(revamp of a steddie book i scrapped) An idiot. That's all Steve Harrington was. A cold, hard idiot. All because he fell for a freak who went by the name of Eddie Munson. Life hadn't been easy with Vecna running loose all around Hawkins, mustering people up to believe it was, in fact, Eddie Munson killing teens like Fred, Chrissy, and even that basketball player Patrick. So when a group of four set out on a boat headed straight to the middle of Lovers' Lake at midnight, they slowly reel in what's about to happen when they discover an underwater gate to the upside down. A place Steve hadn't dreamt of going to since he was put face to face with a creature from their inner-dimension just last July. But as the situation unfolds, Eddie and Steve find themselves growing closer and closer together with each passing moment of their adventure to save Hawkins, and something more than a friendship blooms before them. A story full of repressed feelings, lust, and a hell lot of homos.
