    Summary

    Fifteen years after Benson’s killing spree, the world has moved on. The state police claim he’s dead, and no one besides Randy has ever disagreed with them.

    Freshly divorced, dissatisfied with life and staring down the barrel of a mid-life crisis, Randy realizes that for him, there’s no moving on without knowing – he needs to find out what really happened to Benson, no matter how painful the truth may be.

    Summary

    No time to lose her head about this. Deep breath in through her nose. She could swear she smelled blood. “I don’t know what’s happening here, but your sister and all of her friends are in the living room, and-“

    “What the fuck, Randy, you have a sister?” Benson said under his breath.

    It wasn’t smart to snap at the strange man in her house. Stef couldn’t help it. “That’s the language you’re going to use around my eleven-year-old?”

    What if Randy's mom loved Benson as much as Randy did?

    Summary

    It's not late, but it's late enough that when his phone rings, Benson raises an eyebrow. People don't call him. Or, the people who do call him don't have any business calling him right now.

    Benson unplugs his phone from the charger by the dresser, and squints at the screen. The scrolling letters say, Bradley (work). He sighs. Maybe he dialed by accident, meant to call someone else and hit Benson's name instead. Who is Bradley trying to call on a Friday night?

    When he picks up, Bradley says, "Hi, um. Sorry for calling. I was wondering if I could ask for a favor? I'm sort of stuck, and I need a ride, and I didn't know who else to call."

    Summary

    If anyone asks, Evan started it. Sure, Tommy might have pushed it towards undeniably something they have to explore right now immediately, but Evan was the one who looked at him like that, who raised his eyebrows and took a sip of his wine with a little cheeky grin and a suggestive, “But you think I do?”

    The only thing that Tommy can manage to say is the blatant, vulnerable truth. “God, I hope so.”

    Evan pauses at the painful earnestness of Tommy’s voice, but doesn’t start anything else. Tommy tries not to feel too disappointed—joking about it, actively fantasizing, and participating in a kink are three entirely different beasts, and Tommy would know. So, he quietly mourns the mental image of Evan on his knees, eyes big and eager, saying, “Please, daddy?” and he has a lovely dinner with his handsome boyfriend. Spending time with Evan is easy, after all; so in the end, it’s really no hardship.

    Summary

    "Hello? Ed, is that you? What's all that noise? What's going on?"

    "Wayne, can you come pick me up ... I’m at a party at the Harringtons’ house ... I don't wanna talk about it, man … Can you please just come get me? Please."

    Eddie hangs up the phone and swallows down the lump in his throat.

    He refuses to cry in Steve Harrington's kitchen.

    Summary

    Eddie hasn't been able to get himself off in months, and now he's high, sweaty, and horny, thinking about the very man sitting in his room in nothing but a wife beater and a pair of tiny athletic shorts, and he thinks he might die. Steve notices. Of course, Steve fucking notices, what, with all the squirming Eddie's doing.

    Steve offers to help get Eddie off. As friends do. (As long as those friends are completely in love with each other.)

    Summary

    “Yeah,” Nancy says. “I like dating girls.”

    Steve grins. “Damn, Wheeler. I always knew you had it in you.”

    “You’re being shockingly normal about this,” she shoots back.

    Steve’s smile flickers. He looks down at his own coffee and runs a hand through his hair. It’s an old nervous gesture of his; it’s kind of sweet to see him do it now.

    “Well, uh, I kind of have something to tell you too.”

    Or: In the spring of '87, Steve, Robin, and Eddie roadtrip to Boston to visit Nancy. While Eddie and Robin are off exploring the city, Steve and Nancy have an awkward run-in with one of Nancy's past flings, and it turns out they both have secrets to share.

    Summary

    The only reason Steve volunteers to keep a journal to track Eddie Munson’s skim-milk memories, is because of the twerps.

    They have school, they can’t commute to the government-protected hospital that’s all the way in the city. That, and they gave Steve this well-rehearsed, tearjerker performance about how grateful they would be.

    About how grateful Eddie would be.

    Pfft like shit on a stick, he’ll be grateful. The dude doesn’t even remember how old he is, how the hell is supposed to be grateful for Steve Harrington jotting down notes in binder?

    But those kids have been through Spielberg-level disaster shit. Steve has too, but they’re just kids.

    So he’ll do it. He’ll do it for them and only them.

    Summary

    One untied shoe launched up, he shifts his weight to fully stand on the table next, his lunch be damned, a monologue at the tip of his tongue-

    “Hi, Eddie!”

    Out of balance, his knee jerks and hits the table. His folded body finds itself on the floor. It fucking stinks.

     

    Or, Eddie quickly learns that once Steve Harrington appears in your life, he stays there for good.

    "Eddie. Can you do something for me, baby?”

    Summary

    Eddie's hair is pulled up on top of his head, and there’s a piece of it falling down to frame his face, and Steve’s sleep-deprived brain sends a shock of want rushing through him.

    Want: he wants to touch? Wants to look? He’s looking. Wants to… something? He feels electricity crackle at the backs of his teeth and he blinks, wanting. Wanting so badly that something aches inside his chest.

    (it's been a few months since everything, and steve is beginning to realize some things about himself)

    Summary

    It’s the spinning that does it. Eddie couldn’t look away if someone paid him. Every single time it happens, he just stops what he’s doing and stares. Drooling.

    Before, it was just kitchen utensils or the baseball bat. Now...now it’s at band practice every day.

    As it turns out, Steve can actually keep rhythm really well and while he can’t read music to save his ass, he understands beats and notes like a natural. The problem is- the problem is, that he keeps spinning those fucking drumsticks and Eddie’s gonna jizz in his goddamn jeans one of these days.

    Summary

    When Robin and Nancy find a perfect replica porcelain doll of Steve and the flesh-and-bone Steve missing, the group has a minor freak out about it. But not Eddie. He's the only person seeming to handle this with any grace. Or so he thinks.

    Excerpt: He thinks he’s losing it a little. All this time he thought he was the level-headed one but now that it’s been two full days of not seeing Porcelain Steve, he thinks he’s going to climb the walls and start ripping up the carpets. Logically he knows that nothing has happened. If something had, he would have heard from Dustin already, either by phone or over the walkie (which may or may not be on him at all times, volume as loud as it goes). They wouldn’t leave him in the dark.

    Right?

    Right. Right.

    Summary

    “I just need to know what happened, the truth of it,” is Wayne’s simple plea.

    Steve shakes his head, heart in his throat, all he can say is, “Wayne, I would never hurt Eddie, I’m— I love him.”

    Wayne doesn’t seem surprised by that at all, just calmly counters, “Don’t you mean loved?”

    Or, Wayne gets suspicious about what really happened to Eddie when he notices that Steve Harrington keeps taking his mugs.

    Summary

    "Red touches black, poison lack. Red touches yellow, kill a fellow." A silly rhyme, to help remember the difference between a harmless kingsnake and a deadly coral snake. Wayne taught it to him when he was fourteen, and Calpurnia settled in the form of a scarlet kingsnake.

    Given the way people recoil when they see his daemon, he's pretty sure no one else in Hawkins has ever heard it before. Or maybe it doesn't matter - maybe Eddie is the one they think is toxic.

    ****

    Vecna is defeated, Max is saved, and Eddie's name has been cleared. All should be right in the world of Hawkins, and Eddie's only concern should be his inconvenient crush on Steve Harrington. But there are people who still think Eddie is guilty of murder, and they're not willing to let it go.
