Emily Byers was never supposed to disappear. Quiet, gentle, and always clinging to her little brother Will, she was the last person in Hawkins anyone expected to vanish into the night. But on November 6th, 1983, the Byers children never made it home. Now Hawkins searches for two missing kids, Joyce Byers refuses to give up, and Will's friends begin to suspect that something far darker than a runaway case is lurking in the woods. Trapped in a world that isn't supposed to exist, Emily must fight to stay alive- and Will must fight to keep her breathing. Some shadows come in pairs. And in Hawkins, nothing stays buried for long.

Vincent Mercer did not ask for this. Monsters, he can accept. Steve Harrington, however, is another matter entirely. "You're such an asshole, Mercer!" Vincent didn't look back as he opened the door. "Takes one to know one, Harrington." [Steve Harrington x maleoc] Stranger Things seasons 1-5 Currently writing season 4

"You promise?" Steve Harrington decided Tessa Hopper was worth knowing the moment he met her in seventh grade. Fifteen minutes later, after she made Tommy Hagan cry with a few mean words and a deadly glare, he decided she was his new best friend. Four years later, and that hasn't changed. Except, unfortunately for Tessa, friendship stopped being enough somewhere along the way. Steve is her best friend, her safe place, and the one person who could break her heart without even meaning to. But having already lost enough people to last her a lifetime, Tessa's learned to hold onto the people who stay, even if that means settling for whatever scraps of Steve she can get. But when Will Byers goes missing, and Hawkins begins unraveling into a town of monsters, secrets, and things no one was ever supposed to see, everything changes. Including Steve. Suddenly, the feelings Tessa spent years trying to bury are not so easy to hide anymore, especially when Steve starts looking at her like he's finally seeing what's been right in front of him all along. ⚠️ All em dashes, Oxford commas, and semicolons in this fic are HUMAN-generated, babes!

Hawkins, Indiana isn't the kind of town you escape to. It's the kind you get trapped in. At seventeen, Lily Hargrove has already learned how to survive a broken home. When her mother vanished years ago, she and her twin brother Billy were left alone with a father whose anger only grew sharper with time. Then came Susan Mayfield - and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Maxine. They've known Max since she was small. She grew up around them. Grew up watching. Listening. Learning when to stay quiet. But knowing someone doesn't mean understanding them. When Neil Hargrove decides to move the family from California to the sleepy town of Hawkins, Billy is furious. Lily is exhausted. And Max is caught in the middle - old enough now to see the cracks in their family clearly, but still young enough to hope things might get better. They won't. Hawkins feels wrong from the start. The woods stretch too far. The air feels too still. And at night, the darkness hums. Lily is the first to sense it - something watching from the tree line. Something that doesn't belong. A creature that moves like an animal but isn't one. A mouth full of teeth that opens like a nightmare unfolding. A sound that isn't a scream - but close enough. As strange disappearances shake Hawkins and rumors spread through the halls of Hawkins High, Lily and Max are pulled into a secret far bigger than their family drama - a tear in reality that threatens to swallow the town whole. Lily laughs, she cries, she smiles all because of that one specific person, Steve Harrington. In Hawkins, monsters don't just live in another dimension. Sometimes they live in your house. Sometimes they wear your father's face. And sometimes... they're waiting for you in the dark.

Little rebel Maxine, troublemaker Billy, and bad girl Roxy. The Hargroves have arrived.

Forced to move from California to Hawkins for a so-called fresh start, Maddison Hargrove has no interest in rebuilding her life in a town that feels too small and too watchful. Things change when she befriends Nancy Wheeler, until Maddison catches the attention of Nancy's boyfriend, Steve Harrington. What starts as harmless interest quickly turns into something more complicated, forcing Maddison to choose between loyalty and temptation in a town where secrets never stay hidden.

Margaret Harrington is a coward. She's afraid of speaking up in class. She's afraid of making friends with the cool art kid in her history class. She's afraid of what happens if she breaks her parents rules. No boys, no sleepovers, no leaving the house. Most important of all: no telling anyone what happens if she breaks the rules. And unfortunately for her, Steve is just as scared of their parents. But what happens when her friends help her learn that she doesn't need to be afraid? That her parents rules aren't normal? Can the divide between her and her brother be fixed? (Used to be a one shot with Y/N but is now a full story!)
