Summary
“It was you.”
Jonathan blinked at him, confused, as Steve said it and didn’t add anything else.
“Me… What?”
“It was you I was trying to impress. Not Nancy.”
Or: What would happen if Steve actually agreed to go with Jonathan? Some feelings might finally rise to the surface in a room that’s slowly filling.

Summary
Steve’s eyes softened. “Yeah. Because I do care, Byers. Can’t you see that I do? I mean- fuck. I care for you so fucking much that I’m scared to accept it,” Steve blurted out,
“…because I’ve made this image for myself, and in it I can’t even consider caring for you!”
The words hung between them, small and fragile, but they hit Jonathan harder than he expected.
A moment of silence followed by a change in closeness. Steve’s hand brushed against Jonathan’s arm accidentally- or maybe not…And yet, neither of them moved away.
Jonathan’s breath hitched slightly, the tension in the air crackling. He could feel Steve’s heartbeat against him, rapid and nervous.
“I…” Jonathan began, voice low, then stopped. He swallowed, stepping closer until their bodies were nearly touching. “I care for you. I also care for you, Steve…But I- we shouldn’t…”

Summary
Steve sort of feels like maybe he spent his whole life mourning what his father was and now that he’s dead, maybe it’ll be like Jonathan said. Maybe he’ll need to mourn everything he wasn’t.
Or: Steve's dad dies suddenly and he doesn't know how to process his grief. Jonathan, however, is there to help hold him together.

Summary
Joe moved to London to escape his past habits. An unassuming bookstore in the downtown area was the perfect place for that, right? But what happens when the charming potential mayor of London waltzes into his store and makes an impression?
(This is a full rewrite of S4 from start to finish focusing on Rhys and Joe's relationship and essentially bonnie and clyde-ifying them. Everything S1-3 is canon and adhered to, and Rhys is real. This is rated explicit in expectation of where this is going, which is nowhere holy.)
