/ "and i have to speculate that god himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay" /
Michelle "Mickey" Hopper has a lot of problems. An alcoholic father ignoring the loss of his youngest daughter, her sister, Sarah. A manipulative boyfriend who keeps convincing her to come back to him. A drug addiction she's keeping from nearly everyone in her life. And now, her friend Barb is missing and she's being drawn into a world of vanished children and mysterious monsters.
The one constant in her life is her best friend. To everyone else, he's King Steve "the Hair" Harrington, the cold and popular playboy. But to Mickey, he is the shoulder she can always cry on, the ear always willing to listen, and the skip in her step always there to make her try new things. But can they ignore their growing feelings? Could they ever be more than friends?

However, Will is soon taken into custody by his father, Lonnie, and is taken far away from Hawkins. Mike must come to terms with his own emotions and find his best friend. Can they survive together or get burnt by love? I hate to say that I have stopped writing this fic of Wattpad and have moved to A03 where I am currently rewriting it. I would love it if you read my retelling there! I would like to say though, if you want an incomplete ending, the first part is finished here. My story on A03 is the same title and Authors Name as on here. Love to see you there! Edit--4/10/24 I had taken this fic down for a while and spontaneously decided to put it back up. I wrote this at a very different point in my life and am not necessarily planning on returning to this story on A03 or Wattpad, however, the first section is complete and has a semi-definitive ending. If you decide to read the rest (aka S2), you will just need to leave a lot to imagination. I am reuploading this tonight at 8:00PM EST. Thank you again to anyone that has enjoyed this fic and supported me at any point! !!!Trigger Warnings!!! -Suicidal Thoughts -Abuse -Very Aggressive Language and Derogatory terms -possibly will be gore-ish subjects (I mean duh it's stranger things lol) (If there are any others I will add them here) #3 in #Will Byers--8/6/22 #11 in #tag--10/1/22 #33 in #byler--10/1/22 Enjoy!!!Complete![mary.

mary. [ BILLY HARGROVE ]
Mary Henderson had never forgotten that first time the upside down hit Hawkins, Indiana. With her brother and his friends right in the middle of it. The day they thought it was all over was the day that Mary swore to protect her brother no matter what happened in the small town of Hawkins. Now, come Halloween time, everything was changing again. Billy Hargrove didn't really care for anyone but himself. He'd moved all the way from California to what he would call a "shit hole" in Indiana. He didn't know about the upside down in any way whatsoever. He didn't intend to find out either. When he met Mary, he acted the same way he always did to a girl his age. He flirted as much as he possibly could. In doing so, he strayed farther from winning over the older Henderson. But something changed one night. But did it change for the better or worse?

Eddie Munson X Reader
y/n and her sister eleven have had a pretty tough life. but out of the 2 y/n takes the prize for the sibling with the most trauma. Ever since the whole incident that happened last year her sister eleven moved to California with the Byers family and y/n didn't want to leave Hawkins, so now y/n's living with the wheelers. She's a senior now, she finally gets to graduate and try to have a normal last year of high school.... Well at least thats what she thinks. Since the first day of senior year she's had a crush on Eddie Munson the freak of Hawkins high. Everyone calls him a freak but she strongly disagrees. She doesn't care if he plays d&d or acts like a weirdo sometimes. She likes him for him not to mention the fact that he's stupid hot too. Despite the fact that they're from two different crowds. He's a nerd and a freak all girls run away from, she's popular and half the jocks on the basket ball team drool over her and would kill to get the chance to date her, it wont change the fact that she's still head over heals for Eddie "the freak" Munson. (hi everyone its me the writer full disclaimer I do not own any of the character mentioned other than y/n, the rest of them are owned by the duffer brothers. ) Heres your warning about some triggering or uncomfortable topics that might be mentioned: !smut, jealousy, drugs, drug use, violence, gore, alcohol, some trauma, and abuse! !discontinued!Complete![𝟎𝟎𝟕 [ 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/386136491-256-k813050.jpg)

«El just shut one door!» Lucas shouts «And Seven...» «It's "Evie", which stands for "sEVEn"» Mike corrected «More like: Khione, Goddess of snow and ice» Dustin commented - In which 007 manages to escape from Hawkins Lab with 011 and they never thought that their lives would be filled with drama, mysteries, adventure, and even... romance. The two girls have amazing psyche abilities, and meeting three boys who were only trying to find their missing friend really shift this whole running away thing to the next level. Years and years started to come and secrets, dark mysteries, and enigmas began to appear as the group grew older. The fate of the world is now on their shoulders.

Fly Me To The Moon (steve harrington x reader) (Under Hiatus, to be updated soon
steve harrington x FEM! reader all rights go to the duffer brothers for the main story (along with the script) and characters. I'm just some silly person who thinks writing is fun. Y/n, her story and such, is the only person in this fic who belongs to me. this will be updated when season 5 comes out, as the plot points in this book will be determined on how s5 turns out! in the meantime feel free to enjoy my story and i'll update it when the last season comes out, so for now, this book will be marked as complete (even though it isn't yet) :) "Steve Harrington you are a complete and utter idiot and doofus." "Hey but at least I'm your doofus, doofus." .... Y/N is Dustin Hendersons cousin, as well as the most treasured party member among the group consisting of Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas. When Will goes missing, you vow yourself that you will find him, no matter the cost. Little do you know that the cost may be putting aside your petty dislike towards Steve 'The King' Harrington in order to find him. Maybe developing a small crush towards him throughout your adventures and shared trauma while you're at it. ..... slow burn. SLOW. BURN. the slowest of burns you've EVER seen. ... maybe not. but still very slow burn, you won't fall in love at first sight that's for sure. just expect one helluva ride ;) s1 ✅ s2 ✅ s3 ✅ s4 in progress... #2 in steveharringtonxreader #2 in dustinhenderson #1 in hawkinsindiana started : 6.15.22 finished : _._._Complete

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
Uptown Girl︱Gareth Emerson x OC︱enemies to lovers
Victoria has lived in Hawkins her whole life. She's from one of the more wealthier families in town, which still isn't a lot, but enough to live comfortably. Of course, Gareth Emerson hates this about her. He never gave her a chance and just assumed she was stuck up and rude, which is actually far from the truth. She's not popular, but she's also not outcasted. Victoria tried to be nice to Gareth the first few times they interacted, but eventually she gave up and they've never liked each other since. So when she has an odd and unusual encounter with him, she's very confused, but then instead of just simply not liking him, she ends up hating him. Or she thinks she does. Now she's stuck on this emotional roller coaster, dealing with her home life with her dad always away on business trips and watching her occasionally trouble maker sister, and then suddenly when one of her sisters friends goes missing, she has to deal with the consequences of it with her expanded family. Also in this story you are Victoria, so if their is anything you want to change like outfits, or substitute in a different hair color or whatever, feel free to do so. I'm also thinking about making y/n stories because like yeah... Not in a cringey way I promise y'all 😭 ✭- S1 ✺- S2 ❉- S3 ✧- S4 ✸- S5 I do not claim the right to any of the characters other than Victoria, Charlie, and their dad. Those are my personal characters I have added into the story line. I have added some extra scenes that are only in this story but everything is else is just the show's plot line, characters, and characters dialogue.
