~~ PROMPTS FOR WRITERS AND ARTISTS / PROMPTS FOR GIFMAKERS & VIDEO EDITORS ~~
Day 1 (Friday, July 21st): Scoops Ahoy! / Favourite Outfits
Scoops Ahoy!: Inspired by Steve's job in Season 3, this prompt refers to all Food Services AUs you can think of! You can stay close to canon with an Ice Cream Shop or you can get creative with a Coffee Shop, or a Cake Shop AU, or anything you might like, it's up to you!
Favourite Outfits: Show us your favourite outfits worn by Jonathan and Steve throughout the series! It doesn't have to be limited to scenes they've had together (because there isn't many, as we all know). You are free to play with different clips from different seasons! Maybe there's an outfit you think should make a return next season?
Day 2 (Saturday, July 22nd): Roommates AU / AUs
Roommates AU: And they were roommates... In Day 2 we invite you to explore Stonathan's dynamic as they share a living space and all the chaos that situation can bring!
AUs: This can be any sort of AU that you can come up with. Get creative with the video clips or photos you use! Images do not have to be limited to the show. Anything from Fantasy AUs, to Bookstore AUs, to Coffee shop AUs, to Dystopian AUs. The world is your oyster!
Day 3 (Sunday, July 23rd): Fake Dating AU / Parallels
Fake Dating AU: When the truth hides in a lie! Pretending to be together to fool the others was part of the plan, but the more time they spend together, the more... they want it to be real?
Parallels: We all know the Duffers and their love for patterns and parallels! However, parallels don’t need to stop with ST. This prompt is a challenge to find any parallels in the show or other media that connects to Steve and Jonathan!
Day 4 (Monday, July 24th): Fantasy AU / Colours
Fantasy AU: We've seen a lot in ST. We've seen Shadow Monsters, and Evil Vines, and little girls with superpowers, and Vecna. But we haven't seen it all. What about kingdoms, and dragons, and knights, and princes, and wizards, and mermaids, and shapeshifters? The options are endless! In a world where magic exists and royals rule the lands, what are Jonathan and Steve up to?
Colours: Colours are a big part of cinematography and character design, but here we wanna see your take! What colours represent Steve and Jonathan and their bumpy dynamic the best to you?
Day 5 (Tuesday, July 25th): Canon-verse / Steve & Jonathan + another character
Canon-verse: We all can agree we haven't gotten enough from Steve and Jonathan together in the show. Well, this is your chance to change that! With this prompt you can play around with the rules of canon. Maybe Stonathan got stranded in the Upside Down? Maybe there's some deleted scenes between seasons you want to explore? Or what happens after canon? There's many options!
Steve & Jonathan + another character: Friendships and relationships are one of the most important aspects of the show. Here you have the opportunity to explore some of the other dynamics that Steve and Jonathan have together with other characters, or dive into a dynamic/group that includes Stonathan and that you might like to see in S5!
Day 6 (Wednesday, July 26th): Music AU / Song Lyrics
Music AU: Music is a huge part of ST, so we couldn't not have a prompt that related to it. Bands, mixtapes, old record stores, etc. Anything you can think of that relates to music counts! Let Jonathan's music snobbery and Steve's mainstream taste shine this day!
Song Lyrics: Have some song lyrics that are just perfect for Steve and Jonathan? This is your time to shine!
Day 7 (Thursday, July 27th): Forced Proximity / Favourite Scene
Forced Proximity: Isn't it just inconvenient when for reasons out of your control you have to share a same space with someone you might not like so much, or someone who might not like you so much, or someone you might like too much, or just someone you haven't talked to in a long time, and it's just Awkward? Yup, it's the worst. But it's so much fun when it happens to the characters we love! Go wild with this one!
Favourite scene: Show us your favourite scene with Steve and Jonathan. We know there aren't many to choose from, but we'd love to see how creative you get with it! Show us your different styles and takes!
** No prompts are exclusive to any media! We made separate prompts for Gif Makers and Video Editors and Moodboard Creators so they could have a better prompt to work with given their type of media. That being said, to all Gif Makers, Video Editors and Moodboard Creators, feel free to choose any prompt of the day you would like to work with! **
written for day 5 (it's still day 5 if i haven't gone to bed yet!) of @stonathanweek, for the prompt: steve & jon + another character
pairing: steve/jonathan, jonathan/argyle
rating: explicit
status: complete
word count: 5.6k
Jonathan feels too hot in his skin, a weird fluttery feeling because there's no fucking way Argyle didn't hear what Steve said, no way it can be passed off as anything other than it is. Excitement and embarrassment mix in his stomach, and he wants to chase it just as much as he wants to hide. He can't even speak, the words catching in his throat and leaving him with his mouth just hanging open.
warnings: under-negotiated kink, details under the cut
argyle calls jonathan while he & steve are doing stuff, this was planned beforehand by steve & argyle but jonathan is left under the impression that argyle is unaware. it doesn't take him long to figure it out. also it's implied that steve is checking for consent before he makes jonathan answer the phone, but not explicitly asked. all parties are into what happens, there's just noooo proper negotiation before.
