  Summary

  You would think the shared trauma would bring them together, at least some level of understanding or civility, but instead, all that existed between them was a building resentment. Resentment at the other for surviving.
  Or
  Finney Blake is a dorky and awkward social outcast.
  King Steve is an arrogant, and charismatic popular kid.
  But then Finn killed the murderer who kidnapped him with his newly discovered medium abilities and Steve fought a demon from the parallel dimension the government is trying to cover up.
  You would think nothing could surprise him anymore.
  Enter 1984 and a boy who looks oddly familiar.
  Or
  Steve Harrington is Finney Blake and tired of this shit
