    Summary

    Jonathan Alonzo Byers is going to kill himself on Saturday, November 12th, 1983. Or he might if he doesn’t spend the night in a jail cell. Because on top of everything else—his brother disappearing and turning up dead, his mother losing her god damn mind, Nancy convincing him his mother might have a point, some fucking portal in the woods opening up to another fucking dimension, Steve fucking Harrington calling him a screw up and a queer, at least two of his fingers feeling broken, and the handcuffs digging into his wrists during the uncomfortable ride in the backseat of a police car—he’s got a fucking boner.

    or

    5 times Jonathan thought about killing himself and 1 time Steve thought about killing Jonathan.

    Summary

    Jonathan and Steve haven't spoken in months. Steve almost prefers it that way, because at least he knows how to act. Don't get too close, don't get caught staring, don't let anyone know--they're easy rules to follow.

    But, when Jonathan goes missing, and the quiet town of Hawkins is suddenly not-so-quiet, it becomes harder and harder for Steve to hide the truth. He's not even sure what the truth is, anymore. He's not sure he wants to find out.

    ---
    A rewrite of S1 centered on the premise: What if Jonathan went missing instead of Will? (And: What if Steve and Jonathan were childhood friends turned enemies turned lovers turned enemies again?)

    Summary

    For a while it got easier, through brute-force avoidance and then moving across the country, thousands of miles away from anyone who felt like a real person.  

    But then you come back―of course you do―and it’s worse than you could’ve ever imagined, because you’re faced with the reality of it.  

    The reality of Nancy, who says they’ll just have to put off Emerson by a year or two and leaves no room for argument.  Jonathan lives in her house, for fuck’s sake, and he’d be hard-pressed to remember the last time they touched that didn’t involve them both going for the salt shaker at the same time.

    But there are worse things than Nancy.  Something he can no longer avoid.  

    Because he isn’t actually an eternal eleventh grader, coiled and ready to strike in the back alley of every dream Jonathan has had for four years.

    Summary

    “It’s not your fault if those people weren’t prepared to grow with you." Steve's voice is slow and soft, like the first warm embrace of a summer breeze following a particularly cold winter. “And for those who don’t...well, fuck ‘em.”

    Then, he feels it. Fingers, quiet and hesitant, pressing gently against his own. They linger only for a moment—

    And then, they’re gone.
