    Summary

    “I heard a rumor amidst my return, that you and Mr. Jonathan Byers are courting. I should offer my congratulations."

    Now Nancy peered at him, crossing her arms. "Should or will?"

    Steve only smiled, a little melancholy. "I am happy for you, if you are happy too. I have no stake in who you choose to be with."

    But do you wish to? Nancy thought fleetingly. I wonder if you still do.

     
     

    OR: March 1816. Just as the London social season is beginning, Nancy is thrown back into the past when her first love returns to town, raising not only rumors about their past entanglement, but bringing dormant feelings rushing back to the surface.

    Summary

    He’d actually looked the word up in a dictionary once. Idiot. Not too long ago, back when he’d been bored and killing time and— okay also maybe because people kept using big words around him that he didn’t understand, and he wanted to be a little less of an idiot. And so since he had the book on hand anyway, why not look it up?

    Obviously, he knew what it meant. He’d heard it over and over. But it was different being told something and actually seeing and learning it firsthand. And so he was curious. Curious like you’re curious about the meaning of your name. This thing that defines you.

    What does it mean to be Steve Harrington?

    What does it mean to be an idiot?



    Steve has spent years being the reliable babysitter, punching bag, and emotional support ex-boyfriend. Nancy's been moving forward while looking back, telling herself she isn't about to hit a brick wall. Eventually something's gotta give.

    A post-non-canon-compliant season 5 story about denial having a short shelf life and that eventually you're gonna have to eat your vegetables. Pretend that made sense.

    Featuring: long overdue emotional breakdowns
