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 Shadow and The Freak
Word Count: 45,135 Started on 9/1/2022 and finished on 2/3/2023 "I like the choice in color of your bra. Black is a favorite of mine." Her cheeks immediately turned red and she pulled her flannel across her soaked shirt. "Fuck you," The words came out through gritted teeth as embarrassment flooded within. "Take me on a date first and then I might think about it" He shot back with a smirk. Anna White and her mother had traveled to the next state over to leave behind the small town that they had only ever known as home, though despite their efforts the nightmares can only be outran for so long. While she is struggling to keep her own demons at bay, Anna has somehow found herself neck deep in Hawkins' lore with the town's freak and a group of friends who are the only ones who know about the upside down world and it's leader. Looks like her plan for ending her senior year as the "shadow on the wall" has been tossed out the window. Warnings: Mention/Topics of - Sexual Assault, Rape, Adult Actives, Drugs, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, Cursing, Violence and Light Choking. If any of this makes you uncomfortable then please do not read. (I only have one warning above a chapter which has the topics of SA and Rape because I feel as if I put any other warnings for the "spicy" scenes it will ruin the tension! Plus there is a lot of cursing so every chapter would basically have to have a warning and I am not about to do that, sorry about ya luck.) Side Note: I'm not THAT creative so this does heavily fallow the TV Show just incase this isn't your cup of tea. With that being said, I hope you enjoy this amature story. (Will update if I add any side stories as well!) Disclaimer - All copy rights go to the original creators of Stranger Things and to their respective partners. My only property within this story is the OCs, one of them being the main character and the others that filter in and out as side characters.Complete

Wasting Time | Eddie Munson X Reader
-----Currently Rewriting----- If you run into a wall of text, that's the old version. You're good up to chapter 30 💕 In a town that thrives on labels, one girl has always played the role expected of her: polite daughter, star dancer, perfect student. Eddie, once her closest friend, has become the town's cautionary tale-long hair, loud music, a family name people whisper about. Reunited by chance, they're forced to reckon with who they've become and the weight of everything they've lost. But the town isn't the only thing keeping them apart. Beneath the surface, a darker world is stirring-one that won't let either of them stay the same. ----------WARNING---------- This story is meant for 18+ audiences only. This story contains: Many mature topics. Including mentions of suicidal thoughts, unwanted sexual advances, etc. Copious amounts of profanity, sarcasm, and borderline edgy jokes. Descriptions of gore and violence. Some gushy, fluffy shit. Some very silly, likely cringey shit. Spoilers for Season 4 of Stranger Things. -------------------- This is an Eddie Munson fanfic.Complete
The Runaways - Book 1
***Based loosely off of Season 4.. some aspects may have changed*** Indigo Wheeler lacked all the grace, politeness and money that her cousin Nancy and her family possessed, in fact looking at her it was impossible to tell they were even related. A loner. A dork. A freak. Indigo had a lot of reasons not to fit in at Hawkins High, a lot of reasons as to why she had wanted to avoid the place all together. Life had never been kind to Indigo, people avoided her, they didn't see her, but there's always someone watching, even if at first you don't see them. *** All characters from Stranger things belong to the duffer brothers and Netflix *** This is Book 1, and will be slightly shorter than the following books due to using season 4 as base, the next few books will be completely my own work, and therefore longer!!! !!!Mentions of Drug use/underage drinking/mental health and writings of a sexual nature!!!Complete
