    Summary

    Joanna knows what’s wrong with her—she knows she’s not normal. She knows she doesn’t belong anywhere, and although she’s starting to be proved wrong, she’s still not used to it. And she knows, most importantly of all, that she’s not supposed to look at Stevie Harrington the way she does.
    That doesn’t mean she doesn’t still do it.

    (gender-swapped Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers--aka Stevie and Joanna--and the gaps between seasons.)

    Summary

    Wake up. Vomit. Try and hide a massive hangover. Avoid Nancy. Put on a suit. Drink water. Drink more water. Give the best damn speech of all time, one that puts Mike's pedantic bullshit one to shame. Clink glasses with Steve, because yeah—his was definitely better. Hug Mrs. Wheeler, offering her his congratulations. Do the same with the groom. Ask how Ted is doing. Share a dance with Robin. Eat cake. Retire to his hotel room. Fall asleep and—

    Wake up.

    It's Tuesday again. The sort of day where the sun only rises to humiliate you.

    Jonathan blinks. Okay. Let's try this again. They've only got eternity, and one of these days something has got to work, right?

    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

    “If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”

    Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

    Summary

    “Age of Consent” by New Order blares out, loud enough for Jonathan to hear across the room.  He had been there when Steve chose it a few months ago during another war room: “‘Age of Consent’ is good, I guess.” 

    “It can’t be I guess, dingus!  It has to be enough to save you from a brutal interdimensional death!” Robin snapped.  

    Steve had rolled his eyes.  “What’s Vecna gonna want with me anyways, Rob?  I’ll do ‘Age of Consent.’” 

    Jonathan had known, that night, that it might be the wrong choice.  But he didn’t say anything because it had been years and he could be wrong and maybe some selfish, petty part of him didn’t want to give Steve the satisfaction of Jonathan still knowing.

    Something lifts Steve off of the couch.

    “It’s not working!” Robin screams.  

    And Jonathan knows why it isn’t working.  He remembers.  Whatever high school bullshit Steve has put him through doesn’t particularly matter in the face of watching him be destroyed and turned inside out.  So Jonathan, calmer than he feels, says, “It’s Hank Williams.  Do you have Hank Williams?”
