Summary
The bottle directly in the middle shattered into a million little pieces, glittering against the rusty hood of the car, and Steve finally lowered the revolver, letting it hang dejectedly at his side.
"I guess this is just, like, the one thing she can't teach me, huh? Even though she's probably the only person who could." Steve rubbed a hand over his jaw.
"Doesn't Robin hate guns?" Jonathan asked, baffled, and Steve barked out another laugh.
"Oh, well isn't that ironic." Steve said, his mouth crooked like he was making a joke that Jonathan didn't quite understand.
Or: Jonathan teaches Steve to shoot and realizes there might be more to him than what he originally thought.

Summary
✶ Fanart illustrations by the author are included. ✶
For seven years, Jonathan Byers lived in California with his mother and Eleven, before finally mustering the courage to return to Hawkins. Familiar faces resurface. For better or worse, Jonathan has changed, grown up—and so have Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler, who he left behind in 1984.
As tensions rise, buried memories and lingering feelings rear their ugly head—forcing Jonathan to face why he came back to Hawkins, and to bear the weight of his trauma, unrequited love, and the truth.
Or, a story in which Will Byers never escaped the Upside Down.
✶ Loosely follows canon, to the best of my ability—but stops at season one. ✶

Summary
“Sorry to bother you so late. I- uh, actually didn’t think you’d be out here tonight, I should’ve called, i guess, but I’ve just been kind of stressed lately with school and work and finals and stuff, and I… y’know..”
a coy expression crept up on Eddie’s face as Jonathan’s rambling trailed off
“… You wanna buy some weed?” He asked, knowing the answer.
Or:
Summer vacation is around the corner, most people are studying for their exames, neither Eddie nor Jonathan are most people though. -

Summary
Jonathan knew this was a long time coming. He wasn’t shocked. He’d done both the pining and the dancing around each other with Nancy. He knew what it looked like, knew what it felt like, he knew how shitty it could feel, and how good it felt when they finally crossed that bridge. So he was happy for Robin and Vickie, he really was.
But he could only focus on his brother.Jonathan Byers considers himself a very observant person, but, as it turns out, he’s been missing something rather large for some time now.

Summary
Eddie steps to the side and ushers him down the hallway with a flourish, and for some reason his feet remain glued to the spot. He can’t seem to tear his eyes away from where they’ve landed, which is dead center of one of the tattoos on Eddie’s forearm.
“What is that?”
Eddie looks at his arm and then back up at Jon.
“Uh, a cluster of bats?”
“No, that one,” he says, tapping the space below the bats.
“Oh, uh, it was going to be a film canister, but uh, Tex fell asleep mid-session soooo.”
“Why a film canister?”
“Best storage container for dried herbs,” Eddie says with a wink.
“I have a ton of those, you could have them.”
Eddie blinks at him.
“For free, I mean, it’s not like I’m using them. Just the film.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Can I take a picture of that?”
Eddie blinks at him again. -

Summary
“Okay, no, no, it’s not like that,” Steve says quickly. “Just — do you remember that night you guys got the mindflayer out of Will, and El closed the gate, and I got my ass kicked by that asshole Hargrove, and we all crashed at your place, only I didn’t have anything to wear to bed, so you guys were letting everyone borrow clothes to sleep in?”
Jonathan does remember that. But that doesn’t explain why the t-shirt he let Steve borrow is still here, with Steve staring at it like he’s seen a ghost.
“I don't…” Jonathan trails off. “But why would you keep it?”
Steve doesn’t say anything. He scratches the back of his neck, his face looking slightly flushed.
