To Hawkins High, Scarlette Harrington is untouchable in the most obvious way possible. Sheâs a Harrington â Steveâs little sister â which already puts her on a pedestal she never asked for. Sheâs confident, sharp-tongued, always moving like she knows exactly where sheâs going. Teachers recognize her name. Students step aside in the halls. Sheâs the girl who leads cheers on Friday nights and doesnât flinch when everyoneâs watching. From the outside, Scarletteâs life looks fearless.
Lucas had a habit of showing up when he wasnât supposed to. Not loudly, not dramaticallyâjust there, tapping twice on your window like it was the most natural thing in the world to be outside your house at two in the morning.
You used to be the sweetest girl in the world. In Hawkins, everyone knew your name. You were on the volleyball team, the girl parents trusted to babysit their kids, the one the little ones adored. You had a golden reputation and a golden future. You had a boyfriendâSteve Harringtonâand people loved you together. You were the couple Hawkins assumed would last. The kind of girl the town believed it would never lose. Until it did.
To you, Fred Weasley was the loudest, most persistent distraction in the halls of Hogwarts. To everyone else, he was a nuisance, but to you, he was a challenge you were winningâmostly because you refused to give him the satisfaction of a smile.
You are spending you Christmas Eve at the burrow with your brother Cedric and your boyfriend Fred and his family. But little did you know that Fred has a surprise that will change your life and relationship for the good forever.
In Hawkins, you are part of the Wheeler family. You are Nancy Wheelerâs twin sister. the two of you are incredibly popular. This also makes Mike Wheeler your little brother, who attends the middle school next to the high school. Unlike you and Nancy, Mike isnât very popular and mostly sticks with his close group of friends: Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Will Byers, and Max Mayfield.
You were just a teenager. An ordinary kid who wanted to survive high school, graduate, maybe leave Hawkins one day. You worried about grades, about bullies, about whether you were brave enough to talk to someone you liked. Your life was supposed to be small, familiar, human. Vecna took that from you. His experiments did not end with Will. Will had been a beginningâa spy, a bridge, a proof of concept.
Micah doesnât spiral outward. She jokes like always. She keeps the Party moving. She teases Mike, reassures El, checks on Will with that gentle smile. From the outside, sheâs steady. Brave. Unchanged. But alone, the question creeps in. Are you man enoughâŚ?
At Hawkins High, Jason Carver openly mocks the Hellfire Club and dismisses D&D as something for losers and freaks, unaware that Micah Wheeler is standing nearby, quietly listening to every word. Confident and unbothered on the surface, Micah takes it all inâhis ignorance, his cruelty, his assumptionsâwhile remaining calm and unreadable.
Itâs yours and Fredâs wedding day. You are Cedric diggorys little sister. And you were always known as the chaotic sibling between the two of you which left you to be the perfect match for the one and only. Fred Weasley.
The Starcourt Mall hums with artificial cheer, neon lights, and the constant stickiness of melted ice cream. Scoops Ahoy becomes the place where Deja, Steve Harrington, and Robin Buckley spend most of their days trapped together in matching uniforms that feel too tight, too bright, and too far removed from the things theyâve survived.

The Creel house is quiet in a way that feels deliberate, as if it is holding its breath. Bella Everly Skye moves through it with practiced focus, already cataloging exits, structural weaknesses, and patterns in the decay. When the group decides to split up, she goes with Robin and Steve, confident in her ability to assess danger faster than most.
Blair Hargrove appears untouchable. Outwardly, sheâs cold, sarcastic, and intimidatingâthe kind of person everyone notices but few truly know. But beneath the sharp tongue and confident facade, Blair is quietly struggling with deep depression, feeling isolated and heavy despite the friendships she has.
Y/n Stark is the 16 year old daughter of Tony and Pepper. Her life is going great (mostly). She lives in The Avengers tower in New York with her parents and The Avengers, who are also her best friends, despite the age difference. One day, like any other day, she goes to school. But she never returns home again. Someone took her. But who? And why?
At the party, Julia somehow gets way too drunk â but instead of getting emotional, she turns into the most chaotic, unhinged version of herself imaginable.
The air was thick, wet with decay. Every step they took made the ground squelch beneath their boots, the blackened vines clutching at their legs like greedy hands. The faint glow from their flashlights barely cut through the fog, and the distant echo of somethingâbreathing? scraping?âmade every nerve in Kyleighâs body tighten. She led the group by instinct, just a step ahead, but not too far. Her gun was in hand, steady, almost casual. Nothing about her betrayed the tension she felt.
