Summary
Eddie Munson never thought he’d see anyone from Hawkins again, least of all Chrissy Cunningham.
But two years and two thousand miles later, he shows up at her coffee stand like no time has passed at all—except everything’s different. They're not in high school anymore. And neither of them remembers exactly how things ended between them the first time.

Summary
Okay, so, he didn’t like Chrissy Cunningham. That would be fucking ridiculous. The gorgeous, eternally-out-of-everyone’s-league cheerleader and the super senior burnout? Even without the existence of her hairline fracture of a boyfriend, Eddie wasn’t obtuse enough to daydream about their shared school experience becoming anything akin to a John Hughes film, alright?
or
Eddie and Chrissy lie to themselves.

Summary
Eddie never was a planner, but his new life necessitates having some idea of where he’s going, and when he’ll get there. He’d like to think that makes him more mature, but he’s still flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to the big picture. Getting his CDL was a way to escape Hawkins. To see the country, even if he’s mostly seeing long, lonely stretches of interstate in between depots.
There are bright spots. Hazy desert sunrises that make him want to write a sad song, and the occasional free evening to take in a show, meet some locals. Follow a pretty girl to her apartment if she’ll have him.
Most of the time, though, life comprises shitty diner burgers and far too little sleep. It's a lonely existence, but it suits him fine, until the night a strawberry-blonde ponytail at a gas station in Kentucky stops him in his tracks.

Stunning. Lovely. They both have so much growth from the first chapter to the last, it's truly beautiful. And oh, eat your heart out there's so much Wayne Munson content <3

Summary
Eddie’s eyes light up, and then he — licks — her hand. “Ew,” she says, immediately jerking back from his mouth and wipes her wet hand on his shirt. “You’re gross.”
“Am I?” he asks. His voice is light, teasing, but his expression wavers, brief as a flickering candle.
“No,” she whispers. “I think you’re really cool, actually.”

Most wonderfully unique take on Chrissy as a character! She's so goofy and awkward and funny — and I adore it/her! These two were written in the stars and there's simply no getting around that. They're perfect together <3

Summary
He may have died, but there would never be another Chrissy Cunningham looking down on him from the ceiling of his uncle’s trailer. And, as he closed his eyes for the last time, he was not haunted by her eyeless sockets and silently screaming jaw, as he had been every time he blinked since the day he watched her die.
Instead, all he saw was her bright smile and the way her eyes glimmered in the afternoon sun that day in the woods.
And then––
He woke up.or
Eddie Munson dies in the Upside Down. He wakes up in bed.
