Disclaimer, this story may contain mature and triggering and mature themes like abuse (substance, physical, mental), swearing, sexual assault, homophobia, gore, mental disorders (I.E.D., bipolar, eating disorder, depression), sex, drugs (alcohol, cocaine, weed). Please be cautious of the triggers and please read if you are 18+! I do not own any of the rights to the characters mentioned in this story! All rights go to Netflix and the Duffer Brothers. 

With that being said, this story is about Billy's backstory and what his life was like in California. I will mention his past relationships with his mom, and what his relationship was like with his father Neil at the time. Just a warning, this will be a nonlinear storyline, so I will switch between time frames. One part I might write something from Billy's past, then the next I will write something from Billy's current time frame. (The current time frame will be around the start of season 2, where Billy had just moved to Hawkins since I think that is the perfect place to start!) I also added a bit of spice to the storyline, which is Eddie Munson. There will be a slight romance between the two males and hopefully you'll find their connection just as interesting :) Now, I will also add parts of season 3 where Billy gets flayed as the story progresses. There will be some canon and non canon aspects to this story so please be cautious of that too, because I still want to make this story super unique and fun.

DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT support nor condone Billy's racist actions towards Lucas or rude remarks from the series! Do NOT mistake my writing for being a "Billy Supporter"! That is not what I am here to do. I am here to write Billy's backstory because we didn't get to see too much of his past and I feel he had the potential to be a really good character if he had the right character development. If you have a problem with my story, just don't read it. :)

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.

But with such a complicated past will things work out or are they not meant to be. **************NOT IN STRANGE THINGS UNIVERSE *************** WARNING 18+ only as this coves some heavy stuff. 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.

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 happen
