The Song of Storge (EDITING) by BeyondGoneHairGoals (19BeyondGone49)

Summary
***Formally "The Call of Ktulu and the Song of Storge"***
Storge (στοργή): Natural, familial love; the deep instinctual love between family members
Hawkins used to be a sleepy town on the Central Coast of California until Will Byers went missing. Every year since, something strange and violent has crept in from the shadows.
Eddie Munson thought he knew how his final senior year would go, but everything changed when a class project with Chrissy Cunningham sets off a chain of events that lands him face-first in the middle of Hawkins' supernatural war. And then there’s Steve, a merman bound to the sea by a force only a true love’s kiss can break. He never meant to get involved with a bunch of land-walking kids, let alone become their protector in a fight he doesn’t fully understand.
When a storm crashes their worlds together, Eddie and Steve find themselves on opposite sides of the shore but fighting for the same thing: the people they love.
TL;DR: A S4 retelling with found family, grief, merman lore, themes of identity, platonic true love, and Steve Harrington absolutely not coping with being a merman
(Chapters 1,2 edited, but all chapters are posted. I am just cleaning up the flow)
