November 7th, 1983
Hawkins, Indiana

Addison Taylor wakes following a dream about the day she met Steve Harrington even though the two of them haven't spoken for approximately eight-hundred and twenty-three days. Their friendship hasn't existed for two years and he still manages to haunt her memories. Her morning further unravels as she realizes something much more sinister is going on with the people that she loves and in this town as a whole.

Will the horrors of the Upside Down be the thing that finally brings Steve back to her? Will the trauma of everything they've gone through and are continuing to go through tear her, her friends, and family down with it? Will Addison and Steve find the love they have always tried to earn from other people in each other?

A story about healing, love, friendship, and perseverance.

In the seemingly quiet town of Hawkins, Indiana, life is far from ordinary. Steve Harrington, once the popular high school heartthrob, now finds himself in a new role: protector and guardian of his seven-year-old sister, Emily. Emily Harrington is a bright, inquisitive girl with a penchant for adventure and a fearless spirit that often lands her in the midst of trouble. Steve, juggling his job at the local video store and his responsibilities to his friends, must also keep a watchful eye on Emily. The bond between the siblings is strong, forged through shared experiences and the trials of growing up in a town plagued by supernatural occurrences. Emily looks up to Steve, admiring his bravery and determination, while Steve is fiercely protective of his little sister, willing to do anything to keep her safe. As the shadow of the Upside Down looms once more over Hawkins, the Harrington siblings find themselves drawn into the mystery. Emily's curiosity leads her to uncover clues that even the older kids have missed, and her unique perspective proves invaluable. Together, they face terrifying creatures, unravel government conspiracies, and navigate the complexities of their own family dynamics. Steve's friends, including Dustin, Lucas, and Max, quickly embrace Emily as one of their own, forming a tight-knit group determined to protect their town. Emily, with her sharp mind and unyielding courage, becomes an unexpected but crucial member of the team. Through their adventures, Steve learns that being a hero isn't just about fighting monsters-it's about being there for the people you love, no matter what. DISCLAIMER: I don't own any characters, only, and I repeat, only Emily and her influence in the story.

Flipped: A Steve Harrington Enemies to Lovers by driftwillow
44 parts Ongoing Mature
"You've got a mean mouth and you're the rudest girl I've ever met." "God, I- you just- you just... drive me insane, and I hate you! I really hate you, Steve Harrington!" "Oh, you hate me? We're throwing that word around now? Okay, sweetheart, get this: I hate you too. So the feeling's mutual!" _________________________________________ Most people adore Steve Harrington, king of Hawkins High. However most people, according to Y/N, are stupid for ever falling for this act. Very few people have had chance to get close to Y/N since she moved into town and not that many actually want to get to know her better either - weird, mean, rude, and that's Steve Harrington being nice about her. But something strange is about to happen in Hawkins that will force the pair together, and if they hope to survive, they'd better put their differences aside. From unlikely circumstances, friendship will bloom, and what was once thought to be hatred may well get flipped upside-down. _________________________________________ Stranger Things rewrite that incorporates reader into the show. Slow burn enemies to lovers with eventual smut. Also on my AO3.

1 part Complete Mature
Steve has a crush...on Eddie. It's been lingering in his blood for 5 years now. Ever since they fought in the Upside down together. 5 years of never forgetting those chocholate brown eyes, those sexy sinewy arms or those hands... It's in his system, all the time and he can't quit those thoughts. But they haven't spoken in 5 years, Steve is all alone in Hawkins now. Everyone else has left. So why not go see Robin and Nancy when he's off from work for spring break? There's nothing to lose...or win from it. Just a trip to see old friends... 🔥This does have some pretty graphic smut in it but it takes a while between those parts. I got kinda carried away with the story at large.🔥 🛑WARNINGS🛑 Strong language, alcohol use, mention of drugs, graphic sexual activities (M/M in case you're sensitive to that), mention of homophobic slurs used against characters. I hope you enjoy this, been in my mind for a while so needed to get it out. XoXo Jennie
