Reactions and Reviews
It’s a time loop fic. It’s a Steve-centric time loop fic. It has more themes and symbolism than Chekhov could shoot a gun at. It peels Eddie’s character apart like an onion. It’s the ultimate put-your-blorbo-in-a-glass-jar-and-study-him-like-a-bug for EITHER of them. It had me waiting like a war widow for each update. I was more anxious over the ending of this fic than I was of the actual s4 vol2. Again, check the tags and individual chapter warnings for yourself because, as the author warns, it really does get so much worse before it gets better- but it gets better. I think this may be one of my favorite fanfics of all time, of any fandom, and that’s really saying something.[1]
In my list of steddie/ST fanfics, this one easily is on the top 3, the best characterization of Steve EVER, and the craziest yet logical way of fixing Vol.2, it focuses on Steves being stuck in a time loop the day they all fight Vecna, but Eddie keeps dying. read it.[2]
This fic is incredible and genuinely altered my psyche. Genuinely incredible. Just. Fuck. I felt so many things reading this. If you want to set your soul on fire for awhile, this just might be the fic for you.[3]
the BEST time loop steve/eddie fic i've read so far; steve is stuck living the same day over and over again and has to find a way to make it stop, eddie doesn't make it easy though. it's beautifully written, there's a lot of open communication which is perfect, and all the fluff and laughs you could possibly ask for. 10/10, please read it.[5]
