When 17-year-old Y/N Wheeler returns to Hawkins, Indiana, after a two-year stint in California, she's not sure what to expect. Her family's decision to reunite and work through their issues brings Y/N back to the small town, where she'll finish her junior year alongside her siblings, Mike and Nancy.

As Y/N navigates the familiar yet strange landscape of Hawkins High, she's faced with the challenges of rebuilding relationships, forming new connections, and possibly even discovering romance. But will this year be a smooth ride, or will the complexities of small-town life and her own family dynamics throw her off course?

Join Y/N on her journey as she explores the intricacies of friendship, love, and self-discovery in the eerie and enchanting world of Hawkins.

*Important Notes:*

- This story is set in the Stranger Things universe created by the Duffer Brothers. While I have immense respect for their work, the original characters and storylines are their intellectual property.
- Some events, characterizations, and plot points may deviate from the original series to serve the narrative of this story.
- Strong language, mature themes, and occasional anachronisms (including modern songs) are included.
- Please be aware that this story has a semi-slow pace, allowing for character development and atmospheric buildup.

I hope you enjoy this Hawkins-inspired tale!

*Story Details:*

Stranger Things x Female Reader by Laylachan22

Welcome to Hawkins, Indiana! (This is a Stranger Things x Female Reader with you thrown in the mix. This is only season 1, so only little romance is involved with the kids. It will be a Mike x Female reader, but eventually things will be switching up!) **DISCLAIMER: I don't own Stranger Things, nor the characters/plot!!** *The only thing I DO own is (Y/n) and any interaction with (Y/n) are all my ideas* **ITS SUPER CLOSE TO THE SERIES. (I understand this is going to be scene for scene, but I am the writer, and this is what I enjoy)** You woke up one day in the adoption center with fuzzy memory. You can only remember bits and pieces of what happened when you got to the adoption center. However, when you woke up, you saw a boy looking at you curiously with a woman who seems to be his mother. His hair was super curly, and when he smiled, you realized he had missing teeth, and he dressed in the 80s. They adopted you, and your name is (Y/n) Henderson. You befriend Dustin Henderson, age 13, and you're 12. You go to Hawkins Middle school. It took a while for you to settle in and finally talk. They provided you a house with fresh clothes, food, and treated you like their own. You also befriend Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, and Lucas Sinclair and join their DnD group. Things start to get a little weird after Will disappears, and now you're sucked into an investigation with your friends, hoping to find what memory you've lost.

Abuse and mentions of SA along with drug use drinking and some smut. I don't write that a lot so will see if those are any good. Let Me know. Most is already written just need to get it on here. Please be nice no need to leave any negative comments. I am dyslexic and spelling is horrible. I'm still working on it. I will post trigger warning at the beginning. Also I embellish on the PTSD flash backs don't happen like how I present it in some chapters. It's more staring off Going through the memories then coming back. But there are different kind of flashbacks that people can have and i go over it a little. *Started in August 2022* *Finished December 16th 2022* -4/22/25 Going under heavy editing at the moment fixing some spelling and grammar mistakes and some parts that I didn't like how they were written so im just making it sounds better or adding more to it. Hoping to finish it soon. So im sorry if the beginning chapters are better then the later ones. -as of 6/3/25 up to chapter 9 has been heavily edited -as of 7/19/25 up to chapter 11 has been heavily edited.
