Description:

If you're a fan of stranger things, lgbtq ships, descriptive reader insert series rewrites, and/or Stephen King's Firestarter, this might be the fanfic for you! Come along as a main character in Stranger Things as you, your adoptive brother Dustin, and your small group of friends unravel the mysteries of your small town of Hawkins, Indiana. And discover some secrets about yourself along the way!

This is a revamped multi-version series depicting the reader as a main character in stranger things with multiple reader pronoun versions available for each book.

I say again. MULTIPLE PRONOUN COPIES AVAILABLE. Same story, different pronouns and romance options depending on your preference/mood: Option 1) Will/Male!Reader, Option 2) Will/GN(they/them)!Reader, and Option 3) El Hopper/F!Reader.

This is a MAJOR rework of my original Cosmic Series which was a Will/F!Reader & was first planned out and started in 2018 (Pre season 3) and has long since been pulling away from Will/F!Reader. Since my mission from the very beginning is as much inclusion as possible, I found myself making different copies as an experiment and just went with it.

Still currently being rewritten and uploaded. More info in the notes

Notes:

Reader inserts are an oxymoron of sorts, in that no reader character can perfectly capture every reader. That being said, this series makes a point of avoiding physical descriptions, clothing preferences (for the most part. Off the top of my head, there's like 3 instances total, all of which are very vague and open to interpretation), etc, and why there are three routes to choose from, pronoun wise. (She/her, they/them, & he/him). That being said, it is not perfect and I can't guarantee no one will ever feel excluded. If you do, I promise it's not on purpose and I've been doing the best I am able. I wish nothing more than to provide the same escape I found in these kinds of fics when I was young and pay it forward if possible. I am not gonna get this 100% right, but a girl can try.

Its important to me that i note that Ao3 is a platform that does not come naturally to me, and is a big reason why the version of this series that is currently up is MULTIPLE YEARS OLD. Or at least, the story itself is a very old outdated copy. I cannot promise I will keep updating, I cannot promise I won't lock myself out of my account again, I cannot promise i wont forget about this when i wake up. I cannot promise anything.

About what's currently still up, the Will/Fem!Version I mean, that is, moving forward, diving into themes of comphet and the plan is to have eventual byler, eventual fem!reader and El. If comphet ain't your thing, I get it. No sweat. But this series (Will and fem reader at least) will touch on it eventually.

Having disclosed all that, please feel free to ask questions. I am also thinking about adding *another* version that's a proper oc in readers place. Let me know if that would be interesting to you.

Anyway, thanks for reading my insane word vomit. You're a trooper. Here's a candy heart ♡
