"Sometimes the bad guys are smart too." ~Will Byers At only eight years old, Pine Knight became the prime suspect for her parents' murder. Dying to protect their daughter, Lilac and Jerry Knight had kept lots of secrets. Years later when Pine is twelve years old and living in Hawkins Indiana the mysterious vanishing of Will Byers stirs things up, opening many doors Pine had always known to be locked in her past. Closer to intimate danger, Pine comes closer to learning the truth of the 1979 murder of which she had so closely witnessed. Maybe even making a few friends along the way.

[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 !

Y/n L/n was experiment number 10. You escaped the lab when you were eleven. After walking a few miles, you passed out. When you came too, four boys were standing above you. Fast forward three years, you are best friends with Mike, Lucas, Will, and Dustin. They know about your powers (mind reading, mind control, emotion reading, and emotion control.) And they helped you find a family that cares about you and knows about your powers too. But everything falls apart when Will goes missing one night and you see the girl that kept you sane, the girl that you completely forgot about, your sister Eleven. I'm really bad at descriptions, and all credits go to the Duffer Brothers and all the rest of the amazing writers. Will Byers x fem! reader ***DISCONTINUED*** Maybe will pick up again someday

STORY LINE FROM STRANGER THINGS BUT ADDED PARTS FROM ME I would also recommend watching Stranger Things before reading this. (Y/N = YOUR NAME) You escaped a lab a few years ago when you were fit enough to join second grade. A group of boys no older than you were playing in a nearby park and brought you to their parents where they found you a mother who adopted you. Everything was going alright your life was great and you hadn't encountered anyone that worked in the lab since, until one night everything changed... (The story POV is based on whatever your character is doing not what every other character is doing)

Welcome to Hawkins, Indiana! (This is a Stranger Things x Female Reader with you thrown in the mix. This is only season 1, so only little romance is involved with the kids. It will be a Mike x Female reader, but eventually things will be switching up!) **DISCLAIMER: I don't own Stranger Things, nor the characters/plot!!** *The only thing I DO own is (Y/n) and any interaction with (Y/n) are all my ideas* **ITS SUPER CLOSE TO THE SERIES. (I understand this is going to be scene for scene, but I am the writer, and this is what I enjoy)** You woke up one day in the adoption center with fuzzy memory. You can only remember bits and pieces of what happened when you got to the adoption center. However, when you woke up, you saw a boy looking at you curiously with a woman who seems to be his mother. His hair was super curly, and when he smiled, you realized he had missing teeth, and he dressed in the 80s. They adopted you, and your name is (Y/n) Henderson. You befriend Dustin Henderson, age 13, and you're 12. You go to Hawkins Middle school. It took a while for you to settle in and finally talk. They provided you a house with fresh clothes, food, and treated you like their own. You also befriend Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, and Lucas Sinclair and join their DnD group. Things start to get a little weird after Will disappears, and now you're sucked into an investigation with your friends, hoping to find what memory you've lost.
