Wrong Side of the Screen (Book Two): Off-Script by Sophia_Va1entine

Summary
Hawkins is quiet. That's not the same thing as safe.
In the weeks after the holidays, something that felt temporary starts to feel real — a house that holds people, relationships that stop performing themselves, a group finding its shape around shared weight. Sophia knows what's coming. She's less sure she can stop it.
The list has names on it. And the silence Vecna has been keeping was never peace — it was preparation.
Off Script is the second book in the Wrong Side of the Screen series. Start with Book One: Screen Test — it won't make as much sense without it.

Summary
“She’s not cool. She’s condescending.”
“Mmhmm.”
“She looks at me like I’m an idiot.”
“Wow. New experience for you.”
“And she talks like she’s already five steps ahead of everyone else.”
Robin hummed thoughtfully. “You know, that’s exactly how I felt about you when we first met.”Julia, the new art teacher at Hawkins Middle, is sharp, unreadable, and clearly hiding something. When a student starts acting strangely, Steve finds himself forced into a reluctant investigation with the one person he can’t stand—and can’t quite look away from.
OR: a post-canon, post-epilogue fic where Steve Harrington stays in Hawkins as a middle school coach and reluctantly teams up with the new art teacher to untangle a mystery.
Slow burn. Enemies to allies. And a love story about confronting the parts of yourself you’d rather keep buried.Bookmarked by Pinkytheelephant

Summary
Post-Starcourt, Hawkins is supposed to be done with monsters.
Then Sophia falls into town with memories that don’t line up anymore—and the future stops behaving.
As Steve Harrington learns how to stop holding everything alone, secrets change the air in a room, friendships adjust in small, dangerous ways, and a threat begins to move long before anyone can name it.
A slow-burn, character-driven Season 4 rewrite where the horror arrives quietly, the relationships shift first, and knowing the future no longer means you’re in control of it.

Summary
Dariya Ovechkina and Steve Harrington had agreed to date.
Not for love. Not even for like. It wasn't a kiss-behind-the-gym, pass-a-note-in-math kind of beginning. No fireworks. No music cue. Just a short, strange conversation in the cold, somewhere between midnight and morning, and a decision that didn't feel real until everyone at school started looking at her differently.
It was just supposed to be a distraction; that's how Steve had said it. Just a few weeks. Enough time for Nancy Wheeler to miss him. Enough time for Jonathan Byers to see what he lost. A little fake affection. A few public appearances. Walks down the hallway like they belonged together.
But lies are easy to start, and hard to stop.
STRANGER THINGS 2-5; will be long fic :)

Summary
“Hustle, you little shithead! I’ve got a—,” Penelope opened the door and found a boy about her age on the doorstep. His balled-up fist raised in the air as if about to knock again. “—date.”
His brown eyes scanned her from top to bottom, forehead scrunching in confusion. His hand slowly dropped to his side. “Henderson?” he asked, puzzled.
“Yes?” she answered.
“Where’s Henderson?”“Right here,” Penelope said as she pointed at herself.
OR
When a family emergency calls Dustin Henderson and his mother away from Hawkins they enlist the help of their cousin Penelope to house and pet-sit for them.
