    Summary

    An AU look into what Eddie and Chrissy's senior year could have been. Horror, angst, the changing seasons, and the alchemy of love.

    *

    Chrissy Cunningham buys weed from Eddie Munson in September, on the Friday before Homecoming starts, like so many of their classmates do. The weeklong pep rallies and sports nonsense are punctuated by a Homecoming Dance– all things Eddie avoids like the plague, except for the afterparties, which are another big spike in sales for him.

    It gives him whiplash, when he’s approached by her to meet in the woods after school, but he grins his way through it, all the way to the solitary picnic table.

    Summary

    Chrissy Cunningham is totally fine, that's what she's trying to tell herself. Fine living under her mother's thumb, fine with her future as Jason Carver's happy little house wife.

    When Eddie Munson saves a black-out drunk Chrissy from getting arrested at a busted party, a rather unlikely friendship forms between Hawkins High's outcast and princess. But the closer they get, the more they both start realize something might not be right. With her? With the town? Maybe if they can fix it, she'll be fine again...just fine.

    Season 4, Chrissy Lives!Fix-it-Fic featuring Eddie/Chrissy and shenanigans from the rest of the Hawkins gang. (Updated description, cause the first one was garbage written when I had nothing but chapter one and a vague idea of what I was doing).

    Summary

    Chrissy Cunningham always wanted to do something fun with her life. Instead she's stuck in a corporate job with an even worse boss. The kind of boss who sends her on the one assignment no-one else wants to do. A profile on some stormchaser which involves getting a little too close to the action.

    But Eddie is the exact opposite of who she was expecting to meet, and the assignment from hell starts to turn into a whirlwind romance.

    This brain rot gremlin is completely the fault of Sloelimbs, who I happened to mention my love of the film Twister to. That was four days ago and well, here we are...

    Summary

    Chrissy Cunningham is having a terrible day. Everything that could possibly go wrong with the last period pep rally seems fully committed to doing so, and Chrissy's alone in having to navigate an absent basketball team, a terrible live music attempt, and even Eddie Munson's heckling from the bleachers. But things take an unexpected turn, and Chrissy learns more than she ever imagined about their resident freak (affectionate.)

    Summary

    "You’re gonna have to figure out how to make it possible for her to win, since it’s rigged for everyone to lose.” Byers mock salutes, and then winks at Eddie.

    “It’s not rigged.” The lie is not even worth it, really, but it is more the principle of the thing that makes him want to say it.

    “Yeah, yeah, sure, you gotta sell your goods, whatever, it’s not rigged,” Byers says, the rest of the kids slowly edging away from the booth, leaving him behind, “I’m just saying, if Chrissy comes back, you’re gonna want her to be able to win, right?” Byers gestures like he wants Eddie to answer.

    Eddie sighs, and decides that admitting it to Byers is as low risk as it gets. “Right.“

    “So, you have to make it winnable.”

    “Thank you, William,” Eddie says, crossing his arms over his chest. “It’s truly been a pleasure. Now, get out of my sight.”
