future rhythms | stranger things
Everyone knew Becca Hopper wanted out of Hawkins. Her social life consisted of a middle schooler she babysat, his friends she occasionally drove around, and that was it. She was simply the chief's daughter no one had ever truly gotten the chance to know. But with gates into other worlds opening and Dustin Henderson dragging her into trouble, she has no choice but to get to know the people she'd spent so long ignoring. And catching Steve Harrington's attention? That didn't matter to her in the slightest. Really. Stranger Things Fanfic Steve Harrington X OC COMPLETED UNTIL SEASON 5

The Fate of Hawkins; A Stranger Things Fanfiction
Y/n L/n has lived in Hawkins, Indiana her entire life, where nothing ever seemed to happen-until Will Byers disappears and the town is pulled into something far darker than anyone could have imagined. What begins as a missing person case quickly spirals into a nightmare of monsters and government secrets: the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, underground Russian operations, and Vecna himself, each threat more devastating than the last. Thrust into this hidden world alongside unlikely allies, Y/n is forced to adapt quickly, proving herself intelligent under pressure and brave when it matters most. But nothing prepares her for Steve Harrington. At first, he is everything she can't stand-arrogant, reckless, and the kind of popular jerk she learned to avoid. That changes the night he saves her from the Demogorgon, and slowly, as they fight side by side through every new horror Hawkins throws at them, trust begins to replace resentment. Somewhere in the chaos, that trust turns into something deeper-love growing quietly between near-death experiences and impossible odds. As the danger escalates, so does their bond, until Steve becomes more than just her partner in survival. He becomes the person she falls in love with, and the one she realizes she can't imagine losing when Hawkins inevitably tries to take everything from her.Complete
