Y/N Hopper comes back to Hawkins during Season 1 carrying years of resentment toward her father after Sara’s death shattered their family apart. Getting dragged into the mystery surrounding Will Byers’ disappearance is already bad enough. Then she meets Steve Harrington. Arrogant, annoying, painfully charming Steve Harrington — the exact kind of boy Y/N swears she’ll never fall for. But between supernatural disasters, ruined plans, unresolved grief, and years of constantly finding their way back to each other, hatred slowly turns into something far more dangerous. Because surviving the Upside Down might actually be easier than admitting they’re in love.
