Welcome to The Harringrove Library
You can request types of fics you'd like us to find, or you can send in a lost fic that you can't locate and we'll try to help you out
**Tag Page**
I don’t want to call anyone out specifically or by name but I have noticed, in the past week (November 2020) an influx of AO3 users treating Archive Of Our Own as their personal fic-finding community.
There is nothing wrong with posting meta about the characters, or headcanons, or even RP though that’s not my bag of tricks. But creating a work entitled “Please Help Me Find This Fic!” and then writing down everything you can remember about the fic and hoping for comments to roll in… is not what AO3 is for. It is not a social network though friendships can certainly be formed in the comments section.
AO3 has a robust and absolutely incredibly filtering and tag system. There’s even a cheatsheet that helps you use the search terms to their fullest function. There’s the @harringroveficlibrary and @harringroveficarchive though both seem to be dormant at the time of writing. There’s also reddit and twitter and tumblr in general, to make posts and ask for help in finding specific fic.
and yes, this is directed at the Harringrove fandom since that is the common factor of every help-me-find Stranger Things AO3 work that I’ve seen pop up.
soulmate fic recs? been in strong mood for those and having a hard time finding some :) thanks!!!
sure thing :^) (under the cut because it got a bit long) -cade
Blood and Pain by Carerra_os (1/1 | 1,583 | Teen+)
Billy and Steve are soulmates, they don't find that out till they fight.
-
It kind of feels like being punched in the gut, seeing Nancy’s neat scrawl on the inside of Jonathan's arm, the exact same scrawl Steve saw on her bare arm just a few moments ago. Jonathan and Nancy both look guilty, at least, but it does not make it any easier. Steve thought she was safe, thought she was like him, that she did not have a soulmate, and it hurts, finding out different. Steve has always been good at ignoring though, at pushing down his own feelings and putting on a good face for others, and now is no different.
warnings: blood & injury, canon typical violence
Origin of Love by TaytheBae (1/1 | 4,168 | Teen+)
Billy Hargrove was an asshole. But it wasn’t his attitude that stopped Steve dead in his tracks during basketball practice two days after Billy’s arrival to Hawkins. They were playing shirts and skins, and without a care in the world, Billy ripped off his shirt.
Along with revealing miles of tanned skin and firm muscles, Steve saw a faded red mark right above Billy’s navel that seemed to resemble the sun. While it wouldn’t seem unusual to anyone else, Steve couldn’t take his eyes away from the little red splotch.
-
Steve never knew what the red sun-shaped mark right above his bellybutton was for. Not until he met Billy Hargrove.
Lips to Lips, Scars to Scars by lostnoise (1/1 | 7,491 | Mature)
From the soulmates prompt, #15: the one where every lie your soulmate tells you appears on your skin.
His parents have to sit him down and tell him what it means - not the words themselves, but what it means that they showed up at all on his skin. That there’s someone out there waiting for him. That he should pay attention to what kind of person his soulmate is.
Because only their lies will show up on his arm.
warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, temporary character death, period typical homophobia
Tall Tales and Fairy Rings by lostnoise (1/1 | 1,394 | General)
The Harrington Estate sits upon the edge of Hawkins Forest, acres and acres of wooded land. Steven, heir to Lord Harrington, is sixteen when he starts exploring the lands of his father and forefathers.
Growing up, he’s hears all the stories about the types of creatures, things, that live in the forest. He’s heard of kelpies living in streams and wayward ponds; he’s heard of trolls who stalk through the forest looking for their next meal; he’s even heard of werewolves, men who change at will, men who must change under the full moon, taking residence up in their forests.
Of all the creatures and tales Steven has been told, the very last he expects to find, at the base of the thickest tree at the very heart of the forest, is a fairy ring.
my baby lives in shades of blue by psychdelia (1/1 | 1,250 | Teen+)
Before blue, Steve's life was dull. Lifeless.
The Secret Voice of Hidden Love by Yikes_Writes (11/11 | 22,328 | Mature)
Steve's soulmate was good with words.
Billy's soulmate was a beautiful artist.

