#stonathan fan fic

[campbyler]

You guys definitely should invest in writing some sort of background for stonathan ☺️

hi! we definitely have thought about their background in depth and the lore has been Established, as well as a potential idea for a stonathan companion oneshot, but unfortunately the fic itself and more relevant companion fics are taking up so much time and effort that stonathan is lowwwww low low on our priority list :/ rest assured that if we each magically came up with ten more hours in the day we would be On It with the investment 🫡

January. Midterms, playoff season, film projects.

or,

Nancy makes a list and finds herself falling in love with Steve all over again. And then there's Jonathan, too.

(part 5/10)

[fortnightdjo]

This is how I feel everytime I read a stonathan fan fic and they either 1.) Make one of them cheat on Nancy, or 2.) they hate Nancy and mischaracterize her so bad it’s insane. Plz just let them be happy :(

I know you're a big fan of Byler, but are there other ST ships you enjoy?

Ships I love: Lumax, elmax, jancy, jopper, byclair,

Ships I’m more casual about: rockie, ronance, Buckingham, steddie, duzie, henderhop, hopclair, stonathan, stoncy, and this is so niche but Karen x mrs. Henderson (because of that one fic I read where mike came out as gay at the same time that Karen came out as a lesbian to mike. that fic changed me as a person lol)

What Polyamory Does For The It Fandom VS In The St Fandom.

These are some brain worms I've had for a while and I've decided to share, regardless if it makes some people mad. Although that is truly not the intent of this post. Anyways. If you haven't been in the It fandom and only have stayed in the St fandom this post may not make sense but I do encourage you to read it.

I joined the It fandom in 2017. I'm one of those few people who were in the It fandom first before moving over to also join the St fandom in late late 2017/early 2018. I had a blog for consuming content but I didn't start making content until 2020 for the It fandom and more recently and regularly for the St fandom. Anywho what I'm trying to say is that I've seen a lot.

I loved many ships in the It fandom and one of the main ships is Poly Losers Club. This is the first fandom I've seen where a poly ship was one of the more popular ones. Even if someone didn't ship all the Losers, throuple and quatrouples (is that how you say it?) have always been popular in this fandom.

Because it is almost unanimously agreed across the fandom, that whether platonically or romantically, all the Losers love each other. Even the most die hard of reddie shippers, the fandom's most popular ship, can often agree on certain fanon headcannons, Stan and Richie practiced their first kiss on each other, Eddie's first crush was on poor oblivious Bill. And that comes back to the agreement that all the Losers love each other. Ships in this fandom have never had an issue coexisting. If someone shipped something different from someone it was always more like "oh that's not my favorite but I definitely see where you're coming from'" OR they're like "yeah no they're in love too," Hardly ever any belittling or any superiority complexes.

That's what makes being in this fandom fun and easy.

Poly Losers even often features a gay man and a women and I've read many beautiful fics where this is explained as they're more best friends than lovers but Eddie doesn't love Bev any less because she's a woman. This fandom allows Eddie and Bev to have an amazing and emotionally intimate relationship because I feel like this fandom does understand, for the most part, that platonic love is just as important as romantic love.

Now on to the St fandom. There are some poly party shippers out there but they are far and few. And there is SO MUCH shipping discourse. Yes I could talk about Mileven and Byler but come on, it goes beyond that. It's with Jany and Stancy, Ronance and Rockie. Elmax and Lumax, and Steddie and Stonathan. Just about every ship you think of there is an alternate ship that people will fight for. They will belittle you for shipping something they don't, and insist that your ship is nothing but platonic. That,,,that just doesn't happen in the It fandom. You know the joke, "All the Losers had a crush on Bill at one point," I think that in itself says a lot. Bill, the arguably least liked character, (my poor bb), has the joke that all the losers had a crush on him at one point.

I'm getting off track. Anyways I'm not saying that shipping everyone together in a poly sense would fix everything with these shipping wars but i do believe why there was never any shipping wars in the It fandom was because of Poly Losers. Also when I talk about poly in St I mean it like Poly Party and Poly teenage crew. Not together, I hate that I have to clarify that.

In the St fandom, it's just not as universally agreed that everyone loves each other, even in the basic platonic sense. All anyone seems to care about in the St fandom is romantic love. A lot of shippers want to be right, they want to prove that their ship will be cannon which just,,,sucks the fun right out fandom spaces.

