    Summary

    “I’m gonna make a rule right here and now,” Wayne says from behind him. “There’s not gonna be any of what you should’ve done, because there was nothing you could’ve done. You ain’t gonna blame yourself for any of this mess.”

    Eddie seizes upon the opportunity to deflect.

    “Well shit, now that it’s a rule,” he murmurs.

    // Eddie, who's been working his way up kitchen ranks, returns to Hawkins in 1991 to care for Wayne. A story about grief, loss, love, and finding your people in the process. Plus some damn good food. Chef!Eddie, is that the way we phrase it?

    Chef! Eddie is a great vibe, I feel so seen and coupled with the seriousness of the story it’s a ride, vulnerability and going through the hard stuff life throws at you and the people along the way, ugggh its so good!!

    “We’re having sex, right?” Eddie doesn’t turn around as he asks. “Like I’m getting head?”

    “Yes,” Chrissy answers in the most confident voice she’s proffered all day."

    Summary

    Nancy speaks without thinking. “You can stay with me!”

    When Chrissy looks at her, her eyes are wide and grateful. She mouths ‘really?’ and Nancy nods.

    Maybe it’s a little impulsive. After all, it’s been six years. Who even knows if she and Chrissy will still have anything in common after such a long time? They might drive each other crazy.

    But ever since Robin moved out, she’s been lonely. Sure, Steve and Eddie still abuse their privilege of having a spare key, barging in at all hours to use her phone, borrow her plunger, or (most often) eat everything in her kitchen that isn’t nailed down. But a pair of obnoxious across-the-hall neighbors is not the same thing as a roommate, and she misses having another girl around.

    “Yeah,” she answers with a shrug. “Why not? I’ve got the space.”

    Summary

    “I–– Sorry. Hello. Um. I’m–– Jane… invited me?”

    “She ain’t here,” Eddie replied, leaning casually on the door jamb. Blocking her entrance.

    “Oh. Well, um. I can–– I can wait? We’re supposed to––”

    A sudden slap against the storm door made Chrissy flinch, eyes widening as she took an unconscious step back. Eddie leaned toward her, every inch of him going from relaxed to menacing in an instant. As though she’d said something unforgivably rude.

    “She ain’t here,” Eddie repeated, his voice harder. Angry, she realized. Angry with her. What had she done? Why was he so mad at her? “So why don’t you scurry on back to your cushy little life, princess?”

    Summary

    He may have died, but there would never be another Chrissy Cunningham looking down on him from the ceiling of his uncle’s trailer. And, as he closed his eyes for the last time, he was not haunted by her eyeless sockets and silently screaming jaw, as he had been every time he blinked since the day he watched her die.
    Instead, all he saw was her bright smile and the way her eyes glimmered in the afternoon sun that day in the woods.
    And then––
    He woke up.

     

    or

    Eddie Munson dies in the Upside Down. He wakes up in bed.
