A Stranger Things Fanfic Three Years Later Eddie slumped against the car and stared at the high school. He never would have believed he would be glad to be here. He glanced at his watch. What was taking so long? He knew the kids could drag their feet sometimes, but this was crazy. If they took much longer, he’d need to find a hotel in Hawkins for the night. “Eddie!”

A Stranger Things Fanfic A battle with Vecna was something Eddie had hoped only to experience over a board, tucked behind his books, but fate dictated otherwise the moment Chrissy Cunningham died in his trailer. He had known then that if there was anything, anything he could do, he would without hesitation. Later, it would all be a blur of music, Dustin screaming, those horrible bats, and pain. (The Dream, however, stood out in sharp contrast, and Eddie didn’t think he would ever forget it.

Part 4 of the Their Year (‘86, Baby) series A Stranger Things Fanfic The Cunningham house was often quiet–the calm before a storm. The Munson trailer, on the other hand, was quiet in a calm, peaceful way (well, when Eddie wasn’t blasting his music), and Chrissy liked it. She liked it far more than she ever would have imagined when she visited that first night. Now that she was on Christmas break from college, she spent most of her days at the trailer, enjoying being home.

Part 3 of the Their Year (‘86, Baby) series A Stranger Things Fanfic Music could fix anything. That had always been Eddie’s motto, even before he had watched it save two people’s lives. Music had helped as he adjusted to a usually-empty trailer in a new town. Music had taken the place of friends for a couple years, then helped him find friends. Music helped drown out the things he didn’t want or need to think about, and music would definitely help him stop worrying for a few minutes.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Trigger warning: mentions of abuse and eating disorders Chrissy’s mom didn’t speak to her when she came down for breakfast the next day. She handed her the small plate without meeting her eyes and turned back to the stove. Chrissy joined Brian at the table without a word. He glanced up at their mom, then quickly turned back to his food. Chrissy had finished eating and was in the middle of washing her dishes when someone knocked on the door.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Back in the Upside-Down was the last place Eddie wanted to be, but there he was, reinforcing the wrong version of his trailer with Dustin, screwing in metal plates, propping up ladders, and wrapping wire fencing around it. He found his guitar (the only good part of this freaky shadow-realm was that it made it even more metal), and he and Dustin carried it and the amp up to the roof.

A Stranger Things Fanfic When they got to the War Zone (Chrissy had a hard time not giggling every time someone mentioned the name), Steve, Robin, Nancy, and Max climbed out of the RV. Erica stood up as well. “I’m coming too!” Steve stared at her for a second, then shrugged and gestured for her to follow. “Okay.” The others settled in to wait. Chrissy sat with Lucas at the table, fiddling with the Walkman.

A Stranger Things Fanfic “Before we do anything, we need another Walkman.” Harrington hadn’t stopped staring at Wheeler since she’d woken up, and Eddie was fairly certain he would have to physically restrain him from robbing someplace if the others didn’t hurry up and make some sort of plan. As soon as Wheeler had woken from her trance, they had moved to Mayfield’s trailer in case the police or the basketball team showed back up, but Harrington seemed to find even that delay unbearable.

A Stranger Things Fanfic “I don’t like this,” Robin said, pacing as Nancy tapped a pen on a still-empty notebook. “I mean, how much do we know about the Upside-Down, really?” She glanced at Steve, Nancy, and the three freshmen. “You say you’ve all been there before?” “Well . . . only for a little while, and we were underground the whole time,” Dustin said. Nancy frowned. “I wasn’t underground, but I was just there for a couple minutes.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Eddie woke to a loud knocking on the front door. He nearly fell on top of Dustin, who was also scrambling up. His heart pounded in time to the knocking, and he tried to think how he could manage to get him and the kid out of the house without the cops spotting them. “We forgot the password, but let us in.” Harrington’s sarcastic voice came through the door, and Eddie relaxed, though he huffed a sigh and fell back onto the bed.

A Stranger Things Fanfic “How do you feel about a hike, Dustin?” Eddie asked, glancing at his watch and wishing he had paid attention to what time the sun set lately. Dustin cocked his head. “A hike? I mean, I can do it, but shouldn’t we stay here?” “Do you wanna sleep here?” Dustin peeked into the cranny under the rock and grimaced. Eddie folded his arms. “Didn’t think so. We need a place to sleep where the cops won’t be looking for us.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Trigger warning: mentions of abuse, violence, and eating disorders To Chrissy’s surprise, Nancy was not the only one who stayed. Sinclair, who later introduced himself as Lucas, studied the bookshelf in the middle of the living room, while Max sat in the chair beside Chrissy with pens stolen from his backpack to write on Chrissy’s cast. Nancy sat across the room, scribbling in a notebook she had pulled from her pocket.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Trigger warning: violence Of course Dustin insisted on being the one to stay with Eddie. Of course he did. It didn’t matter when Eddie had told him they were going back to the school. Dustin wanted to come anyway. Eddie tapped his finger on his knee. What was he supposed to do with the kid after his errand? He wasn’t taking him to his trailer (he hadn’t wanted to take Chrissy there either, but she was desperate, and it was only supposed to be for a few minutes), and he certainly wasn’t going to the kid’s house.

A Stranger Things Fanfic Trigger warning: mentions of abuse and eating disorders Resetting the bones in her arm hurt, but Chrissy was alive, and that was the important thing. Her parents couldn’t understand why she had been at Max’s, but they took one look at her arm and seemed to decide questions and a lecture could wait. Her dad held her hand as the doctors put the cast on, and she kept music playing the whole time, leaving the headphones around her neck so as not to be rude.

A Stranger Things Fanfic The house was too quiet, and the book only helped so much. Diana Harrington had always believed the mansion was far too large for their family of three, but it grew cavernous now, echoing with every tick of the clock and creak from upstairs. When the phone rang, she nearly jumped out of her own skin. In the time it took to calm her racing heart, she decided not to answer.
