Summary
“There is a terrible plot afoot. Possibly the greatest evil this land has to offer. The likes of which have never been seen before.” Eddie pauses to make eye contact with each of his bandmates, then announces: “I’m going to be ritualistically sacrificed by the dark forces that control this town.”
or: Eddie receives an ominous invitation to Steve Harrington's Christmas party. Clearly there’s some ulterior motive, some nefarious reason why the former King would request The Freak’s presence. (Which is a completely reasonable conclusion to make, no matter what his bandmates say.) Now Eddie just has to find evidence of Harrington’s crimes and try not to die in the process.

Summary
“Do you have any Dungeons and Dragons stuff? Or like other—” Do not call them nerd books, Harrington “—other fantasy stuff?”
She looks at him completely blank faced for a moment.
“Swords?” he adds, voice remarkably weak.
She barks a laugh, not malicious, but Steve still feels a blush burning his cheeks. “Honey, this is a feminist bookstore.”
or: Steve drives to Indianapolis to buy Christmas presents for the kids and ends up accidentally wandering into the Indy queer scene.

Summary
“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”
Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.
“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

Summary
“It’s Eddie. He—” Dustin sobs, and Steve’s blood runs cold. “He chose to be a hero.”
That’s it. Eddie has to live. He doesn’t have any other option because Steve is going to be the one to kill him. Eddie doesn’t get to ignore Steve and break Dustin’s heart and then just die to get out of the consequences. No. He’s going to live, and Steve will never let him do anything this stupid again.
“Holy shit,” Steve breathes as he skids to a stop, falling to his knees beside Eddie’s limp body. He shoves Dustin off of him, wincing at how unintentionally rough that was, but he can’t slow down, can’t hesitate; he needs to act now. He doesn’t waste time checking for a pulse, just locks his fingers together, one hand over the other, and presses down on Eddie’s chest.
