It's Linda here, 

You may not know my story, but I'm here to tell it in a way that might shock you. I've lived in Hawkins, Indiana, before, but in a hidden gem where many people didn't know I existed. My parents did not have the best relationship, which led to the decision to divorce. I had to say goodbye to my home of Hawkins and left with my mom to start a new life in Chicago, where I've been living for the past 18 months.


Until recently, when I received an anonymous phone call stating that my father was in critical condition. He needed his daughter by his side.... as far as I know, I was his only daughter, but then I  remembered all the letters my father wrote to me about having a new family in Hawkins, and I should meet my half-sister Robin who he tells stories to about me all the time. Without hesitation, I said the news about Dad to Mom, and she wasn't pleased; as much as he was my father, she never denied the feeling of hatred and betrayal that he caused her when they were together, and she never wanted to see him again. Still, I decided to go to say my goodbyes if need be.

DARK ROMANCE WARNING In a small town named Hawkins, stood an eerie lab. In that lab, held one of the most dangerous test subjects to come across. Isolation. Torture. Over time, he stood still in front of a mirror, practicing a smile that could never reach the eye. Patience. Time. The clock is ticking, and it's almost near. She had made the mistake of accepting a small job interview as a nurse. A naive nurse, indeed. But unfortunately, she was too curious in the parts of the job Brenner held from her. Secrets. Imprisonment. They crossed paths that first day. A pining obsession settled down in the depths of his mind. Her sweet smile too captivating to ignore, showing obvious unawareness. And he couldn't wait to destroy it. Hello again, my Henry lovers! This little short story has been settled in my mind for WEEKS. It's not going to be as long as my other books are, and it's not going to be as sweet either 👀 I want to warn EVERYONE when I say that this book is going to be on the dark side. I know I normally make Henry's characters on the sweeter side, but this one is going to be anything but. I'm going to write him in the way that I think he would actually be. WARNING This book will have EXPLICIT sexual content, language, blood, murder, torture, past sexual abuse (don't worry, I won't go into too much detail on it) HEED THESE WARNINGS This book will not be like my others, so please, if anything of the above bothers you, do not continue. I will put trigger warnings on chapters that mention sexual abuse, as I know that is very difficult to read. I DO NOT own any of the stranger things characters, or storyline that resembles the show. I hope you enjoy my dark mind

"Breathing. Something I've always known how to do, yet sometimes it seems impossible. I sat in the passenger seat of a red convertible Mustang. The car belonged to my... would you call him my owner? I sat with my knees pulled up to my chest, I put my hand on the window of the car, wiping away some of the fog. My father and the guy who had just bought me, shook hands, finalizing the arrangement, as they stood on our front porch... or could you even call it that? The rain came down making it hard to see. Yes, breathing. Everyone knows how to do it, but it's normal for someone to forget how to, right? Right now, I felt as if my lungs had been ripped from my chest... or was that just my heart? My buyer ran from the porch, covering his head with his jacket. He stepped into his Mustang, and pulled it into reverse. Then with a simple movement, he turned the vehicle around and headed down the drive. I watched as my whole world slipped away." -Can't Buy Me Love *************************************** They were best friends, he was rich, she lived in a trailer.

But she wants nothing more than to be with her childhood love. Will he save her from her fate or will she get sold off to some loaded obnoxious stranger? She has secrets, he has secrets, a shadow lurks in the darkness watching her... can love even grow from that? ****** *Some mature content: Abuse and mature language*
Do You Believe in Magic? (Jim Hopper Fanfiction) by Song_Wolf_Lover69
63 parts Ongoing Mature
"Do You Believe in Magic?" That question has burned in Jim Hopper's mind since the day when she came into his life. Just when things were starting to become normal for Jim, after 4 years of living back home, strange things begins to happen on that November in 1983. Will has gone missing. Jim discovered the secrets that Hawkins Lab held. But he never expected...to fall in love. Amelia Holloway, the new girl of Hawkins, wasn't looking for adventure. Adventure always seems to find her. When Amelia decided to explore where to sow her roots, she had a deep feeling that she belonged in Hawkins. She was a woman who always trusted her feelings, they never let her down. For years, she dreamed of opening her own bakery. What more can you ask for when starting in a small town like Hawkins? Especially, when a town has a big grizzly bear for a sheriff. After meeting Jim Hopper, she made it her business to crack that shell of his and, hopefully, open his heart that's buried under that painful past he hides in his eyes. But would he accept her darkest secret she carries? This book will contain scenes from seasons 1- 4 and 5 when they finally premiere it. I heard a rumor that Stranger Things will keep running for 6 seasons :D Plus this book contains foul language, violence, creature feature, and sexual content/scenes.
