Summary
It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.
And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.
There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.
So, trailing them at a distance it is.
(AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

Summary
Much like the other day, Ellie ends up sitting on the porch steps. Joel’s back even quicker this time. Almost like he’d left his first aid supplies sitting out and ready to attend as needed.
More cleaning, this one hurts less. More gel liquid, this time rubbed in a bit better. And more bandaids, these ones something other than plain, boring beige. Not princesses either, usually the first thing adults reached for when they mixed the two factors of Little Girl and Injured together.
Nope. This guy has dinosaur bandaids.
“Dude, I fucking love dinos!”
Joel’s head swivels up, eyes going from her carefully patched up elbow to meet Ellie’s gaze. She wants to ask him how he knew. She wants to ask to see the rest of the designs in the box. She wants to tell him all of the other things she loves.
“S’pose I picked right then,” he says, almost like he’d been standing in the aisle, contemplating what exactly that might be.
“You did,” is how Ellie answers him, not bothering with a thank you.
//
or: Ellie is Joel's next door neighbor who's hellbent on learning to ride a bike to get where she needs to go. Little does she know that place is right across the street.

Summary
Dustin lingers on Steve’s doorstep for a good ten minutes before he knocks. He knows Steve’s parents are gone—locked out by the quarantine—but he’s worried somehow anyway. Or maybe he doesn’t want to ruin Steve’s night. He might’ve cared about that, in the beginning.
When he does knock, and Steve does open the door, Dustin has this whole plan of what to say. Everyone’s fine, he’ll say, because Steve will think the monsters are back. I’m fine, he’ll say next, because Steve will think he’s dying. Sorry about your doormat, he’ll joke, because there’s blood in the center of the O in WELCOME.
Instead, he bursts into tears.

Summary
“Listen, Charlie, we’ve been besties for a long time-” Charlie didn’t think her eyebrows could lift any higher. “Friends?” He winced at her unchanging expression. There was a cheer from the yard, as Edward presumably entered the backyard. "Acquaintances?” He tried and Charlie finally nodded, “Okay… long-time acquaintances. Whatever. Anyway, I just wanted to ask a friendly favour...”
Charlotte Henderson was just trying to get out of town.
All she wanted was to make music, and keep her brother happy - too bad nothing good ever happens in Hawkins.

Flipped: A Steve Harrington Enemies to Lovers by driftwillow
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
26 Jul 2024

Summary
🏗️ Story under construction; Season 1 and Season 2 complete. Read Season 3 onwards if you wish but it's currently under rewriting 👷🏻♀️
"You've got a mean mouth and you're the rudest girl I've ever met."
"God, I- you just- you just... drive me insane, and I hate you! I really hate you, Steve Harrington!"
"Oh, you hate me? We're throwing that word around now? Okay, sweetheart, get this: I hate you, too. So the feeling's mutual!"
Most people adore Steve Harrington, king of Hawkins High. However most people, according to Y/N, are stupid for ever falling for this act.
Very few people have had chance to get close to Y/N since she moved into town and not that many actually want to get to know her better either - weird, mean, rude, and that's Steve Harrington being nice about her.
But something strange is about to happen in Hawkins that will force the pair together, and if they hope to survive, they'd better put their differences aside.
From unlikely circumstances, friendship will bloom, and what was once thought to be hatred may well get flipped upside-down.
Stranger Things rewrite that incorporates reader into the show.
Slow burn enemies to lovers with eventual smut.

Some form of God answered her prayers when she got the midnight call that her husband died. With her freedom in one hand and her father’s stern words in the other, she raced off to take over the family business.
The Gold.

She thinks she’s free from men and their ambition until Thomas Shelby catches whiff of her and her club. And not only him either.

They’re both selfish, get bored easily, and have access to wads of cash they didn’t work honestly to get and neither have any interest in bourgeois rules or morality.”So when Thomas Shelby manages to marry into that world, to a woman whose blood is almost as blue as that cursed sapphire of his, a perfect match is the only result one could expect, a stunning result for success.

Summary
"You protect me. I take care of you."
Birmingham, 1919. A woman fleeing the ashes of the Russian Revolution takes a job as bookkeeper at the Shelbys’ betting shop under a false name. Her accent doesn’t match her papers. Her past is a secret she guards fiercely. But she keeps her head down, and the ledgers stay flawless.
Until Thomas Shelby starts asking questions.
He doesn’t trust her. She doesn’t flinch when he looks her in the eye. What begins as suspicion slowly turns into something else—something fragile, and dangerous, forged in silence, loyalty, and the desperate need for protection. Something neither of them can afford to lose.

Summary
It's 1925, three years after River ran away with Newt due to her parents twisting her arm to marry Cantankerus Nott who was willing to pay a very large sum for her hand in marriage. She's returned to England instead of going to America with Newt and is spending her time running wild like a druid and chasing magical creatures rather than facing her family.
She comes across a 3-year-old boy who has run into the woods because of a few mischievous pixies. River takes him into her arms, and little Charlie never wants to leave her side again.
Thomas Shelby is stricken with more grief after his son goes missing in the woods. It's been only a year since Grace was murdered. He was completely unprepared for a little woman to come dancing down his lawn with his son laughing in her arms and completely smitten with her.
Suddenly, there was light in their lives again.
Forbidden fruit never tasted so sweet.
River Scamander was not normal. She was magic and the sweetest honey Tommy ever tasted. His own little bee, with eyes as blue as the sky and skin as pale as a lily.
And what is it with her and animals?

Summary
You wanted to believe it. You did believe it. At least, enough to flirt back when he leaned against the movie theater counter with that easy grin, sneaking you free strawberry ice cream, throwing popcorn at you when the managers weren’t looking. You liked the way he made you laugh, the way his hair flopped in his face when he got too caught up in a story. How he seemed dedicated enough to show up to work every day in that stupid sailor suit. He wasn’t the same guy who used to ignore you in the hallways at school, the same guy who sneered at your friends when they weren’t cool enough to be in his orbit.
Or so you thought. Because now, sitting here alone, your pretty dress damp with sweat and your stomach twisted in knots, it’s clear you were wrong.
Steve stands you up for your date on July 3rd, 1985. What could his excuse possibly be?
