Summary
Eddie chuckled before he sat up and leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees as he grinned, “Abso-fucking-lutely not.”
“What do you mean ‘absolutely not’, dork!?” Erica crossed her arms across her chest as she spat out, “You told me to get new players to join the cause. You said you’d help me teach them DnD so I could start my own club at my school.”
“Yeah, I said to get players, but I didn’t say to get…” he gestured dismissively with his hand and scoffed, “This…”
“Oh, are we doing this again?” Erica’s eyes went wide in a mockingly innocent expression, “Do I need to remind you about when you thought I couldn’t play? And do I need to remind you how I wiped the floor with your precious Vecna campaign? Peter has potential, just like me—”
“Relax Lady Applejack,” Eddie smirked then pointed at Peter, “I’ve got no problem with that one, but that one,” he pointed at Chrissy, “That’s the one that I’ve got a problem with.”
“Me!?”
Or the Queen of Hawkins High gets roped into playing DnD by her younger brother and it turns out that the King of Hellfire is the dungeon master. I think we all know where this is going...

Summary
Eddie never was a planner, but his new life necessitates having some idea of where he’s going, and when he’ll get there. He’d like to think that makes him more mature, but he’s still flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to the big picture. Getting his CDL was a way to escape Hawkins. To see the country, even if he’s mostly seeing long, lonely stretches of interstate in between depots.
There are bright spots. Hazy desert sunrises that make him want to write a sad song, and the occasional free evening to take in a show, meet some locals. Follow a pretty girl to her apartment if she’ll have him.
Most of the time, though, life comprises shitty diner burgers and far too little sleep. It's a lonely existence, but it suits him fine, until the night a strawberry-blonde ponytail at a gas station in Kentucky stops him in his tracks.

Summary
Okay, so, he didn’t like Chrissy Cunningham. That would be fucking ridiculous. The gorgeous, eternally-out-of-everyone’s-league cheerleader and the super senior burnout? Even without the existence of her hairline fracture of a boyfriend, Eddie wasn’t obtuse enough to daydream about their shared school experience becoming anything akin to a John Hughes film, alright?
or
Eddie and Chrissy lie to themselves.

Summary
“Chris. Seriously. I hereby give you permission to have a one-night stand with the scuzzy bar boy.”
“But—”
“Trust me. Look at that guy. He’s not judging you—he’s an idiot.”
Chrissy looks at Eddie, who has gone from staring at them to half-wrestling Gareth, the two of them grabbing each other around the middle and punching at kidneys. How that happened in the span of thirty seconds, she doesn’t know, but it certainly makes him more approachable.
(Or: what if Eddie's dad never went to prison, and he didn't stay in Hawkins long-term.)

Summary
Chrissy ruins lunch by lobbing a carrot stick at Jason’s head. Not hard—it bounces off his forehead and falls to his tray, where it lands in a pile of mashed potatoes—but it’s still a projectile. A statement.
Later, in shop class, she spies Eddie Munson's notebook beneath a work bench and starts believing maybe she's as tough as the monsters she finds within it.
