A small-town elementary school teacher, Angelica, finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a result, she becomes trapped in the Hawkins lab with seemingly no escape. The only comfort she has is teaching the "patients", as Dr. Brenner calls them. Helping the children have some semblance of a normal childhood helps ease Angelica but she dreams of the life she once had. As she fights to establish her new normal, and perhaps develop an escape plan, she catches the eye of the lab's most deadly weapon, Henry Creel.

(Henry Creel/001 fic) Lydia Brenner had few memories of her childhood. She had never questioned the three formative truths she'd clung to for long as she could remember: 1. 10 years ago, Dr. Martin Brenner had rescued her from the psychotic child-testing laboratory he'd been doing research for, 2. They'd fled, as father and daughter, to unassuming Hawkins, Indiana where she'd tried for years to mend the gaps and empty places that remained in every part of her and... 3. She was devastatingly and irrevocably devoted to the memory of a boy and his haunting blue eyes- the one her papa insisted had been a figment of the fractured, comfort-starved mind of a child. She'd never questioned it-until she could no longer deny herself the one thing she'd known inherently, the one thing she hadn't needed to be told: the exact shade and feeling she would recognize immediately if the deepest desire of her heart were to ever miraculously materialize before her. And, somehow, it had. Somehow, they were here now: real, raw, undeniably his. Familiar. Devastating. So very blue. They were here-and they were staring at her.

Henry Creel survives the battle, but surviving comes at a cost. With the mind flayer dead, his powers fade, leaving him locked inside the lab that ruined him. This time, he has no voice guiding him, no powers to use as an escape. Only memories. Valerie, Dr. Brenner's daughter, is forced to work as his psychiatric nurse. She's meant to keep her distance and remember his past; but proximity blurs lines, and Henry has never been one to follow the rules. What starts professional observation quickly turns into something dangerous as Henry starts to see Valerie, not as a part of the lab, but as someone who understands him. Someone who listens to him, someone he wants. He begins to see her in a way no one else ever has. And in a place that's meant to to use and destroy him, she may be the one thing he can't let go of. "You're the only thing that makes sense to me," Henry says quietly, "the only thing that feels real." Henry Creel x Fem!OC

❝Every Lost Cause Becomes A Reckoning. ❞ Y/N was a forgotten experiment, a file erased and a mistake buried deep within the lab's history. Long before the world knew Eleven, there was another girl they tried to control...and failed. She built a life beyond the walls meant to contain her. A quiet life. A safe life. But some forces do not stay buried. And some connections were never truly severed. They called her a lost cause. They were wrong.

Over the years the FBI had gotten dozens of reports of strange things going on at Hawkins Laboratory. Though there was nothing conclusive the reports were deemed serious enough to send an agent out to look around and ask a few questions. When she runs into a young man named Henry, silently screaming for some sort of help, she knows she can't just leave him there alone in the hands of Dr. Brenner. Though she is warned about her decision to remove him from the facility under her jurisdiction as an FBI agent she has yet to realize the warning was for her own safety. Not for his.

'Did we take it too far?' Like all children she heard the stories of monsters under the bed.She never expected the monsters would lay next to each other on her bed. Peter Ballard x oc Stranger Things season 4 setting

After being released from Dr. Brenners care, Henry Creel, son of Victor Creel, who murdered his wife and daughter, must learn to adapt to being a teenager. Heather Goodwill, an OC, meets him and the two hit it off. Heather becomes attracted to Henry's obliviousness in some cases, and his mysteriousness. ✅MATURE CONTENT.✅

Hawkins National Laboratory runs on routine: checklists, keycards, fluorescent lights, and the understanding that nothing here is personal. You learn this quickly, just a few days into the job that was forced onto you. You also learn that Peter Ballard never walks the same route twice, never stands where the cameras linger too long, and never looks at you unless you're alone. You are both orderlies-interchangeable, invisible, trained to keep your heads down and your mouths shut. Friendship is discouraged. Attachment is a liability. Affection is a violation. So you talk in hallways without microphones. You pass notes meant to be destroyed. You pretend not to notice when he positions himself between you and certain doors. Peter says the lab is watching everyone. Later, in a voice barely above a whisper, he tells you who you should really be afraid of. You should report him. You should keep your distance. You should never follow him off-camera. But the spaces between cameras are the only places you ever feel safe-and Peter is the only one who knows how to find them. Before the blood. Before the fire. Before he stops hesitating- you make a choice that was never cleared.

Hawkins survived the nightmare-barely. The fourth kill never happened. Max lived. Vecna fell. Eleven used everything she had to banish him back into the Upside Down and seal every known gate forever. To the world, the threat ended there. The connection was broken. Evil was defeated. But something went wrong. For a fraction of a second, a glitch tore through reality-and Henry Creel escaped. Stripped of the monstrous body the Upside Down gave him, severed from its power, Henry returned to the real world trapped in human form. No gates. No hive mind. No control. Only dormant abilities, fragments of what he once was, and a burning hatred for the world that rejected him. For four long years, he stayed hidden, learning humanity not out of empathy-but survival. Waiting. Planning. Recovering what little power he could, while plotting how to reclaim the rest. Then he meets Eliana "Ellie" Wheeler. Eighteen. Fierce. Soft-hearted in ways she doesn't admit. The youngest Wheeler sibling who never saw Vecna, never faced the monster-only heard whispers of him. To her, Henry is just a man with a calm voice, a sharp mind, and eyes she finds herself lingering on-beautiful, steady, and quietly unreadable. She doesn't know what he is. She doesn't know what he's done. And she doesn't know that she was never meant to matter... until she did. As Henry's revenge plan begins to unfold-one that requires Ellie's trust more than her fear-lines blur between manipulation and something far more dangerous: love. Can a monster who was never shown mercy learn it now? Can love redeem what hatred shaped? Or will Hawkins pay the price for believing evil can change? This is a story about obsession, slow-burning romance, moral conflict, and the question no one ever dared to ask: When love stands before a monster, will he choose it-and if he does, will it save him... or destroy him anyway?
