    Summary

    In theory, going to the Halloween Carnival in Indianapolis is a great idea.

    In theory, taking the kids to have some fun, family-friendly, spooky fun is a stellar idea. In theory, nothing can be as bad as the Upside Down/Energy Lab/MKUltra experiment bullshit that they’ve gone through the past few years. In theory, they’re all in for a night of laughs and the tamest of Halloween scares.

    In practice… not so much.

    Or, The Party goes to a haunted house. Eddie is a scare actor working there.

    Summary

    Eddie was bound and determined to be in a bitter, bad mood from the moment he entered Starcourt Mall. He was, he really, really was. Eddie is determined to hate Starcourt on principle. Hawkins is a small town at heart and Eddie didn’t think there was anything that could change that. Not until the bright, loud monstrosity started being constructed at the beginning of the year. It was a miracle, frankly, that it was finished by summertime. There must be a million code violations in that place.

    His plans change, because in front of him, is Steve Harrington in a sailor’s costume, bent over a table and wiping at what looks like a melted ice cream sundae.

    Summary

       “Hey, uh, have you seen Munson?” Steve interrupts Alex mid-sentence, doesn’t care that he’s being rude.

    “Munson? Don’t think he’s invited.” Alex snorts, seems proud of his useless comment.

    Of course Munson isn’t invited. He doesn’t need an invitation, is the thing. Because while no one wants to be associated with The Freak, everyone’s always happy to shake hands with him when he shows up at parties. Selling his weed and the occasional pill or powder to anyone with a bit of spare cash in their pockets. And that’s exactly what Steve’s aiming for. He just has to find him first.

    Summary

    After Vecna, Steve and Eddie have a history together. Steve wants them to have a future together too.

    *


    Steve shrugs, helplessly. He wants to reach over and tug at the beltloops of Eddie’s coveralls. He wants to put his hands on Eddie’s cheeks and look into his eyes. He wants Eddie to look back while he says I wanted to see you as well; or you look good in those coveralls; or sorry, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what I did but I miss you so much, please come back.