In other words, a soulmate au where whatever is drawn on one soulmate, appears on the other.
Plenty of mutual pining and the Steve & Barb friendship for the ages.
warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, underage drinking, & drug use
talk to me by lesbianferrissbueller (1/1 | 2,904 | Teen+)
/“On your 18th birthday, on your wrist will appear the first words your soulmate will ever say to you.”/
And they always say it like that: “will ever say.”
Not has said.
Because it’s practically unheard of that you would have met your soulmate- your literal twin flame or whatever- before that.
Which is why, Steve is staring at the words on his wrist in absolute shock because either he’s heard this a million times or he’s heard it very specifically once and he doesn’t know which one it is.
/“Harrington, right?”/
Lit up like a match by nagdabbit (1/1 | 4,043 | General)
And then in swooped Lillian fucking Hargrove. Lillian with sun lightened curls and miles and miles of tanned skin. Lilly with a fight in her belly and a fire in her eyes. Billy with a mean right hook and permanent bruises that Steve was too late to identify. Billy who didn't seem to know soft or sweet or kind. Who didn't seem to know what to do with Steve, so she settled for hating him instead.
On a Friday night, in a Chicago dive, Steve meets a familiar face.
Keep me in your glow by nagdabbit (1/1 | 1,770 | General)
He was a face in a crowd, and usually he could remember that. Usually he could find comfort in that. That there was a whole world spinning on, and it didn’t revolve around him.
But some days, someone would go out of their way to let Billy know just what they thought of him. A stranger with a cruel, twisted face would come right up and spit insults and curses at him that left his hands shaking and eyes burning with a fear that he’d thought he’d left back in Hawkins
Sometimes people are dicks, and Steve makes it better by rambling.
Bruises by I_Will_Die_With_This_Ship (1/1 | 1,213 | Not Rated)
On their fifth birthday, a person would get something on them to indicate who their soulmate was. Be it a symbol, a name, an initial, or in Steve's case, a bruise.

and they lived happily ever after by pratintraining (10/10 | 14,526 | Teen+)
Ever After Inc. was a small family-owned business that dealt in organizing and facilitating fairy tale Happily Ever Afters for their clients. Owned by the Harringtons, they've built a reputation for themselves over the years in using the tiny bit of magic they have to look at a person and put them in just the right place at the right time to make good things happen for them. Their most famous service was being able to unite soulmates. As their tagline said, "It's not chance, and it's not just fate. It's Ever After." (And then came the harp that started their trademark jingle.)
Steve gets hired to find a soulmate for Princess Nancy. He tries his best, and everything works out. Rated T for some swears.
let lips do what hands do by halfofmysoul (1/1 | 7,284 | General)
In a world where soulmates are rare and cause you to see in color, Billy and Steve collide on Venice Beach when they're nine years old.

We've All Got Bruises by deansangel_cas97 (1/1 | 2,296 | Not Rated)
Steve doesn't remember the first bruises. All he remembers is that one day he was fine, and then the next morning a bright purple and yellow bruise was blossoming on his chest and a small round one on his cheek.

Open Book by tracy7307 (1/1 | 2,559 | Explicit)
When Steve was fifteen, he received a parchment, just like every fifteen-year-old did. It was about the size of a half a sheet of notebook paper, and he knew that if he pressed an inky thumbprint to it, it would reveal one simple word that would be associated heavily with his soulmate -- sometimes it was a name, sometimes an eye color, sometimes an important object to that person, or the first word they’d say to you. Sometimes there was no word at all, for those who were meant to be happiest with no romantic partner.
“Here goes nothin,” he said, and pressed his inked thumb to the parchment. His stomach swooped low and nervous as he waited for the word to form, terrified for several seconds that it might actually remain blank, but then a word appeared in faint ink and grew darker, eventually turned vivid and black in front of him.
CAMARO
If it Keeps on Rainin', Levee's Goin' to Break by shocked_into_shame (1/1 | 10,255 | Explicit)
In a world where soulmates only know they are soulmates until they kiss and the bond is sealed, Steve is afraid that he's never going to meet his missing piece.
And there's no way in hell that Billy - who makes Steve's blood boil day in and day out - could possibly be that missing piece.
No way.

