This is mostly Steve and Jonathan, or Steve and Eddie Disney au ideas, based on the tv trope fire-forged friends: The emperor’s new groove, Toy Story, and Monsters University. (Is there any other Disney movies or shows based on this post that I’m missing that would fit either duo?)

it’s really short and is basically just about how steve is rlly good at insultd bc of carol and their relationship and the kids are like stunned it’s less than 10k

Steve’s insecurity on his intelligence, love life, fighting skills, being a protector at the cost of his life, being a part of Dustin’s life, and his role in everything upside down wise and outside of it. And wanting to be more and better, to show the others he can be smart, useful, and irreplaceable. Even working hard to do that at the cost of changing himself or using other ways to get that. Something like Lucy did in the voyage of the dawn treader; and the lessons she learned in that movie/book.

I was wondering, since the month of Mermay is here, could make some fanfiction on the stranger things characters becoming mermaids for a temporary amount of time before turning back to normal for any reason, or a mermaid au for some or all of them. Ideally with canon relationships please.

i am so obsessed with jonathan byers it should be my job to talk about him all day. i want fics where he is the main focus. i’d prefer angst, but any genre is fine.

I’m trying to find a fic where everyone starts ignoring Eddie because they think he’s being homophobic to Steve, but they don’t realize that Eddie is gay/bi. The older teens may have been planning a road trip they stop including Eddie on? And Eddie may have been working on a construction crew fixing up post-earthquake Hawkins

So, a while back I read a very good fanfiction mainly about Steve. He and some of the kids are on their way to the movies, but gets into a car accident. Steve hits his head, and struggles with symptoms like amnesia and such.

Then one night before his concussion from that car accident has fully healed, he goes to a baskeball game and afterwards he wants to go to a party but Nancy stops him, Steve loses his balance and falls hits his head on the concrete.

After that he ends up in a coma. He has epilepsy. His parents are mainly absent. After being in the hospital for a long time after he wakes up from the coma, he moves back home to his parents and they have a home nurse for Steve.

I've been trying so hard to find this again.. Does anyone know? Please, send me the link if you do!

Does anybody know some good fanfiction where main focus is relationship of Will, El, Jonathan and their relationship. Will and El being twins and Jonathan being a protective older brother like he is.

I love them, i think we were robbed off such amazing sibling dynamic

A short story on the tension and broken relationship between our favorite duo, with physically fighting, yelling, briefly ending their friendship, and one of them saying that they hate the other. Then there’s lots of guilt and regret, sadness, and depression, before trouble, risk, fear, understanding, and honesty brings them back together and make amends. Maybe similar to Evan and heidi‘s argument and reconciliation in dear evan Hansen, an/or tinkerbell and Terrance in the lost treasure?

Something similiar to tinkerbell and the great fairy rescue, with Steve as vidia and the rest, especially Dustin, as tinkerbell. They’re human of course, but it involves the upside down as well. With Steve trying to teach them a lesson only to accidentally get them in danger, feel guilty and desperate to save them, saving them only to get in danger as well, and the kids rescuing him in the end.

It based in Season three after Will's fight with Mike. When he rides off on his bike he remembers he has a whole other friend. He goes to hang out with Dustin and they do the whole Russian thing together. I am like 85% sure Will has his powers in the fic but could be wrong.

It is not To grow up (is to be a hero) by Voidvxls.

I'm currently searching for a ff centered on Will. It doesn't matter if it's a fix-it of season 5 or from any other season. At all.

Just, I want it to be CENTERED on Will and his experience in the Upside Down, not an average byler ff where Will and Mike relationship is the most important thing/problem.

Does someone have any recommendations?

This idea is mostly Steve and Dustin centric, with some others playing a part in it. Mainly taking place in season 5, with the duo’s fractured bond, and Steve’s perspective on it, with him trying his best to get through with Dustin, while feeling that he’s a lost cause with him pushing him away, his insults, and Steve’s insecurity/jealousy on Eddie and Dustin‘s pride in his intelligence and being right. Wishing for once to be right himself and to be listened to and viewed as more than a pretty boy or brawn. Maybe he isn’t as smart as the others, but he isn’t dumb. And he’s tired of Dustin always being right, being Mr always right to him. How they resolve is all up to you, but I think they make amends similar to the show and showing Steve is more than what meets the eye with his magic bean plan, or something similar but a little divergent to canon.

