Summary
When Steve gets trapped in the Upside Down, Vecna offers him a deal: become lieutenant of the monster armies and gain some of Vecna’s power, in exchange for being the bait to lure his friends back to rescue him. Steve takes the deal, believing wholeheartedly in the Party’s ability to save him and finally kill Vecna, but discovers quickly that his power to infiltrate the memories and dreams of people in the real world is very limited; in fact, he can only visit one person in his new monster form.
Thus begins Steve’s haunting of Eddie Munson, who, coincidentally, has been in love with Steve since they started secretly hooking up after a Halloween party in 1984.
Or: Steve is Kas, and also Eddie's secret boyfriend.

Summary
Eddie hadn’t been able to play his guitar ever since he’d come back from the Upside Down.
Actually, it was more like he’d crash landed back from the Upside Down. In fact, he was certain that he was still crashing, still free falling back to Earth, waiting longingly to feel steady on his feet again. But, it had been three weeks since he’d returned with no such steady ground to speak of.
or
Vecna has been conquered and the gang all made it out of the Upside Down alive.
Eddie Munson survived too, but he's struggling to heal and Steve is struggling to watch.

Summary
Eddie imagines that Steve Harrington probably thinks that he is real hot shit. On top of being a rich prom king, he is also an eroptomancer. A love seer. A soulseer, some people call them – someone able to see the weird magic that connects people in a predestined shit storm of a craps game. He probably thinks he’s real goddamn special. One in a million special.
It’s actually closer to one in five million, but who’s counting?

Summary
Eddie knows he didn’t ever fit that mold, the mold of someone who got to recover, the mold of a tragically tortured eating-disorder-haver with their life ahead of them.
--
Eddie's been struggling to stay afloat while taking care of his sick Uncle Wayne. Working non-stop and then selling drugs on the side just to get by, but he's got everything under control. He’s fine. It’s all fine.
Then one night Eddie comes across Steve Harrington at a party.

Summary
There’s no way. There’s no fucking way. Steve was clearly losing his mind - maybe it was the sleep deprivation, or something about the water in California causing him to hallucinate.
He blinked hard and willed his eyes to not see what he thought he was seeing. He shakes his head as he opens his eyes to an impossible sight: Eddie Munson. Alive. Right here, right now.
OR
It's 1992 and Nancy is covering the VMAs and brings Steve along. What Steve didn't bargain for though, is seeing a ghost, and everything that follows.
