Summary
Miranda Sheppard always thought Hawkins, Indiana was a quiet—maybe even boring—little town. But that illusion shattered in 1983, the day Will Byers vanished without a trace. It was the beginning of something much darker.
Four years later, after losing her father in 1985 and surviving the horrors of Starcourt, Miranda is trying to move forward, scarred but still standing. She spends the summer away from Hawkins, hiding out in the quiet town of New Harmony with her aunt and uncle—searching for peace, even though she knows forgetting isn’t an option.
When she returns for her senior year, Hawkins is almost unrecognizable—marked by grief, silence, and secrets that never really stayed buried. But something else is stirring in the shadows: a supernatural threat that never truly died. And now it’s back—stronger, crueler, and hungry for more than just blood.
It wants to consume everything.

Started January 7, 2024 - Completed May 25, 2025.
*Please read tags/info/warnings!*
Henry aka Subject 001 finds himself advertently drawn to college student Terry Ives, who is taking part in MKUltra experimentations under Dr. Martin Brenner's close supervision at Hawkins Laboratory. Temptation leads to involvement and eventually, Henry becomes even more desperate to find a permanent way out for himself using a pregnant Terry bearing the special child who will someday save the world, but Brenner's very controlling clutches and obsessive nature for the both of them, especially her, make it rather difficult to break away from his created world of captivity.

Summary
King of the Jocks Steve wants to buy some pills from King of the Freaks Eddie. Steve doesn't like the “arrogant bitch service fee" so he makes a counter offer.
~~~~~~~~
Steve silently stares at him but he's not going to crack. “What if we make a deal?"
“I gave you my price, take it or leave it."
“I was thinking more of a trade."
“And what do you have that I want? Fancy ass shampoo? I'm good."
Steve plays with a piece of his hair that fell over his face “Shame. You could really use some moisturizing.” He bats Steve’s hand away and Steve chuckles. Sexy dickhead.
“No. I was thinking that I could get you to beg for me in less than 5 minutes."

Summary
The reminder that he can’t keep up, that he can’t be one of the cool kids, stings.
He’s no Steve Harrington. He’s just Lucas. He’s a nerd, a loser, a nobody.
He can’t stand it, suddenly.
“Don’t tell,” he begs, looking up at her in time to see her eyebrows knit together in concern. “Don’t— Don’t tell anyone I couldn’t be cool.”
Lucas finds himself struggling at the post-championship game party.

Summary
Just as he felt bile rise up in his throat, a tap on his neck released him from his misery, and he fell on his knees, throwing up until he choked on his saliva and tears. He had never seen himself from another point of view, never saw how harsh, how aggressive he truly was. How terrifying he truly was. He was a monster.
‘‘please, please no more, please I’m sorry, I’m sorry, no more..’’ he kept apologizing as if it would change a damn thing. As if it would change what he did, what he was. ‘‘H-how ? What do you want from me?’’ he asked, drained of any fight, any defiance.
‘‘Oh Billy...don’t cry. You can still make up for everything.’’ a wave of cold hit him and he held himself back from shivering. ‘‘If I said that you could...change things, destroy and save everyone..’’ he continued his walk, glancing at him as he was still on his knees, getting himself up. ‘‘Would you make me a deal ?’’

Summary
What if Virginia Creel took her disturbed son to Dr. Brenner once for evaluation shortly before he ended up killing her and his sister, permanently fracturing the family apart?
*Told from Henry's first person present-tense POV*
Trying something different here... Based primarily on season 4 of the show, NOT on The First Shadow stage play. Also keep in mind that it's also just my interpretation of the characters, I don't own Stranger Things, all rights go to the creators, etc.

Summary
It was certainly not the first time Doctor Brenner — Papa — abused him. Doesn't make the damage any less severe than the previous time it happened though.
Henry was trying to survive at the Lab. Sometimes he started to wonder if death might be better than life as a wounded prisoner. Not that he had a choice, anyway.

Request from @rozzieroos on tumblr: Another request idea! I was listening to What a Time To Be Alive by Fall Out Boy and the line "But, baby, please, I just need someone to hold me Even though you don't even know me" struck me as a particularly good steddie prompt. Maybe some hurt/comfort? Thanks for even reading this request!

Summary
5 times Steve took care of someone and one time someone took care of Steve
Eddie had spent the last two weeks in hospital, recovering from his near fatal injuries. During that time his name had been cleared and it had been made abundantly clear to the people of Hawkins that Eddie was also a victim, that anyone who went after him would find themselves behind bars. Hopper's return had certainly helped in that respect.
Today Eddie was finally going home.
