She didn't know any better. Years of being raised by the evil entity that was once Henry Creel skewed her view of the world she once lived in. When Y/N is sent by him from the Upside Down to infiltrate those that so tediously continue to thwart his plans, she ends up finding something with someone that she never could have expected. Will she betray the one who raised her, who helped her escape that horrific lab? Or will she help him burn it all to the ground? One thing was for sure. There was only one thing that might change her mind... She just doesn't doesn't even know he exists... Yet. ( Set from the beginning of S4 once flashbacks cease but reader has been part of prior Vecna plans. Reader is over 18/older than El to fit with Steve without it being weird and has powers; is 002 in this story so assume the bullies in the show were 003 upwards. Long-ish intro with flashbacks to try and make it make sense lmfao but only a few chapters. Please read TW's before reading and let me know if there's anything I missed. TW: Violence, brainwashing, death, both mental and physical abuse, manipulation, smut in later chapters, fem!Reader, angst )

I'd kill for you, would you do the same? Stranger Things 4 & 5 / Steve Harrington ©ari, 2022 cover by swannluvr

Billy's gone. Ruby Buckley's world ended with him. But Hawkins isn't done with her yet. When strange deaths begin again, Ruby is pulled into the heart of the storm. Between shadowy nightmares, the town's newest outcast, and someone she was never supposed to feel anything for... Ruby starts to question everything. What she's grieving, what she's fighting for, and who she's becoming. Because in Hawkins, nothing stays buried for long. .⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆. ☽ .⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆. Contains dark themes (drug use, death, grief, etc), strong language and may contain some sexual content. (2025: Rewrite complete✍️)
