Summary
Stranger Things AU – Post-Canon (S5)
What happens when the boy you once called your enemy becomes the only future you can picture?
Hawkins is quiet again. The gates are sealed, the world stitched back together. The kids have scattered. Robin left without looking back. Nancy chose her path, like she always does.
Jonathan Byers stayed longer than he meant to, caught between dreams too big and a town too small. Steve Harrington never left at all—now coaching baseball at Hawkins High, pretending that staying was always the plan.
They run into each other one night in the empty gym. Jonathan’s there for a photoshoot. Steve’s just turning off the lights.
They’ve shared Nancy. Demogorgons. More scars than either of them will admit. They’ve always looked at each other sideways—unfinished sentences, swallowed apologies, years of silence.
But one conversation becomes another. Old grudges unravel. The past softens.
And when Jonathan, half-serious and half-terrified, says, “Come to New York with me. Rent’s cheaper if we split it,”
Steve has to decide whether he still knows how to walk away.

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
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.)
