~hawkins hums with strange things, but nothing resonates louder than him.~
When Stephanie Hampton is dragged from New York to the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, the last thing she expects is to stand out. With her cousin Dustin eager to show her around, she braces herself for awkward introductions, small town boredom, and the constant reminder that she doesn't belong here. But Hawkins is far from ordinary, and between the lingering stares of Steve Harrington, the cracks in Nancy Wheeler's perfect world, and whispers of things she can't yet explain, Stephanie quickly learns that some places hum with secrets. Ones that resonate louder the closer you get.
This story begins at the start of season two! And I will be continuing into seasons 3,4 and soon 5!!

I wasn't supposed to be in the story. Not the kind with monsters, gates, or government labs. "This little fairy freak," he said, gesturing toward me like I was something stuck to his shoe. "Always floating around in her weird outfits, acting all sweet and innocent-like she doesn't watch people making out from bathroom cracks like a total psycho." I froze. The air left my lungs. "Steve," Nancy whispered sharply beside him, "it was the girl's bathroom." But he wasn't listening. "She's always staring," he continued. "Like we're all in some sad little movie she made up in her head. Always acting like she's not dying for attention." I was just the girl with too-soft sweaters and panic attacks. The one who watched people fall in love from the sidelines. The one who crushed silently on Steve Harrington while he kissed other girls in haunted high school bathrooms. Then Will Byers went missing. And suddenly I was helping Nancy reload a shotgun. Hiding from the Demogorgon on rooftops. Whispering to Dustin like I was his big sister. Running. Fighting. Surviving. And somewhere in between the broken cameras, the Halloween parties, the Upside Down... Steve started looking at me like I was in the story too.

JOIN a town full of secrets, shadows... and senior year. Marceline Turner has mastered the art of going unnoticed. She blends in, keeps her head down, and keeps her guard up. Between her crumbling home life, an overprotective older brother, and a town that practically hums with buried tension, she's got enough to juggle without worrying about monsters-or the high school kind, either. But then things start to shift. Nancy Wheeler throws a match on her perfect image. Steve Harrington-hair god, heartbreak disaster-keeps showing up with that stupid look in his eyes. And Billy Hargrove? The new guy is an asshole, and a threat (according to Steve). Hawkins feels like it's holding its breath, and Marce is no longer sure she wants to stay invisible. Because when the quiet gets loud in Hawkins... It usually means something's coming through.
