In Hawkins, Indiana, nothing stays the same for long-especially when your little brother goes missing and your life turns upside down. Sabrina "Bina" Byers has always worn a mask of perfection: the popular girl, the one everyone notices, the one no one associates with the quiet, brooding Byers family. But when tragedy strikes, that mask begins to crack, revealing the fiercely loyal, stubborn, and fearless girl beneath. Steve Harrington has always been the charming, confident guy at school-the friend everyone leans on, the boy who never takes life too seriously. He and Bina have known each other for years, but their friendship has always been complicated: teasing, frustrating, and somehow comforting all at once. As Hawkins falls into chaos, Bina and Steve are forced to confront the things they've never said, the feelings they've tried to ignore, and the bond that has been there all along. From heart-wrenching moments of fear and loss to quiet, stolen glances and undeniable sparks, their friendship slowly evolves into something neither of them can deny. Time After Time is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers story about loyalty, courage, and realizing that sometimes, the person you've been standing beside all along is the one who has always had your heart.

--- CAROLINE MATTHEWS was single-handedly the most awkward person on planet earth. She's an only child who didn't know how to properly interact with other people her age until she met someone equally as awkward, Jonathan Byers. The two were both too shy to say two words to each other, so for nearly three months they sat at the same bench at recess simply just existing together. That was until Jonathan finally found the courage to ask if she wanted the other half of his sandwich when he realised she had no lunch with her that day. Her mother had been too hungover that morning to bother making her anything. Since then they've been joint at the hip; Jonathan's younger brother Will joked that they had been fused together. Caroline quickly became a regular at the Byers household whenever her mother decided to get drunk off another bottle of cheap wine. Her crush on Jonathan became apparent to her after they started high school when he started to stand up to Tommy H and Carol whenever they made comments about her. The effort was futile, but she had never had someone stand up for her in that way before. She tried to hide it as best she could, but Joyce and Will caught on pretty quickly, Joyce with her knowing stare and Will just outright confronted her when Jonathan had left the room for a minute. The only person who didn't know was Jonathan, and she was fine with keeping it that way; she didn't want to ruin her only friendship since her stuffed teddy bear that she got when she was three. But when Will goes missing one November night and Jonathan becomes closer with a certain Wheeler sibling, she feels her heart begin to crack slowly and achingly.

𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐄 𝐁𝐘𝐄𝐑𝐒 never really had the perfect life, but she was always grateful for all the good things around her. Everything was going well, her father had finally left the house for good, she had an incredible little brother, and an amazing older brother. But unfortunately, she was born into a family that never seems to know long-term luck. One night, while she was spending the night at one of her best friends' houses, 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃, her little brother 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐘𝐄𝐑𝐒 was supposed to come home alone. However, when she returned home the next day, she was never greeted by that little angelic face she loved so much. On November 7, 1983, her world collapsed. After that morning, many events unfolded, but all she knew was that she would do everything to find her little brother. But amid all this chaos, a boy came to either fix things... or make them worse. 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐕𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐓𝐎𝐍. The boy she had been so close to once. Her childhood best friend. He knew everything about her, yet she felt like she knew nothing about him anymore. The caring, kind boy she once knew had disappeared the moment he started hanging out with the wrong crowd. She hated him, but at the same time, she missed him. He was sorry, and he was doing everything to be forgiven. ── .✦ 𝐅𝐞𝐦!𝐨𝐜 𝐱 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧 @𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐄𝐥 🩷

Andy Hopper already had enough to deal with. She hated her mom's new boyfriend, she was still grieving the death of her sister, and she hadn't seen her dad in years. The last thing she needed was to be packed up and shipped off to the small town of Hawkins, Indiana to live with said dad. And she certainly didn't need to deal with the mouthbreather Steve Harrington as her desk buddy or the stupid and giddy way he made her feel. It was about time for some damage control. (S1- )
