𝙍𝙊𝙎𝙀𝙎, eleven hopper

❛ one day
i am gonna grow wings ❜

𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 . . .

for adalynn buckley, life in hawkins has always meant keeping secrets. she's funny, sharp, always quick with something to say - but underneath it all is the part of her no one's supposed to know. being different feels easier when you hide it, when you act like it doesn't exist.

then she meets eleven. and suddenly, there's someone else who understands what it's like to be watched, to be used, to carry powers you never asked for. their bond isn't about words or even trust at first - it's about recognition. the way el makes her feel seen, like maybe she doesn't have to carry everything alone.

addie never planned on finding someone like her. she never planned on any of this. but in a town like hawkins, the people who scare you a little - the ones who remind you of yourself - might just be the ones you need the most.
