âYeah,â Jonathan breathes out. âIâm okay.â Itâs not really true. But heâs still standing, so it canât be a complete lie.
Can it?
Or, following Starcourt and the destruction of their cabin, Hopper and Eleven move in with the Byers. Life goes on. Jonathan struggles to go on with it.
But somewhere along the way, between breaking his hand, getting to know his two new roommates while reckoning with the changes between his two family members, falling (further) in love with Nancy and Steve, and witnessing his new household become a new familyâand also just because itâs always inevitableâJonathan gets there.

Lynette Scavo had a dream that night. It was one sheâd had many times before. But this night, something changed. This was the last time Lynette would ever dream of me, and for her sake, I am grateful.

omg ok put in the tags a food that makes u feel like life is worth living when you eat it. like u eat it and itâs soo good and everythingâs fine actually
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast⌠try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen⌠the time will stretch and youâll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

when people die early in a story but their death sets the tone for the whole story and to an extent sets everything in motion even if the story isnât about their death⌠thatâs good shit right there!
Lying facedown in adulthood today, which, while not physically possible, is very much the mood. Would anybody like a small Sunday sample of some writing, and if so, are there any preferences for which story.
Okay your likes are appreciated but none of you actually answered me, so here is a piece of the Steve/Nancy/Jonathan bodyswap fic. Enjoy! Or don't, I guess.
...
âStop preening,â Nancy says, annoyed, from the doorway. âYou look fine. Itâs not even you wearing it. Letâs just go and get this over with, so we can go find El and get swapped back.â
âJonathanâs going to be so offended when he finds out you hate his body and his life this much,â Steve teases, turning away from the mirror.
Judging by the way Jonathanâs face pinches up, though, Nancy hasnât taken it as a joke.
âI donât hate Jonathanâs life,â she says, sounding so genuinely wounded that, for a moment, Steve feels like an absolute shit. âAnd believe me, I definitely donât hate his body.â
âNancy. Come on.â
The smile that flickers across Nancyâs borrowed face is there and gone in an instant. But Steve still thinks it looks unexpectedly mischievous.
Heâs not prepared for how much he suddenly misses seeing her smile like that. Making her smile like that. Heâd been pleasantly surprised, when theyâd dated, by just how much trouble good-girl Nancy Wheeler was willing and eager to get into, with just a little permission. Just a little encouragement, from the right person. At least, until Steve had suddenly turned into the wrong person. Or maybe until the kind of trouble he wanted to encourage her towards somehow became the wrong kind.
Steve tries not to wonder what kind of trouble sheâs been getting into with Jonathan. Whether she even does, anymore, now that sheâs taken down the lab. Whether Jonathanâs annoyingly down-to-earth responsible streak keeps her on the straight and narrow.
Steve tries not to wonder whether itâs Nancy who encourages Jonathan into mischief. Or what Jonathan Byers cutting loose and doing something a little wild and crazy even looks like.
He fails. Miserably.
Nancyâs amusement doesnât last long, though. âI just want to fix this. As soon as we possibly can.â
âYeah. I wouldnât really want to get saddled with some of my exes, either,â Steve says, trying to make it sound light. Like it really is just a joke.
He canât read the look Nancy gives him.
âWe donât know for sure what caused this,â she says, quiet but intense. âElevenâs powers have been gone for months. If this was her, that means somethingâs changed. If it wasnât her, then that means thereâs someone â or something â else out there, messing with us. And nobodyâs even seen Eleven since this morning. So you can waste all the time you want worrying about whether green suits my complexion, or whether youâll be back to yourself before youâre supposed to take Robin out tonight, or having to sit down to pee, or whatever. I want to get swapped back and go find Jonathan as soon as possible. Something weird is going on, and I donât want to only find out what after itâs already eaten somebody I care about!â
Steve bites down on his â Nancyâs â tongue.
The only words he can summon up in response to that are the absolutely genius, âRobin and I arenât dating.â
Nancy snorts, crossing Jonathanâs arms over her chest. âPlease. Youâve spent basically every waking moment together since the mall.â
âYeah, well, getting kidnapped and tortured with somebody gives you a special kind of relationship.â
Nancyâs expression goes â kind of frozen. Like sheâs very deliberately not freaking out. âTortured?â
A slow sort of panic steals over Steve as he tries to remember if heâd ever filled her in on what, exactly, happened to him on the Fourth of July. Maybe he hadnât. But then, had she really not even wondered about the black eye and all the blood and bruising? Did she â did she think he just got his ass kicked again?
Which, actually, now that Steveâs thinking about it, is a more reasonable and sensible assumption to make than âkidnapped and beaten and tortured for information by Russian thugs in their secret base hidden underneath the mallâ. Maybe he canât actually blame her. Although it stings, even knowing she has less than zero interest in him anymore, to think that Nancy Wheeler just assumes Steve canât hold his own in a fight.
âYeah,â he says, after what he realises is too long a silence. âBut Henderson busted us out before they could break out the bone saw, so, yâknow, no harm, no foul.â
Nancy just keeps giving him that frozen, incredulous look.
âJonathanâs mom has the right idea,â she says, at last. âWhy do any of us still live in this town.â

i think itâs really funny when fandom people make fun of nonfandom people for not recognizing a fandom url. shit like âjackstanifoldâ or âstrifesuccubusâ or âhobocopâ are not immediately recognizable as fandom references dude
âYou read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.â
â James Baldwin, Conversations with James Baldwin
