Bound by Shadows | Will Byers x Reader (Fem)
Some memories can't be buried. Some connections can't be broken. Y/N doesn't remember much before Hawkins - just flashes of something darker. But when strange things start happening around her, and an old shadow begins to stir beneath the town, she finds herself pulled into a world she never asked to be part of. Then there's Will Byers - quiet, kind, and haunted. Somehow, he's the only one who seems to understand what she's going through. And maybe, just maybe, she understands him too. Together, they'll uncover secrets neither of them saw coming - about their town, themselves, and the invisible thread tying them together. ------------------------------- Will byers x Fem reader (slow burn!!)

The Fate of Hawkins; A Stranger Things Fanfiction
Y/n L/n has lived in Hawkins, Indiana her entire life, where nothing ever seemed to happen-until Will Byers disappears and the town is pulled into something far darker than anyone could have imagined. What begins as a missing person case quickly spirals into a nightmare of monsters and government secrets: the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, underground Russian operations, and Vecna himself, each threat more devastating than the last. Thrust into this hidden world alongside unlikely allies, Y/n is forced to adapt quickly, proving herself intelligent under pressure and brave when it matters most. But nothing prepares her for Steve Harrington. At first, he is everything she can't stand-arrogant, reckless, and the kind of popular jerk she learned to avoid. That changes the night he saves her from the Demogorgon, and slowly, as they fight side by side through every new horror Hawkins throws at them, trust begins to replace resentment. Somewhere in the chaos, that trust turns into something deeper-love growing quietly between near-death experiences and impossible odds. As the danger escalates, so does their bond, until Steve becomes more than just her partner in survival. He becomes the person she falls in love with, and the one she realizes she can't imagine losing when Hawkins inevitably tries to take everything from her.Complete

A Chemical Reaction Called Love (Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader)
Being the daughter of Hawkins Middle School Science teacher, Scott Clarke, has its perks, constantly having to explain things to 'King' Steve Harrington wasn't necessarily one of them but it was something you had gotten used to, he might not be the brightest guy but at least he tried, and you appreciated that. You had big plans for the future, but they might be forced to change thanks to a phone call... This fanfic will start from Season 1 of Stranger Things, so all the respective rights go to the Duffer Brothers and other writers, but the character of Y/n, as well as the non-canon storyline change rights, goes to me. Also, English isn't my first language so feel free to let me know if I ever make a spelling or grammar mistake. -Sensitive topics might be brought up so reader discretion is advised -Obviously Stranger Things spoilers -Reader uses she/her pronouns Ratings: #1 in steveharrington #1 in steveharringtonfafic #1 in steveharringtonxreader #1 in strangerthings1
