Spring is just beginning to take hold, and with the first warm days come new meetings and quiet sparks of feeling.
Max is a girl with bright ginger hair, like a daisy - gentle, warm, and full of light, yet carrying the scars of a past where trust was broken.
Lucas - guarded and distant - has his own reasons for keeping people at arm's length, shaped by family problems and unspoken fears.
The story takes place in modern times, among universities, friends, long walks, and ordinary days that slowly turn meaningful.
When their paths cross, a soft light appears between them - fragile, cautious, but real. Surrounded by friends, they learn to laugh, argue, support one another, and trust again.
"Light Between Us" is a story about spring, friendship, first feelings, and hope - about how love can grow after pain, and how even the most closed hearts can learn to open, step by step.

Follow You Home
In this quiet town, Max Mayfield arrived hoping to disappear into a new life, leaving behind the horrible past she had in California. It didn't matter if she had to live in a cramped trailer with her mom and little brother, as long as they were far away from it all. But life was harsh to her, it never let her catch a break. On top of that, the world was too small to truly escape. A piece of that past was here. He was here. And in this quiet town, Lucas Sinclair thought he had left the past completely behind. He had a perfect life that contrasted sharply with the one he had in posh California. It didn't matter if his house was smaller than their old dream house, as long as it was warm and safe. But life had a way of surprising him in ways he never expected. The world was too small for him to avoid his past forever. A piece of that past was here. She was here. They didn't talk. They didn't reconnect. They avoided each other as if the past had never happened. As they were strangers. She had tried, really. To cover the guilt. And he had tried, honestly. To forget the pain. Until Hawkins started to unravel. Girls began to go missing, and Max and Lucas were pulled into the same dangerous orbit.
The Way We Were
Three thousand miles. Two different lives. One unfinished story. It's 2026, and the "Party" of Hawkins, Indiana, has grown up and scattered. Lucas Sinclair is a rising star at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine, balancing a grueling neuroscience load with a commitment to his community. Max Mayfield is a fiery, skateboarding psychology major at UC Berkeley, navigating the West Coast with a vintage Mustang and a heart she keeps under heavy lock and key. They haven't seen each other in years. Their only connection is a chaotic group chat where they trade insults like they're a sport. To their friends, it's a hilarious routine; to Lucas and Max, it's the only way to hide the fact that they are still haunted by the ghosts of their past. But when a spring break reunion forces them back into the same zip code, the bickering turns into something far more dangerous. In a world of late-night texts, collegiate pressure, and the struggle to find themselves outside of the trauma that bonded them, Lucas and Max must decide if they are better off apart-or if the only person who truly knows them is the one they've been pushing away. A story of romance, self-discovery, and the messy, spicy reality of growing up.Complete
Out of Key
A few months after the Stranger Things finale, Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink are officially navigating the dizzying heights of independent stardom. Caleb is thriving as a fashion icon and preparing for a dark new thriller, all while channeling his life into a highly anticipated debut album. Sadie is balancing a massive breakout Marvel role with her first credit as an executive producer. To the public eye-and their millions of followers-they've successfully moved on, occupying different corners of the industry and dating other notable stars, including Sadie's high-profile relationship with co-star Noah Jupe. But behind the curated Instagram feeds, paparazzi snapshots, and industry buzz lies a complicated, years-long history of sharp banter, intense mutual attraction, and agonizingly missed opportunities. They've perfected the facade of being "just friends," but Caleb's new tracklist tells a different story-one that their inner circle sees right through. Told over a few chapters blending sharp humor, modern digital culture, and deep romantic tension, the careful boundaries they've built are put to the ultimate test when Caleb surprises Sadie at her project. In the quiet space behind the scenes, away from the flashbulbs and the cameras, the old sparks don't just resurface-they demand a confession.Complete
The Time in Between | Lucas x Max
The war is over. Henry is a memory, and Hawkins is rebuilding over the cracks of the Earth. But for Max, the silence is the loudest thing in the room. Eleven is gone-vanished into the fray of the final battle-and the Party is left with a hole that no amount of time can fill. While the others look for answers, Max is just trying to look at the sun without seeing red. Supported by Lucas, who has become her steady hand and her quiet North Star, she begins the 18-month crawl toward graduation. It's a journey of relearning how to walk, how to breathe, and how to love a life that feels like it was stolen. Just as they finally learn to let go-just as the grief starts to feel like a scar instead of an open wound-the universe decides to speak back. Because in Hawkins, "gone" doesn't always mean "forever." or The eighteen months between Vecna's death and the party's graduation day. - This story is also being updated on Ao3.
