Summary
There was a time when Steve and Jonathan had been friends. Steve thought that they could have reconciled earlier, but Will goes missing, life as everyone in Hawkins knows it is flipped upside down, and they miss their chance. That is, until the world-ending events draw them closer together and they have no choice but to be in each other's company.
Or.
A canon compliant retelling of the entire show, where Steve and Jonathan were childhood friends turned enemies, only to become lovers in the end.

Summary
In the dream, Jonathan was falling.
It was not the first time he’d dreamt of the radio tower.
For days now his sleeping mind had trapped him there, racing and panting and sweating as he climbed to fix the antenna.
Jonathan wished these were nightmares. He wished that when he looked down, he saw monsters racing after him. Wished that when he looked up he'd see Nancy or Will dangling from the edge of the top platform. It was a fucked up thing to wish for, he knew, but he hated that the most alive he'd felt in two years was while he was racing up a radio tower with a boy he’d hated since high school.
This dream was not like those. It was cold and fast and soaked with dread.
It was knowing nothing except the roar in his ears and the certainty of the ground below ending his life.
Even weirder, he was holding Steve Harrington's hand.
…
Alternate version of Operation Beanstalk where Jonathan and Steve fall down the radio tower and Jonathan has to take care of an injured Steve, leading to some honest conversations between the two of them and some sparks Jonathan doesn’t quite understand yet.
Jonathan’s POV throughout.

Summary
What if Billy didn't died that night? What if the party was able to rush him to the hospital and they were able to save him? Reality that they now had the pleasure of living in.
Steve sat at the bedside of the man who had beaten him half to death the year prier with his sister who begged for him to wake up wondering how things ended up this way.
Weeks had gone by since the battle at Starcourt and it made Steve's mind wonder to something his Aunt Sarah had said to him when his grandmother had died.
"𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝒾𝓈 𝓌𝒶𝓉𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓈𝑜𝓂𝑒𝑜𝓃𝑒 𝒹𝒾𝑒."
He never thought he would fully understand what she meant by that but unfortunately fate had given him the chance.