i wanna be (the place you call home) by wickedlittleoz (1/1 | 2,213 | Mature)
But there were a lot of Steves in this world and Billy hardly thought he’d meet his soulmate in a shitty hole like Hawkins.
warnings: creator chose not to use archive warnings, implied/referenced suicide
My Heart Knew by LadyFrandrews (14/14 | 29,766 | Mature)
He knows his reputation isn't the best, but he's never messed around when it comes to his heart.
Before she died, his Ma spoke to him all the time about what having a soulmate meant.
But he's seen what happens when your soulmate dies and he doesn't want his. Not if it means he's going to turn into his old man. Or try to make a pretend, happy family with someone else who's lost their soulmate too.
He was doing just fine until they uprooted and replanted themselves in Hawkins.
His pendant never changed temperature until they got closer and closer to this shitty little town.
He absolutely ignored the prickling it caused underneath his skin the night at Tina's Halloween party. It's been months.
keep your heart open (i'll keep mine open too) by callunavulgari (1/1 | 7,915 | Explicit)
“Did you even like me before you found out I was your soulmate?” Billy murmurs as he kisses a line down Steve’s throat. It bobs a little under his lips as Steve swallows, and Billy can feel Steve’s fingers digging into his hips, but he isn’t pushing him away.
“I don’t even like you now,” Steve says, but it’s a little too breathless, a little too much of a lie. Billy looks at him, and presses a careful kiss to the bruise on Steve’s jaw.
Steve’s eyes are dark, and he isn’t pushing Billy away.
Billy bites down on Steve’s ear, murmurs into it, “Liar.”
warnings: child abuse, recreational drug use
You're ripped at every edge (but you're a masterpiece) by BarbarianBillyHargrove (1/1 | 4,445 | Teen+)
When Billy showed up on the Byer’s doorstep, Steve watched with a red haze as he contemplated what it meant. His first soul match had failed- or was on the way there. And his second appeared to be a mistake. He’d heard stories of one-sided soul bonds, they were messy and ended only with disaster. This is what Steve thought about when purple blended with red and he lost consciousness to his potential soulmate’s fists.

at least one of them’s in it so it’s close enough lol -cade
chosen family by safi (1/1 | 3,014 | General)
Sometimes the best family is the one that we choose, not the one we're born into.
Steve's parents never make him their priority, so when he's sick, he is left to his own devices. When Joyce finds this out, she treats him like one of her own sons and makes sure he gets the care he deserves.
Do you know a fic where it’s post-S3 and Steve gets a letter with a location (i think) and goes on a road trip with Robin and Dustin to go find Billy?

Steve goes into heat when Billy pulls up to school. Billy's the only one who can help him, or so Steve says.
The Case Where Billy Hargrove Turned Out To Be Not Your Average Alpha by Anonymous (1/1 | 3,249 | Teen+)
“I don’t spend heats with alphas.” Steve said, his gaze avoiding Billy’s.
Billy faltered at that, his brows furrowing in confusion. “I thought you’d spent your heats with people before?” Billy asked.
“Well yeah, but not with alphas.” Steve huffed.
“So— You’re a faggot?” Billy asked, his eyes widening.

Perfectly Unnatural by ImNeitherNor (1/1 | 3,255 | Explicit)
‘You’re not an alpha in this house, boy. You’re not strong. You’re not even responsible with your sister. You don’t respect Susan. I thought I taught you enough in California.’
Neil’s words clang around Billy’s skull and burn the inside of his bones as he sits on the hood of his Camaro. The metal below his ass is warm from the engine just having been turned off, but the lights still spill out across the cliff. This place, nestled at the top and shrouded by trees, catches the wind just right. The wind bites through his jean jacket, settling close to his skin. The cherry red glow of his cigarette gives a false sense of warmth and puts Billy’s teeth on edge.
‘You’re unnatural.’

