LAURA FAIRER HAS A SECRET. In a town like Hawkins, Indiana, where practically everyone knows everyone, that's a dangerous thing. Gossip spreads like wildfire. Dull weekdays are interpolated by teenagers scavenging for anything to lift their lackluster spirits. Like bloodhounds on a trial, they latch onto any bit of scandal they can catch wind of.

So Laura tries painfully hard to appear normal. She has a perfectly normal set of friends — Barbara Holland and Nancy Wheeler — and a perfectly normal job at a local diner. She'd had her first kiss with a boy during a game of spin the bottle at thirteen. She brushes off questions about her dating life with excuses that she's focusing on her studies.

But the clock is ticking. And each time she finds it nearly impossible to tear her longing gaze away from Nancy before she notices feels like it's tick-tocking closer to her inevitable doom.

The mediocrity of Hawkins is disrupted with the disappearance of Will Byers, a friend of Nancy's younger brother. It's strange enough for their sleepy little town. People rarely go missing. People rarely vanish from thin air. So when the search for Will drags an unlikely gang of people down a rabbit hole of supernatural secrets, Laura realizes that her Midwestern city is anything but ordinary.

It quickly becomes obvious that there are more things that people do in the shadows than pine after their oblivious best friend.

most people: *posting steve or eddie fics for seasons 3+*

me: anyways here's my unrequited love "nancy fic" set in season 1 :)

welcome to kristyn writing a fic for yet another fandom that she hasn't taken a crack at before and is therefore scared and intimidated. i literally have only read Iydiamartin's "static" (because it's a masterpiece and thorn dillon-holman is my angsty son) in terms of other fanfics, so i'm in uncharted territory here.

i'm really excited for this story and i hope you guys enjoy it!!
