#the way you’d have to pry dustin off eddie with a crowbar for months

[dreamofbecoming]

hhhhh is it bad that i’m coming up with post-canon stranger things aus when i haven’t even seen the canon

#steddie #like i haven’t even bothered reading episode summaries #i’ve just been synthesizing what i think happened from fics and gifsets on tumblr #but i’ve been having Thoughts #about everything being the same (including dustin telling wayne that eddie is dead and all) #except what if he’s not dead #like what if he’s barely hanging on but they couldn’t find vitals bc they were all too panicked and tired #and it was too risky to bring his body back through with steve still injured so they left him there #but then he wakes up alone and severely injured #and it takes a couple days for el to notice that she can feel someone alive in the upside down still #(can she do that? genuinely i don’t care) #and she tears a hole and they go back for him but it’s like #god the whump potential yk?? #the trauma of surviving those days alone and nearly dead? #the horror and guilt that dustin and steve and robin and nancy feel? #the way they would all melt down every time they had to leave the room he’s in #because they left him once and it was the worst mistake any of them ever made #the way it throws steve and nancy right back to barb but worse? #the way you’d have to pry dustin off eddie with a crowbar for months #there’s just so many options!! #delicious #stranger things