One Last Time by Strawberry_Sweetheart (1/1 | 3,157 | Not Rated)
It came with a phone call late at night, just past the witching hour. It was deathly quiet and dark, a new moon withholding any moonlight to chase the shadows away, and in that silence the piercing ring of the telephone downstairs cut through their dreams. A sleepy noise and wiggle came from the lump under Billy, shifting until it escaped Billy’s arms and legs that held it hostage.

this is a requested fic for Alpha El + Billy and Steve being good parental figure types and helping her figure things out

Black silk and wild flowers by Catharrington (1/1 | 3,015 | Explicit)
Steve’s birthday was really just another day. The only thing that made it special was his fathers insistence on going to a party thrown for just him, a party filled with starving alphas with fat wallets all rutting against themselves to buy their own little omega. Steve hates what his father makes him do. Steve hates his birthday. Until Billy Hargrove crawls through his window to remind him it’s not all bad, silver lining in the clouds and shit, and brings him a present.
Drop (The Game) by MissGillette (3/3 | 42,080 | Explicit)
Billy has wanted a piece of Steve since spotting him on the school parking lot his first day. So when Steve flees the bathroom at Tina's Halloween party, distressed and about to drop, Billy does the only logical thing: follow the scent.

lately i feel like i've been losing (my mind) by ToAStranger (1/1 | 3,162 | Explicit)
Billy hasn't felt right since the summer straight out of a horror movie. His instincts are all off. And Steve Harrington keeps looking at him.
Pothos by moonflowers (1/1 | 6,714 | Explicit)
He felt like the rabbit and the fox all at once, the thrill of chasing and being chased, a circle, whole. He might’ve felt stupid about it, if it hadn’t been so intense. Robin always told him he fell for people too easy – and fine, she was right – but this was something else. Or maybe not yet, but oh man he was starting to think he wanted it to be. And it was probably idiotic of him to get his hopes up, but he couldn't help but think maybe Billy did too; watching Steve from behind a tired and quietly angry veneer, a little twist of hope just visible through the mask.
Dubious Hijinks by Corvin (1/1 | 3,998 | Teen+)
Steve needs a buffer between him and the alpha his dad picked for him. The best option he can think of is an uncooperative Billy Hargrove.
with them indiana boys (on them indiana nights) by ToAStranger (1/1 | 4,842 | Teen+)
The thing is, when Billy first saw Steve Harrington, he knew.
He grew up knowing. It was hard not to, with all of those hormones and instincts running through his fucking veins. He knew, one day, he’d run across someone that smelled so right, so fucking perfect that he’d want nothing more than to bury his face against their scent gland and breathe in until the smell becomes a taste becomes a sensation becomes--
Well. The thing is, he’s always known.
None Brighter Than Your Eyes by Doodsxd (1/1 | 9,991 | Explicit)
Sex Ed course came once again, and, for the first time, Billy listened.
He listened, because it started to match and make sense with what Max’s little troup told him over and over again.
Apparently, it was biology which dictated that omega jewelry wasn’t just a futility or decoration, or even a signal that the omega was taken. It wasn’t a trade, sex for jewelry, like Neil had taught him all his life. No: scientists had found back in the sixties that omega jewelry has a soothing effect, especially during heat, as a reminder of love and affection; something tangible and available at all times, even when no one is.

Pool Time Stress by AMemoryDelayed (1/1 | 2,610 | Explicit)
Steve's been visiting the pool pretty frequently. He can't help it when he'd been carted along that one time. He can't stand to watch Billy eye other women. It makes him regret it too, and yet. He's excited when Billy barely even moves his gaze over to him. He gives Steve the slightest of grins from where he's sat at. He doesn't make any other sign to warn him of what's to come beyond that.

