Joe Keery has lived next to Holly Richards for the last three years, and yet, he didn't know her. Sure, they'd exchange polite smiles and short conversations in the elevator but he didn't really know her. Until the Fourth of July. Holly Richards was Missing in Action five years ago. What started out as a normal flight mission to survey a rumored base, turned into one of the worst days of her life. She survived but her wingman didn't. A year after her safe return and his death, Holly decided to move and start over. Holly thought she'd spend the rest of her life alone. Until the Fourth of July.

Joe Keery is known as Hollywood's Badboy. He's a badass. He's tough. He's hot. But he has a temper and a reputation. One that his manager Andrew is done trying to clean up. So he decided to do something drastic: hire a girl to play Joe Keery's Girlfriend. Evelyn Jones is a rising star. She's got a successful show on Netflix and her fan numbers are building up by the minute. She has a reputation of handling anything Hollywood throws at her. The real question? Can she handle this next career move?

Just some imagines because it's 4 am and I can't sleep :)

Hawkins, Indiana isn't the kind of town you escape to. It's the kind you get trapped in. At seventeen, Lily Hargrove has already learned how to survive a broken home. When her mother vanished years ago, she and her twin brother Billy were left alone with a father whose anger only grew sharper with time. Then came Susan Mayfield - and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Maxine. They've known Max since she was small. She grew up around them. Grew up watching. Listening. Learning when to stay quiet. But knowing someone doesn't mean understanding them. When Neil Hargrove decides to move the family from California to the sleepy town of Hawkins, Billy is furious. Lily is exhausted. And Max is caught in the middle - old enough now to see the cracks in their family clearly, but still young enough to hope things might get better. They won't. Hawkins feels wrong from the start. The woods stretch too far. The air feels too still. And at night, the darkness hums. Lily is the first to sense it - something watching from the tree line. Something that doesn't belong. A creature that moves like an animal but isn't one. A mouth full of teeth that opens like a nightmare unfolding. A sound that isn't a scream - but close enough. As strange disappearances shake Hawkins and rumors spread through the halls of Hawkins High, Lily and Max are pulled into a secret far bigger than their family drama - a tear in reality that threatens to swallow the town whole. Lily laughs, she cries, she smiles all because of that one specific person, Steve Harrington. In Hawkins, monsters don't just live in another dimension. Sometimes they live in your house. Sometimes they wear your father's face. And sometimes... they're waiting for you in the dark.

After your sweet husband passes away your life is turned upside down, until his best friend steps in to try to help you navigate it. Emotional rollercoaster of trying to understand, leaning on each other and over stepping boundaries. Smut, angst.

Aly is a 32 year old single mother, raising her seven year old son on her own. After being widowed at 30 and going out on awful dates with disgusting men, she has decided that she's giving up. She already had her great love. One person couldn't possibly get lucky enough to have two. But then her son starts baseball and the coach might just change her mind about that.

Steve Harrington learned how to survive. He never learned how to be loved. After everything Hawkins put him through, Steve settles into a quieter life teaching middle school, coaching baseball, and pretends the past stayed buried when the gates finally closed for good. He smiles when he's supposed to. He keeps the noise on at night. He doesn't let anyone close enough to see the scars he still carries. The town knows about the earthquakes and blackouts but they don't know what it cost him. Claire Bennett always noticed the things other people missed. The kid who never talked, the one who flinched at sudden noises, and the ones who learned how to disappear in plain sight. Which is why she noticed Steve. She remembers the boy Steve used to be. Or at least, the boy everyone thought he was. Popular. Untouchable. Safe. What she finds instead is a man who startles too easily, avoids silence, and carries a loneliness that feels familiar. They went to school together their whole lives but they may as well have been in completely different worlds. Now they share hallways, late afternoons, and a growing awareness that some parts of him never made it out of the darkness that still haunts him. This is a story about how sometimes healing begins with someone simply choosing to stay. *Updates on Mondays and Thursdays

Different blurbs with Steve Harrington as the main interest. I post these same blurbs on Tumblr @annab-nana. Enjoy my loves!

She grew up across the street from him. Joe was first crushes, porch lights, family parties, and everything Victoria never quite got over. Even when he left for college. Even when New York claimed him. Even when the world did too. Years later, Victoria is building a life through photography, art, and carefully controlled distance when she's invited on tour with Joe and his friends, but proximity has a way of exposing what time never erased. As old feelings collide with new realities, Victoria is forced to confront the hardest truth of all: loving someone for years doesn't mean they were ever yours.
