    Summary

    The year is 2001. The Fellowship of the Ring is out in theaters, and Steve is being dragged along to the supposed most important day of Dustin's life.

    The thing is, Eddie Munson's coming, too, and Steve hasn't spoken to him in nearly six years. Not since misaligned feelings and an ill-timed love confession created a rupture Steve didn't know how to repair.

    “We just drifted apart, man. That’s all.”

    Dustin sighs dramatically. “Was it because you figured out you liked dudes and freaked out?”

    Steve winces. It’s a joke. He can tell by Dustin’s tone, knows he likes to poke fun about Steve’s sexuality after he identified as a self-proclaimed ladies' man for so long, but it’s never come up this way before. Steve could deflect, but something in him shifts and instead he says, “More like because I figured it out too late.”

    “Ooooooh,” Dustin breathes, and Steve can all but imagine the lightbulb flashing to life above his head. It makes Steve think of Dustin’s old hat with THINKING CAP on the front. “Oh my god, that makes so much more sense."

    Summary

    The Corroded Coffin members made a name for themselves investigating the paranormal, they have a fairly successful show that brings in some extra cash. Eddie's not sure if he really believes any of it, it's been eight years and he's only managed to record a few pieces of evidence he can't explain.

    He's not expecting much from the investigation of the Harrington house, even laughing at how serious the man sounds about their safety. Steve Harrington himself and his stupid beautiful face is a big draw, he's not going to lie, but the stories he's telling about the haunting he's experiencing sound far-fetched even for them; particles of darkness, doors that lead nowhere, voices from rooms that are empty and visions of other places filled with black vines.

    He'd assume the whole thing to be a hoax, if Harrington wasn't offering them a sizable amount of money to spend the night, and there's more on the table if they can rid him of his haunting for good.

    Summary

    Graduation is on the horizon, and Eddie is determined to go out with a bang: Gen Con here we come, baby!

    Only, nerd shit cost *real* shit, and the Hellfire Club is forced to reckon with raising funds for their dreams in a more legal and balefully pedestrian way: a bake sale.

    Eddie’s already put his blood, swear, and tears into the club, what’s a little dignity for the greater good?

    (His dignity goes fully out the window when Steve Harrington shows up in a much too tight Hellfire shirt.)

    Summary

    The strings wrapped him in their web, starting from his chest and twisting and fluttering around him.

    There were friends at the ends of these strings, Mr. Spider had told him as a child. He just had to follow the strings where they lead.
    There were victims at the ends of these strings, The Mother had told him. They would be delicious.

    With curiosity, Jon reached out and let the bright red string curl around his finger freely. The most beautiful, he thought. It tightened around him. In response, Jon gave it a gentle tug.

    Instantly, his vision was overtaken.

    Tea, made perfectly with milk and a dash of sugar and a lot of love. A deep, deep loneliness. A lie on a resume. White fog, dusty shelves full of documents, a sound like wet pasta. Fear, fear, fear. Jon’s face, all eight of his eyes open, gazing sharply at something behind him.

    Love, love, love. So much love.

    A gunshot.

    “Martin!” Jon gasped, coming to. “Who the hell is Martin?”

    Or:

    Jon doesn't escape Mr. Spider, and becomes a child avatar of the Web. This changes some things, but not others.

    Now complete!
