Summary
In 1986, the world was saved by a ragtag group of misfits. After the dust settled and the town healed, the unsung heroes of Hawkins started trickling out and chasing their dreams. Before he knew it, Eddie was the last one left. A high school dropout, gay virgin, littered with scars and trauma, with no means to get out and nowhere to go. He resigns himself to a life of solitude and his right hand.
Twenty years later, and nothing has changed. Until Hawkins' prodigal son returns. Recently divorced, openly queer, and bringing back all the feelings that Eddie had for him when the world was ending. He survived hell. Can he survive reuniting with Steve Harrington?
