Joni Henderson was never meant to stay long - just a winter layover in freezing Hawkins, Christmas 1985. Baby cousin-sitting, dodging drama, counting down the days until California's sun and salt called her back. Then there was Eddie Munson. Town freak. Dungeon Master. Wild grin behind the wheel of a rust-bucket van. And hopelessly, stupidly smitten with a certain Henderson cousin. They both knew it couldn't last. She was headed west, and he was stuck exactly where he'd always been. But sometimes, a fling doesn't fold away neatly with the Christmas lights. Before the darkness swallowed him. Before she realised she wasn't leaving alone. Before the world they almost built cracked open into something far bigger.

Things changed after the Battle of Hogwarts. The death of Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter left the Wizarding World in shambles. Voldemort quickly took power, slaughtering any soul unwilling to swear allegiance. However, there were cowards amongst us, those who bent the knee for the sake of survival. Voldemort had a special job for those of us who surrendered. We were to be entertainment for him and his followers, his Death Eaters. We were to be performers: dancers, singers, instrumentalists. Entertainment crafted by the mundane, he'd taunted. There were some who secretly believed that one day we would be liberated, set free from the tyrannical rule of the Dark Lord. It's nothing but a fairytale, a story meant to soothe terrified minds, for who was strong enough to kill the darkest wizard of our age?

"God, you're fucking pretty," he blurts. "Funny," she utters. "Was gonna say the exact same thing about you." ________________________________________ Steve Harrington never really gave Rosemary much thought. Why would he? She was just the girl next door. The weird one. She was just the weird girl next door. Until she wasn't. Until she grew up and aged like a fine wine. ________________________________________ I just wanted to write something cute. Oneshot type fic that follows one of my Stranger Things OCs (NOT canon to my Flipped ST fic). Idk I just always had this headcanon that Steve had this weird but cute neighbour that he grew up with and would eventually fall for. Also always liked the idea of an adorable side-character that had more to her than meets the eye, and would join the main cast in S5. Let me know what you think!

She's been called the Invisible Woman her whole life. But she's never been more seen than she is by you. Sue Storm (late 30s) is a goddess in heels, controlled, brilliant, and terrifyingly calm. A mother of two. A woman built from silence and steel. A superhero who commands light and force with a flick of her wrist, and a protector who would tear the world apart for her children. After a quiet, mutual separation from Reed Richards, Sue has built a life of structure, softness, and solitude. Love? She doesn't believe in it. Not anymore. Until you walk in, young (mid 20s) woman, sharp, and disarmingly kind. A quantum physicist assigned to the latest anomaly threat. You don't try to impress her. You don't ask her for anything. And that's exactly why she starts watching you. And then... wanting you. What begins as cautious respect spirals into something far more intimate, dangerous, magnetic, and life altering. But the anomaly isn't the only threat rising. The more Sue lets herself feel, the more she risks everything: her control, her family, and the fragile world she's always kept just beyond her own heart.

18 year old Haley Henderson is a senior at Hawkins High-and Dustin Henderson's older sister. Pretty, popular, and fiercely protective of the people she loves, Haley is known for being kind to everyone, no matter what clique they belong to. Eddie Munson, on the other hand, is the self-proclaimed "freak" of Hawkins. Leader of the Hellfire Club, he spends his days playing Dungeons & Dragons, blasting metal music, and dodging the school's judgmental stares. When Haley and Eddie finally cross paths, there's an instant spark-unexpected, electric, and impossible to ignore. But as tensions rise in Hawkins, vengeful jocks close in, and a new threat emerges from the Upside Down... their connection might be the only thing that keeps them (and everyone else) alive. Disclaimer: I only own Haley Henderson. The rest of the cast is owned by the brilliant Duffer Brothers. Although, I am willing to fight them if anything bad happens to Steve, Eddie, or Dustin.
