Summary
“Are you comparing my relationship with Jonathan to the Fall of the Roman Empire?” Steve asked Robin. “Because even I think that’s a little dramatic.”
Robin snorted.
“No,” she shrugged. "The history between you two is so much less important than the disintegration of European superpowers. But," she added, "it's hard to forget pain. You want to know what’s even harder to remember?”
“What?” he dared to ask.
“Sweetness. We have no scars to remember happiness by. But acts of violence? Of destruction? Of personal moral failings? Those are the things that matter. Those are the things that people carry with them.” Then, she reached over and lifted up his hand, flipping it over to observe his knuckles: there was a long, red line that wrapped up and around his wrist and her thumb brushed alongside the skin where it was silvery and smooth. Steve knew exactly where the mark had come from, and so did Robin. “So how many scars did you leave Jonathan with?” she then asked.
Again, Steve paused.
“I don’t know,” he finally answered honestly as Robin’s hand dropped. But if he had to think about it, there must have been a few.

Summary
Jonathan listens to Steve's voice and hears home in each syllable, listening too hard for the hint of anything else without hearing what he wants, and doesn't catch any of the content. He supposes it doesn't matter, anyways. Nothing is resolving into the pictures he takes the way he wants them to, nothing matching up to the words he sees dancing around in his head. It’s just sharp feelings and unfinished sentences, moments he can see that need to be arranged carefully, but can’t quite be captured by his camera yet.
Steve should have never kissed him.

Summary
He has no reason to be this flustered over a wink. Over a pair of stupidly pretty magazine cover eyes staring at him, specifically at him.
Nope. None at all.
(Or: The Byers-Hopper family runs a coffee shop, and Jonathan is the one manning the counter when a storm rolls in— said storm being Steve bringing the Party over for some post-game pastries.)

Summary
And, shit, that’s Shakespearean, right? His ex-boyfriend stole his now ex-girlfriend right from under his nose. He wonders if it was some sort of revenge for how Steve treated him, but Jonathan’s not like that.
Or: Steve reminisces on his relationship with Jonathan, because I love the idea that they were a thing before Steve met Nancy.
Warnings for mentions of canon-typical child abuse and the word queer being used in a derogatory sense.

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.