Canon, fanon, why can't people just make cute fan art and talk in babbles about thoughts they have on a ship. Why do you have to be right about what's going to be the canon ship? Why do certain people feel the need to put down and even to the extent as far as bullying people who ship something different? I've never seen a fandom so focused on 'canon pairings' like the st fandom. (Side note I was never in the sherlock and supernatural fandoms, I knew to mention this)

The party, like the losers, are friends who have been through turmoil that have bound them together for a lifetime. I don't care what pairing you give me from st, whether it be a platonic or a romantic one, I will tell you that those characters deeply care for each other.

Side note: it's worth a mention that the Duffer brothers originally wanted to film the It remake and when they didn't get it, we got Stranger Things. It can be argued that the Party is based off the Losers club so you know what that means? THEY ALL LOVE EACH OTHER. Take it as platonic or romantic idc.

Again, I don't think that poly party is the answer to ending the shipping wars. I do think however that if people could remember how much the party members mean to each other, that that could make less tiring fandom spaces.

Okay I'm done. I just thought this was an interesting point on how it's been like in the It fandom vs the St fandom.

Wait I was doing tags and I forgot to mention that there are few people who ship Elumax and Stoncy, two throuples and kudos to them. They're just worth a mention, I didn't forget about ya'll

[willow-lark]

one thing about me is that i will always and forever be a stoncy girly. i occasionally rb posts about them but i'm mainyl involved in the byler fandom atm so i don't talk ab them as much as i want to. anyways

stoncy is really interesting to think about particularly considering where things are in canon for the three of them right now. so, firstly, my thoughts on that:

i am 100% rooting for jancy endgame in-show. i'm not a fan of love triangles (hence why i started shipping stoncy in the first place, they all have chemistry n i think they should all kiss each other at the exact same time) but up until s4 there was no reason to think that jancy wouldn't be endgame, and honestly i'm upset that the writers brought stancy back in, considering that steve's s3 arc was all about him learning he doesn't need romantic love to fulfill his life, and what he and nancy each want in life simply are not compatible. jancy r iconic. jancy r goals. jancy had a whole speech in s4 talking about all the things they love about the other. although they've hit a slight rough patch due to jonathan's conflicting desires in supporting her goals while also being there for his family which has historically needed a lot of his support, they just need to get on the same page about this. they WILL prevail i KNOW this i TRUST

okay, lark, you say. if ur so obsessed with jancy endgame then why stoncy at all? AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY.

it all comes down to stonathan. also shoutout to @messrsbyler for championing the stonathan agenda lately. we should all attempt to live up to your example. SO TRUE.

so. post-s1 era in-show. or, honestly, u can rework this and make it fit at any point in the timeline. but anyways: nancy's with steve, they r trying and somewhat struggling to make it work (though they did last an entire YEAR so kudos for that ig). nancy VERY obviously has feelings for jonathan, who hangs out with her sometimes but is generally avoiding both of them. and honestly? steve thinks jonathan's pretty cool too. and, like, he spent a while treating jonathan like shit so he should probably try and make it up to him. right??? AND THEN THEY KISS.

no, but actually: steve's the type not to even realize that he's actually in love with jonathan. he's like, well, nancy loves him, and i love nancy, so... (that's the transitive property, right? i don't remember anything from 5th grade math class.) he doesn't even realize it's gay of him to feel that way. (NOTE: stoncy r bi4bi4bi and you WILL NOT be changing my mind.) if u extend the timeline to post-s3, robin might be able to help him w this LOL, i've read a really good fic or two where that's the case

on the other side, i feel like jonathan would have an easier time accepting his feeling, especially now that steve is making an effort to make friends with him. not to digress about the byers brothers but i'm gonna. when it comes to accepting his bisexuality jonathan doesn't have nearly as much internalized homophobia to deal with as will does regarding being gay. will has really internalized all of the things lonnie/the bullies have said about him, whereas jonathan is openly defiant of them. but in true byers fashion, he's not gonna make a move about it.

honestly i'm inclined to say that nancy, the girlboss that she is, (perhaps along with robin, again, if the timeline goes later) is the one to witness stonathan making goo-goo eyes at each other and she's like. you know what. this Might Actually solve 90% of my problems. so SHE'S the one who prompts them into it. but to be completely honest all three of them are so completely dramatic about everything so i could even see it all coming down to robin and maybe argyle to force them to get their shit together 😆

this is honestly just one way that it could go down, i've read a lot of different iterations and i love them all.

