"His body turned, and he was looking at Robin, at her concerned face, and then he was looking past it, and-
Tick, tick, tick, tick
His breath caught, a chill running down his spine, freezing his body in place.
'Robin,' he said softly, shakily. She raised her eyebrows. 'Please tell me you see that too.'"

It's been a year since the streets of Hawkins, Indiana split open, since the Upside Down became the right side up. They managed to kill whatever had become of the last (truly) living member of the Creel house, but not before Hawkins became a ghost town. Now, the population is barely pushing seven hundred, but they decide it's safer that way.
They thought everything with the Upside Down, with Vecna, with the Mindflayer, with Brenner and everything else had ended, had gone away. They thought they were safe, finally.
Oh, how wrong they were.

I would love it if you read my retelling there! I would like to say though, if you want an incomplete ending, the first part is finished here. My story on A03 is the same title and Authors Name as on here. Love to see you there! Edit--4/10/24 I had taken this fic down for a while and spontaneously decided to put it back up. I wrote this at a very different point in my life and am not necessarily planning on returning to this story on A03 or Wattpad, however, the first section is complete and has a semi-definitive ending. If you decide to read the rest (aka S2), you will just need to leave a lot to imagination. I am reuploading this tonight at 8:00PM EST.

i just wanna get lost with you - ronance
The second time Robin ever met Nancy, Nancy was covered in blood holding a gun pointed straight at Robins head. The second time Nancy met Robin, Robin had a gun to her forehead and fear in her eyes. Maybe it was those eyes that made her finger hesitate over the trigger. Or when the world was subject to an apocalypse Nancy finds Robin or maybe it was Robin who found Nancy. Either way they have to fight to survive and they might eventually find love as well. (Set in a non canon Hawkins, not set in the 80's, set in present day, both Robin and Nancy are 23 all other characters are around 4 years older than what they're ages are in S4) anyway ronance <3 Trigger warning: gore, strong language, suicidal thoughts, death.

Stars Constant | S. Harrington
"Sometimes memories are the worst forms of torture." - "Well, if it's not frostbite, then what is it?" "It's disgusting is what it is, Carol," Gwen scrunches up her face. "Yeah, seriously. Listen to Pengwen and get it off the table. We're eating here," Steve says with a mouthful of pudding. Gwen looks at Steve with furrowed brows. "Penguin?" Steve pauses with his spoon mid air and looks at the girl. "Yeah. Pengwen," He drops the spoon and lifts his left hand. "Penguin," Then he lifts his right hand. "Gwen," He slaps his hands together. "Pengwen," He smiles. "I kind of hate it," She smiles. Steve shrugs. "Well, I could switch it out with 'Gwenny', 'Wendy'..." Gwen stops him, holding her hands up with wide eyes. "Okay, stop," Steve puts his index finger in the air like he's just had a revolutionary idea. "Oooh, how about 'Gwenola'?" He raises his eye brows for emphasis. "'Pengwen'. 'Pengwen' is fine," Gwen chuckles. Steve smiles. "Good to know!" - Gwen Henderson was given another chance at life when she was 13 years old. Adopted by Claudia Henderson, she was finally able to be a somewhat normal teenager. She had a loving family, an annoyingly adorable little brother, and a fresh reputation at school. She seemed to get on with the new lifestyle great as well. She got along with the small family, and even got along with her adoptive brothers friends. And although this may sound great to any other normal teen, Gwen was still ridden with the trauma and guilt of her past. Sleepless nights were a common occurrence, as were the nightmares that had her jolting up in bed, drenched in sweat with a scream. Even given the chance of a new life, her past seemed to follow her everywhere she went. ━━━━━━━━ Steve Harrington x Fem OC Slow burn! season 1- ✅ season 2- ✅ season 3- ✅ season 4- ✅ season 5- tba!Complete
Brenner's daughter - Henry Creel
Hidden behind locked doors and iron rules, Henry Creel has spent his life inside Hawkins Lab - not by choice, but by design. Once the first child molded by Dr. Brenner's experiments, he grew into a silent protector for the generations of gifted children who came after him, bearing the weight of a life he never chose. He thought he understood the world: pain, obedience, isolation. Until Marlena Brenner, the daughter of the man who made him, returned to the lab - and changed everything. Where others saw a weapon, Marlena saw a man. She offered him kindness with no demands, love with no conditions. Slowly, Henry began to believe he could be something more than what the lab made him. Their stolen kisses, lingering touches, and tentative confessions grew into something fierce and real. But freedom always has a price. When a tragedy rips through the lab, taking Marlena's father and nearly Marlena herself, Henry is faced with the unimaginable terror of losing the only light in his dark world. As Marlena fights her way back from the brink, she refuses to rebuild what was broken. Instead, she dreams bigger: creating a place where gifted children can live without fear - a real home, filled with laughter, learning, and choice. A future Henry never dared to imagine. Now, surrounded by the children they vow to protect, Henry and Marlena must navigate first love, aching grief, and a healing neither of them thought possible. Together, they will build not just a sanctuary - but a family. A story of survival, redemption, and an extraordinary love born in the most unlikely of places, Brenners daughter is a heart-wrenching, breathtaking journey toward freedom, hope, and the simple, saving power of being seen.Complete

