The story of what happens in between those 18 months post the final battle and high school graduation. Max's recovery. Her relationship journey with Lucas. Lucas growing up into the man his father always taught him to be. (Highly suggest listening to songs while reading it's intentionally) (Not related to my other Lumax Series.) I do not own these characters: Thank you to the Duffer brothers who do. Enjoy!!

i don't really know. it's some lumax and mileven sometimes with a little spice. I'm really just sorta winging it when i write these so umm enjoy i guess... also i usually write these at like 11 pm and then continue to write til 3 am so if they're a little wild sorry i guess.

Lukas has to say goodbye to his girlfriend in the worst way possible. ×Apocalypse AU× ∆Yes, I have a habit of spelling "Lucas" like "Lukas"...sorry, but oh well.∆ Typical zombie thing, because I don't have time to make anything elaborate. :)

trust me it's rocky at first but it gets better 😭 So this is after the battle of star court and this is my first fanfic that I've published so I hope you like it! It's ended and more details abt that are in the last chapter :) NONE OF THESE ARE MINE THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE DUFFER BROTHERS

After the Snow Ball and the long, chaotic summer of '83, Max Mayfield is finally learning to stop running. Hawkins is her home now, whether she likes it or not, and for the first time, she's starting to embrace it. No more hiding, no more trying to escape-this is her life, and she's determined to make it hers. This story follows Max as she navigates life in Hawkins, from the quiet moments of self-discovery to the excitement, drama, and challenges of her new friendships. Readers will get a behind-the-scenes look at her relationships with everyone in the party, especially Lucas-how they came together, how they grew, and what it really means to fall in love in a town where danger and chaos are never far away. But it's not just about romance. Max must learn to deal with her complicated family, including her stepfather Neil, and confront the shadows of her past in California while figuring out who she truly wants to be. Full of heart, humor, and the struggles of growing up in Hawkins, this story is a journey into the life of Max Mayfield-strong, fearless, and finally choosing to stay.

༺♡༻ In which, Max has issues at home which, effect her social life. She swears she will never tell anyone about her issues, but will she keep this secret when Lucas Sinclair comes around..?

This story will contain sensitive topics including abuse, swearing and blood etc thats why it is under mature. This story will switch through Max and lucas's POV's but mainly Max's. This story will start before the end of the battle of startcourt.

⚠️This is part of a series! please read the other books first!⚠️ This is the correct order: Hysterical, Miracle, Grown, Devoted. Max and Lukas finally get engaged, and take their relationship to the heights of passion they always wished to reach. but of course, life always finds new ways to test them.

A modern day au story centered around Max's home life, and when she moves, a certain someone helps her through the hardships. I labeled it as mature due to language, alcoholism, and "violence". There will be no smut in this book.

Currently rewriting some chapters into new stories! Requests are always welcome! (lumax) !2026!
