It's been a year since El closed the gate and all Alex Byers wants is a normal summer. Working with her best friends at Scoops Ahoy, going on dates maybe, enjoying time with her brothers, and trying to grab at all life has to offer. But the nightmares always come back and she can't run from them. Some weird things start to happen all over Hawkins, and people act funny. Alex gets thrown back into saving the world with her friends. She finds out the mysteries of the mall but also the mysteries within her heart and where her affections and loyalties really lie.

*This story is set at the beginning of Season 3 of Stranger Things. There will be some references to the first two seasons at times. I do not own the ST characters or plot lines. Only my character and her storyline are both mine. I have changed up some of the plot and dialogue to include my character. It is a slow burn but bear with me and I hope you enjoy :)All Rights Reserved

Through The Strangest Things || Steve Harrington x Reader by yourlocalmaxmayfield

"It was only one thing. Only one little thing that happened to make me fall in love with you. One simple thing, and I don't understand how that's possible." "It only takes one flame to start a fire." +*+*+ The stranger things are happening in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. (Y/N) Byers has been unwillingly sucked into the dark secrets the town holds. She has been able to handle working with Jonathan and Nancy while simultaneously keeping a group of 12-year-olds in check, and handling the trauma of losing her younger brother, Will Byers. But when Will comes back home, Dustin forms an unexpected alliance with Steve Harrington. And when Steve becomes part of the mix, everything gets weird. Seasons 1-4 Season 1: ✅ Season 2: ✅ Season 3: ✍️ Season 4: ❌ When I have finished season 4, I will mark it as completed until season 5 comes out. *All other rights go to the creators of Stranger Things. I only own the character (Y/N) Byers and what she says and does, as well as how the other characters interact with her.*

I always have - Y/n x Steve Harrington by VicBoreale

second part of the fanfic It's been a few months since Y/n got introduced to the Upside Down and fought the demodogs. When she thought the rest of the year would be as interesting, it actually ended up being normal. Steve has been ignoring her for whatever reason and she still hanged out with Nancy. The new mall opening at the beginning of summer gave everyone a good distraction, but also created drama. Why is Steve ignoring her? What if Starcourt was hiding something? Y/n will discover many things and meet new people, allowing her to fully discover the truth, but what if it was worse than they all though? New adventures, new Hawkins. !

Natural 20- Eddie Munson x Y/N by ObiWanJenobi

Y/N Henderson lived a secluded and plain sailing life, but when your younger brother Dustin blackmails you into joining a D&D game with none other than Eddie Munson, it turns your whole world...upside down... *Femme reader* I keep Y/N image descriptions as vague as possible, the most will be how they are dressed if it's relevant to the storyline and any description of 'perfect' means it's how Eddie sees you, not societies standard of perfection. *Story fits with season 4 but gives Eddie the ending he deserves and the one I think we all hope he gets in season 5* **This story really was a labour of love so I appreciate all the views, votes and comments from all of you. Even as a D&D player a lot of research went into this so knowing how many of you love the story really makes me happy :)**

'tis the damn season by sunshinetemptress14

When Lauren Byers returns to Hawkins, moving back in with her younger brothers and ex-step mom, she's not sure what to expect. She's missed a lot since living with her dad, and had no idea that her family had gotten so cozy with Steve Harrington, one of the only people in town she couldn't stand. When Dustin comes to her for help cracking a secret Russian code, she's forced to act civil around Steve despite her past with him. Unfortunately for her, the more time she spends around him, the more he seems to grow on her. *Following the plot of Stranger Things, starting at season 3 finishing through season 4 *Every chapter is titled with a Taylor Swift song for fun

Heartbroken love by Zunniva

This story is a Steve x oc fem. But at first it's mainly following the friendship of Eddie and the main girl. Steve is just mentioned at times. He becomes the leading man after the whole Vecna awfulness. I will make this into 3 parts; Part 1 Friends and enemies, Part 2 Death and destruction, Part 3 Heartbreak and Love Emma moves with her dad all the way from Sweden to Indiana in the United states. In the small town of Hawkins she's new to school and feels like a freak. She befriends the outgoing Eddie Munson and he becomes the best friend she could have ever dreamt of. She loves him like the brother she's never had. But seeing as something's weird in this small town she's dragged in to events leading to Eddie's death. Emma doesn't know how to deal with life anymore, how do you go on when your best friend in the whole world dies? Well, you could always fall in love with the one guy you swore you'd never ever be more than a hook-up to. The one who helps you cope with Eddie's horrible faith, because he's equally heartbroken over it. This takes place during and after the events of Vecna's curse. All characters involved in sexual activities are considered 18+ 🛑WARNINGS🛑 Strong language, mention of alcohol and drug use, sexual activities (from light to heavier smut), talk of bodysize, bullying, assault, broken bones, chest injuries, threatening language, namecalling, depression, mention of suicide, death and murder.

