A Stranger Things Fanfic Trigger warning: mentions of child abuse and alcoholism Prologue Dr. Martin Brenner was a patient man. When Project MKUltra produced less than desirable results, he continued working, altering the conditions and carefully recording every result in books upon books, files upon files, until he began to notice patterns. When he discovered the children of his test subjects tended to develop abilities more similar to 001’s than their parents, he altered the job description to target young women and waited.

Part 4 of the Their Year (‘86, Baby) series A Stranger Things Fanfic The Cunningham house was often quiet–the calm before a storm. The Munson trailer, on the other hand, was quiet in a calm, peaceful way (well, when Eddie wasn’t blasting his music), and Chrissy liked it. She liked it far more than she ever would have imagined when she visited that first night. Now that she was on Christmas break from college, she spent most of her days at the trailer, enjoying being home.

Part 3 of the Their Year (‘86, Baby) series A Stranger Things Fanfic Music could fix anything. That had always been Eddie’s motto, even before he had watched it save two people’s lives. Music had helped as he adjusted to a usually-empty trailer in a new town. Music had taken the place of friends for a couple years, then helped him find friends. Music helped drown out the things he didn’t want or need to think about, and music would definitely help him stop worrying for a few minutes.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Trigger warning: mentions of abuse and eating disorders Chrissy’s mom didn’t speak to her when she came down for breakfast the next day. She handed her the small plate without meeting her eyes and turned back to the stove. Chrissy joined Brian at the table without a word. He glanced up at their mom, then quickly turned back to his food. Chrissy had finished eating and was in the middle of washing her dishes when someone knocked on the door.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Trigger warning: mentions of abuse and eating disorders Victor Creel’s house, in the dark, late at night, was a terrifying place to be, but Chrissy reminded herself that at least she wasn’t in the Upside-Down. She took a steadying breath as she crept around alone, on socked feet and clutching a blue lantern. Music ran through her headphones, and she clung to the lyrics like a lifeline.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Back in the Upside-Down was the last place Eddie wanted to be, but there he was, reinforcing the wrong version of his trailer with Dustin, screwing in metal plates, propping up ladders, and wrapping wire fencing around it. He found his guitar (the only good part of this freaky shadow-realm was that it made it even more metal), and he and Dustin carried it and the amp up to the roof.

A Stranger Things Fanfic When they got to the War Zone (Chrissy had a hard time not giggling every time someone mentioned the name), Steve, Robin, Nancy, and Max climbed out of the RV. Erica stood up as well. “I’m coming too!” Steve stared at her for a second, then shrugged and gestured for her to follow. “Okay.” The others settled in to wait. Chrissy sat with Lucas at the table, fiddling with the Walkman.

A Stranger Things Fanfic “Before we do anything, we need another Walkman.” Harrington hadn’t stopped staring at Wheeler since she’d woken up, and Eddie was fairly certain he would have to physically restrain him from robbing someplace if the others didn’t hurry up and make some sort of plan. As soon as Wheeler had woken from her trance, they had moved to Mayfield’s trailer in case the police or the basketball team showed back up, but Harrington seemed to find even that delay unbearable.

A Stranger Things Fanfic “I don’t like this,” Robin said, pacing as Nancy tapped a pen on a still-empty notebook. “I mean, how much do we know about the Upside-Down, really?” She glanced at Steve, Nancy, and the three freshmen. “You say you’ve all been there before?” “Well . . . only for a little while, and we were underground the whole time,” Dustin said. Nancy frowned. “I wasn’t underground, but I was just there for a couple minutes.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Eddie woke to a loud knocking on the front door. He nearly fell on top of Dustin, who was also scrambling up. His heart pounded in time to the knocking, and he tried to think how he could manage to get him and the kid out of the house without the cops spotting them. “We forgot the password, but let us in.” Harrington’s sarcastic voice came through the door, and Eddie relaxed, though he huffed a sigh and fell back onto the bed.
