Summary
On the 128th day after Eddie almost died in the Upside Down, he tries to drown himself.
EXCERPT:
"Eddie blinked, realizing his eyes had fallen shut. His body was tired, and he could feel his skin slipping on the porcelain of the tub. Eventually, he’d slide right down into the water, and his face would submerge. The image relaxed him."

Summary
"Did you take anything?" Was the first question that he actually registered. He had heard someone talking to him for a while now, but his ears wouldn't focus long enough to pick up any actual words. His head snapped up from its slumped position, his head feeling much too strong for his neck, and in front of him was Steve fucking Harrington.

Summary
“You scared the shit out of me,” Steve admitted quietly.
Eddie turned his head just enough to look at him. “Sorry,” he whispered. “Didn’t mean to… die on you.”
Steve let out a broken laugh, pressing his forehead to Eddie’s hand. “Don’t do that again. Ever.”
“I’ll try,” Eddie said, eyes slipping shut again. “Promise.”
or
Steve saves Eddie from the Upside Down. His physical wounds heal, but his mind won't.

Summary
"He washes his wounds off, sparingly, with water this time. He figures it’s probably time to do so. Maybe he’ll be okay.
He falls asleep in the bathtub with a chair wedged against the bathroom door to keep it from opening.
He dreams he’s hanging on in the back of the RV they stole, and Steve Harrington is yelling at him.
“Hang on!” he’s saying, “Hang on!”"

Eddie Munson is stuck in the Upside Down. Barely alive.
Steve Harrington is trying to sleep and failing at it, miserably.

Summary
After his surviving his attack, Eddie moves around the new Munson apartment like a ghost. Always there, only making his presence known when necessary, and never saying a word. It's haunting to watch someone — once so loud, so full of life and energy — be so fearful and silent.
Somehow, for some reason, Steve is the one who makes him feel human again.
