❝I never thought I'd be the kind of person who could fall for her best friend. But El isn't just any best friend - she's the girl who saved my life, who sees the real me even when I'm trying to hide.❞
After surviving Vecna's attack, Max Mayfield is done pretending. With a new haircut, a new style, and two amazing gay "big sisters" in Robin and Nancy, she's finally ready to be herself. There's just one problem: she's hopelessly falling for El.
Between dealing with her mom's stint in rehab, learning to accept herself, and trying not to completely freak out every time El smiles at her, Max is having one hell of a year. But maybe, just maybe, being different isn't the worst thing in the world. After all, normal is boring in Hawkins, right?
A story about finding yourself, falling in love, and realizing that sometimes the best families are the ones we choose.

Home - a byler story
March 30th, 1986. The day after the events of season 4. Will and Mike arrive back in Hawkins. Home. But home isn't the same anymore. Hawkins, their once beloved town, now looks more like an apocalyptic disaster. The two boys know it's them and the party who needs to save the town. However, this task proves to be difficult when new feelings emerge. Will, the kind, soft and self-sacrificial cleric, who is hopelessly devoted to his so called unrequited crush. And Mike, the loyal but sometimes rude, leader of the party, who's struggling with new emotions he doesn't know how to handle. How will they save the town? But most importantly, how is will going to be able to share a room with Mike, his life long best friend and crush? Authors note: Just to preface, English is not my first language so please be kind(: Also, now that Stranger things 5 is only days away I thought I would finally release the story I've been writing just for fun over the past 1,5-2 years! Hope you enjoy!Complete
Kickflip to My Heart - Max Mayfield | GxG
Max Mayfield was a storm-wild, unpredictable, impossible to ignore. She skated through Hawkins with scraped knees and sharp words, guarding herself with sarcasm and a defiant smirk. Iris Monroe was the opposite-quiet, small, always hiding behind her glasses and the safety of the Party. But beneath the shyness was a quiet kind of bravery, the kind that made her run toward danger when her friends needed her. They weren't supposed to fit together. Max was fire, and Iris was soft warmth. But somehow, between late-night arcade games, whispered confessions, and the looming shadows of the Upside Down, they found something real. Maybe even something worth fighting for. --- Season 2: COMPLETED ‼️ Season 3: COMPLETED ‼️ Season 4: COMPLETED ‼️ Season 5: ✍️ --- Max Mayfield x Fem Reader <3 I don't own any characters except for my OC and her story line. --- This is a gxg fanfic DONT BE A SILENT READER ‼️ Also my first ever fanfic so please bear with me !! I welcome all critiques🫶🏼
