    Summary

    dustin’s encounter with death finally clicks something in the boy, and he shuts down. stops talking to the party and co., doesn’t try at school anymore, never goes to the hellfire meetings. he stopped using cerebro to talk to suzie.

    he sits in his room, day after day, wondering what he could have done differently. sometimes he goes to eddie’s old trailer— it’s boarded up now—, sneaks in, and just sits. talks as if eddie can hear him.

    the party and co. are about at their limit. they can’t keep seeing dustin trudge along like this, so they start planning get together, ‘random’ meetings. anything to get the kid talking.

    even amidst their own troubles, they try their best. they help each other so that they can better help dustin. and that means they all learn a lot more about each other as the days go by. they start rebuilding.

    and hopefully, they can help dustin, too.

    and finally it seems like they are making progress. and then, he finds a note that turns his world upside down.
     

    ‘dustin, do you copy?’

    Summary

    After failing his fifth year twice, Eddie is ready to buckle down and have just one, relatively normal year at Hawkins’ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

    But then famous professional Quidditch player, Durmstrang golden-boy Steve Harrington just has to enter the Triwizard Tournament.

    (And Eddie can’t be one-upped by him and his flouncy hair—no way. Not when Dustin’s respect is on the line.)

    But maybe he’ll finally prove to Gryffindor House that he belongs there after all.

    Summary

    Steve is dying.

    Steve is dying, and his blood is dripping onto Dustin’s arms, and Dustin doesn’t even know where it’s coming from.

    “You can’t,” Dustin mutters frantically, pressing at Steve’s head and arms and chest, trying to cover up a wound he can’t find. “You can’t. You have to be okay, Steve, you’re okay.”

    Steve smiles, and there’s blood on his teeth, and Dustin can’t do this, he can’t do this, not again.

    ~~~

    Dustin gets Vecna'd.
