Summary
***Formally "The Call of Ktulu and the Song of Storge"***
Storge (στοργή): Natural, familial love; the deep instinctual love between family members
Eddie Munson thought he knew how his final senior year would go, but everything changed when a class project with Chrissy Cunningham sets off a chain of events that lands him face-first in the middle of Hawkins' supernatural war. And then there’s Steve, a merman bound to the sea by a force only a true love’s kiss can break. He never meant to get involved with a bunch of land-walking kids, let alone become their protector in a fight he doesn’t fully understand.
When a storm crashes their worlds together, Eddie and Steve find themselves on opposite sides of the shore but fighting for the same thing: the people they love.
TL;DR: A S4 retelling with found family, grief, merman lore, themes of identity, platonic true love, and Steve Harrington absolutely not coping with being a merman
(Chapters 1-7 edited, but all chapters are posted. I'm just cleaning up the flow)
