    Or: Eddie as Max’s stepbrother instead of Billy!
    Canon divergent in terms of relationships, semi-canon-compliant in terms of Upside Down. We start by following Eddie's (and Max’s) home life and events that lead up to their move to Hawkins in October 1984, the year in which King Steve's reign starts dwindling.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington, a recent high school graduate who didn't get into college, is now being forced by his father to work in the brand-new Starcourt Mall, at Scoops Ahoy, an ice cream parlor.

    Steve was a bit of a charmer in high school, and he isn't going to let a recent breakup or this unflattering job stop him from getting a date. Only problem is, none of the girls he asks says yes.

    Just when Steve's convinced that free samples and failed attempts are all he'll get this summer, someone new walks into Scoops. And it changes everything.

    Oh, and something about evil Russian spies?

    Summary

    “Sure thing, kiddo.” Don said.

     

     

     

    KIDDO?

     

     

     

    “It’s a nickname,” Caroline explained. “Until we give you your real name.”

     

     

     

    That made sense. He had to be called something.

     

     

     

    KIDDO ACCEPTED

    Summary

    What if we saw Robins and Eddie's perspectives from season 1 and so on? What if they become friends before Steve and Robin? What if they get into the Hawkins mystery earlier than they would have liked? What if they found someone that could just make the loneliness a little more bearable?

    or
    Robin Buckley and Eddie Munson existed before season 3 and season 4 and the author thinks they would have been really good friends.
    also inspired by a Tumblr theory on S1 episode 3 when nancy calls the school phone and there a poster stuck on it with a similar font to the hellfire poster.
