[podfic] Shipwrecked in the '80s (Still Adrift in the '90s)

Summary:

In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.

Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.

But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.

He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.

After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.
