Summary: You have always been determined to protect the ones you love from danger. While dealing with heartbreak, loss, and love, you refuse for your past traumas to affect you in all of this mess, especially not to interdimensional monsters.

Pairing: Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader

Warnings: 18+ content, mentions of Y/N, stranger things rewrite, exes to lovers, second chance romance, angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, jealousy, sexual content, strong language, violence, alcohol, drugs, abuse, nightmares, ptsd, trauma, blood, gore, death, possible inaccurate information, specific chapter warnings included within each chapter

Note: I decided to rewrite my entire Stranger Things series. It used to be an original female character (Aria Kaul) but now it is just a female reader. The only thing about this reader is that her last name will remain as Kaul because of her mother and they are both important characters in the story. Other than that, the first name is completely your choice. I have also changed many things within the story as I have come up with a lot of new ideas since finishing the series three years ago. If you have read the original Reticent, I hope you like this revised version. If this is your first time reading, I hope you enjoy it!

•• Reticent One Shots and Blurbs

Summary: You quite literally had everything. The perfect job, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect life. That was until a scandal you didn’t cause shattered it all. Now forced to start over in a city that doesn’t know your name, you are forced to take a job far beneath your old life and meet Steve Harrington, your new coworker who can’t seem to stand you. You’re spoiled, he’s stubborn, and things are about to get complicated.

Pairing: Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader

Warnings: 18+ content, office coworkers au, the usual stranger things/upside down mayhem does not exist, mentions of Y/N, some mistakes in information so not everything is factual because this is only fanfiction, slow burn, set in the early 2000s, enemies to lovers trope, spoiled rich girl!reader x stubborn golden boy!steve, eventual smut, angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, specific warnings will be included in the chapter itself

Note: This is my new Stranger Things series, except, it’s not set in the original universe. This will be set in the early 2000s, and all of the Upside Down mayhem does not exist. However, all of the characters will continue to have the same personality as they do in the show. This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers story with a focus on Luxe (aka reader — don’t worry, her name is whatever you choose) and Steve. There will be lots of office tension, banter, and emotional growth ahead. I hope you enjoy reading!

This is a collection of one shots and blurbs from my Stranger Things series Reticent. These will follow Star’s (aka reader’s) story outside of the regular series. It will include storylines with Steve, the love interest, as well as other characters, including Yasmin, Hopper, Eleven, Jonathan, Nancy, Robin, the kids, etc.

Some, but not all, of these one shots and blurbs can also be read as standalones, so you don’t necessarily have to read the entire series to understand what is going on, but it is still recommended. I will put a warning on each post if that is the case. These one shots are written so you can dive deeper into Star’s story, since a lot of it happens outside of the series and it wouldn’t make sense for me to integrate in normally.

I am also open to requests for Reticent. If you would like to see a particular storyline, or even just something random with Star and another character, you can click here and leave a request.

I would also like to mention that everything that happens to Star in the series happens for a reason. Everything that I write that you may have questions on have either already been answered or will be answered when season five releases. Obviously, I don’t know what will happen in the final season, but if I am unable to integrate some storylines into the regular series, I will be making one shots and answering the mysteries that way. I won’t leave anything unanswered.

If you have any particular questions regarding Star or anything about Reticent at all, feel free to send something through my inbox and I’ll try to answer! I hope you all enjoy these fics. Happy reading!
