One late night in the spring of 1985, Steve Harrington finds Elizabeth Montgomery on the side of the road crying and hurt. Why was she out so late? And what was she running from? These were the only questions on Steve's mind. And after everything that had happened in Hawkins since November 6th, 1983, he wasn't going to leave her like that all alone. This story starts in March 1985, right between season two and season three of Stranger Things. Get ready for a slow burn. **This story will also be published on AO3**

Hawkins guarda secretos. Algunos están enterrados bajo tierra. Otros fueron olvidados a propósito. Y algunos jamás debieron sobrevivir. Madeleine Wheeler ha pasado años fingiendo ser una adolescente normal. Lo suficientemente normal para que nadie haga preguntas. Lo suficientemente normal para que nadie descubra quién fue antes. Pero cuando viejas cicatrices comienzan a abrirse y algo oscuro despierta en Hawkins, el pasado que tanto se esforzó por ocultar regresa por ella. Porque hay una razón por la que ciertos nombres desaparecieron de los archivos. Y una razón por la que el suyo sigue causando miedo.

Hawkins was never meant to remember her. But some stories don't stay buried. Small town. Big secrets. And a girl everyone thinks they understand. Some called her a witch. Some swore she was something closer to an angel. Rachel Lewinsky never tried to be either... and somehow became both. Either way- she was never just a girl. In a town haunted by secrets, where monsters wear familiar faces and grief lingers longer than ghosts, Rachel becomes the quiet center of something far bigger than herself. Marked by loss and shaped by silence, she carries a past that refuses to let go. Friendships fracture. Love burns brighter- and breaks harder. And the darkness isn't just coming for Hawkins... It's coming for her. Because this time, it's not just about surviving. It's about what remains... when everything else is gone.

003, aka "Dahlia Pierce," broke out of the labs when she was only 13. The experiments that were done on her caused her to gain control of the world surrounding her. Her ability to manipulate matter itself unparalleled. Anything and everything surrounding her is hers to play with even the weather itself. Her other abilities include viewing memories of the people around her, hijack or "puppet" the mind of anyone in the world she sought to control, and sense the energy of those with supernatural abilities. When she was in the labs, she was "close" with only one other child. A little girl she knew as Eleven. When she turned 13 and could no longer be controlled, she was deemed "Too High Risk." One day after she had enough, she retaliated on the guards and doctors. Then, she broke free. After she escaped, she made friends and found herself down in New Orleans. But now, at the age of 17, she packs up and moves to Hawkins, Indiana. For a year now, she sensed the abilities of one she thought to be dead. Her little "sister." Eleven. She heads to Hawkins in the hopes of finding her, which proves to be more difficult than not. There, she meets the whole gang as well as a certain mullet headed hothead named Billy.

Step into the darker side of my Stranger Things universe. These OCs weren't just created to fill empty spaces, they were made to survive in the lab, the lies and the monsters no one else sees. From missing experiments and fractured twins to cursed powers, broken homes and soulmates tied together by fear; these characters carry secrets that could shift the whole story. Some will fight. Some will run. And some will be swallowed by the darkness waiting underneath Hawkins. Meet the kids who were never supposed to exist. Meet the ones the world tried to erase. Meet the ones who refused to disappear. a/n: i found the posters pictures on the internet but everything I come up with is by me

Mackenzie Parks is a solitaire rich girl from Hawkins, Indiana. She doesn't have any friends, which is weird considering that she is captain of the track team, goes to piano and violin lessons and is very kind with people. The truth is that she didn't have the time and doesn't feel like making friends. Her dream is to become a lawyer and study at Harvard, since that was what her father did, and to achieve that she needed to focus. Now, are her plans are going to stay the same when she meets a certain group of teens that are fighting for the town? Maybe, maybe she will achieve her plans and stay solo for the rest of her live, or maybe, she will befriend the group of nerds and help them to fight the devil itself. "Do you understand?" "Yeah, but I have a really important question... are we going to die?" Stranger Things (2-5) S. Harrington x F!

Kim Seungmin was supposed to enjoy his recovery rest peacefully. Instead, he ended up with a loud, paranoid next-door neighbor who genuinely believes he might be some kind of suspicious criminal hiding inside Unit 1515. Now his quiet condo life is slowly turning into complete chaos. Between hallway arguments, noise complaints, public embarrassment, and a neighbor who keeps putting his secret idol life in danger, Seungmin is starting to think surviving his ankle injury might actually be easier than surviving her. UPDATE EVERY OTHER DAY @ 1:00 AM UTC

Katherine Byers has always preferred the background. Quiet, cautious, and fiercely loyal, she's the kind of girl who blends into the crowd, until the night her entire world unravels. After a normal evening at the Wheelers' house, Kate and her younger brother Will are attacked by something neither of them can explain. When she wakes up the next morning, Will is gone without a trace. With Hawkins spiraling into panic, Kate is thrust into the chaos alongside her twin brother Jonathan, her best friend Nancy Wheeler, and Will's closest friends. Together, they embark on a terrifying journey into the unknown, where the line between science fiction and reality begins to blur. But as Kate faces unspeakable horrors and the growing darkness beneath Hawkins, an unexpected light finds her in the most unlikely of people: Steve Harrington. Arrogant, charming, and nothing like the guy she thought he was, Steve becomes more than just a reluctant ally; he becomes the one person who truly sees her. As the clock ticks and the dangers multiply, Kate must confront not only what's lurking in the shadows but also the feelings she's tried so hard to ignore. In a town where nothing is what it seems, love might just be the riskiest mystery of all. (season 1 and 2 of Stranger Things)
