❛To care is to heal and be healed, and you are an open wound that never stops bleeding.❜ ( UNDERGOING EDITING - previously published chapters will be reposted one at a time as a revamp & some rewriting commences ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thorn Dillon-Holman has done his time in the dark--he looks now to the stars, silently wondering when it will be his turn to burn vast and bright instead of continuing to fizzle out. Then suddenly, as if to test him or play a very cruel trick upon the town, on a cold November night of 1983, the universe answers. Around the same time a young Will Byers goes missing, Thorn's radio starts speaking to him in static frequencies--frequencies that begin to morph and talk and growl. ⠀⠀⠀⠀Whatever evil pollutes the water in Hawkins doesn't just begin and end with Will, for a great and terrible power finds Thorn when and where he least expects it--in darkness, when all other lights go out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀[ extended summary inside ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀stranger things | season one ⠀⠀⠀⠀nancy wheeler x male oc ⠀⠀⠀⠀CONDUIT series, book one ⠀⠀⠀⠀olivia martin © 2016 (original ⠀⠀⠀⠀version) & 2023 (rewrite) ⠀⠀⠀⠀( cover by me / @iydiamartin )

Teenage romance is already difficult enough to navigate. But when the one you love doesn't love you back? That's the worst pain of all. STRANGER THINGS | NANCY WHEELER seasons 1-2

Briggs is restless, bored with the mundanity of Hawkins and the drag of rural Indiana November. That energy is channeled into laps up and down the Hawkins High pool, where he's worked his way up the ranks of the swim team and found a rival in one of its captains, the arrogant king of Hawkins High himself. Steve Harrington. But weird things start happening in Hawkins. Briggs's best friend's brother disappearing. Mysterious deaths. Suspicious behavior. And as Briggs starts to wrestle with his feelings toward Steve, he thinks that when he said he wanted something different... this really isn't what he had in mind. 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 | 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 & 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐱 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞!𝐨𝐜 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞. 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 @𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥) 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐-𝟐𝟓
