[REPOSTED] "Alice, thank goodness-why the hell did you bring Mews?" "What? I didn't want the evil government agents to get her!" *** Alice Henderson has always been told she's got her mind in Wonderland. She longs for an adventure in her life like the Alice she pretends she's named after. When her brother Dustin's friend Will goes missing in November 1983, she gets what she wished for-and it's not quite as dreamy as she hoped. Dustin, Mike, and Lucas are running wild with a quiet girl with superpowers, Alice's best friend goes missing, and strange things happen left and right that have Alice questioning her sanity. Alice will do anything to protect her brother, learn about her past, and stay alive to go to the Snow Ball, even if it means fighting monsters and making allies in unexpected places. *** COVER BY: @dash-of-clarity !

Armed with nothing but a GED and a small sum of inheritance money, you move to Hawkins, Indiana in March 1985 for a fresh start. It is not your first choice in new places to live-not by a long shot. But when you threw a dart at a map of America and it landed outside of Indianapolis, your research led you to Hawkins. It seems that the town has a strange history with science experiments and government cover-ups, but that's all in the past...right? This is a "Stranger Things" choose-your-own-adventure inspired by the ST choose-your-own-adventure novel, "Heroes & Monsters." It's written in 2nd-person, present-tense and is a Steve Harrington x reader fic. This is also posted on my tumblr and AO3, sattlersquarry !

Emerson Anne Buckley is 18 years old, and she's not going to stay in Hawkins, Indiana for the rest of her miserable life. She has much bigger aspirations: ballet school in Chicago, being invited to dance for the New York City Ballet, and moving her way up to principal dancer. She'll become a success story-someone her younger sister, Robin, and their parents can be proud of. However, the best laid plans too often fall apart. When Em's dreams are shattered and it's looking like she'll be forced to stay in a life she doesn't feel she fits into, she becomes listless. To make matters worse, she stumbles into something really, really dangerous the summer after her senior year of high school. Something deadly. Something monstrous. Emerson Anne Buckley is 18 years old, and she may die in Hawkins, Indiana. *** COVER BY: me!
