Post s4 Eddie lives but the government makes him move away from Hawkins.
The Hawkins gang have no idea he's alive at all.
Fast forward 6 or 7 years .
Eddie’s busy working at a festival ( dealers choice what as but hes not performing hasn't picked up a guitar since the whole most epic concert the world has ever seen that got him 'killed' )
He stops to listen to one of the acts on one of the bigger stages not really paying attention to the people on stage.
But then he hears the lyrics.
They are his lyrics.
Lyrics he hadn't seen since before that night in 86.
His lyrics, but not his kind of music... and when he looks at the stage he understands.
Steve Harrington is standing centre stage, singing the words that Eddie never got the chance to. The melody is all wrong. But then Steve never heard the songs performed, so much like a child who learns only through reading its right but not quite. Turned into his own by osmosis.
Eddie should be mad, should be angry that Steve has stolen his words and is using them as his own.
But the words always belonged to him anyway.
