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

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.

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.

Something Else | Eddie Munson X Reader by Aeliagrey

[Y/N Henderson, 18 years old, fem] (COMPLETED: Book 2 is published too) Y/n Henderson moved to Hawkins to be closer to her cousin, Dustin. For the first 8 months, she struggled to balance trying to make friends and grappling with difficult memories from a dark past... But then she met Eddie. He was everything that she intended to avoid when moving to a new town, but he ended up being everything she needed. Unfortunately, eight days after they first met by chance in the woods next to Hawkins High, their worlds were turned upside down by the horrific death of a classmate. Both of them were now dragged into a strange new world full of supernatural occurrences and nightmares. What at first seemed to be a story of an innocent high school romance quickly became something else... (Set 8 days before the events of season 4) ~~~~~~~~~~ Word count = 156,400 Rankings: 1 in #st4 1 in #pov Started: 6/13/22 Front cover edited by myself

Surrender // Steve Harrington x Reader by jeremyvolkovswife

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 )

Who Says Three is a Crowd? (Under Construction) by Lithium80

**7/22/23 A/N: I will be updating this story slowly. It was one of my first stories and I feel it lacks a lot of development and needs some editing and revising. I will put a little star next to the updated chapters. I hope you enjoy! <3 Y/n has been dating Billy Hargrove for 2 years now but the schools freak Eddie Munson shows up and unexpectedly turns her life upside down. SMUT, language, slight drug use. Love triangle between y/n, Billy, and Eddie.

'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

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*

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.*
