Man what I would've given to be in Ireland yesterday, what a night it must've been for everyone there.
Usually I don't reblog stuff ( though to be honest I should be doing that more) I absolutely loved this and wanted this to get more exposure. For all my Latina readers who love Eddie and Selena, this is it. It's angst! but this is it.
Okay sweet! Just wanted to match sure you did before I sent in my request so here it is : Eddie Munson x Latina!reader where it’s years after the events of season 4 and one day reader is listening to the radios and Selena’s new song “dreaming of you” starts playing when she picks up an old picture of her and Eddie at her quince and she has flashbacks of Eddie, her first love and her friends who are her second family.

It has been nine years since Eddie passed away. Many think it was due to the earthquake that hit Hawkins and destroyed everything in their path. If only they knew the truth. The truth of what is hidden underneath Hawkins. The truth of his death. He wanted to be a hero and help destroy Vecna. All to get rewarded with more hate even after death. He didn’t deserve it, he didn’t need to show his worth either. Yet he did, because in the end he never stopped being Eddie.
That was what Dustin told Mr. Munson. It was true, you were there when it all happened. Eddie was against the idea of you being put at risk but he was your boyfriend and you didn’t want to leave him alone. As you replay the memories in your head, you could hear the scream that ripped from yours and Dustin’s throats.
You blamed yourself over it for the longest time. Even if Eddie tried to reassure you it wasn’t your fault. He said it before you had the chance to open your mouth. The two of you were dating for almost three years. You two met back in middle school and were inseparable since then, to say he knew you like the back of his hand was an understatement.
Dustin practically had to carry you out, you were in too much shock to act on your own. You were in that state of mind for months. Not being able to do the things you once could. It was as if you had died and the only thing left behind was your body. With no soul attached.
The gang all tried to help you in their own ways from; watching movies, painting, meeting new people, traveling and anything else that came to their mind. Aside from that, you were able to graduate high school and later on, college. You have your dream job but yet it’s not what you hoped for. Eddie always said the two of you would live together.
You did ended up moving from your parents house but they dragged you back, scared you could hurt yourself from the pain you suffer.
You tried to move on but it grew to be impossible as the days went by. Your family wasn’t of much help either, they also didn’t know the full story and didn’t give you their support. From the many years they’ve known Eddie and saw how he treated you. They wanted to believe in his innocence but it was seemed impossible when the allegations surfaced of his club being a cult. The death of Chrissy being caused by him. As your family was a strong believer of God, they quickly changed their mind. Not even when you had clear symptoms of depression did they try to see things from your point of view. They believed that by you going to church with them it will help. But nothing did, so you lied and made everyone believe that you’re doing better.
What they don’t know is that you sometimes go to your room and cry to yourself. Just like today, you were locked in your room. Sitting on your bed with the radio playing faintly in the background.
Laying on your bed sheet were albums filled with pictures of all your friends. There was a nearby stack of letters Eddie wrote to you, some even had lyrics of a song he was working on.
With a shaky hand you picked up the bright pink album and set it in front of you. With big bold letters it read “Mis XV”, your family had saved up money to give you a huge party. Half of your family had to travel by plane to get to Hawkins. The other half decided to get there by car which meant having family members sleeping all around the house.
Opening the album it showed some pictures of you getting ready to head to the church. You remember how stress and nervous you were, even if you didn’t want to admit it back then. You had a crush on Eddie and it was the first time he saw you dressed up.
As you flipped through the pages, you saw the pictures that were taking inside of the church. The color of your dress stood out, it was emerald green that complimented your skin color. Your hair was curled and you had a part updo, allowing the crown on your head to stand out.
Unfortunately, Eddie, couldn’t make it to the church. He had called you beforehand saying his dad got drunk and he wouldn’t have a ride until his uncle got out of work. Even though you were sad, you understood. The few times you met his dad, he didn’t leave a good impression. You just hoped he could make it before the dance.
As you kept on looking at the pictures you chuckled softly with tears in your eyes. Not once was there a picture of you being sad, making you wish you could travel back in time and spend more time with Eddie. Finally, you got to one of your favorite pictures. It showed you running up to Eddie to welcome him and his uncle.
Even though your back was facing the camera, you’re sure you had the same big smile on your face as Eddie’s. His hair was cut in a buzz cut and he wore a black button up shirt with grey pants that were slightly too big to be his. You believed he got them as hand-me-downs but you never asked.
Your second favorite picture is of him putting your crown on his head. His mouth was open due to him letting out a cheer. Both of his hands were raised near his face. You had a similar face to his, almost as if they both of you were fangirling over one another. It was small things like these that made you fall for him in the first place. His ability to do what he wanted without a care in the world. You didn’t know this but, he always did silly things to bring a smile to your face.
You couldn’t help but remember the time you dragged him to a school dance and how awkward the both of you were. You were supposed to confess your feelings to him then but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it.
You had forgotten just how close you used to be with the others. Going as far as knowing Chrissy and Robin since middle school. At that moment you wanted nothing more than run to Robin and make new memories with her. The thought of Vecna taking her from you left a sour taste in your mouth. You were afraid though, afraid of them leaving you aside after all the times they invited you somewhere and you would make excuses.
Memories started flooding in, from the time you accidentally told Robin you had a crush on Eddie. She tried to play Cupid but it never worked, if anything Eddie was starting to think Robin had a crush on you.
Or the time that a guy from your class had asked you out and when you told Eddie he was mad and jealous. You were sure smoke was going to come out of his ears. He didn’t talk to you for days and when you confronted him about it. He confessed his feelings to you and was about to leave when you pulled him by the sleeve of his shirt. Taking a deep breath, you also confessed your feelings, which caused the both of you to stand in front of each other with no clue as to what to do next.