[castlebyersafterdark]

Are there any other ships on the show you don't like besides milkvan? I have to say I definitely don't like stancy. I feel like stancy shippers are mostly Steve fans who only care about what Steve wants and his endgame. Also they all want Jonathan to die so Nancy has no choice but to end up with Steve (as if that was her only choice to end up with the guy who doesn't die). Stancy really should have been left behind in the dust back in s2. I get that they needed proper closer but I don't think a triangle is the way to do it. With that being said I do ship stonathan as a crack ship, so I don't hate Steve. I just hate stancy. Steve and Nancy are better off being friends.

Yeah, I agree with you on Stancy. It served its purpose in seasons 1 and 2 and I don't have a problem with that narrative and sequence of events. I like Nancy being with Steve, having that complicated first love and realizing it isn't love, and then moving on and getting with Jonathan. So it had to happen that way. But, I wasn't a big fan of returning to it in 4. I just think there could have been something different done with the older teens storyline in 4, and that's a big reason I just find them all so uninteresting anymore, other than Jonathan with Cali crew was pretty good, but Mike and Will and Argyle stole the show on that plot.

Most Steve fans I've found literally care about NOTHING else in the show so it's a big avoid avoid avoid for me even though I'm actually a really big Steve fan?? For what he is on the show though!! He's actually in my top 5 (Will -> Mike -> Robin -> Hopper -> Steve). Stonathan is fun, for a purely indulgent fandom thing. I think they're so funny as a pair. I much prefer them to Steddie. There's really no other ships within the show I dislike so it turns to fandom.

Not a fan of Steddie at all, and I can be mature and admit it's partial jealousy and bitterness as a Byler shipper. They get all that fanart and fic that's a higher rating which is just always been a part of fandom and yet we are lacking here so. Envy. Because I don't find them that interesting or see the chemistry, even if I mentally am treating Steve like the town bicycle hahaha. Hmm. Not much else. Most little fanon ships I just kinda don't care about but they don't bother me because they're never gonna happen in the show and people are just having fun.

Here's a potential shocker I know I've hinted at - I really, really like Jopper. And some people just hate Hopper so much and I know he's controversial but I like that he's a big damn mess and Joyce is a big damn mess and them together is messy but oh, they are so good together. I actually read Jopper fic 🤭🤭 One, it's fun and interesting to see how the other side lives. Not all of my reading adventures are for seeking out specific things I'm into. Most fic I read is actually sfw because that's just what's common around here. But oooh I do like to read a good spicy Jopper fic. Because they deserve it and I just want them to be happy and get it on, ok!!!!

Stonathan Sundays

I'm thinking of this as a spiritual predecessor to one of my Stonathan week fics in which you'll learn more about just why Jonathan hates the dark. Till then, enjoy this on-the-spot Stonathan Sunday ficlet! @stonathanweek

"I'm not a big fan of the dark."

Steve looked up from where he was trying to piece together the map that Dustin had given him before he headed out on patrol. Jonathan sat on the other side of said map, looking blankly through the slats of the boarded over window beside them. The little shack of a house that the two had found themselves taking shelter in was long abandoned like most of the area around Hawkins, but you could still see the glowing red sky above what was formerly town center. It was growing and none of them were certain how much longer their rag-tag group could hold back the worst of the things crawling out of the cracks before they had to evacuate like most of the town already had.

"I don't think any of us are. Even with that thing lighting the sky every night," Steve gestured towards the glowing sky, trying to smile through dirt and muck he knew he was covered in. Their patrol had been a bit of a mess, and they might have been a bit lost, hence the taking shelter in the abandoned shack.

"No, I mean," Steve didn't think it was possible for Jonathan to sound frustrated like that, not after finally getting to know the guy, but he clearly was as he turned away from the window. "I mean from before all this. I hate it. Literally will go into a panic attack because of the dark or being closed in. And I'm telling you this because I know I'm already close to one. And I don't want to deal with that and you don't want to deal with that, so I'm letting you know." He finished off that little ramble with a shrug.

