    Summary

    Steve Harrington had been handed the world on a silver platter. By twenty-two, he'd sold millions of records and was headlining the Indianapolis Summer Music Festival.

    By the same age, Jonathan Byers had just graduated from Indiana State, broke, in debt, still living at home, working two jobs on top of his photography assignments for the Indianapolis Star; and he had only requested working the main stage because it meant his girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler, would get to see Steve Harrington live.

    Whatever made her happy. It wasn't like he had to like the guy.

    Nancy comes to school on Monday to find 'SLUT' scrawled across her locker in red paint.

    It's nice to be back to normal, she thinks.

    Summary

    "Sometimes, Jonathan catches himself looking down at his scarred palm and remembering the feel of her fingertips tracing over it. He thinks about this mark much more frequently than the one on his hip. It feels more significant; He’d given this one to himself, after all. They’d chosen it together, him and Nancy, standing in his living room. Knife to palm."

    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

    Calling the monster a demogorgon did not make it any easier to fight, only to identify it. Having a name for the symptoms only serves to label the beast. It does nothing to stop you from reliving it. Is the passage of time a curse or a cure? You don’t know anymore, and you’ve twisted yourself into knots trying to sort it out.

    or Jonathan Byers muses about the passage of time.
