the brevity of chrissy’s story matters because what’s the prevailing mood after she dies? that she had so much potential. that she had so much to live for.
what, then, is the takeaway?
so do you.
had chris survived the great vecna-ing of spring ‘86, no doubt she’d be dressing up as sarah from labyrinth.
before ‘86 it was princess leia multiple times, and once she and two little friends dressed up as judy, violet, and doralee from 9 to 5.

#Happy May the 4th to Steve Harrington <3
hours into the unclear future, chrissy might catch herself realizing that infinite reasons could exist for pink cheeks and dreamy silences in a packed kitchen hot from crowded bodies guzzling light beer and gossip like air, but in the moment she was only capable of joyously giggling, ❝ steve, you’re so pink! ❞ a small poke to his cheek came after, followed in quick succession by an exultant gasp and a poke to a nearby eddie’s cheek. ❝ you both are! ❞
such a sight was inexplicably tickling with a plastic cup of punch or two in her system (never more than that, however — playing it safe has become more comforting than boring) that lent a glowing edge to even the harshest of lighting and noises. like all of them were sucked into the kind of classic 80’s film chrissy used to romanticize within an inch of its life. with her shoulder sunk into eddie’s side and halfway beaming at steve, an argument could be made. brat pack, eat your heart out. they didn’t have safe places like she did, to be drawn back to every night like twin homing beacons. they weren’t laughing like she could these days.
a slow, loose dawning still managed to roll over the former cheerleader, cooling a little of her own halfway inebriation. ❝ it’s been a while, right? since we had fun like this? ‘cuz it feels good. ❞
