After losing the man who had finally managed to spark something in Steve's heart, Steve has been unable to sleep without seeing visions of horrible things. One night things change though when a red-eyed creature taps at his window and whispers a familiar phrase.
Warnings:
This story will contain some gore, I'll add more warnings as anything else pops up. There will also possibly be violence, talk about d3@th, light sexual references. There is talk of depression, anxiety, nightmares.
Time period: This story takes place nine months after season 4 (so that would be late December) but I forgot to do the math while writing it until now so forgive me for that pls :(.
For the sake of keeping the characters in Hawkins I'm pretending the "earthquake" barely affected much of the town, the Upside Down isn't taking over as much as it is at the end of the show.

On the night of November 6th, 1983... everything changed. When a kid in Hawkins Lab tore open a doorway to another world. When a boy was dragged into the dark by a monster. When two test subjects made their desperate escape. When a lost girl finally learned the truth about where she came from. Everything changed. And as kids, teens, parents, and police chiefs are thrown into a storm of terror, trauma, and love, they'll have to: Fight like a mother. Love like it's their last day. Believe like a little kid. Bleed like the brave. And run like hell. Because only then- when the world is upside down, when hope is hanging by a thread- they'll discover that in Hawkins... the winner takes it all. This fic will include multiple OC's (original characters) who will go through different traumatic experiences and difficulties while playing their role in the stranger things universe. All will fall in love, all will overcome their struggles, all will fight for right, but not all will see the end of it.

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

We're set in the 80's so clearly the internet isn't really a thing yet and Eddie Munson can't figure out why his mind sometimes goes blank and he feels young. He thinks it's wrong and just another way of god to punish him for being who he is. But then, a guy he barely knew apart from occasional bullying takes him in, and Eddie finally figures out what being loved feels like. // or, this writer craves little eddie content and steddie is his OTP so here we have little!eddie and cg!steve this contains age regression, which is an sfw coping mechanism. if you don't want to read about it, don't leave hate, just leave the book and me be. warnings!! - traumatic events (like, it's still stranger things) - period typical homophobia - use of curse words, mature themes (drvgs, mvrder, childhood abvse, etc) mostly off plot fluff, but events from season 4 still happenComplete
Lovers lake - Eddie Munson X trans masc reader
It is 7 AM in the morning and Steve Harrington is currently shaking his younger brother Y/N awake. "come on Y/N wake up, you cant be late" Steve says while waking his brother. Y/N opens his eyes slowly, clearly annoyed at his brother. He sits up in his bed and rubs his eyes and looks at Steve with tired, irritated eyes. "No, Y/N you are going to school today. No more skipping." Steve says and walks out of his room. "I'll wait for you outside in the car." This is a Eddie Munson X Y/N story that takes place during stranger things season 4 This story has violence, sexuality and strong language, do not read if you are uncomfortable by these things. I know that Stranger things takes place during the 80s and that it wasn't very LGBTQ+ friendly during that time and that being trans wasn't as easy as it is today (as a trans man myself I am well aware that it still isn't easy at all but compared to the 80s it is easier) so I am sorry if it isn't super realistic, but the story is stranger things based either way so it cant really be realistic anyway.Complete

Coping || STEDDIE
Tw: 5 stages of grief but really really intense (i think) i'm not sure what else i don't really have this planned out i'm just kinda going with it a lot of trauma and mental breakdowns gore and descriptions of pain and like immense grieving (bc obviously... after season 4 like what do u expect) in this story everyone is fine, except for phycological trauma obviously, except for Eddie. Max lives, the town doesn't shatter and crack, it's all fine and dandy. Eddie is dead, everyone is heartbroken and no one knows how to really cope with it. Especially Steve. But what if Eddie isn't... actually dead. AUTHORS NOTE: spam my comments, every single one of ur comments are so hilarious to me and i love reading them i wish u guys commented more bc i LOVE IT SM.
