   Summary

   Steve has created a carefully constructed facade of okay-ness for the kids in the aftermath of Vecna. They're all adjusting so well, and he'll be damned if he lets them see him struggling. But its getting harder and harder as he's barely sleeping and the nightmares are leaking into reality and ravaging his body. Eddie though, Eddie has known with those stupid knowing eyes of his and he's done letting Steve bullshit him.
