    Summary

    Where did the days go when the kids didn't look beat down? When they weren't worrying and arguing? Steve wasn't so sure, but he knew that the deaths of Billy and Eddie had brought this decay with them. A slow, creeping sort of rot to their friendships, and Steve hated every second of it. He hated the wall around Hawkins, not being able to leave, and most of all, he hated the feeling of being watched.

    Whatever had come for them before. It was still out there, growing stronger. Growing stronger with Billy and Eddie at its side.
    But Steve was not ready to forfeit yet. Not when there was still one last fight to come.

    Summary

    soul mate
    /ˈsōl ˌmāt/
    noun
    noun: soulmate
    a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.

    Steve's arms are covered in doodles, messages, and mantras, but almost nothing he writes back seems to go through.

    Eddie continues to send his love letters to the void, using it to anchor himself when nothing else can.

    The universe may have set Steve and Eddie up to be soulmates, but that doesn’t mean it made it easy.

    AKA

    Almost everything Eddie writes appears on Steve, but Steve can almost never get his words to appear on Eddie Soulmate AU.

    Summary


    June 1986
    Steve is lonely.

    He’s always been lonely, honestly. An empty house, absent parents, friends that didn’t really know him. Frankly, he probably doesn’t really know himself, either. It used to be easier to ignore—between sports and parties and searching for the next girl to hang around with.

    Then Nancy Wheeler told him he was bullshit. In the wreckage of the storm, he realized she probably hadn’t been that off base to call his life bullshit.

    [Life in Hawkins, Indiana is boring, ordinary, no supernatural entities. Steve still changes.

    Luckily, he still makes some new friends, too. Certain people are simply meant to be in the same story.]
