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.

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

Moving into the small town of Hawkins during her sophomore year of high school wasn't a treat, but she didn't let it ruin her spirits too much. In fact, she even made some new friends along the way. Granted, most of them were in middle school and were major nerds, but that didn't bother her. She even joined in on some of their DnD campaigns whenever they invited her. It was fun, that was until one of the kids, Will, went missing. Along the way to finding him, (Y/N) befriends some people from her own school, including the goody-two-shoes Nancy Wheeler, and her boyfriend, Steve "The Hair" Harrington. She never really understood why everyone was obsessed with Steve. Or was everyone obsessed with his hair? She never knew. He could be a real asshole sometimes, too. But for whatever reason, she finds herself becoming closer with him the more they hang out. Maybe the king himself wasn't all too bad. - I've rewritten this book as I didn't like the plot all too much! You can find it on my profile titled "Waiting For A Girl Like You". This book is a slow-burn and will be going through the episodes of Stranger Things in order starting from season 1. SEASONS 1-3 FINISHED - LONG CHAPTERS -Complete
