    Summary

    “Still not graduated, Harrington?”
     
    It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
     
    “I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
     
    or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.

    Summary

    Where does a dead girl fit in a world that has already mourned her?

    That's one of the many questions Chrissy has to answer after El brings her back. Luckily, she's not alone. Her new best friend, Eddie, came back with her. Still, there's only so far friendship can take her as she navigates this new reality.

    Some roads must be traveled alone. Other roads, well, it would be nice to have someone else along for the ride. Someone who knows what it's like to have nightmares that feel too real. Someone who can look past the scars and see the soul beneath.

    A recovery narrative first, a romance second, Where the Sunflowers Grow explores the impact of friendship, chosen family, and love.

    Written for the Stranger Things Reverse Big Bang 2024.

    “Hello, this is Hawkins Memorial Hospital calling, we’re trying to make contact with Eddie Munson in regards to a Wayne Munson, he’s been brought into hospital tonight. Please give us a call when you get this message.”

    Steve watched the colour drain from Eddie’s face as he listened, watched him fold in on himself as the message sunk in.

    “Steve…” Eddie whispered, turning wide eyes on him.

    *****

    Steve and Eddie get some bad news.