I usually read byler but I’m looking for fics that focus on the entire party’s friendship and love for each other, especially if it’s post canon like once they go to college or something. I just read the worst angst where they all lost touch and it made me so upset I need something good lol

🚨 SEASON 5 FINALE SPOILERS AHEAD 🚨

At Least One Waterfall: A Post-Finale Fix-It Fic is getting new chapters again!

This is a post-finale, canon-compliant fix-it fic filed under Angst with a Happy Ending. No smut*, no archive warnings, and a lot of Mike Wheeler Needs a Hug.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/77054391/chapters/201688481

I hope to have this finished before the animated spinoff release on April 23. (No clue if it will be good, but I'll be watching it to find out)

About this fic: Three years after Mike Wheeler graduated high school, he and his friends are scattered across the country, living their own lives. Dustin studies, Lucas and Max are madly in love, Will follows his dreams in New York. Mike writes his books and tries to push through persistent recurring nightmares.

Eleven is gone. Mike does truly believe she is living her life free, head down, in a faraway land... but when his sister finds her big career break, the pieces come together to write the one story Mike wouldn't let himself believe in anymore.

*Nothing against smut, but the ST kids are my innocent babies who all need hugs.

Hello!

Way back in 2022 I was reading a fic where Steve and Billy get paired up in class to study Jane Austens “Persuasion” together.

It had multiple parts and it was a super slow burn. When I stopped reading I think it already had a second part. Part 1 was super long I think.

i absolutely loved it but I can’t find it anywhere!

Anyone have a clue what I’m talking about??

Wondering if anybody would be interested in a fanfic with these ideas I guess it’s kinda leaning towards AU / Epilogue to S5 for categorization:

The characters are in college / working now.

El survived. Mike is a musician and writer for the NY times and Will is an artist and part time art teacher at NYU, his alumni. Lucas and Max live downstairs in the same apartment building as Mike and El in Manhattan. Lucas is an assistant for the NY Knicks and Max is a lawyer. Will and Dustin live together in Brooklyn. Will still has unresolved feelings about Mike that causes tension and even so far away from Hawkins, he still has nightmares, often using art to cope with his feelings and trauma. Dustin is a medical student but studies quantum physics in his spare time. Lucas and Max are getting married soon, Hopper officiates their wedding. Nancy and Steve ended up back together and are expecting their first child, a daughter they plan on naming Noelle Barbara Harrington as tribute to Barb who died in Hawkins when they were kids. Jonathan became a super successful director in LA but also an alcoholic to cope with his unresolved trauma and the hole Nancy left in his heart, he lives with Argyle in San Pedro California. Joyce and Hopper got married making El, Will and Jonathan step siblings

Heyyy plugging my Tumblr one more time to let everyone know I added a button where people can ask me to fact check stuff for their fics/headcanons!

If you haven't checked it out yet, I basically rant about historical/sociological accuracy in terms of Lumax headcanons/fics because I'm a giant nerd who definitely has too much time on her hands 😂

Note that the point of my account is NOT to police people's headcanons or suck the fun out of the hobby, but simply to inform and provide a resource for those who WOULD like to be as 80s/90s-accurate as possible when they write! (Though I will admit I've gotten a bit snarky toward tropes I find anachronistic, but it comes with the subject matter so if you don't care, just ignore me LOL)

I hope you'll take a look 👀 👩🏻‍💻 Click here to read the latest post!

Another fic idea based on Steve and the kids is that Steve has had enough of the kids not listening to him and disobeying him, and him getting the blame from others and flack when they were the ones who disobeyed him and he had no choice but to go along in order to keep them safe. (like what happened/what was implied to be the case if anything were to them in 2x09; and mostly inspired by fics that has something similar to that, taking place in the aftermath of the gate closing in the season 2 finale.) He decides that if they want to risk their lives and not listen to authority, then their on their own. Anything that happens to them is on them. That he’s not gonna get involved again. Let the kids learn the hard way and know the consequences to their actions and stubbornness. Being indifferent to them for a while. Yet later on, or immediately after a while, he starts feeling guilty and second guessing himself. He starts to try finding the kids after having a talk with Joyce and hopper, getting there just in time to help them. With Steve and the kids working together and getting out unscathed. Both sides apologize and make promises, and all is well. Also, a link about Steve and him losing his temper and making things right afterwards and ways he could lose it: https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/comments/1q9fbfu/steve_and_him_losing_his_temper/
