   Summary

   Vecna was actually gone. The Upside Down was destroyed, forever. Three teens were avenged. All during the Spring Break of 1986.

   Just because Vecna is destroyed, that doesn’t mean it’s all over. Eddie and Max are both hospitalized, tension is brewing between literally everyone, and worst of all- a ghost from Dustin’s past comes back for him, and he’s not sure he’ll make it out this time.

    

   (My own take on a “Dustin is an experiment” AU featuring partycule, Steddie as Dustin’s older brother figures, good mama Claudia, and PLENTY of Dustin whump and appreciation)
