Summary: Things were weird in Hawkins. The fields were rotting, there was something in the woods, and Steve Harrington's Beemer had a new problem every week.

Y'all. I. Oh god, it was so good? It's seasons one and two, essentially, with Steve and Eddie actually knowing each other in high school in a meaningful way. And it's a slow burn so delicious, I could die. They're so tender (eventually! and so bitchy in the beginning!), and I am so weak.

Also, it, uhhhhh, makes a REAL WILD left turn at one point, which would be a huge spoiler if I said anything. It's perfect, though. All I want to do is immediately reread the whole thing to see how oaseas set it all up. It's bonkers and brilliant and there is some EPIC art to go with it once the reveal happens.

GOD. SO GOOD. *shakes fists*
