one night in summer 1986
because, the Chrissy-Escapes-Vecna-AU is all fun and everything, until she has to deal with traumas and nightmares waking her in the middle of the night, trembling and gasping and crying… so, when she spends the night with Eddie and flashbacks come to haunt her, he gently pulls her into his arms, cradling her like one would a frightened child, and hums songs she doesn’t know until her breath becomes slower and she falls back asleep in his arms.
