    In 1984, Eddie stumbles upon the tender moment between Steve and Nancy that night at Lover’s Lake.

    Or: Eddie as Max’s stepbrother instead of Billy!
    Canon divergent in terms of relationships, semi-canon-compliant in terms of Upside Down. We start by following Eddie's (and Max’s) home life and events that lead up to their move to Hawkins in October 1984, the year in which King Steve's reign starts dwindling.

    Summary

    After defeating Vecna, Eddie settles into life surrounded by suspicion and judgement. The government agents who covered up the Vecna Event, even intimated that they'll be able to give the Munson some compensation for their troubles. But that doesn't mean that life is easy when everyone in town still thinks Eddie killed Chrissy Cunningham. The only solace Eddie finds is in the new, blossoming friendship he's found with Steve Harrington. But as the pair get closer over the summer of '86, Eddie can't shake the knowledge that one day, maybe soon, that call is going to come, and he and Wayne will be given an impossible choice - stay and try to get by, or leave and start anew.

    Summary

    Realization #1: Steve is wearing a costume. He’s dressed as Springsteen on the cover of Born In The U.S.A. The album cover is staring at Eddie from the stack of records by the speakers, and he flicks his eyes between the cover and Steve, almost laughing at how obvious the resemblance is.

    Immediately after that, revelations two and three slam into him like an eighteen-wheeler.

    #2: Bruce Springsteen is kind of hot.

    #3: Steve Harrington is really hot.

    A fourth and much louder thought echoes through Eddie’s brain: oh, shit.

    (Many months ago, I wrote a tumblr post about Steve Harrington being a Bruce Springsteen enjoyer. This fic is about that.)

    Summary

    [Audio Length: 9:54]

    “Bring me the Joker’s head on a platter,” Jason says, and he doesn’t mean anything by it, not really. It’s the kind of thing he jokes about when he’s overwhelmed, and he’s overwhelmed by Tim a lot. Tim’s intensity makes Jason turn flippant, makes him counterweigh the seriousness with comments about his own torture and death, like that will somehow lighten the mood.

    Jason says all kinds of things, for all kinds of reasons. He doesn’t expect anyone to listen.
