⭐ STRANGER THINGS A/B/O AU — LORE BIBLE (80s Small-Town Hawkins Edition)

No monsters. No Upside Down. Just a small town full of complicated dynamics, scents, crushes, stereotypes, and shifting relationships.

🌙 WORLD RULES & SETTING

📍 Setting

• Hawkins, Indiana, mid-1980s • A quiet American small town: roller rinks, video stores, diners, malls, woods, high school drama, and complicated pack dynamics.

📘 A/B/O SYSTEM (AU-SPECIFIC)

To keep things consistent: Alphas • Stronger scent projection • Protective instincts • Can be territorial (not always aggressive) • Traditional stereotypes exist, especially among older generations Betas • “Normal” scent and hormone levels • Do not go through heats/ruts • Often mediators, socially flexible Omegas • Sensitive scent profiles • Can nest, comfort others • Sometimes face stereotypes (especially in the 80s)

📜 Social Structure (Hawkins Style)

• Mixed households with different genders are normal. • Heats/ruts are private and medically managed at home. • Schools and families enforce outdated 80s “gender norms” that many characters rebel against. • Pack bonds exist but are informal: friend groups often feel like mini-packs.
