    Summary

    hawkins, indiana, april 1986. the upside down is gone for good, but the side effects of having dealt with it? not so much. steve tries (and fails) to deal with four years’ worth of trauma, but the fact that he’s incapable of accepting help doesn’t make things any easier, and neither does a certain dungeon master, who he may or may not be nursing a hopeless crush on.

    here are five moments in the spring and summer of ‘86 where eddie munson tries (and sometimes fails) to get steve harrington to let him in, and one time steve does it all on his own.