And he does, just Billy’s fucking luck, because Harrington licks his lips and hoarsely goes, “I fucking knew it, fuck Hargrove, you’re in heat.”
He shudders as Harrington takes a step towards him. The tangy, warm scent of alpha has him struggling to stand upright, already slipping into the too far gone state and it’s fucking Harrington’s fault because he still won’t leave.
Better yet, he knows, he can smell the sweetness of omega, particularly herbal and saccharine like lavender and vanilla - Billy knows he smells like a girly little candle, okay - flooding the air between them. He could push Billy over and take him there, on the floor, push his face down onto the cracked, dusty concrete and fuck him stupid.

Soon like the aggression that continues to build and threaten to spill whenever another Alpha so much as glances Billy’s way. Soon like the way he’s been tenting his sheets, his slacks, his gym shorts at so much as a gentle breeze.
So when Billy texts him that morning, an eggplant emoji followed by the fire, peach, and splashing water emojis with not one but three question marks, Steve replies with Soon.

He doesn’t know what Steve is going to say, which isn’t normal because he’s a predictable kind of mess, so it makes him feel vulnerable.

you scratch my back, i'll bite yours by hoppnhorn (1/1 | 2,363 | Explicit)
Billy rushes Steve's fraternity and gets in, which sucks, only when it doesn't. Drunk Steve has a hard time staying away from what isn't good for him.
bite me, but not too hard by hoppnhorn (1/1 | 3,854 | Explicit)
Steve debates whether or not he should spend his heat tranquilized.
your teeth go deep (it seems) by hoppnhorn (1/1 | 3,554 | Explicit)
Nothing about his life, or his love life, has been simple thus far. The trend continues.
eat me (let it run down your chin) by hoppnhorn (1/1 | 2,837 | Explicit)
Billy ends things with Steve. Sorta.
Nine to five. by Fanflick (9/9 | 34,301 | Explicit)
Steve knew that everything would ultimately come to this, working for his father at a boring office job. It wasn't easy being an omega in hiding, especially now since Steve's boss is the arrogant alpha Billy Hargrove. Now Steve has to work alongside his high school rival while also trying to save enough money to get away from his father. How hard can that be?
warnings: boss/employee relationship
Drunken Things by Rhiw (3/3 | 10,566 | Explicit)
Nancy and Steve break up before Tina's party. Steve finds himself on the rebound, damned and determined to have some fun. Billy just wants to get laid.
Aka: The ABO of Stranger Things no one asked for. Written while drunk, with drunk characters, and lots of angst and smut and shit. Enjoy.
warnings: underage
what a wicked game you played (to make me feel this way) by brawls (brawlite), ToAStranger (14/14 | 119,016 | Explicit)
Billy knew Steve Harrington would ruin him. Steve knew Billy Hargrove was nothing but trouble.
turn me loose by hoppnhorn (1/1 | 3,321 | Explicit)
Billy is a dominant, powerful alpha with a slew of omegas dying to win his affection. He loves it, lives for it, except when he’s in rut. Steve is an omega and fights it every damn day. But when his body goes into heat, needs to breed, he can’t do anything to stop it. Billy is in rut and Steve is in heat when a freak heatwave knocks out the air conditioning in their shared apartment complex. Open windows and rampant hormones? What could go wrong?
Punch by hati_skoll (1/1 | 2,330 | Teen+)
Steve is dragged off by another alpha, Billy handles it.
A Start by ImNeitherNor (1/1 | 5,574 | Explicit)
The quarry was always Steve’s go to when he needed a place to breathe, an area where the smells weren’t in his face and he could think straight. It was strange how one person’s heat could trigger another. Steve, a slightly cowed alpha after Hargrove rolled in, was done with the overpowering scents and the looks that were being thrown around.
He wasn’t interested in any of it. None.
So, when he pulled up onto the edge of the quarry and stepped out, he almost groaned at the smell that hit him. An omega. An omega in heat. Fuck. This is exactly what he had hoped to get away from. He was ready to slide back in and yank his car in reverse when he looked up and saw, exactly, what car was sitting to the side, shaded by an overcast of trees. If he hadn’t actually looked, it would have slipped away. He blamed his sharper senses, his need to search out the omega.