Tiger Eye - Sam (Stardew Valley) by meepmoop2002

I haven't written anything in years and started this as just a little fun treat for me, but I think it kinda is turning into something decent so I decided to post!! ** Stuck between pleasing her parents or honouring her inner child, Wren chose to re-spark her love of farming after her life fell apart. In the mits of rebuilding her identity, her idea of the future is challenged by a (over) confident, loud-mouthed trouble maker, forcing Wren to question what she is willing to work through to understand what is is to truly love and be loved. Sam had coasted through his life, never challenged, never objected. Sure, his constant pranks on the mayor and less then smooth love life has come with consequences, but nothing has ever been serious to him, and he liked it that way. Until he sees the farmer, and for the first time in his life, is faced with a challenge and long lasting consequences.

Before The End: Eddie Munson x Reader by Throwawayweirdo

Book 1. *First couple chapters of Book 2 out now.* Welcome to Hawkins. Your life changes when Robin, your only friend, helps get you out of a bad situation. She and Steve quickly become your best friends after you move in with your cousin, Dustin. The long haired, ever himself, fellow student and good friend of Dustin, catches your eye. Navigating life isn't as easy as you'd hope but your friends and the so called 'freak' you've fallen for help. Trigger warnings for abuse/child abuse. Drug & alcohol use. Strong language. Sex/sexual acts. Self-harm/talk of suicide. Assault. There are not warnings at the beginnings of chapters. Some themes are rather dark and may be triggering - hence the warnings here. POV story, Y/N format. Slow burn, kinda. Heavy relationship focus leading up to the events in season 4. Not everything will fit with the show but it's a fiction anyway so *shrug* All Stranger Things characters obviously belong to the incredible Duffer Brothers. First story/book, whatever you want to call it, I've ever written. Typing this all up on my phone so please forgive me if the format is weird, I don't know how it varies across devices. This has turned out much more dramatic than I set out for. It's been fun to write though and a little therapeutic as quite a bit of the events stem from my own life. Hope you enjoy and if not, you don't have to read it.

Strawberry Ice Cream [steddie] by lonelykeys

⚠️This story is now being edited/extended on ao3 under the same name⚠️ Steve Harrington, a recent high school graduate who didn't get into college, is now being forced by his father to work in the brand-new Starcourt Mall, at Scoops Ahoy, an ice cream parlor. Steve was a bit of a charmer in high school, and he isn't going to let a recent breakup or this job stop him from getting a date. Only problem is, none of the girls he asks says yes. Just when Steve's convinced the free samples and failed attempts are all he'll get this summer, someone new walks into Scoops. And it changes everything. Oh, and something about evil Russian spies? 43k+ words *I do not own Stranger Things or any of the characters*

Flipped: A Steve Harrington Enemies to Lovers by driftwillow

"You've got a mean mouth and you're the rudest girl I've ever met." "God, I- you just- you just... drive me insane, and I hate you! I really hate you, Steve Harrington!" "Oh, you hate me? We're throwing that word around now? Okay, sweetheart, get this: I hate you too. So the feeling's mutual!" _________________________________________ Most people adore Steve Harrington, king of Hawkins High. However most people, according to Y/N, are stupid for ever falling for this act. Very few people have had chance to get close to Y/N since she moved into town and not that many actually want to get to know her better either - weird, mean, rude, and that's Steve Harrington being nice about her. But something strange is about to happen in Hawkins that will force the pair together, and if they hope to survive, they'd better put their differences aside. From unlikely circumstances, friendship will bloom, and what was once thought to be hatred may well get flipped upside-down. _________________________________________ Stranger Things rewrite that incorporates reader into the show. Slow burn enemies to lovers with eventual smut. Also on my AO3.