Shared Trauma (Steve Harrington)
Emilie Henderson was damaged. Everyone knew what happened to her. Or at least, they knew enough. When she was thirteen she went camping with her father and they both went missing for nearly two weeks until Emilie was found barely alive with deep wounds from an unknown origin and her father was found with his eyes caved in and his bones cracked. She was in a coma for thirteen weeks when she came back she had no memory of what happened. Doctors said the trauma was so great that the young girl blocked it out. But ever since then, she kept having nightmares of a place. Like this world but cold and dark. She lived with the Byers as she became friends with Jonathan and was like a daughter to Joyce until her brother and mother were able to move to Hawkins with her due to complications. She's now known at the traumatized girl of Hawkins High with the freak brother, yet somehow she is Steve "The Hair" Harrington's best friend albeit their relationship has gotten rocky. She deals with normal things along with her nightmares and trauma-school, bullies, insecurities, and being in love with her best friend. But when Will Byers goes missing and odd occurrences start happening, Emilie's memories start coming back. *Under going changes*![mary.

mary. [ BILLY HARGROVE ]
Mary Henderson had never forgotten that first time the upside down hit Hawkins, Indiana. With her brother and his friends right in the middle of it. The day they thought it was all over was the day that Mary swore to protect her brother no matter what happened in the small town of Hawkins. Now, come Halloween time, everything was changing again. Billy Hargrove didn't really care for anyone but himself. He'd moved all the way from California to what he would call a "shit hole" in Indiana. He didn't know about the upside down in any way whatsoever. He didn't intend to find out either. When he met Mary, he acted the same way he always did to a girl his age. He flirted as much as he possibly could. In doing so, he strayed farther from winning over the older Henderson. But something changed one night. But did it change for the better or worse?

❝I WANT TO DRIVE AWAY WITH YOU I WANT YOUR COMPLICATIONS TO I WANT YOUR DREARY MONDAYS WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME BABY BOY❞ Sabrina Hargrove had always been the calm after the storm - or at least, she tried to be. Born just three minutes before her twin brother Billy, she was the light to his thunder. Where Billy burned hot with anger, Sabrina burned quietly, her fire hidden behind soft smiles and steady eyes. The two had grown up inseparable once, but years in the Hargrove household had a way of breaking even the closest bonds. Their mother, Laura, had been the only warmth in a home built on sharp words and slammed doors. When she died, something in Billy shattered completely - and Sabrina had been left trying to pick up pieces that refused to fit anymore. Neil Hargrove remarried quickly, bringing Susan and her young daughter Max into their lives. Billy resented them. However Sabrina didn't. Max reminded Sabrina of herself - stubborn, funny, full of fight. And from the moment she met her, Sabrina decided she'd protect her. Mostly from Neil's temper. From Billy's rage. From everything that came with being a Hargrove. When Neil's job dragged them across the country to a small, forgettable town called Hawkins, Indiana, Sabrina told herself she'd make it work. She'd keep Max safe, keep Billy calm, keep herself together. But Hawkins had a way of pulling people into its secrets - the kind that changed everything. And then there was Steve Harrington
