[ i'm terrible with descriptions, almost as bad as i am at writing but hey, we're here now. ] it's march 1986, a normal day for anyone.. anyone who wasn't in the loop with a close knit group that had battled great evils over the past few years in an unsuspecting small town named Hawkins. A dark underworld, red lightning, flashing and threatening to consume every last bit of life. A concert to remember for years to come. A death, rather a sacrifice for love. A second chance at life and graduation all while mourning, something you shouldn't have to do so young.

Love Grows: Steve Harrington's Girl Next Door by driftwillow
9 parts Complete Mature
"God, you're fucking pretty," he blurts. "Funny," she utters. "Was gonna say the exact same thing about you." ________________________________________ Steve Harrington never really gave Rosemary much thought. Why would he? She was just the girl next door. The weird one. She was just the weird girl next door. Until she wasn't. Until she grew up and aged like a fine wine. ________________________________________ I just wanted to write something cute. Oneshot type fic that follows one of my Stranger Things OCs (NOT canon to my Flipped ST fic). Idk I just always had this headcanon that Steve had this weird but cute neighbour that he grew up with and would eventually fall for. Also always liked the idea of an adorable side-character that had more to her than meets the eye, and would join the main cast in S5. Let me know what you think!

She longs for an adventure in her life like the Alice she pretends she's named after. When her brother Dustin's friend Will goes missing in November 1983, she gets what she wished for-and it's not quite as dreamy as she hoped. Dustin, Mike, and Lucas are running wild with a quiet girl with superpowers, Alice's best friend goes missing, and strange things happen left and right that have Alice questioning her sanity. Alice will do anything to protect her brother, learn about her past, and stay alive to go to the Snow Ball, even if it means fighting monsters and making allies in unexpected places. *** COVER BY: @dash-of-clarity !

steve harrington x FEM! reader all rights go to the duffer brothers for the main story (along with the script) and characters. I'm just some silly person who thinks writing is fun. Y/n, her story and such, is the only person in this fic who belongs to me. this will be updated when season 5 comes out, as the plot points in this book will be determined on how s5 turns out! in the meantime feel free to enjoy my story and i'll update it when the last season comes out, so for now, this book will be marked as complete (even though it isn't yet) :) "Steve Harrington you are a complete and utter idiot and doofus." "Hey but at least I'm your doofus, doofus." .... Y/N is Dustin Hendersons cousin, as well as the most treasured party member among the group consisting of Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas. When Will goes missing, you vow yourself that you will find him, no matter the cost. Little do you know that the cost may be putting aside your petty dislike towards Steve 'The King' Harrington in order to find him. Maybe developing a small crush towards him throughout your adventures and shared trauma while you're at it. ..... slow burn. SLOW. BURN. the slowest of burns you've EVER seen. ... maybe not. but still very slow burn, you won't fall in love at first sight that's for sure. just expect one helluva ride ;) s1 ✅ s2 ✅ s3 ✅ s4 in progress... #2 in steveharringtonxreader #2 in dustinhenderson #1 in hawkinsindiana started : 6.15.22 finished : _._._
Heartbroken love by Zunniva
3 parts Complete Mature
This story is a Steve x oc fem. But at first it's mainly following the friendship of Eddie and the main girl. Steve is just mentioned at times. He becomes the leading man after the whole Vecna awfulness. I will make this into 3 parts; Part 1 Friends and enemies, Part 2 Death and destruction, Part 3 Heartbreak and Love Emma moves with her dad all the way from Sweden to Indiana in the United states. In the small town of Hawkins she's new to school and feels like a freak. She befriends the outgoing Eddie Munson and he becomes the best friend she could have ever dreamt of. She loves him like the brother she's never had. But seeing as something's weird in this small town she's dragged in to events leading to Eddie's death. Emma doesn't know how to deal with life anymore, how do you go on when your best friend in the whole world dies? Well, you could always fall in love with the one guy you swore you'd never ever be more than a hook-up to. The one who helps you cope with Eddie's horrible faith, because he's equally heartbroken over it. This takes place during and after the events of Vecna's curse. All characters involved in sexual activities are considered 18+ 🛑WARNINGS🛑 Strong language, mention of alcohol and drug use, sexual activities (from light to heavier smut), talk of bodysize, bullying, assault, broken bones, chest injuries, threatening language, namecalling, depression, mention of suicide, death and murder.

Rose Vila Wheeler comes back to Hawkins after her stay in New York. She expects Hawkins to be back to normal again, and after only keeping close touch with Robin, she comes back to see everyone completely doing there own thing. She wonders what happened with everyone, maybe they're all just grown up? //"Rose will you please just play this game just this once. We're short one player and you're the only person that I know will play." "Mike. I'm not playing stupid dnd with you and your friends. I don't even know how to play." "We'll teach you! You can even get a cool shirt like this one!" I look at Dustin pointing to his shirt that says 'hellfire' with a red devil on it. I smile at his desperation. "Can't you and Dustin go bother Steve or something?" Dustin dips his head low and sucks in a sharp breath, "I mean we could but he'll be harder to convince because he doesn't really like Eddie." I choke on my spit. "Eddie as in Eddie Munson?"//
