His shoes crunch against the loose gravel as he turns to glance at Jonathan, one hand tight around the door. “Or you can tell yourself we’re gonna find Hopper sitting here all night in this piece of junk. Because newsflash, Byers—” Steve braces his forearm against the doorframe, “We aren’t.”

Summary
The Loki series ended with a huge cliffhanger, and if it broke you as much as it broke me, you’ve come to the right place. This story explores an alternate reality, one where Sylvie doesn’t push Loki away after their tender moment. One where they figure it out together.
