Originally written on AO3 tells the story of Madeline Mayfield.
Madeline "Maddie" Mayfield never asked to be known as "Billy Hargrove's stepsister," but in Hawkins, that's all anyone seems to see. A sarcastic skater girl with fiery red hair and a sharp tongue, Maddie just walks through the halls blasting Tears for Fears on her Walkman. When her mom remarried and they moved to this small town, Maddie thought she could leave the drama behind. But fate had other plans.
Meeting Steve Harrington - the town's charming "new wave" heartthrob - isn't exactly love at first sight. They're "just friends," but when a weird creature that Dustin found threatens Hawkins, Maddie and Steve must team up to save the day. Her life? About to turn upside down.

It's been eight months since Billy Hargrove died, and while the world keeps spinning, Ana's still stuck in place-caught between grief, guilt, and the nagging sense that she should've done something more. In a haze of half-hearted routines and lingering what-ifs, she doesn't expect 𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐍 to come crashing back into her orbit. They were friends once-before everything got messy, before she stopped noticing him. But now, he's back, all loud laughter, inked skin, and that look in his eye like he remembers everything. What starts as a comfort quickly turns complicated. The line between friends and something more begins to blur, and Ana finds herself pulled between the past she can't let go of and the person she's becoming. Grief is messy. So is love. And maybe, so is healing. 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 "𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍 | 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐄" 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐍 ⚠️ 𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐗 𝐎𝐂 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 4/10/25 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃: 1/1/26Complete

𝓟𝓪𝓹𝓮𝓻 𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼 ━━━━ Steve Harrington
❝I WANT TO DRIVE AWAY WITH YOU I WANT YOUR COMPLICATIONS TO I WANT YOUR DREARY MONDAYS WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME BABY BOY❞ Sabrina Hargrove had always been the calm after the storm - or at least, she tried to be. Born just three minutes before her twin brother Billy, she was the light to his thunder. Where Billy burned hot with anger, Sabrina burned quietly, her fire hidden behind soft smiles and steady eyes. The two had grown up inseparable once, but years in the Hargrove household had a way of breaking even the closest bonds. Their mother, Laura, had been the only warmth in a home built on sharp words and slammed doors. When she died, something in Billy shattered completely - and Sabrina had been left trying to pick up pieces that refused to fit anymore. Neil Hargrove remarried quickly, bringing Susan and her young daughter Max into their lives. Billy resented them. However Sabrina didn't. Max reminded Sabrina of herself - stubborn, funny, full of fight. And from the moment she met her, Sabrina decided she'd protect her. Mostly from Neil's temper. From Billy's rage. From everything that came with being a Hargrove. When Neil's job dragged them across the country to a small, forgettable town called Hawkins, Indiana, Sabrina told herself she'd make it work. She'd keep Max safe, keep Billy calm, keep herself together. But Hawkins had a way of pulling people into its secrets - the kind that changed everything. And then there was Steve Harrington
