Now, instead of living her quiet, peaceful life, she's dealing with: • ‌A ridiculously good-looking serial killer who won't leave her alone. • ‌Death threats that sound suspiciously flirty. And, Eleo's got two options: 1. Find out who the killer is before he "accidentally" falls in love with her. 2. Die. ...And dying sounds 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 inconvenient. 🚨 Not a tutorial. Do NOT attempt.

The cancer diagnosis, eventually leading to the tragic death of her little sister had torn her family apart and had left a hole in both her and her parents' hearts. Her parents got divorced, unable to cope with the loss of their youngest and easily their favorite child, not that they would ever admit that. Her mother decided that if she couldn't have her youngest daughter she didn't want any daughter at all, so Riley moved to Hawkins, Indianna with her father. He became the Chief of Police...and she became something else entirely. After a tragic incident, Riley finds herself trapped in a terrifying alternate dimension, running from monsters who are trying to kill her. After a year of enduring this hell, Riley is finally able to escape, and return to her life in Hawkins, thinking that she has escaped her landscape of nightmares forever...until a little boy by the name of Will Byers goes missing exactly one year after her escape. Despite the fact that Riley hasn't uttered a word since she returned home, she must rely on the kindness and skill of complete strangers to find Will and rescue him before he falls prey to the Monsters that haunt her mind. And in the process, Riley finds out that this alternate universe isn't the only battlefield she's going to have to face.

    What's in the heart of a Hyde? Is it purely dark and filled with hatred, or is it still possible to make it flicker? *** Tyler Galpin is done with mothers and masters. His heart can't take any more sorrows and rejections. He believes himself to be a lost cause. But yet, when Isadora Capri, the new principal at Nevermore Academy, offers him the opportunity to enroll in a special rehabilitation program for outcasts whose abilities have made them dangerous to others, he reluctantly agrees. The moment he steps into the school, the whispers and gasps start. They all fear him. Everyone but Wednesday Addams. She who saw him. She who freed him. She who he swore to kill. When another string of Hyde attacks occurs, Tyler becomes the prime suspect. With no one on his side, he is about to give up when an unlikely ally steps forward: Wednesday Addams. She believes he's innocent, asking him to aid her in the investigation. But they have to work fast, before Tyler is deemed too dangerous for the school and sent to another asylum. The hunt for the culprit leads right into Tyler's past and makes him question whether what he believes about himself is actually true. Perhaps it's not too late to make the heart of this Hyde flicker? *** This story is set in an imagined season 4 of the show. It's told entirely in Tyler's POV as he navigates Nevermore after having learned to control his Hyde (well, somewhat at least... you'll see!). It also features a slow burn (because I don't think there is any other way to do this, as there is a lot of healing and mending needed) romance between him and Wednesday.

    "𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬?" "𝐈𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞!" Iris Henderson was popular, but the nice kind of popular. The kind of popular that you aren't scared of. Steve Harrington, on the other hand, was the opposite. They seemed like the dream couple to everyone at school even though they weren't even dating, they didn't even talk, and they were barely aquainted. until Dustin takes a liking to Steve, and the dynamic completely changes. i don't own stranger things or steve harrington, just my characters!!!