Steve frowned. It was hard for him to read Jonathan's face with the shadows growing across the room, but that ever-present stoicism plastered onto Jonathan's face and voice was undercut with a hint of growing fear. Steve looked around the room, spotting the pile he had seen of old yellow books and newspapers that had been left behind. "Okay, then we'll make it not dark anymore," he said, getting up to grab the first few pieces off the pile before walking over to the old wood stove in the corner. "Do you know how to light one of these?"

There is a hitch in Jonathan's breathing and Steve hears him move closer more than sees him, "Yes, but we need more than just that to get it going."

It took some scavenging, mainly done by Steve, to find some kindling and wood to add to the newspaper, but he looked over at Jonathan when he could, watching the soft glow of the fire that was growing light up his features as he used the lighter he always carried to help get it going. When Jonathan finally deemed it enough, Steve sat back down next to him, watching his face as Jonathan's eyes were trained on the fire before them.

There was something warm and strong in the air that didn't come from the growing heat. Something that Steve realized came from this thing between him and Jonathan. Steve couldn't pinpoint when it started, if it was new or he'd been oblivious to its existance all the way back to that day three years ago when Jonathan punched some sense into him and then saved his life causing Steve to do the same. But he knew that he definitely noticed it now that the two were stuck in such close proximity all of the time. To the point that Steve wanted to choose Jonathan as his patrol partner rather than the girls and be around him more. Have him shyly grab his hand again and maybe more.

"Is that better?" Steve congratulated himself when Jonathan didn't startle from his voice. He so easily did and was so naturally quiet.

But he didn't this time. Jonathan turned to Steve, a slight smile on his face as it glowed red in the firelight. "Yes," he quietly murmured before shifting, surprising Steve as he leaned into his side. Steve couldn't suppress his grin any longer, feeling it spread across his own face as he moved his arm around Jonathan to pull him in closer. "It's perfect."

alright time to write an essay detailing whatever yaoi has done to my girl nancy wheeler. so like, even when it comes to yaoi shippers nancy has had stonathan, harringrove, AND steddie over four seasons with steddie already having massive popularity + the other shippers, wheras thankfully eleven only has to deal with byler shippers when it comes to the victimization. but not to diminish eleven any more because she has def gone through it in fandom, im going to get into nancy's stuff: you will notice all three ships she supposedly gets in the way of (ignoring jargyle because the shippers are chill in my experience) involve steve harrington, AKA the most popular character if i had to guess and the white boy of the month. see, they were dating at one point in s1 and s2. the breakup was messy. like he kinda was complicit in her slutshaming at one point and didnt let her grieve her dead best friend properly and she ambiguously (as in nobody can fucking decide when the break up was) cheated on him so yeah. messy. mutually. if not more on steve's side given he was a bit of an asshole in s1-2 but gets better. yadda yadda fast forward to harringrove in particular, AKA steve x the guy who attacked a black child and abused his younger sibling (and im not attacking anyone thats just. what happened). basically 90% of them try to convince people nancy is abusive for the two arguments that occurred and is a slut and privileged (never mind steve being probably the most well off member of the main cast + hes a white guy in the 80s) blah blah blah. also ironic they call her abusive OFTEN when billy (one half of harringrove) kinda like threatens his sister max and breaks her things and otherwise abuses her Often. but yeah. they hate her for breaking his heart. they hate her for getting in the wya of their ship possibly. they hate her in general. add that to the general fandom misogyny and suddenly a large number of people are writing essays about how much they hate her and how she's a piece of shit, actually. fast forward to s4 and steddie and a new problem arises: steddie shippers keep flooding her character and ship tags with primarily steddie. so now your options regarding her are mlm ships and mlm shippers shitting on her. also keep in mind there is now more content for half of that ship, a guy who shows up for an hour and dies in the same season, than nancy, a mc. and if you like nancy ships like jancy or ronance, too bad those tags are flooded as well. as in someone did analytics in august for ronance i think and at one point the majority of main pairings in the ronance ao3 tags itself was steddie. either way both ships usually end up as side ships or bait into a steddie centric fic or tumblr post. or nancy ends up third wheeling and getting them together. as a nice bonus (not really) recently steddie shippers have decided that they too hate nancy and have entire posts and common plots (i have seen tumblr ficlets/hc's and people discussing this as a common trope for steddie fics on ao3) about how nancy was a horrible person who damaged steve's self esteem and ability to be in a relationship or something from a break up, as if the relationship wasnt mutually harmful and compounded by nancy's whole dead best and possibly only friend thing. and whoops for ships like ronance that isnt allowed either because steve's friend isn't allowed to interact with his ex despite the fact that said friend literally said he was an ass in the s1-2 timeline. all of this making it impossible to find any positive content without it being interrupted for a character who, if i remember correctly, has almost as much screentime as eleven (and eleven at least has popular fan content and other ships that dont somehow loop around to byler/mike). and whats worse is that while canon doesnt have yaoi victimization it does have heteronormative bullshit in which she is forced into a love triangle with the same guys TWO TIMES. she literally cant win so let her win a poll maybe also sorry this is super fucking long <3

