I don't think just thinking about my work should cause me a panic attack bad enough to nearly make me faint.

I don't think the work environment that produces that reaction should be considered a good one

Plague update:

HE SPONTANEOUSLY RECOVERED WHAT

[artiststarme]

All dead, all dead

Well, I had a rough day so I'm taking it out on Steve again. My apologies. I decided to title it after my favorite Queen song because I think it’s fitting. I hope you like it and please leave your thoughts in the comments!

I should warn you before reading it, you might need some tissues.

~*~*~*~

They’d lost. Steve stood in shock with Nancy and Robin as the clock chimed for the fourth time and knew deep in his heart that Max was gone. They felt the heat in the Upside Down as the world started to tear apart and could do nothing but run to the nearest gate, which happened to be the road where Fred died, and bust through as the portal continued to burn. 

“We have to get to the trailer park to pick up Dustin and Eddie,” Nancy said resolutely, the first thing anyone had said since hearing the damning chime. 

Oh fuck, Dustin! Steve immediately took off in a sprint. How could he forget his favorite kid, his little brother, his best friend besides Robin? He’d been so in shock about the probability of losing Max that he’d neglected to think about Dustin and Eddie in the trailer. Hopefully, they’d done their job well and were able to climb through the gate before it expanded, catching everything on fire in its way. Steve could see the split of the earth racing alongside him like a cut that wouldn’t stop bleeding. 

He didn’t let that stop him though, he kept running until he couldn’t any more. He body slammed the door of Eddie’s trailer while screaming for them to open it. “Dustin! Munson! Open the door, it's Steve! We have to go! Guys!”

When his shoulder caught the door just the right way and opened, he didn’t see Dustin or Eddie. They weren’t in the trailer which meant they were still stuck in the Upside Down. 

“Dustin! No, man, this wasn’t the goddamn plan! Dustin!” He screamed, trying to find a way to get back through the gate. The sheet was torn in half and the small kitchen table had a broken leg. “Fuck!”

“Steve?” He nearly gave himself whiplash with how quickly he cranked his head to look at the ceiling. 

“Dustin! Where’s Eddie? We gotta go, this place is about to go up in fucking flames.” 

“He didn’t make it. I tried to bring him home but I’m not strong enough, Steve.” Tears continued to drip from his reddened eyes. Steve was sympathetic, of course he was, he liked the dude. But they had to fucking move, now. 

“Henderson, I’m sorry but we can’t worry about that right now. The gates are spreading, you have to get out now. Stand on Eddie’s table and jump, I’ll catch you,” Steve promised him. 

Still crying silently, Dustin moved to fulfill Steve’s instructions. He dragged the Upside Down table to right underneath the gate and moved carefully to stand on top of it, favoring one leg significantly. Steve could see the flames of the expanding gates shining, moving ever closer, through the windows of the Rightside Up and Upside Down trailers. 

“It’s now or never man, let’s go. Jump Dustin!” The flames from the split earth were nearly on top of them now but he had to get out.

“But-” Dustin started but Steve cut him off.

“No Dustin, jump!”

Dustin didn’t question him again and he jumped through the gate. What neither one of them realized though was how close the blaze was. As Dustin jumped halfway through the gate, the entire ceiling of the trailer burst into flames in a ball of fiery fury. Steve was sent sprawling to the ground with the force of the quake. When he looked up to the ceiling where the chasm was growing rapidly, he saw the gate turn into fire and engulf Dustin. His face contorted in pain and he screamed a wail of anguish before he was ripped in half and eaten by fire. 

No. No, Dustin. Steve screamed as he saw what used to be Dustin turn into a cremated shell of soot. He screamed as he lost his little brother to the world that took away their childhoods and shattered their illusion of safety all those years ago. He screamed in grief as he realized it was his fault and if he’d moved just a little bit faster, maybe Dustin would still be alive and in his arms right this second. 

He had screamed his throat raw by the time the girls had caught up to him. They were both panting and Nancy pulled him out of the burning trailer in an act of desperate strength. He would never forgive her for making him live after seeing his brother burn. 

Her and Robin held him down just a few feet from what used to be Eddie’s home. He kept struggling to get back inside but they wouldn’t let him, pinning his limbs and whispering muttered reassurances that would never mean shit. 

The other residents of the trailer park ambled their ways outside, peering at the reddening sky and watching fractures open up throughout the park and town. Some of them looked at Steve in pity, watching as he grieved the one person that had believed in him from day one, the kid that gave him a family when he didn’t have one, and stuck by him even though Steve knew he was difficult to love. He wouldn’t recover from this, he couldn’t.

Steve’s grief overtook him and the raw pain that he was experiencing was enough for even the universe to have mercy on him. 

His mental break was strong enough to fracture time itself. Time rewinds and unravels.  The world goes black and when his eyes reopen, Steve is laying in his bed, all alone in his big house again. He goes back to a day when he still had a little brother, Max was still a bitchy little kid, and Eddie Munson had no knowledge of what the Upside Down was. And Steve makes a vow that he will not be going through that pain ever again. He was going to save them all.

an interesting thing abt jgy antis is like. where is the source of their, shall we say, negative opinion of jgy? like, 1. jgy is a villain, he does horrible things with no remorse, he’s willing to do everything to achieve his selfish, egotistical goals. --> 2. the source of this claim: this, this and this scene. --> 3. alright, but to me -- says someone who’s not an anti -- this reads differently. that he did all those things, and did them on purpose and without remorse, is not that obvious to me. why do you think that? --> 4. well, obviously because he’s a villain and does horrible things with no remorse.

like... he’s evil because he does bad things, and he does bad things because he’s evil. i’m interested in how antis came by those opinions, but a, unfortunately i have them all blocked, and b, even if i or someone else made a poll, it wouldn’t be authentic because no sane anti is going to say “well, people hated him and wrote all those things about him on twt, so i started hating him as well”, or “i only care about wgxn, you could sell me anything about other characters if your arguments were convincing enough because i zoned out during the parts when wgxn weren’t on screen/pages of the book”. it’s all “written in the book/shown in the show” and “logical arguments you’d agree with if only you could read”.
