    Summary

    "So he…you know. Loves her. Enough to marry her, anyway," he says, and he can't look Steve in the eye while he says it, so he finds himself looking at his mouth instead. "And they get married but she's bitten by a snake, and she dies."
    "That's shitty luck," says Steve, his fingers tracing slow, whorling patterns over Eddie's exposed ribs.

     

    "Yeah," he says, breathes. "It is. And Orpheus — he can't live with that, right? Like he's not willing to live without her. So he figures out a way to go down, all the way down, right into Hell so that he can try and bring her home."

     

    "...Sounds familiar."

    ***

    Eddie makes it home from the Upside Down. This is the life he builds in the ashes.
