    Summary

    “I’m sorry for ruining your night.” A deep shuddering breath echoes through the woods. Steve hurts. His chest aching something awful and so tight he can’t breathe. “I’m so-” his voice breaks as does the damn holding back all his tears. Now it’s Eddie’s turn to feel his eyes burn. “I’m so sorry, Eddie. I’m sorry for everything. I never – I never wanted – I never meant things for to end up like this.”

    Eddie’s brown eyes meet Steve’s hazel. Tears fill Steve’s eyes and despite everything - despite how broken Steve looks, despite how angry Eddie is, he can’t help but think he’s still so beautiful. Eddie wants to say it. Throat aching with the need to say something, anything to get Steve to stay and let him help. It hits Eddie hard that this is the first time he has ever seen Steve cry. Steve who always put on such a strong front, who hid his sadness and fear under false smiles. All the anger and fury from five minutes ago left Eddie only to be replaced by such a twisted feeling that whatever is haunting Steve won’t be stopping anytime soon, and it’s something so much bigger than he could ever imagine.

    Summary

    Pearl knew from the moment she saw him that he wasn't the real Grian. She saw it in his strange purple eyes and cold-to-the-touch skin. She knew he was something else, of a higher power, and that her Grian was long gone, decaying into code somewhere.

    OR:

    Five times Grian didn't understand, and one time he did.

    Summary

    “Here,” Haymitch says, but the gumdrop slips from his shaking fingers. They both laugh, but when he picks it back up, his smile falters. Huh. These aren’t the rainbow gumdrops he got for her. Instead, they're all just one color — red.

    “Now you’re home, I guess I can eat the others.” Lenore Dove tells him.

    "What others?"

    [On Hiatus]

    Summary

    They barely made it out. The Upside Down nearly took several of their own, and Hawkins split in two, but they're okay. They aren't without scars. Max broke her arm, and Steve ended up in a 10-day coma, but maybe that time was the last. El defeated Vecna, and they can rest now. The Party decides it wouldn't hurt for their DM to meet their favorite recovery babysitter, to bring someone from the outside in. It doesn't hurt that Eddie Munson and his new best friend, Chrissy Cunningham, bring a sense of normal that Party members have long forgotten.

    It's such a shame that normal never lasts long.

    (Alt. Reality. Eddie and Chrissy never get brought into Upside Down nonsense the fourth time around. They meet the Party after the events of Season 4.)