Steve gets wet for Billy.
(Less porn inside than implied.)
Hold Me Tight Or Don't by BTSBlossom (1/1 | 4,808 | General)
Billy has some news for Steve, he just doesn't know how to tell him. At least he knows he's got Ms. Byers on his side. She'll be there for Billy if Steve isn't.

Wrap Me Up (In Your Love) by LadyMoonveil (1/1 | 1,254 | Teen+)
In which Steve keeps stealing Billy's clothes, and Billy is terrified of the implications when he comes to the realization that Steve is nesting.
After everything that Steve has done for him, all Billy wants to do is be good to his mate. (Even if it means adding things to his wardrobe that sadly isn't denim or leather).

sandman by Rebldomakr (1/1 | 2,226 | Explicit)
Steve’s not a fighter. He sucks at it, actually. He’s a little soft, but he isn’t totally weak or awfully tiny. He’s a good Alpha in many of the ways that count! Just because he isn’t running around sleeping with anyone willing, picking fights, and beating people to death doesn’t mean he’s a bad Alpha. And though Billy might do all that, but he isn't a bad Omega.

baby, I’m bad news by skoosiepants (1/1 | 22221 | mature)
“Hargrove?” Steve keeps a healthy ten feet between them, well out of arm’s reach. “You okay?”
Billy doesn’t move. Steve almost considers inching closer when he finally says, “Yeah, Harrington. Just peachy.” His voice is thick and low, and Steve wonders just how long he’s been standing out here like a crazy person.
or–
Steve has no idea what to do with Billy Hargrove.
or–
The Harry Potter AU where Steve fucks up a lot and Billy doesn’t know how to use his words, but everyone eventually gets their shit together.
Marine Sh*t by Dariary_Absentee (1/1 | 1362 | teen)
Billy is a Gryffindor with a bad temper. Steve is a Hufflepuff just trying to get by. It’s been a few years since they talked to each other…and maybe that’s for the best.
amortentia by moonlight_xx (1/1 | 31423 | teen)
From Ilvermorny to Hawkins to Hogwarts, Billy Hargrove is the bane of Steve Harrington’s existence–and also probably the love of his life, according to a palm reading during fifth year Divination class.
(or, a Harry Potter AU in modern day cause I wanted it.)
On Snogging Steve Harrington by ohmybgosh (1/1 | 2819 | teen)
Billy and Steve have a library date AKA my attempt at a Hogwarts AU
For the Nights by moonflowers (1/1 | 3891 | teen)
Ever since Billy’d transferred to Hogwarts in third year, the two of them had been at each other’s throats, taken any excuse to rile each other up. Though, in the spirit of full disclosure, Billy had definitely been the one who’d started it. Something about him had crawled up Billy’s nose and he’d just never been able to drop it, which in turn ruffled Steve’s feathers and made him snarl and snap at Billy. But he wasn’t even sure there was genuine dislike underneath it anymore, just habit. Habit and an embarrassing need for King Steve’s undivided attention. The one redeeming factor was that he knew Steve was just as into needling him as it was the other way around; he got the same little sharp grin when they got into it as Billy did. And now they were in seventh year, and he didn’t know any different than pretending to hate Steve Harrington.
Do you happen to know this one Harringrove fic where Steve and Robin are watching a movie and eating popcorn, then Steve asks Robin how she knew that she liked girls. And Robin was explaining to him, which had him go thru a bisexual crisis. B/c he realizes that he’s into Billy??? And Robin says that it’s okay to like both. But in this fic Billy’s still dead. So Steve is confessing to Robin that he likes a dead guy and never got to tell him :(
sounds kind of like this one? but not exactly?? let us know if this isn’t it and i’ll look again -madi

