These feelings are crushing Max to pieces, and she doesn't know what to do about it.

New Feeling - An Elmax ship story by mymilio

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH TO 2k READS OMGAJANEHWHZ<333 . --------------------- Abt the story~ At any other normal sleep over, something lights up in El. something almost electric. She doesn't know yet that max is feeling it too. Now it wouldn't matter how many days they spent apart, the other girl would somehow always run through their head, to the point where it's frustrating not to see the other person. With help by new friends and possibly lying maybe they find out they wanna be a little more than just friends? POSSIBLE TW: • Mention of homophobia! (Nothing too bad but still) • it's very cringe in the first chapters (and all of them really...) (18,916 words)

Becoming Max by Jo_Harris

❝I never thought I'd be the kind of person who could fall for her best friend. But El isn't just any best friend - she's the girl who saved my life, who sees the real me even when I'm trying to hide.❞ After surviving Vecna's attack, Max Mayfield is done pretending. With a new haircut, a new style, and two amazing gay "big sisters" in Robin and Nancy, she's finally ready to be herself. There's just one problem: she's hopelessly falling for El. Between dealing with her mom's stint in rehab, learning to accept herself, and trying not to completely freak out every time El smiles at her, Max is having one hell of a year. But maybe, just maybe, being different isn't the worst thing in the world. After all, normal is boring in Hawkins, right? A story about finding yourself, falling in love, and realizing that sometimes the best families are the ones we choose. ✧ A Stranger Things fanfic ✧ Elmax ✧ LGBTQ+ ✧ Coming of age

You Make Me Feel Safe by Jay_Harley_Writes

♡♡♡Nancy looks back up at Robin, their gazes meeting again. "I think when I finally acknowledged that there was a part of me that definitely liked you more than as a friend was when... when you helped me when I was... targeted and possessed by Vecna. And afterwards you were the first person to hug me and embrace me and I remember being surprised but quickly wishing that I could be like that forever because I felt safe in your arms. You made me feel safe and okay"♡♡♡ ♡~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♡ ♡I HAVE finished S4 Vol.2 already but this fanfic will continue to pretend it never happened after a 'fake' ending, if that makes sense. So no Vol.2 spoilers only Vol.1♡ ♡I do NOT proof read haha so if you notice anything that definitely needs fixing feel free to let me know! I just wing it and have faith in my writing even though most of the writing is done past midnight lmao♡ ♡Basis of this fic: Robin is Autistic and gets comfort from Nancy who helps her in a moment and then they both admit they like each other. Everything goes on from there. Mostly just fluff!! Likely no smut and hopefully no angst either :3♡ ♡Enjoy the Ronance content!!!♡

I Was Made For Lovin' You (A Steddie Fic) by 0bsessednerd

After the Vecna's end, Eddie and Steve are still struggling to adjust to normal life. Steve is convinced something is coming after them, and Eddie is still dealing with the aftermath of being accused to be a murderer. With their new friendship being the only thing to keep them from completely falling apart, the boys start to feel things they never excepted. Their friendship takes a new turn after Steve comes up with an idea to get them both out of their current state, take the other one to do their favorite things. What could go wrong? This is a fanfic from the show stranger things, there will be season four spoilers. Since the show hasn't ended, and I just finished Vol two, this will not be canon accurate. I started writing before Vol two came out and I'm staying with my plot rather than follow the rest of the show. This is a happy ending fic so don't worry. All rights to Netflix and the Duffer Brothers. There will be background ships. Going to be triggering, everything show accurate. There is adult content specifically smut with some different kinks. There's content warnings for every chapter that has smut involved, but not kinks listed. I might go back and put those in too after I finish writing the fic. Content and Trigger warnings listed every chapter. Also on A03

🚲Behind That Fake Smile💔ZodiacTheSpringer by ZodiacTheSpringer

(DISCONTINUED TO REWRITE) You would've thought that Will had finally been saved from the controlling grasp of the Mind Flayer... But you were wrong. After The Mind Flayer was defeated, Vecna, a more blood thirsty villain took over the brain of Will. Will struggled to control Vecna's control and managed to do so well through a few months. But as Will's love for Mike became stronger, he was caught at a weak spot where Vecna could take him easy peasy. Only one person can save him now... And that's Mike. (Story and names were not thought of by myself. Stranger things belongs to duffer brothers/Netflix) Going back over an editing any mistakes and the story structure once finished so please excuse any spelling mistakes!

