Summary
Post Season 4, Volume 2:
The world hasn't ended yet. Life isn't normal but it's not quite terrible either and everyone is just sort of... waiting.
Steve obsessively patrols the edges of Hawkins always wary for Vecna's return, always looking for monsters, always letting his path circle round the tiny trailer in the woods where Eddie Munson is alive and hiding, never daring to let himself stop and linger.
Eddie wants wants wants Steve to stop and linger, wants to bring Steve in and bring Steve *down* and show Steve just how gentle Eddie would treat if if only Steve would settle and submit a tiny bit.
In the tentative, tense days after the world doesn't quite end but before life is normal again, Steve learns what it means to be taken care of and Eddie learns what it means to be *needed*.
But when the Upside Down surges again, nightmares and shadows and terror, is the fragile peace they've found together enough to keep them safe?
