Kimberley Henderson has rules: protect the kids, keep her head down - and the newest one: don't get involved with Billy Hargrove. But when the Hargroves move in next door, Hawkins starts to unravel. As the Upside Down creeps closer and the town turns into a war zone, Kim is pulled into the Party's nightmare... and into a volatile, magnetic push-and-pull with Billy that feels like playing with fire. Because in Hawkins, the monster isn't always the thing in the dark. Sometimes it's the boy next door. Or worse... yourself. Stranger Things retelling with an OC woven into canon - dark tension, slow-burn, and a dangerous enemies-to-lovers thread. Canon events. Canon dialogue. Seasons 2 - 5. Note: contains coercive/violent dynamics and scenes of a sexual nature

Callie Henderson has always been the easiest person in Hawkins to love. She's bright, talkative, endlessly kind, and almost always found with a book tucked beneath her arm or Dustin Henderson trailing somewhere behind her like a shadow. Between babysitting her little brother and his strange collection of middle-school misfits, smiling through awkward family dinners, and trying to survive the boredom of Hawkins High, Callie has built a reputation for being sweet enough to get along with anyone. Anyone except Steve Harrington. Cocky, infuriating, and far too aware of his own charm, Steve gets under Callie's skin like no one else can. Their conversations usually end in sarcasm, eye rolls, and slammed lockers, and if Callie never has to hear his smug voice again, it'll still be too soon. Unfortunately for her, Hawkins is small. And when a boy goes missing, strange things begin crawling out of the dark, and the people Callie loves most are pulled into a nightmare no one understands, avoiding Steve Harrington becomes impossible. Because somewhere between late-night searches, bloodied knuckles, terrified kids, and secrets too dangerous to tell, the boy she thought she hated starts becoming someone else entirely. Someone protective. Someone broken. Someone impossible not to care about. But falling for Steve Harrington was never part of Callie Henderson's story. Especially when love has always made her shy.

"I fucking hate you." "I fucking hate you too." Meet Rory Henderson. Big sister. Burnout. Leather jacket energy. Steve Harrington's walking migraine. She's also the first love he can't shake. Prior to Hawkins swallowing people whole, Steve and Rory were a thing: kisses in dark corners, secret rendezvous, sleepless nights.

She was the girl he wanted in every way but never had the courage to treat right. They'll be trialled with hatred, rivalry, jealousy, near-death experiences... and years of bad timing, where Steve and Rory keep finding their way back to each other.

They're under each other's skin. -Dual narrative POV -Original female character -5 seasons; season 1 complete, season 2 being written

As the years pass, she survives monsters, broken relationships, and the slow realization that being present doesn't always mean being seen.
