Summary
“Still… there was a part of it that I kind of liked, you know? The adventure. The… family, the belonging. And that part, that I felt—it just grew larger when he said… he said that I’ve always been right there in that dream, for him. That I was the most important part of it. And I felt…” Nancy chuckles raggedly. “It was crazy, and he should’ve known that I never would have… I wasn't ready to hear it. It was unexpected, it wasn’t me, at least not all of it, and yet, somehow, despite all of that, I felt…
“God, I felt something. I know that now. I felt something for Steve.”
or:
Nancy doesn't run from her feelings this time. Observing from the outside, Jonathan—the person least likely to—ends up making sure of it.

Summary
Because who believes Nancy "I'm sure Steve will take you home" Wheeler is going to find it funny Steve Harrington has found the one, even if it's clearly a joke? Exactly: no one. That's who.
(Of Steve and Nancy, in the hours after the epilogue rooftop scene: What if they were already together? Only, Jonathan and (mostly) Robin had no clue.)

Summary
Maybe that’s the thing with Harrington. He has no siblings, absent parents, and his only true friends are amusingly the kids. No, he won her over. Gave up everything for her. Changed everything about himself for her.
Maybe that's the only way, Jonathan thinks, to convince Nancy Wheeler that you love her.
(or Jonathan POV of Steve and Nancy's journey breaking up and getting back together with this Everlark quote mixed in :))

Summary
“Ach—! Shite, Daddy, you scared the bejesus out of me!” Erin shrieks, jumping away from James who looks shell shocked, and turns red, though it is doing nothing to cover up the love bites all over his neck.
“I—You—“ Gerry stammers, dropping some cakes in surprise, “I’ll come back later!” And he slams the door as quickly as he’d opened it, and rushes back downstairs.
When he tells Mary about it, she sighs and just pats him on the back. “Oh, but Gerry, you’ve always been so blind to these things. The weans have been seeing each other since Year 10, or so. Even Sarah knows,” and his sister in law nods sagely at him from the breakfast table. “Wise up, love.”

James and Erin and how the whole crazy bunch of Derry find out about them.

Summary
December rolls around, as it usually does every year, and Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler are still laid up in Hawkins Memorial Hospital, as they will be for a while—or so Nancy's been told. So it's up to her to look after Holly and Mike, if they'll let her, and deal with the doctors to sort out recovery plans, if they'll listen to her, and clean the house up from that total wreck of a night over a month and a half ago when the world almost ended. And also maybe kind of try to make Christmas feel like anything resembling the stretched out shape of a holiday at all.
Nancy has a lot on her plate. Probably could use something to take her mind off it all.
And Steve's been Christmas shopping anyway, so he may as well look around. Just in case.

Summary
This, she will take to the grave: all that she rebukes, she craves. To be held, and held together. If that is such a sin, she will be the first to the flame, again and again, no matter how many lessons she learns.
(Nancy is the consummate hypocrite. This is the first lesson.)

Summary
His car smelled the same, the leather cushions hugged her body the same, but the feeling of riding passenger to Steve Harrington didn't feel the same. Not the way it did two years prior when a simple drive could lead to them fogging up the windows. Not the way it did two months ago when Steve told her about his dream of six little nuggets.
Six? Was he crazy? She'd maybe have two.
And not with him.
So.. with Jonathan?
The sink hole reopened in her stomach.
OR
Nancy feels suffocated now that the Byers have moved in.