It's Not Three Inches With You by Mascara_Monster10

THESE CHARACTERS ARE OWNED BY THE DUFFER BROTHERS AND NETFLIX I DO NOT CLAIM TO OWN ANY OF THEM AND OR OTHER IDEAS *All credits go to the artist of the piece I used for the cover* Set around Season 3 of Stranger Things, It's Not Three Inches With You is a sapphic romance between El and Max. El has her powers, Hopper and Billy are alive, the mall is still there and the Upside Down exists but there are no supernatural issues per se (yay). Hawkins, Indiana. 1985. El Hopper has spent her entire life never really knowing who she is. She was taken from her mother and forced to live inside a lab as a human test experiment until the age of eleven due to her psychokinetic abilities. After escaping, she made friends and found a family, as well as saving the world a couple times too. Now she's almost fourteen and she's living the teenage dream that she deserves. She's finally free of her annoying boyfriend Mike and she's got a new best friend Max. Max is outgoing and fun and everything El wants to be. She's also...really pretty. As the summer spirals out of control and the two become even closer friends than before, will they find something more than friendship? And if they do...what does that mean?

Uptown Girl (An Elmax AU) by DartHenderson

Eleven Hopper hated Max Mayfield. Max Mayfield hated Mike Wheeler. No one knew why they hated them so deeply, they just did. When the Summer of 1985 rolled around and Eleven showed up on her self-proclaimed enemy's doorstep asking for advice and hoping to find answers, everything would change. Little did either girl know, that they were looking for answers to the same question: why am I so happy with her when I'm supposed to be with him? Also Available on Quotev and AO3 (DartHenderson)

One and Only (Byler) by itstoatallyplatonic

Since we were all so wrongfully robbed of Byler in season 4, I've made the executive decision to write this. ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ ♡︎ What the hell do you do when you've fallen hard for your best friend? And if it all seemed hopeless before, he has a girlfriend, and most definitely isn't into guys. But what if he is, what if he feels the same way? But what happens when the world is falling apart around you, and it's up to you, and your nerdy friends, to save it? Cover art by Noodles_and_Tea (on TikTok). Lover her <3! Will and Mike are both 16 here, but will get older towards the end. (Story set in Hawkins, Indiana).

So this is love? ~ Elmax by bitchinzoomer

After the death of Billy Max turned to Eleven for support. As did Eleven with the disappearance of her dad, Hopper. They were together almost everyday. They grew closer and they felt safe when they were together. Lucas, Max her boyfriend and Mike, eleven her boyfriend, were concerned about their relationship since the girls never hang out with them anymore. Life started to feel normal again until Joyce announced that they were moving. TO CALIFORNIA. Eleven and Will would be separated from the group. Eleven would be away from her boyfriend, Mike. But also- Away from her best friend Max. The first few weeks were hard. Eleven wrote Mike every day since she felt out of place and lonely. Signing it with - Love, El. Since that was the only thing getting her through this change. But Eleven noticed that she wrote to Mike- but didn't really miss him that much. The one constantly on her mind was...Max. This story is based on Stranger Things, but is not completely accurate to the show. This story happened after season 3, but some details are different. So be aware that some information in this story is made up and isn't accurate to the show now. <3 Hope you enjoy!

Ao3 story (Why would you ever kiss me) by bigpookie789

Dont mind this I was trying to read a book on ao3 but I like Wattpads layout better so I copied amd pasted full credit goes to @aghostlybreath This story is about When Eleven saves Will from Vecna she gets more than she bargained for when they wake up in the wrong bodies. Now to prevent Vecna from infiltrating the mind of his most perfect host the two of them must pretend to be the other. Will grapples with the feelings that he's trying to push away. Mike wonders why it feels like he's falling in love all over again. What will become of everything when Hawkins finally falls?

𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 • byler by slvtforswift

this story is based on the song heather by conan gray, in which will is jealous of mike and eleven's relationship because he has a crush on mike. will believes mike will never like him back because mike is straight, but what if will is wrong and mike isn't straight? this story takes place during season three. it will be similar, but not exact. only certain events will be accurate to the actual show, but it'll mostly be stuff that i make up. 🛑 i do not own any of the characters from the actual show or any of the plot from the actual show! the things i do own is the plot that i make up or any oc's that could potentially be added!🛑 ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ swears and/or slurs WILL be used in this story ONLY because the 80's were a very homophobic time, so i apologize in advance if anyone is hurt by it. i myself am part of the LGBTQ+ community, so i can completely understand if you get upset.

Meet Me By The Swings by alexandco088

After the events of Vecna, Will Byers and Mike Wheeler have grown closer than ever before.

When you find yourself: byler by Goofy-Ah-Fics

When Mike goes to California to surprise Will and El for spring break he instead discovers things about himself. As a teenager the struggle between love and friendship is so hard to find. Especially if your true love is your best friend... Contains some language, homophobic language in the chapter "bad dreams again" (This story takes place with no vecnea in Hawkins or need for El to have powers.)

Trust -|- An Elmax Story by silversvfx

Max being in her life now could change that. Eleven can't be in love with Max, though. Girls liking girls is not a common phenomenon in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. But Max is determined to get Eleven to love her. She's always wanted love and she thought she had it before, but it didn't feel right with her boyfriend. Now, Eleven is faced with the decision of having a girlfriend and being bullied, a best friend and keeping her boyfriend happy, or an enemy. Eleven doesn't have powers in this. She's just an average tenth-grade girl with Max as her enemy. Best ranking: #8 in elevenhopper
