These feelings are crushing Max to pieces, and she doesn't know what to do about it. *(Guys, they're not actually just going to be friends. They obviously like each other, they're gonna be soft lesbians, okay? Okay.) !!MAJOR S3 SPOILERS!!

The Party still hangs out; they are as close as ever.) (There is also gonna be some Byler, but not whole chapters or anything like that)

THESE CHARACTERS ARE OWNED BY THE DUFFER BROTHERS AND NETFLIX I DO NOT CLAIM TO OWN ANY OF THEM AND OR OTHER IDEAS *All credits go to the artist of the piece I used for the cover* Set around Season 3 of Stranger Things, It's Not Three Inches With You is a sapphic romance between El and Max. El has her powers, Hopper and Billy are alive, the mall is still there and the Upside Down exists but there are no supernatural issues per se (yay). Hawkins, Indiana. 1985. El Hopper has spent her entire life never really knowing who she is. She was taken from her mother and forced to live inside a lab as a human test experiment until the age of eleven due to her psychokinetic abilities. After escaping, she made friends and found a family, as well as saving the world a couple times too. Now she's almost fourteen and she's living the teenage dream that she deserves. She's finally free of her annoying boyfriend Mike and she's got a new best friend Max. Max is outgoing and fun and everything El wants to be. She's also...really pretty. As the summer spirals out of control and the two become even closer friends than before, will they find something more than friendship? And if they do...what does that mean?

This story takes place in season 2- season 3.Hopper and Billy are alive. The Byers, hopper and el moved to california for a "New start". Max couldn't help but wonder who that girl named el was.. (I'm not good at the descriptions ik💀😭)

⚠️FINISHED⚠️This is my second elmax story! This story takes place after s2. Hopper and Billy are alive. Max and el start figuring stuff out.. El and hopper live with the Byers Anywayss I have no clue what to write in the description so I hope to anyone who might read this story have fun and enjoy!

After the death of Billy Max turned to Eleven for support. As did Eleven with the disappearance of her dad, Hopper. They were together almost everyday. They grew closer and they felt safe when they were together. Lucas, Max her boyfriend and Mike, eleven her boyfriend, were concerned about their relationship since the girls never hang out with them anymore. Life started to feel normal again until Joyce announced that they were moving. TO CALIFORNIA. Eleven and Will would be separated from the group. Eleven would be away from her boyfriend, Mike. But also- Away from her best friend Max. The first few weeks were hard. Eleven wrote Mike every day since she felt out of place and lonely. Signing it with - Love, El. Since that was the only thing getting her through this change. But Eleven noticed that she wrote to Mike- but didn't really miss him that much. The one constantly on her mind was...Max. This story is based on Stranger Things, but is not completely accurate to the show. This story happened after season 3, but some details are different. So be aware that some information in this story is made up and isn't accurate to the show now. <3 Hope you enjoy!

It's the summer of 85'. The year of self discovery, teen drama and some supernatural monsters. ↳ season 3 and 4 with season 2 flashbacks.

This fanfic does not take place in a canonical season of stranger things. The plot is all from my mind! Hope u all enjoy! (Updates will be slow because motivation comes and goes to me like my dad in and out of my life)

❝I never thought I'd be the kind of person who could fall for her best friend. But El isn't just any best friend - she's the girl who saved my life, who sees the real me even when I'm trying to hide.❞ After surviving Vecna's attack, Max Mayfield is done pretending. With a new haircut, a new style, and two amazing gay "big sisters" in Robin and Nancy, she's finally ready to be herself. There's just one problem: she's hopelessly falling for El. Between dealing with her mom's stint in rehab, learning to accept herself, and trying not to completely freak out every time El smiles at her, Max is having one hell of a year. But maybe, just maybe, being different isn't the worst thing in the world. After all, normal is boring in Hawkins, right? A story about finding yourself, falling in love, and realizing that sometimes the best families are the ones we choose. ✧ A Stranger Things fanfic ✧ Elmax ✧ LGBTQ+ ✧ Coming of age

⚠️FINISHED⚠️This is my first fan fiction! I'm sorry if I made any mistakes. The first chapters are basically based on things that happened in the show. so it might be boring in the start. It starts from season 2 when max came in Hawkins. I hope you like it! Enjoy
