Fics like He's Just Here For Comic Relief (he's a daydreamer)

When Steve Harrington is nine years old, his babysitter takes him to a comic book store. Shuffling through the stacks mostly to appease her (comics really weren’t his thing), he happens upon a rare, out-of-print, first edition of an old comic from the ’70s. "Stranger Things", the title reads. Something about it calls to him. He immediately knows he has to have it. His babysitter lets him buy it, and even takes him back to the bookstore and buys him the rest of the series on her own dime when he consumes the comic and needs the rest. He grows up with the comics. They mean everything to him. Nothing feels real to him like the comics do, and no one around him understands. He grows up feeling like there's a wall between him and the rest of the 'real world' and nothing pierces it besides the stories he found when he was a kid. Almost exactly eleven years after the comics first found him, he’s working a dead-end job at the Flea and Acrobat movie theater in town and not knowing what the hell is going to come next. Not really caring, either. That is, until Dustin Henderson careens to a stop in front of his ticket box. *COMPLETE*
