  1. Summary

    A series of preludes, missing scenes and codas for the episodes that stuck with me the most and/or felt like they could be added upon.

    Named after the AoTB score Night scene, as all the fics so far would likely have had that score playing in the background if they were scenes in the show!

    Summary

    Nancy wasn’t at school. Jonathan was trying not to lose his mind. And Steve was just there, really, because that guy always had a way of just showing up, didn't he?

    Summary

    Ever since Steve can remember, Joyce Byers has cut her sons’ hair herself. Which means that since they were kids, both Jonathan and Will have sported nearly identical-looking bangs and a bowl cut, brunette and a little dweeby-looking.

    Jonathan’s new haircut, however, is decidedly not dweeby-looking.

     

    Or: Jonathan comes back from California with a new haircut, and Steve is decidedly Not Being Weird about it.

    Summary

    The first time Steve knocks on their bedroom door in the middle of the night, he’s got several blankets and pillows in his arms and a sheepish expression on his face.

    “Steve?” Jonathan scrubs a palm across his face, yawning. “What’s wrong?”

    “Nothing, nothing,” Steve says. “It’s just…well, Vickie’s over and…I was kinda wondering if I could just crash on you guys’ floor for the night?”

    Or: five times Steve has an excuse for spending the night in Jonathan and Nancy’s bedroom, and one time he doesn’t.

    Summary

    The grief tears at him - it leaves him exhausted.

    (In which Maclaren struggles to deal with things, and the team are there for him. A kind of coda to S2E9.)
