Summary
Stranger Things AU – Post-Canon (S5)
What happens when the boy you once called your enemy becomes the only future you can picture?
Hawkins is quiet again. The gates are sealed, the world stitched back together. The kids have scattered. Robin left without looking back. Nancy chose her path, like she always does.
Jonathan Byers stayed longer than he meant to, caught between dreams too big and a town too small. Steve Harrington never left at all—now coaching baseball at Hawkins High, pretending that staying was always the plan.
They run into each other one night in the empty gym. Jonathan’s there for a photoshoot. Steve’s just turning off the lights.
They’ve shared Nancy. Demogorgons. More scars than either of them will admit. They’ve always looked at each other sideways—unfinished sentences, swallowed apologies, years of silence.
But one conversation becomes another. Old grudges unravel. The past softens.
And when Jonathan, half-serious and half-terrified, says, “Come to New York with me. Rent’s cheaper if we split it,”
Steve has to decide whether he still knows how to walk away.

Summary
Jonathan Byers didn’t believe in soulmates. Not in the sense that they didn’t exist. He knew they were out there– in theory. He wasn’t naive enough to think that he’d actually find his. He also didn’t buy into the belief that you couldn’t live a happy life without finding your soulmate. He didn’t know anyone who had found their soulmate and they all lived perfectly happy and normal lives. There was just one benefit of finding a soulmate. Colors. The moment a person and their soulmate touch, their worlds are flooded with vibrant, beautiful colors. Without that person, you were stuck in a world of black and white. When Will goes missing, finding his soulmate is the last thing on Jonathan’s mind that is until he punches Steve Harrington in the face and his world is flooded with color.
