Stranger Fiction - Episode 3 - This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Timelines by Ursula_Henderson
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
02 Mar 2025

Summary
The past feels like a half-remembered song, its verses discordant yet familiar. Ursula Henderson’s arrival in 1986 Hawkins was violent, her mission clear: stop Vecna. But time travel proved messier than expected. She landed too late to save Chrissy and scrambled to adapt, gaining trust by sharing letters from the future. Dustin believed her immediately, while others, like Nancy and Eddie, remained hesitant. Through strategy, shared vulnerability, and music, she forged bonds that became the foundation of their survival.
As Vecna’s influence grew, Max became his primary target. Ursula fought to protect her, using music as a lifeline. But the real cracks weren’t in the timeline—they were in Ursula. Haunted by a future ruined by Vecna, she struggled to stay present. Her connection with Eddie deepened, an intoxicating mix of camaraderie and longing.
The Party is battered but determined. Survival isn’t enough anymore. They have to win. And Vecna? He’s watching. Waiting. Tightening his grip on the timeline.

Summary
Ursula Henderson, the 21-year-old daughter of Dustin Henderson and Susie Bingham, arrives in 1986 from a dystopian 2024 with a mission: save Eddie Munson and Max Mayfield while stopping Vecna.

To gain the Party’s trust, Ursula relies on future letters and key knowledge, forging bonds, especially with Eddie. She takes charge, using music and strategy to shield Max from Vecna, but her interference causes unpredictable shifts.

Stranger Fiction - Episode 6 - So Nice, We Screwed it Up Twice! by Ursula_Henderson

Summary
When Ursula Henderson crash-landed into 1986 Hawkins, she thought she was just here to save a few lives and tweak a timeline or two. Instead, she walked into a full-blown apocalypse, a growing obsession from Vecna, and—somehow—a relationship with Eddie Munson, the metalhead bard of her dreams. Vecna’s curse began with Chrissy Cunningham’s brutal death, dragging Eddie into hiding and straight onto Hawkins’ Most Wanted list. Ursula’s arrival complicated everything, but between future knowledge and terrifying powers, she won most of the gang over. The plan? Stop Vecna from merging the Upside Down with the real world. (No pressure.) Meanwhile, Eleven faced military choppers, psychic traps, and Papa, who refused to stay dead. Susie, Eden, and a van full of chaos goblins hacked their way toward answers—with a lot of dogs and zero adult supervision. And halfway across the world, Joyce, Hopper, and Murray turned a Russian prison break into the most unhinged rescue mission of the decade. But Ursula? She’s personal. She came here to save Eddie—and somehow, he’s already saving her.

Summary
Hawkins is unraveling. Eddie Munson fell beneath a swarm of demobats, sacrificing himself for a world that never understood him. But death wasn’t the end—not this time. Ursula arrived in a blaze of golden light, obliterating the swarm and dragging Eddie back from the void. Their reunion was raw, desperate—and costly. Her shadow armor died. Vecna noticed.
As Hopper and Joyce defied Soviet brutality and Eleven battled Vecna in the psychic trenches, Ursula’s explosion turned the tide—but not the war. Now, trust is splintering, the timelines are fraying, and the smallest slivers of hope are all that remain. Eddie is alive, but haunted. Ursula is unraveling. Vecna is wounded—but watching.
The fate of Hawkins—and of every timeline—hangs in the balance. And not everyone will walk away unscathed.

Stranger Fiction - Episode 8 (Part 1) - The Hellfire Family Reunion by Ursula_Henderson
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Time was never on Ursula Henderson’s side. She came from a future gutted by loss, armed with letters from the dead and powers she never asked for. She was sent back to Hawkins with one job: Save Eddie Munson. Save Max Mayfield. Stop Vecna before the world tore itself apart. But nothing in Hawkins is simple.
She landed in 1986 like a grenade—messy, loud, impossible to ignore. The Party didn’t know what to make of her. Neither did she. Trust was slow, timelines fragile, and somewhere between battles, grief, and dodging consequences, she met Eddie Munson. Not the myth. Just Eddie. And that was the problem.
Saving him wasn’t just part of the mission—it became the mission. When death came, she rewrote fate with golden light and sheer defiance, pulling him back no matter what it cost her. And it cost her plenty. Her powers cracked. Her defenses shattered.
Now the lines between fate and reality are stitched together with stubbornness and reckless hope. But in the quiet spaces—the ones stolen between battles—they found each other. Not as a girl from the future and the boy she saved, but as two people who never stood a chance of walking away clean.
Some things are bigger than fate. Family is one of them.Series

IR-01 Survival Journal - Ursula Henderson 2019 by Ursula_Henderson
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
14 May 2025
Tags
Summary
Written in 2019 by Ursula Henderson, age sixteen and a half. This survival journal spans over eight months trapped inside IR-01—the Upside Down. Abducted without warning by the Abyssal Warden, Ursula escaped immediate death using her shadowstep ability, but was left completely alone in a nightmare version of Hawkins frozen in 1984. These entries document her fight to stay alive—facing starvation, hallucinations, hostile fauna, psychic anomalies, and the creeping dread of isolation. The final entry ends just before her capture by Vecna, who held her prisoner for 64 more days in the Creel structure before she was rescued—not by a strike team or a scientist, but by her dog, Bahamutt. This journal is raw, foul-mouthed, brilliant, and brutal. It is not a record of heroism. It is a record of survival.