It was then that Chrissy and Robin couldn’t take it anymore and yelled out ‘just ask her out already.’ Making the both of you turn red, but you’re sure that if they weren’t there. The two of you would’ve just stood there all day trying to figure out what to say.
“All right I know that special someone you’ve been dreaming about all night long is right next to you right now. The new one of Selena, it’s called ‘Dreaming of you’. Para todos mis hispanohablantes esta es la nueva canción de Selena llamada, ‘Estoy soñando contigo’.” The voice of the broadcaster caused you to jump slightly. You were so engrossed in your own thoughts that you had forgotten all about the world around you.
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
It was as if those lyrics were made for you, that is all you’ve done since you lost Eddie.
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too
You weren’t sure if it was due to the stress from work or the fact that the song is voicing your exact thoughts, but you began to sweat.
You’ve had panic attacks countless of times before and you knew what the signs were. Next thing you knew you were shaking slightly and were losing your breath.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
The person you always turned to when things got bad was Eddie, but now that he’s gone there’s no one who could help you. All you had left of him are memories and you desperately searched for them in your mind. Trying to remember what he did to help you.
You were starting to feel disoriented and nauseas which was making it hard for you to focus on your breathing. Until you heard a voice calling your name. With teary eyes you looked up and we’re able to distinguish those curls.
“Hey y/n it’s ok, follow my breathing ok?” The voice got closer to you and you couldn’t believe how real this felt. It was as if you died, that’s the only logical explanation you had to seeing Eddie once again.
I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have are dreams of you
“Ed-Eddie?” Your voice was barely above a whisper
“Just do what I do. Ok pretty girl?” He spoke as he stood in front of you. An attempt to get you to follow his breathing.
I'll be dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
“Inhale, good now exhale.” Eddie spoke as he caressed your cheek. Just like all those times he had helped you, from when you two were in middle school and high school.
As he stood in front of you, he looked the same as the day you lost him. The blood on his face was barely noticeable but his hair was styled the same. His clothes were dirty but you didn’t mind, as long as you could see him once more.
Corazón
I can't stop dreaming of you
Once your breathing got back to normal, the two of you stayed there for a while. Taking in each other’s presence and even though you know he won’t be here for long you just wish this was reality.
That he somehow survived and came searching for you. When he did eventually open his eyes, he inspecting you closely. Making sure that you were fine, once he noticed you were no longer having a panic attack he gave you a smile. Before reaching for your forehead and giving it a kiss.
You closed your eyes, not wanting to take this moment for granted. You put your hands on top of his and felt the rings that adorned his fingers.
Cómo te necesito
Mi amor, cómo te extraño
“I miss you.” Was the only thing you could say. There were countless of other things you wanted to share with him. You knew time was running short and soon he will disappear so you said what you’ve been thinking about all these years.
Til tomorrow dreaming endlessly
With you tonight
Endlessly endlessly dreaming
He stood up without saying anything, as the two of you stared into each other’s eyes. It was as if you were having a conversation. The most you could offer him was a weak smile. He took small steps back and waved before slowly fading away.
The radio was now playing a different song but you took no notice of that. Wiping your eyes and sniffling you stood up and walked over to the phone. You hoped it wasn’t too late to visit an old friend, or better yet, old friends.

A/n: Not sure if I missed anyone, if I did let me know
Luffy really is teaching us all how to love ourselves and follow our soul's dreams isn't he
Ok but seriously this is something that's been on my mind for a good few months since I watched the Mandela Catalogue and apologize if I go into a ramble here but has Alex ever answered the question of what happens to twins in the MC? Like where are they? Are twins even a thing here? Are they not? And since Alt Gabriel is God now I guess and basically rewrote history, if twins were already a thing did he just poof them out of existence? Also if they were then what would they even do? are they each others alternates, do they themselves get alternates?? and if they do, how would they tell who's who?? I . need . answers
Ever since I heard this interaction, you can not tell me that this wasn't Dylan at some point :
On the floor in hysterics thinking about that one conversation
“swarm of bears?”
“…yeah?”
“herd of bears!”
“yeah I’ve heard of bears?”
Nah because, tell me why it started the way it did but went to a thriller really quick in the end?? Like I don't know what I was expecting going into this movie but it wasn't that 😭 and maybe I'm exaggerating (or because it's multiverse movie) but I felt like that was on the level of EEAAO (maybe a level below but still up there).
Ok but serious question y'all, now that Lizzy is gone, who are we planning to outlive next? I need you guys' input
Ok so this is like my third time posting about this man (because I'm obsessed) but I just wanna know if anyone thought of this before. Think of it as food for thought and/or a proposal. You know how in the show and wiki Eddie's known as Eddie “The freak” Munson or Eddie “The Banished” Munson? So instead of those, I’ve fallen into the habit of calling Eddie; Eddie “The hero” Munson and Eddie “The Great” Munson whenever I think of his full name, as my little way of reclaiming his name, holding up the Munson name if you will.
(Part of me also wishes that they actually managed to find a way prove Eddie's innocence to the town and as mentioned before, honor him by changing his name from Freak to Hero but alas what's done is done for now)
Don't know who needs to hear this but if your someone whos simping for Eddie Munson, then your someone who most definitely, simped for Rodrick Heffley ( honestly you probably still do too)
The Rodrick Heffley to Eddie Munson pipeline is real and you can't tell me otherwise
No but please tell me why I teared up when Namor was showing Shuri around Talokan, like the view man! so f*cking beautfiul, I can see why they stayed down there, if that was me I wouldn't come back to the surface for the longest time either.
Hey, so I have this dumb headcanon that Sanji can breakdance but it's something that he's mostly hush hush about. That is all
Ok, Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Bye
