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 :)

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
I always have - Y/n x Steve Harrington
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. ! The characters and the original story do not belong to me, property of Netflix and The Duffer Brothers.! 78/1,28K on #season3 (07/08/22)Complete

Soulmates | Stranger Things Trio
OC x ST Trio (Eddie, Steve, Billy) Ilayda (OC) moves to Hawkins for her last highschool semester. She quickly friends the Hawkins outcasts, Hellfire Club. Nancy and Robin stay by her side as Ilayda accustomed to this new, small town. And with this new chapter of Ilayda's life, her eyes fall onto Billy Hargrove, Steve Harrington, and strangely, Eddie Munson. Read to see how it plays out ;) AU where Joyce, El, Will, Jonathan never moved, and Hawkins is normal after szn 3. El didn't lose her powers, so Billy didn't have to sacrifice himself, so he is alive too. The lore of Stranger Things isn't really used in this story, more so the characters, time frame, and settings. Also, aspects of Turkish culture and language will be used throughout the story for my OC, I translate sometimes :) Warning: Cursing and Slight Sexual Content Note: Stranger Things is not my creation! The Duffer Brothers/Netflix own it, I'm just writing a fanfic abt it with a twist on it.Complete
