The Stranger Things Are Meant To Be - A Mileven Fanfiction. (COMPLETED!)
After 6 years, Eleven finally appears. But not the El Mike, Dustin and Lucas knew back in '83. She can't recall many words, or remember how to read properly. She's scared of people who love her, unable to deal with the intensity of their emotions. Most of the time she feels lost with not a single place feeling like home, not a voice to cradle her mind in familiar sounds, or a set of warm hands she would let hold her own. Everyone has changed in the small town of Hawkins. Most people are unrecognisable. Even though they're completely different people, can they help El regain her memory back? "Nowhere To Run, With No Place To Hide. Nowhere To Go, When Its Inside My Mind. Stuck In This War Without Picking A Side.... Stuck In Upside Down."~ Chariot- Upside Down.Complete

"𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕕𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕤𝕦𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕡𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣 𝕥𝕠 𝕓𝕖?" JJ Henderson wasn't the most popular girl at school. She's not the prettiest, the loudest, or the nicest. She isn't the most athletic, or best dressed, ⅋ maybe if she applied herself she'd be the smartest, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵. She knew firmly where she stood at Hawkins High, where she belonged, so the meaningless matters of social status wasn't a priority of the Henderson girl. What held the most vital significance in JJ's life is four boys, who meant the world to her, needed her most. To them, she's the coolest ⅋ most valued person in their lives. Mike, Will, Dustin, & Lucas didn't care how she dressed, if she smoked, what scars lay beneath her sleeves, or the scary thoughts racing through her head. They cared that she played with them, listened to them, ⅋ that she's alive, that they could make her smile ⅋ she wanted to hear about their day. To them, JJ Henderson is the strongest, bravest person they know. She told them to ignore the bullies ⅋ stand up for themselves, they didn't know she doesn't take her own advice. Those four boys are her entire being, her purpose, her reason for still being here. They didn't care she's never had sex, or think she's a cry for help for attention. She's struggled her whole pathetic life, mentally, socially, educationally, hell in every aspect, she couldn't take much more. So what happens when the disappearance of Will Byers... 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧?

The Edge of Legend
Andrea "Andie" Hopper has always stood out. Moving to Hawkins and growing close to the Byers family changed everything for her, and when little Will Byers goes missing, she is determined to do anything she can to bring him home. Even if that means interacting with prim and proper Nancy Wheeler and working on her relationship with her father, the grumpy Chief of Police. With her friend Eddie not being involved in the terrors that she is soon to discover, she might have to expand her circle to include Will's friends, some weird girl with a buzzcut, and even Steve Harrington...despite him being an idiot. It might even mean she's going to have to adjust to a new normal. And just maybe getting to know Steve Harrington won't be so bad after all. (S1 to S4 of Stranger Things, with my own version of S5, written before S5 came out.) *I do not own the characters or story, I only own what I have added to it. I do not own the cover art.

Little Dark Age (ST2)
It is fall 1984. Soon to be Halloween and then Thanksgiving. It has almost been a year since Will Byers was saved from the Upside Down and Seraphina was attacked by the Demogorgon while saving her new friends and brother. Now, with a new scar on her face and the new crew of friends, she just wants to live a somewhat regular, teenage life. New year, new beginnings, and everything back to normal. Right? Well, things never stay normal in Hawkins. Will has been acting strange ever since he was saved from the Upside Down and Seraphina has been having nonstop nightmares that only she and Steve know about. She can't help but think that her nightmares aren't really nightmares... Is there more to the Upside Down that they don't know about? And if so, will she be the protector of the group? Is Seraphina going to let this craziness back into her life when she could choose to ignore it? Either way, she has people to protect and she'll throw herself in harm's way, even if it means hurting herself in the process...Complete

Everyone knew Becca Hopper wanted out of Hawkins. Her social life consisted of a middle schooler she babysat, his friends she occasionally drove around, and that was it. She was simply the chief's daughter no one had ever truly gotten the chance to know. But with gates into other worlds opening and Dustin Henderson dragging her into trouble, she has no choice but to get to know the people she'd spent so long ignoring. And catching Steve Harrington's attention? That didn't matter to her in the slightest. Really. Stranger Things Fanfic Steve Harrington X OC COMPLETED UNTIL SEASON 5

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FIC IS DISCONTINUED "double-oh seven. your name is seven?" Everybody thought Hawkins was the kind of town in which nothing ever happened. What nobody knew was that more than one little girl escaped the lab that night. Going to say before you read, some of the dialogue won't be word-perfect as to the episodes.