do y'all know of any where they're already together, and the party or hopper is suspicious of it, and finds them out? sorry i'm it's too specific:-)
here are a couple i was able to find! hopefully they’re what ur looking for (: -madi
Something Weird by moonflowers (1/1 | 4517 | teen)
"Guys," he said, yanking open the door to squash himself onto the backseat with Max and Lucas, "guys, we have an emergency."The other three had his attention immediately, wide-eyed and waiting for what he had to say next. "Upside Down stuff?" said Max."Is it El?" Lucas asked."Is everyone okay?" Will asked, twisted around in the front seat."Steve has a girlfriend."
Or: Five kids who try to figure out who Steve's 'secret girlfriend' is, and one kid who already knows.
something soft and soaked in pain by theproblematicgay (2/2 | 9957 | mature)
She never asks about why he stays at Steve’s most nights. She’s 95% sure she doesn’t need to ask, though.Billy would get this whole other look on his face when Steve wasn’t looking. It was soft, something that felt out of place on Billy, but in a good way; hopeful.
“Are they-?” Will hesitates, as if looking for the right word. “Are they-?” He pauses again, and gives up after a moment.
“So you see it too, right?” She grins.
the kids are alright by Philosoferre (1/1 | 6039 | teen)
Dustin tries to get a peek, but Steve pushes him away. “Ooh, is that your secret girlfriend?” He asks, making gross cooing noises.
Steve’s head snaps up, his fingers frozen on his phone screen. “What?”
-
The kids were never supposed to think Steve has a secret girlfriend. Because he doesn’t. That’s the problem, actually. He has a secret boyfriend, and it’s Billy fucking Hargrove.
here’s a few experiment!billy fics i found (: -madi
Not So Different by writingishard (camisadomg) (8/8 | 29338 | mature)
"That was the thing about Hawkins, Indiana. It wasn't special. At least, not in the ways that the kids all thought it was, the whole city in general seeming to hang under a dark cloud of... wrong. But Hawkins, Indiana was not alone in its obscurity. There were places just like it all over the United States, where lab experiments go wrong and children pay the price. Even somewhere on the other side of the country, an exotic place like California, had its own experiments."
As Above, So Below by glasscherrry (6/? | 22352 | explicit)
It's 1994. The gang reunite in Hawkins to aid in the search for Eleven. They fear that their nightmares may be realized. That the shadow looming over Hawkins has returned.
For the first time in years, Steve finds himself back in Hawkins. Only, to encounter teenage bully and aggressor turned cold-blooded murderer: Billy Hargrove.
Steve is hesitant to trust him. But, he soon begins realizes that things are not as they seem. Billy may be their only key to finding answers, and finding Eleven - before its too late.
I guess this means we're going places. by dawnofmandanceparty (17/? | 23583 | teen)
When Billy comes back to Hawkins, he doesn't have a home.
I read this amazing piece on AO3 where Neil bites Steve and turns him into a werewolf and Billy kinda coaches him through his transition and naturally they bond. The climax has Billy finding out about demodogs when Steve saves him from a pack of them. Does this ring any bells for anybody?! I could swear I bookmarked it but alas I didn’t 😭
(in the future we’d greatly appreciate asks instead of submissions!)
ive checked a handful of tags and i can’t seem to find it :’) if anyone seeing this post happens to know what fic this is feel free to link it -cade
hey. a while ago i found a fic where steve gets kidnapped by the government and billy takes the blame first, buts its only bcs him and steve have had a secret relationship and then billy + the party try to find and save steve? also it involves an iconic scene were billy beats up steves dad.
here are a couple that sound like that -cade
Gone without a trace. by pizzz_10 (10/? | 16,362 | Explicit)
two boys went missing in the town of Hawkins. One left on his 18th birthday to go back to sunny California and the other one vanished with out a trace, no body knew where he went.The town of Hawkins didn’t seem too worry, they we’re probably fine, right?
Behind it All by SaltyDumplings (22/? | 103,105 | Mature)
When Steve Harrington goes missing Hopper and the rest of The Party are hell-bent on getting him back, but the investigation leads them to find out a lot more about their favourite babysitter than they could have ever imagined...