Whoooo Nancy

[jaegerisim]

together, lie, through

for the word game :)

Hiii I don't have my docs here on my phone but all 3 words are part of my wips

Together is part of my elmax post s5 fic!!

The high of having Max all to herself without Lucas or The Party gave El the confidence to ask Max a question.

"Do you ever think of how the word <<together>> could mean so much more than just friends?" El whispered to Max.

For lie is my byler exes fic:

"I'm in deep shit. How am I supposed to tell Sam that the guy we met at the banquet was Mike Wheeler, the guy I dumped 4 years ago?" hissed Will in between drags of his cigarette. "I can't believe you lied to me about this, Jonathan!"

''What choice did I have, Will? Tell you the truth and risk my brother not coming to my fucking wedding 'cause he's a coward who can't face his own goddamn ex?" snapped Jonathan loosening his tie.

For through is my Stonathan and Byler band au called "Did Someone Break Your Heart?"

"This is my boyfriend, Mike. He's a fan of your music and so I invited him over to tonight's gig. That's ok with you right, Will?" smiled El.

Will only nodded as he kept smoking nonchalantly his cigarette, as if he wasn't constantly sneaking glances at Mike.

Of course, Jonathan could see through his act, and he would have teased his younger brother about it if it weren't for the extremely hot guy standing next to Mike.

"This is Steve, by the way. He is an aspiring fashion designer that goes to Mike's university and wanted to tag along." El explained while she pointed to Hot GuyTM.

And that's it!! 🩷✨

✨️ Hello! 25 year old ST fan looking for other 18+ writers to play against my Jonathan Byers from Stranger Things in any setting. When it comes to ships, my top choice is Jancy, but I'm also down for Jargyle or Stonathan. Honestly? I'm flexible! Bring me the ships you'd be interested in writing with my Jonathan!

Aside from ships, I'd be down for something platonic with a Will or a Joyce and we can build from there.

I tend to favor (found) family, pregnancy, babies, slice of life, kid-fic style plots, a healthy balance of fluff and angst!

I typically write 3-6 paragraphs per reply, so something similar would be great! A friendship ooc isn't required but encouraged. I love gushing over our characters and plot together. Please only interact if somewhat active! At least one reply per day would be wonderful. Discord is my method of rp! Please only interact if interested in something longer term! I'll reach out asap! Thanks!

What fics are you currently working on/have ideas for? Would love to know what kind of stuff you’re planning so I can get hype!

I wondered if you have any future plans for more Tommy related fics? (Number one Tommy fan)

I have this current idea of Steve and Tommy being together for years but they have insanely vanilla sex and one day they just start to seek out a third to bring something more to the bedroom. They find Eddie and he introduces them to so much more, BDSM, role playing, dress up all of it. (If anyone who sees this would like to take this idea and write it please feel free)

number one tommy fan?? it's an honour to have u in my inbox <3

i'm mainly focusing on my big bang and iylo atm. i do have a couple oneshots that i pick up occasionally and work on - there's a steddie one that's mostly done except for the ending (stuck on it), a metalsandwich fic that i'm not letting myself work on until i finish my bb because i get sucked in, and?? that might be about it. i hit a wall on the stonathan fic so i'm leaving it for now. it's not in my fic graveyard, but it's off to the side. no stommy ideas in my head at the moment, and i leave all the stommie writing to @batmunson666 <3

i'd like to write another steve/eddie/chrissy fic at some point. i have a pwp idea for them that's been floating around in my head for a bit. we'll see.

i posted 4 times in october which is the most i've done in a while, so nov might be a bit slow and then i'll write a bunch in dec when i'm not working. putting that in writing now. something something accountability.
