    Summary

    Jonathan Byers is a creep - and discovering the popular heart-throb, Steve Harrington, at his college, was one of the best thing to have ever happened to him. He fills the viewfinder of Jonathan's camera, the photos on his walls, and the notes in his journal. That is, until Steve unearths his dirty secret, and Jonathan realizes his version of Steve — the alluring, fratboy facade — does not align with the man confronting him now. Steve has a few secrets of his own.
    Perhaps, Steve Harrington is a creep, too.

    Summary

    After breaking up with his long-time partner, Steve Harrington moves in with his best friend, Robin. While he's thrilled to be there, he needs to get back on his feet. Robin has been working at a catalog-- modeling to put herself through college. She gets him a job, hoping he can do this until he gets his ducks in a row. While initially hesitant, Steve is surprised to find that he's good at this-- like really good at it. There's just one catch... he can't fucking stand the photographer. The guy is a total asshole. He's standoffish and rude, and definitely doesn't like Steve much either. Too bad Robin seems to like him and keeps inviting him out with them.

    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

    Jonathan’s head lolls to the side, and he smirks at him. “I wasn't trying to insult you,” he says, “sorry. I just meant- I’ve been kind of aimless, lately, so. I guess I’m trying to say thank you. You’ve helped.”

    Steve snorts. “What, because I’m another person for you to take care of?”

    The joke falls flat between them, and Steve suppresses a wince as Jonathan considers him for a long moment. “Is that what you think you are to me?” he asks quietly after a beat, and Steve’s heart leaps up to somewhere in his throat.

    Being friends with Jonathan is only weird if Steve makes it weird, right?
