    Summary

    Jonathan doesn’t really know Eddie, but he knows of Eddie. Everyone does. Another one of Hawkins’ finest, with his last name stitched permanently to his first. That’s Al Munson’s kid. He’s trouble.

    It might as well be Byers. It has a similar ring to it. Laced with rumors and preceded by reputation. Their fathers used to hang out. Drinking buddies down at the only local pub that hadn’t kicked them out yet. But that was before.

     

    OR: In the aftermath of the worst week of his life, Jonathan is grasping at straws trying to stay afloat. Eddie Munson might have just the thing to help him out.

    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

    By the time Steve actually gets to meet the Byers family, the whole of them, not just the lanky beautiful boy he keeps scrambling in through a window to see, there’s a whole other problem, aside from the secrets that Jon and Hop are hiding from them.

    The whole other problem is the tiny telepathic child who’s hovering awkwardly by Hop’s side. And the monsters leaking out of the woods. Real monsters too, not like the one that Jon likes to pretend he is.

    or: Steve and Jonathan stumbling towards something like forever, even as children with egos the size of Texas, frisbee haters, and the supernatural interfere.

    Summary

    “You know what’s funny about this?” Robin says, a smirk on her face that Steve doesn’t trust on principle.

    “Nothing?” Steve suggests.

    “You and Jonathan have, like, the complete opposite taste in music.”

    Steve sighs, long and suffering. “Yeah, Robin. I’m aware of that.”

    Or: modern AU where Steve and Jonathan are exes who still share the same Spotify account that they use to purposefully annoy each other as opposed to talking about their problems.

    Summary

    He hadn’t even made it twelve hours with things broken off with Jonathan before he’d gone out and done something batshit insane. And it’s not like he got drunk and woke up naked in his yard–something innocuous to the rest of the world, only really an embarrassment to himself–no, because that would be too simple. Instead, he’d gone and dragged the majority of Hawkins’ population into the fray.

    “Okay,” he mutters, finally facing himself in the mirror. “You messed up, okay? You fucked up, and things are bad, but there has to be a way out of this.”

    His reflection blinks back at him, offering neither answers nor solace for his current predicament.

    Here's a free tip if you're ever looking to live in a town like Hawkins, Indiana: never pay a cheerleader to perform a love spell on your sort-of ex-boyfriend.
