Summary
Nancy untwists her hands and smooths them down the front of her skirt. "Look. What if we just…say it at the same time?"
"Oh." Jonathan clears his throat. "Yeah. Okay. Uh, on three?"
He doesn't realize how childish the idea sounds until after he's said it, but if anything, Nancy looks relieved. "Sure. On three."
"Okay," Jonathan nods. "One…two..."
“Three," Nancy finishes.
And then he blurts, “I don’t think I like having sex,” at the same time as Nancy says, “I think I like Steve.”

Summary
“Not into the whole superhero thing, then?” Steve asks Nancy.
“Of course she isn’t,” Jonathan mutters. “Nancy cares about real journalism.”
Steve raises his eyebrows. “And Spider-Man isn’t?”
“A man in tights swinging from webs?” Jonathan deadpans. “Definitely not, no.”
In which: Jonathan is the unfortunate Daily Bugle intern tasked with taking pictures of New York's new favorite superhero, Steve struggles with the trials and tribulations of maintaining a secret identity, and Nancy is just trying to do some actual goddamn investigative journalism for once.
Or, an au where Steve is Spider-Man.

Summary
“So let me get this straight,” Steve says, crossing his arms and looking at Jonathan, unimpressed. “Your little brother is acting weird – weirder than usual, I should say – and you want my help spying on him to figure out what’s wrong? Why are you asking me?”
He doesn’t say what he’s really thinking: why aren’t you asking Nancy? But judging by the way Jonathan looks away, Steve thinks Jonathan understands regardless.
Jonathan shrugs, looking embarrassed. “You’re just…good with them. The kids, I mean. And I know that Will trusts you.”
In which: Nancy is dating Jonathan, but she's also dating Steve, and Steve may or may not be developing feelings for his girlfriend's other boyfriend.

Summary
Having lived his entire life in a small town obsessed with Christmas, Jonathan has grown to resent the holiday. It doesn't help that the influx of visiting tourists staying at the Byers Bed & Breakfast for the season makes it their busiest time of year. When Nancy Wheeler arrives feeling disappointed her boyfriend is stuck in New York for their vacation, Jonathan offers to keep her company while she does all the touristy stuff. It's only supposed to be a friendly favor, but the more time they spend together, the easier it is for Jonathan to fall for her. Is it so crazy to think Nancy would be happier with him than she is with her asshole big-city boyfriend who couldn't be bothered to spend Christmas with his girlfriend?
But then Steve Harrington finally shows up, and Jonathan realizes he might've been wrong. Not only does Steve not seem like the asshole Jonathan thought he was, but he and Nancy actually look happy together. Obviously, it's time for Jonathan to face the fact that his feelings are unrequited and move on.
It'd be easier to do, probably, if Steve and Nancy would stop inviting Jonathan along on their dates.
or: a stoncy hallmark au
