PAIRING: Steve Harrington X Fem!Hargrove!reader

SUMMARY: Y/N Hargrove is trying to move on, to exist in a world no longer ruled by monsters and grief, but the Upside Down refuses to let her go, dragging her back just when peace feels possible. When the people she loves are threatened, her carefully constructed armor begins to crack, just enough for Steve Harrington to notice. Caught between surviving the past, facing what still lurks in the dark, and the pull of something unexpected, a boy who loves too much and a girl who was never taught how must decide what happens when two people find something worth risking everything for.
