[This story includes topics of anxiety and the loss of close family members. If that is triggering for you, please do not read. Your mental and emotional health needs to come first🙌]
You were best friends with Steve Harrington... Until you weren't. A close friendship starting all the way back in 4th grade ended in selfishness when Steve decides that being with the cool kids is more important when your first year of high school starts. Now that you two are in 11th grade, you still think about him. You find it hard to hate him, but you want to so badly. Your emotions are tested when out of the blue, he takes the seat in front of you at lunch.
(Just to be clear, I will be taking some elements that were in the show, out. This includes Nancy's and Steve's full relationship. I find it annoying that in some self inserts, you're basically a rebound. So I hope that doesn't bother anyone. Please enjoy!)

// HEAD OVER HEELS //
Steve Harrington has made a lot of mistakes. He's said the wrong things at the worst times, has tried to be the one everyone wants him to be. But he's spent too long pretending to be someone he's not: the confident guy, the heartbreaker, the one who has it all together. But nothing has thrown him off balance like Lauren Henderson. She's guarded, unpredictable, and so painfully honest with him that it makes his chest ache. She calls him out when he's trying too hard, sees through every defense he puts up, and somehow manages to make him feel like he's not just the screwup with good hair. For someone who supposedly doesn't care, Lauren Henderson is the biggest people-pleaser. After her father left, she's always wanted to be better, so that maybe one day he'd actually want her. She's friendly, easy to talk to, always saying the right thing to get people to like her. That's all she can do. But deep down, she feels everything too deeply. Every emotion that teens feel on the daily is how Lauren feels, amplified by three thousand. So when she starts catching feelings for the boy who let her in, everything she built herself upon starts to crumble beneath her. They weren't supposed to care. Not like that at least, but feelings have a way of showing up uninvited. Especially in a town like Hawkins. Between parent problems, unsaid things, and the fear of being too much (or not enough), Lauren and Steve find themselves wrapped up in the supernatural chaos that hides between Hawkins' cracks. In this heart racing story, join Lauren and Steve on their adventures with alternate dimensions and monsters they never believed they'd ever have to face. Watch how even in the midst of it all, they find themselves doing exactly what they promised themselves they would never do. Falling head over heels for one another.

Love Grows: Steve Harrington's Girl Next Door
"God, you're fucking pretty," he blurts. "Funny," she utters. "Was gonna say the exact same thing about you." ________________________________________ Steve Harrington never really gave Rosemary much thought. Why would he? She was just the girl next door. The weird one. She was just the weird girl next door. Until she wasn't. Until she grew up and aged like a fine wine. ________________________________________ I just wanted to write something cute. Oneshot type fic that follows one of my Stranger Things OCs (NOT canon to my Flipped ST fic). Idk I just always had this headcanon that Steve had this weird but cute neighbour that he grew up with and would eventually fall for. Also always liked the idea of an adorable side-character that had more to her than meets the eye, and would join the main cast in S5. Let me know what you think!Complete
Surrender // Steve Harrington x Reader
She didn't know any better. Years of being raised by the evil entity that was once Henry Creel skewed her view of the world she once lived in. When Y/N is sent by him from the Upside Down to infiltrate those that so tediously continue to thwart his plans, she ends up finding something with someone that she never could have expected. Will she betray the one who raised her, who helped her escape that horrific lab? Or will she help him burn it all to the ground? One thing was for sure. There was only one thing that might change her mind... She just doesn't doesn't even know he exists... Yet. ( Set from the beginning of S4 once flashbacks cease but reader has been part of prior Vecna plans. Reader is over 18/older than El to fit with Steve without it being weird and has powers; is 002 in this story so assume the bullies in the show were 003 upwards. Long-ish intro with flashbacks to try and make it make sense lmfao but only a few chapters. Please read TW's before reading and let me know if there's anything I missed. TW: Violence, brainwashing, death, both mental and physical abuse, manipulation, smut in later chapters, fem!Reader, angst )Complete
𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 // 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝒙 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓
Moving into the small town of Hawkins during her sophomore year of high school wasn't a treat, but she didn't let it ruin her spirits too much. In fact, she even made some new friends along the way. Granted, most of them were in middle school and were major nerds, but that didn't bother her. She even joined in on some of their DnD campaigns whenever they invited her. It was fun, that was until one of the kids, Will, went missing. Along the way to finding him, (Y/N) befriends some people from her own school, including the goody-two-shoes Nancy Wheeler, and her boyfriend, Steve "The Hair" Harrington. She never really understood why everyone was obsessed with Steve. Or was everyone obsessed with his hair? She never knew. He could be a real asshole sometimes, too. But for whatever reason, she finds herself becoming closer with him the more they hang out. Maybe the king himself wasn't all too bad. - I've rewritten this book as I didn't like the plot all too much! You can find it on my profile titled "Waiting For A Girl Like You". This book is a slow-burn and will be going through the episodes of Stranger Things in order starting from season 1. SEASONS 1-3 FINISHED - LONG CHAPTERS -Complete
here comes the sun ✹ s. harrington fanfic
book 1 "Wait a minute, your sister plays Dungeons and Dragons?! But she's... cool!" "Why thank you, Lucas." "Quiet you," Dustin said to me, "I know, it makes absolutely no sense, like I understand Quantum Physics better than that , but you guys, I swear to you, she can help." "I also did skip 5th grade." I added like I was in a job interview. "Anyone can skip 5th grade!" Mike exclaimed. "Did you skip 5th grade?" Dustin fires off while Mike rolls his eyes. "Should we come up with a team name?" I asked. The three boys stared at me in their deadpanned faces. "Do we really need her?" Mike grumbled. "Perfect, I'll start brainstorming name ideas." ~ Steve Harrington x OC season 1Complete
A Chemical Reaction Called Love (Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader)
Being the daughter of Hawkins Middle School Science teacher, Scott Clarke, has its perks, constantly having to explain things to 'King' Steve Harrington wasn't necessarily one of them but it was something you had gotten used to, he might not be the brightest guy but at least he tried, and you appreciated that. You had big plans for the future, but they might be forced to change thanks to a phone call... This fanfic will start from Season 1 of Stranger Things, so all the respective rights go to the Duffer Brothers and other writers, but the character of Y/n, as well as the non-canon storyline change rights, goes to me. Also, English isn't my first language so feel free to let me know if I ever make a spelling or grammar mistake. -Sensitive topics might be brought up so reader discretion is advised -Obviously Stranger Things spoilers -Reader uses she/her pronouns Ratings: #1 in steveharrington #1 in steveharringtonfafic #1 in steveharringtonxreader #1 in strangerthings1
