College AU

Welcome to Hawkins, 1987—where the air is thick with gasoline fumes, cheap beer, and the constant hum of teenage angst that never quite fades. Y/N is the new girl at Hawkins Community College, dropped into a town that feels too small, too loud, and strangely familiar all at once. She is lost—not just on campus, but in that quiet, unsettling way that suggests maybe she has been lost for a while now.
