Summary
The deaths in 86 and the earthquake left Hawkins a shattered shell of what it used to be. The near-ghost town occupied with things that haunt and hunt you, like bitter memories and living nightmares. When shadows crawl and familiar faces call out to you, who are you to deny the pull of fate?

Summary
Darkness swallowed his vision, Dustin's heartbroken sobs fading to complete and utter silence. The pain in his sides ebbed away to numbness, cold seeping through his bones. The smell of his own blood pooling under him faded to non-existence. His thoughts, usually a constant untamable flow of nonsense, shrunk to only one singular realization.
"This is it."
Edward Munson, the freak of Hawkins high, is wholly and truly gone. Left behind by his friends in the panicked chaos of their escape from the Upside Down, his body lays cold and broken as a testament to his life being over.
So why does he wake up, alive and breathing, in the Upside Down?
And why is Hargrove there?

Summary
Steve’s heart lurched, his breath catching – but it wasn’t Eddie moving. The cocoon itself shivered, its gelatinous membrane undulating in slow, nauseating pulses. The thick, blood-tinged fluid inside swirled like something alive was stirring it from within. He stepped closer despite every nerve screaming to keep away. Eddie’s eyes twitched beneath their lids, slow at first, then darting frantically, the way a dreamer thrashes against a nightmare.

Summary
It started at graduation.
When Jonathan notices something in the background of one of the photos they've taken --- a blur of *something* just barely visible behind them all as they clustered together for a group shot --- he isn't quite sure what he's looking at. He's heard of spirit photography, of course, but it takes a moment to register all the signs that, yes, for some reason, he can see Eddie Munson running away from the camera even though Jonathan's absolutely *certain* he wasn't there when the photo was taken.
Something's going on.
(A fic at the exact junction among the film Shutter, the show Doctor Who, and the show Stranger Things, inspired by SoooMyNamesRebecca. Will be vaguely Steddie in nature as a result)

Summary
The gate is closing.
Dustin lands on the floor of the real-world Munson trailer, managing not to injure anything else this time, but he hardly notices as he sees the rift that has also split the world on this side begin mending itself. The roof and side of the trailer reform, sealing together as the vines and the very crack itself disappears. Looking back up, all Dustin can do is watch as the opening grows smaller and smaller.
"Steve!" he calls, helpless. "No, no, no, no!"
"It's okay!" Steve shouts back to him, even though Dustin knows that it isn't. "We'll find another way out! Get to Nancy and Robin!"
And the vines retreat into the ceiling as the gate seals itself, slicing the last of the hanging sheet in half and leaving almost no trace that a giant portal to another world was ever there at all.
*Or, Steve goes back for Dustin after everything and gets trapped in the Upside Down, alone with Eddie. But that is only the beginning.
This story is from Robin, Dustin, Steve, and Eddie's POVs, as they all deal with what happens now.

Summary
Nobody could find Eddie.
Not a soul.
Dustin couldn't even find Eddie, because if he left where he is right now, at any moment, Eddie would be found. Or worse, if Vecna sensed he left, he wouldn't make it three steps out of the Upside down.
And he had come to terms with the fact he would never be found anytime soon.
There was no way in hell to predict that Steve would find him.
------------
Steve finds Eddie alive in the Upside Down and helps treat his injuries. Eddie cant handle how gently Steve is with him, or the bubbling feelings brewing in him while he plays nurse.

Summary
When Eddie died he thought that would be the end. He hadn’t run away this time, Dustin was safe and Eddie could finally rest. However, waking up bloody, torn and alone was not what Eddie would call a good time.
Meeting the literal, invisible manifestation of the Upside Down was also something Eddie could have done without. But to be given the chance to help his friends from the very beginning? Now that was something that Eddie could get behind.
It’s too bad that Eddie wasn’t given the full story of what occurred in 1983, 1984, 1985. That would have probably prevented him from becoming The Party’s Future Cryptid.
A being who somehow always shows up just when needed. No matter what the year. But he can't stay. Eddie isn't human anymore and as such no longer belongs to either world.
It doesn't help that the Upside Down likes to fling him through Time like a sling shot.

Summary
Death would be a kindness.
Eddie’s only regret is that Dustin found him bleeding out, so far gone that it didn’t even hurt anymore. Eddie could see his body spasm as his lungs rattled. Then there was finally nothing.
At least… there was supposed to be nothing.

Summary
Distantly, he hears the Wolf snarling and grappling with the demogorgan.
And then his blurry eyes pick up a third figure joining the fray.
A familiar figure, armed with a crude spear, jabbing furiously at the demogorgan’s head.
Steve’s head swims and he loses sight of anything after that, the sound of his rapidly-slowing heartbeat thudding in his ears.
“Steve, you with me, big boy?”
*****
In the aftermath of Eddie’s death, of the gates opening, Steve is struggling. His bat bites refuse to heal, he can’t let go of Eddie’s bloodied vest, and his dreams are plagued by visions of Eddie, by the Upside Down, by a creature that stalks him through the night.
Until one night, at the end of his tether, Steve returns to the Upside Down to search for the man he’d left behind.

Summary
“Ever since Eddie… died…?” He was hesitant to claim that he was dead now. It almost felt wrong, like forcing a puzzle piece into the wrong place or calling someone the wrong name. “Uh, since that day I’ve been having these weird dreams. Nightmares, actually. And, you know, I’ve been having nightmares since ‘83 so I didn’t think anything of it. But something about these dreams just feel… more real? Like I can feel everything. Even after I wake up. It’s like they… spill. Like, for a second after I wake up I’m still there.”
Steve has been searching for something in his dreams for a while now. Whatever it was, he was determined to find it. Bloody and all.

Summary
Eddie was concerned, but not 100% sure that he died. He had to be dead if he got stuck in the Upsidedown. Except. Sometimes he got out. Sometimes he flickered about topside and enjoyed his new favorite hobby: Haunting Steve Harrington.
Steve was concerned that he lost his mind. He kept hearing things. Seeing things. Smelling things. And by "things" of course, he meant Eddie Munson. It's enough to drive him up a wall. Or at least out of the closet. With help from Robin, of course.
The Party was concerned. Steve's behavior of late, was... weird. He started talking to himself. Max saw him breaking into Eddie's trailer in the middle of the night. Lucas noticed some pretty questionable hickeys when they played basketball. Except how could he be hooking up with someone when Steve never left the house? One thing became clear: it was time for an intervention.
