In a Hawkins still reeling from the past, Steve Harrington finds himself trapped between a life he's expected to lead and the truth he's forced to hide. The weight of his secret and the ghost of a past love affair with Billy Hargrove threaten to unravel everything he knows. But some secrets are too dangerous to keep, and as the past claws its way back to the surface, the town's quiet is about to be shattered. Love and loss collide in a summer where the only thing more devastating than a secret is the truth, and not everyone will make it out alive.

Almost Us- A Steve Harrington VS Billy Hargrove Story
Anna Brown and her mother left Hilltrail, Kansas, in an unexpected hurry. Anna's mother chose Hawkins, Indiana, to reside in, considering their distant relatives, the Hendersons, were the only family that didn't let their wealth destroy them. Anna's a saint, but only in one category. She enjoys the risky shit like parties, sneaking out, friends, and most of all boys, but will she enjoy boys from Hawkins? Eddie Munson... the only sweet to certain people- boy. Billy Hargrove... the town's sex symbol. Steve Harrington... the town's biggest dick head-sweetheart. - A slow burn story- _______________________ After the assembly, I found him near the vending machines. He looked to be taking a break from the crowd, like me. "Steve," I said, expecting some sort of smile. He turned. Not a smile, not even a slight grin. Just surprise. "Hey," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. His feet were a mess, tangled with each other, like he was scared to face what happened to me. "Can we talk?" Something about his body language and the way he talked to me made me question every reason I thought he hadn't spoken to me. He looked around, like someone might catch him here. Like Tommy H. "Now?" My stomach turned inside out. For the week that had passed, something changed in him, something that I can't stand. He saved me and is now acting like he has power over me, like he dangled my life on a stick. "Yes, now." I crossed my arms, knowing my attitude doesn't faze him. He sighed and looked back at the vending machine. "Anna.... It's not the time." I blinked. "You carried me out of the police station, Steve. You saved me. And now it's like I-" "I said it's not the time." His voice was harder now. Even though he was looking at the vending machine, I could see in his eyes that he meant it. He stepped back. For a second, I thought he might come closer. Like those past times. Maybe explain. Anything. But he didn't.

To heal others, she'll have to heal herself first. When Juliet Mayfield's family move to Hawkins, she's prepared for awkward introductions and a new school - not the strange pull of a town that feels like it's been waiting for her. There's something off about this place, something familiar she can't name, and the harder she tries to blend in, the more the cracks start to show. Then there's Steve Harrington - too charming for his own good, too broken to admit it. They orbit each other through heartbreak, danger, and late-night confessions, both trying to figure out who they are in a world that keeps changing around them. But roots run deep in Hawkins. And once you dig too far, there's no turning back.

Steve Oneshots Cause I Can
Literally as the title implies. Some of the stories are ships and other aren't. Ships Include: Harringrove (Billy x Steve) Steddie (Eddie x Steve) Stonathan (Jonathan x Steve) And Steve x any random girl for plot reasons None of the oneshots are related to one another, unless they're stated as an additional part in the title; something I will most likely never do anyway. I have a rating system, and the beginning of each story will probably be an authors note and definitely a colored heart for how much I personally liked or disliked them. 💖= Really good, a favorite of mine ❤️= It was alright, nothing bad to say 💛= Definitely could have been better 🖤= Should probably not read it •_• There will also be a word count, but I constantly reread and edit my chapters even after publication, so it might change over time. This oneshot book is also discontinued as of now, so any chapters published this tike onward are it. But yeah, just Steve short stories cause he's my favorite from Stranger Things. And ofc I don't own Stranger Things or the characters. 👍Complete
