    Summary

    Con artist is such an ugly term.

    There is a lot of artistry to doing it well, but Eddie hates the negative associations—the idea that he’s doing something wrong, that the truly, horrendously rich don't deserve to be swindled from time to time.

    He's made a life of taking them down a peg.

    Knows how to find the worst of them; how to woo them, seduce them, and take just enough to get away with it. He studies them, carefully gathering tales of who they use, exploit, destroy, all in the name of money.

    Eddie takes his time picking his targets—the worst of the worst—finds out what they want, what they have to prove, and how best to convince them he’s the only one who can make their dreams come true.

    It is an art.

    Eddie Munson takes a lot of pride in his work. When an opportunity he's been waiting for brings him to Indianapolis, he expects it to be fast, easy, on his way back home in two weeks. He doesn't expect to meet Steve Harrington.

    He doesn't expect Steve to change...everything.
