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.

Always The Babysitter; A Stranger Things Rewrite by harringtonstilinski

Steve Harrington and Olivia Henderson have been the best of friends since they could remember. It was a coincidence, really. They got put in the same first grade class. As time went on, they were practically joined at the hip!.. until they turned 12, and Olivia started babysitting her little brother, Dustin, and his best friends, Mike Wheeler, Will Byers and Lucas Sinclair. A crush on Steve developed for Olivia when they entered the 7th Grade at Hawkins Middle School. Olivia changed a little in high school. Her clothing got a little darker; black shirts and black Chuck Taylor's. She still wore her denim; she couldn't shy away from it, but she added more than just blue denim jeans. Skirts and shorts were added to her wardrobe. Steve became popular in High School and was dubbed the King of Hawkins High after the previous King graduated. Steve felt he had to live up to the expectations of being King, but that didn't really stop Olivia from hanging out with him when he wasn't around Tommy H. and Carol. Things started to change when he became attracted to Nancy Wheeler, Mike's older sister. He started ditched Olivia more for Nancy, and she understood, but didn't like it. The night Will Byers went missing, it put a few things into perspective for Olivia, like her protectiveness for Dustin grew, as well as her friendship with Will's older brother, Jonathan. Dustin, of course, dragged his sister into the craziness of Eleven, a mysterious girl with superpowers that showed up out of nowhere. Will Olivia eventually tell Steve about her feelings for him during their Upside Down adventures, or will she continue to keep it a secret?

Take on Me by maplemunson

Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson, even though defeating Vecna and saving the world together, have not become the best of friends. Steve hates to admit it, but he is drowning in jealousy over Dustin and Eddie's friendship. OR If Steve would let go of his ego, he might actually learn that Eddie is a great guy and maybe, just maybe, they could become something more than acquaintances. Maybe something even stronger than friends. Warning: This story contains strong language, drugs, alcohol, partying, sex, and touches on topics like abuse.

Love Grows: Steve Harrington's Girl Next Door by driftwillow

"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 of a thought. Why should he? She's just the weird girl next door. She was just the weird girl next door, until they grew up and she 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!

Sparks [Steddie] by justacheekyqueer

Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson!!! This fic is based off of Stranger Things but it doesn't follow the storyline of the show! It has different concepts and different plans to how things go. Some things are the same, some things are different. Everyone is the ages that they are in Season Four, for clarity. Here's a preview :) "Can I?" Steve asked, he didn't want to invade Eddie's personal space or make him uncomfortable like Dustin did earlier. To Steve's surprise, Eddie nodded. That was all it took for Steve to wrap his arms around Eddie's waist and hold him. For some reason, some really fucking strange reason, Eddie had sparks in his heart. If you read this, I hope you enjoy! TWS: Homophobia, Self Harm, Parental Abandonment, Near Death, Injury, Very Mild Smut

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 : _._._
