    Summary

    But as they get closer to the clearing in the middle of the trees, Eddie hears it.

    Light gasps, panicked breathing, someone trying to suck in oxygen that just won’t come.

    He quickens his step towards it. Frodo speeds up too, breaking away from Eddie now and bounding into the trees.

    There’s a young man sitting in the dirt.

    His knees are pulled to his chest, arms wrapped tightly around them, and he’s rocking back and forth a little. His cheeks are wet, eyes clenched shut behind crooked glasses.

    *****

    Eddie's at a farmers market when he's approached by a very determined black and white cat. On a whim, he follows him to a young man having a panic attack in the woods.

    Summary

    “Do any of you need a ride?”

    The remaining freshmen shake their heads. And Lucas pipes up. “Dustin’s brother is getting us.”

    “Ok. Cool.”

    Upon opening the doors, all three kids race out to the parking lot, full sprinting to a car with a figure leaning against it. When Eddie reaches the gravel lot, he nearly keels over in shock. Reclined on his trademark maroon beamer is none other than Steve Harrington.

    --*****--

    Eddie Munson, in his determination to make 1986 his year, gets tangled up in Hawkins' local trauma-bonded family. It's not all bad though.

    --*****--

    I'm bad at summaries, just read it. It's so fun I promise.

    Summary

    1994. Eddie is on the verge of getting everything he ever dreamed of: a record deal, a new life in the big city, a music career on the rise. But the closer his future gets, the more terrified he becomes of leaving behind the one person who's been there all these years. Sometimes, though, to hold on to that always, you have to finally find the courage to say it out loud.

    Summary

    Eddie scanned the letter quickly, confusion replacing his apprehension. Phrases popped out at him - "homosexual", "terminated", "no son of ours", "disinherited". He was being fired and disinherited for his homosexual tendencies? But his boss at the record store already knew he was gay, and he sure as shit wasn't getting an inheritance from Al.

    Eddie dropped the letter as realization dawned. It wasn't for him. Shit. He scrambled to pick up the envelope, flipping it over. "Steven Harrington, Apt 43B". Shit shit shit.

    Steve. The hot guy next door. Who Eddie now knew was gay, and in the process of being fired and disinherited.

    Summary

    "I'm sorry, you're what?" Dustin squeaked. He must have misheard.

    "I'm gay," Eddie repeated. "Queer, fruity, a homo, a friend of Dorothy, a fairy. I like men. That's why none of your options have sounded remotely appealing to me. That's why I've never had a girlfriend."

    Dustin sat back in his chair, stunned. A lot of things were making sense now.

    "Oooookay," Dustin said, nodding. So now he had to find Eddie a boyfriend. More difficult, but he liked a challenge. "So what's your type? We can find you a boyfriend."
