I keep thinking about what the fourth would be like the summer after Vecna is defeated

I think about how everyone is kinda nervous about getting fireworks after everything but Wayne and Eddie have a tradition of lighting fireworks together and after everything they have been through the group decides “ehhh worth a shot” and besides it’ll be something nice for their two newest members

Eddie’s the one who gets all the fireworks and it’s things called, like, “nuclear war fair” and “the Big One tm” and one shaped like a taco. Needless to say Eddie is NOT allowed to light them.

However Hopper refuses to light them because he’s had to deal with too many idiots blowing themselves sky high in the name of patriotism and wants nothing to do with it.

So the duty falls to Steve.

Steve who takes his sweet ass time walking away once he’s lit the fuse and stands concerningly close, arms crossed, still holding the lighter.

Hey, if he had to launch rockets at a melted-people-monster while high off his ass and beat to high hell he can handle these glorified sparklers.

#stranger things #eddie munson #wayne munson #jim hopper #fireworks #Eddie thinks it’s hot #Hopper thinks Steve needs therapy #post season 4 #mentions of drugs #and whatever the fuck was going on in season three #it doesn’t come up but I think Eddie specifically looked for cool looking fireworks that weren’t supposed to make a lot of noise #because he’s considerate like that #forth of july #drabble #also I imagine the lighter is a shitty bic one that barely works #he didn’t wanna ruin Joyce’s good barbecue lighter #it gives everyone so much anxiety when he just sits there launching sparks from it right next to a pile of explosives #based loosely off my dad who for some reason is apparently convinced that fireworks can’t hurt him
