In the late summer of 1985, Hawkins is trying to feel normal again after the Starcourt Mall fire.
But when a strange signal is picked up deep in the mountains of Indiana-Dustin knows it can't be ignored.
With the rest of the group unable to leave town, the task falls to two people: Steve Harrington and Y/N.
Along the road, something shifts between Steve and Y/N-shared glances, quiet laughter during lunch stops, and feelings that linger in the silence. An overnight stay at a roadside motel changes everything.
Meanwhile, the signal keeps calling them forward. What will it lead them to-and will they be able to face it together? And when the journey ends, will they finally confront what's been growing between them, or let it fade into the static?

Falling into You
The Keerys have always been part of Ivy Harper's life. Growing up side by side meant shared summers at the lake house, loud family dinners, late-night swims, music drifting through open windows, and Joe somehow finding his way into every important moment of her life without either of them noticing. But life got busy.Tours, books, filming, work, distance. And for the first time in years, everyone finally manages to make time for six whole weeks together at the lake house. Six weeks of sunburnt shoulders, bonfires, teasing siblings, soft mornings on the dock, and feelings that have been buried for far too long. Because somewhere between growing up and growing apart, Ivy forgot one very important thing: Joe has always looked at her like she was the beginning and end of everything. ~ Disclaimer: This story is purely fictional and created for entertainment purposes only.

Close to Home
Some people become so intertwined with your life that losing them feels like losing a part of yourself. For Sofía Carter, Joe Keery was never just her best friend's older brother. He was summers spent at the Keery house when her own home felt too quiet. Late-night drives, shared secrets, almost-kisses, and years of feelings buried beneath friendship and bad timing. The boy she loved without ever really admitting it. The one person who always felt a little too much like home. For years, Sofía convinced herself whatever existed between them had faded into history. Until Joe comes home. Suddenly, old feelings begin surfacing with terrifying ease, pulling them back into the kind of intimacy that once ruined them both. What begins as lingering looks and stolen touches quickly spirals into a secret neither of them can seem to stop choosing. But falling for Joe again means risking far more than heartbreak. Because their lives have always been deeply entangled, threaded through shared friends, family dinners, inside jokes, and years of history too complicated to untangle cleanly. And this time, losing each other might cost them everything that ever felt like home.

Off The Record
Julie García built her career on control. As one of the most sought-after tour managers in the industry, she's known for running flawless shows, fixing problems before they happen, and never, ever, losing her composure. Her reputation isn't just important, it's everything. But control is a fragile thing, especially when it comes to Joe Keery. Because no matter how perfectly she runs his tour, there's one thing she can't seem to manage; the way he looks at her like she's something worth breaking the rules for. And in an industry that destroys women for far less, one mistake is all it takes to lose everything.

The Space Between Us
They were never supposed to like each other. Not in the hallways of Hawkins High. Not with unspoken tension, sharp words, and too many things left unsaid. She keeps her distance. Steve Harrington pretends he doesn't care. But the space between them is louder than anything they say out loud. Set in Hawkins, this story follows two people who clash, circle each other, and slowly realize that sometimes the strongest feelings grow where resistance lives the longest. It's about misunderstandings, stolen glances, jealousy that doesn't make sense yet, and emotions that arrive long before either of them is ready to face them. An enemies to lovers slow burn, filled with tension, quiet moments, and the kind of feelings that don't disappear just because you want them to. Because sometimes, the space between two people isn't distance - it's the beginning.
