Summary
It's 1985 and in the quiet months before Hawkins starts to burn again, Mary-Elizabeth MacKinley is already unraveling. She's graduating this year. Vinyl Frontier is relocating. Eddie’s leaving for Indianapolis. Her mom is seeing someone new. Babysitting Dustin is about to be a thing of the past. And the future—whatever that even means for a girl like her—is coming fast. To make things more confusing, somewhere in the middle of it all, Steve Harrington keeps showing up with dumb jokes, soft eyes, and a patience she doesn’t know what to do with.
Then Starcourt Mall opens. Neon lights, minimum wage, and new friendships start pulling everyone back together. But beneath the food court and escalators, something ugly is waking up. Something that makes all the other battles they've fought look harmless. Something that makes the change of growing up feel like the least of Mac's problems.
***Please read my Season 1 & 2 rewrites 'Distorted Paths' and 'Residual Shadows' first to get the full story!***
THIS IS SET DURING SEASON THREE! EACH SEASON WILL HAVE A SEPERATE FIC IN THIS SERIES! <3

Summary
"You two are so predictable!" Robin exclaimed, wiping away an imaginary tear of laughter. "A casual Eddie visit? Please! He wears that jacket like a neon sign saying ‘Came to get my Omega’! And you, Steve! ‘Oh, I will attend him, Robin’! And the little knee bumps under the counter. And the ‘I can show you better things in the back’! It was the most pathetically adorable, thinly disguised theater I've ever seen!" She laughed again. "I half-expected a backup chorus to jump out yelling ‘They're gonna kiss!’"

Summary
Undertaker wasn't a life that Eddie had ever pictured for himself, but it was where he ended up. Still single, perpetually lonely, never having quite gotten over the fact that when he tried to escape Hawkins to make a life for himself away from the curse of the Upside Down, Steve hadn't followed when he asked.
It’s been ten years since Eddie last saw Steve.
He hadn’t expected the next time he saw him again to be back in Hawkins, let alone in a body bag. -

Summary
“You came to me. Broken. Scared. I held you in my arms, just like this. And realized that you were the one for me.”
April Owens never wanted to fall in love. Formally known as Experiment 004, the 19 year old knows her status means risks or even death for anyone who gets close to her. Even without her powers.
That is until she met Eddie Munson, the towns resident freak.
When Eddie is accused of murdering the head cheerleader, it’s a rush against time to prove his innocence. But beyond the veil lies the secret to why Aprils powers disappeared, why bodies are piling up and why the picturesque town of Hawkins, Indiana seems to be cursed.
Based on "A Slow Burn ” POV on TikTok, the novelization is a retelling of April and Eddies story in traditional form.

Summary
You live in Hawkins. It's been a month since the earthquakes that destroyed the town and split it in two, swallowing homes and lives.
Going out volunteering is a passion of yours, and you like being able to help. What, or rather, who will you find?
If you haven't yet, and you can use extensions, use the InteractiveFics extension to change "Y/N" to your name! Makes the whole thing easier to read, in my opinion.

Summary
Finney made it out of the Grabber’s basement alone.He’d always been somewhat alone, but this was different. Robin—his best friend since kindergarten—wasn’t there. Sure, he still had his sister, but it wasn’t the same. She was only nine. He couldn’t tell her what he was going through. She was the one who was supposed to come to him with her problems. Their dad? A whole different story. They couldn’t trust him with anything. So Finney moved to Hawkins, Indiana. He reinvented himself. Pretended to be perfect. Surrounded himself with fake friends. Became popular. But none of it was real. His smile. His dumbed-down personality. Even his hair. All fake. Because Finney was smart—*very* smart—but Steve Harrington wasn’t supposed to be. Steve Harrington was just a mask. It was survival. Because the world is cruel—especially to people like Finney Blake. So maybe Steve Harrington killed Finney Blake. Or maybe the Grabber did. No one really knows. All they know is that Finney Blake died in that basement, alongside the other ghost boys. And the part of Steve that’s missing? That piece could never come back.
Because Finney Blake is dead. But Steve Harrington is not. Or maybe—just maybe—Steve is still Finney. And he’s not okay. -

Summary
Grabbing the phone off the receiver, he dials the number and presses the cool plastic to the side of his face.
Three rings come through, and then he hears it, “If you’re calling about an interview, hang up and call Argyle. If it’s Tuesday, I’m playing the Roxy. If it’s Wednesday, I’ll be in Seattle. Anybody else, wait for the tone. You know what to do. And P.S., if this is Steve, I still love you.”
-OR-
Steve walks away, and almost a year later, he calls Eddie only to find the metalhead is still waiting for him.

Summary
When Steve had agreed to a group costume, he didn’t know it was going to mean this.
But here he was, Steve Harrington, Prom King, Hawkins High basketball star, all dressed up in a fucking yellow ball and fishnets and lipstick. At least no one would know it was him.
The party was… fine. Steve was mostly keeping an eye on his kids, making sure they weren’t getting into too much trouble as they ran around, trying every snack and arcade cabinet in sight.
“Do my eyes deceive me?”
Steve turned to find Keith, of all people, leaning on the counter next to him, dressed up as… oh no.
“Have I finally found the Missus to my Pac-man?”

Summary
Family Video is boring. Steve thinks of a way to liven up a shift. He's always been an act first, think later kind of guy. What's a little role-play between coworkers?
|| It was the shifts he worked with Keith that sometimes sucked the most. The guy just wouldn't shut up. He kept trying to educate Steve on important cinematic history or some shit, and sometimes Steve didn't mind—Keith was passionate and knew his movie trivia—but sometimes that passion crossed the line from almost cute to totally annoying. Today, when Steve was already bored and had a borderline headache from the late autumn heat wave, there was something about his voice in lecture mode, especially the tone that made it clear he thought Steve was an idiot, that made Steve want to do anything just to shut him up.
"…Bava didn't need Karloff for The Telephone or The Drop of Water, but bringing in a ringer like him for The Wurdulak really elevated the weakest of the stories—Harrington!" Steve fought back the wince as Keith snapped his fingers in his face, pulling him back from his wandering thoughts. "Pay attention! This is important. We have a lot of customers who are into classic horror, and are going to want to know this sort of stuff!" ||

The Sword of Damocles (non-explicit) by VTHX (V_Haley)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Being a creep is easy; being the right kind of creep is tricky.
Keith prefers it at one step removed, lets rumor do the brunt of the work for him, like extorting Nancy Wheeler's brother for a date with her, which he knows she won't agree to. (Even if he's wrong, even if she does, Keith can weaponize unpleasantness so it never happens again.) But scathing rumor will ensure everyone knows about his "crush" on Nancy; if the pathetic loser is hung up on her, no one will question why he's not going after other girls. Nancy will turn him down or avoid him (or both), and he'll buy himself breathing room.
Rinse, repeat. If the loneliness eats you alive, at least you are alive.
