Welcome to Stoncy Week 2026! This event runs from July 19th – 25th and is dedicated to Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan from Stranger Things. Acceptable fanworks include fanfiction, gifs, graphics, video edits, fan art, podfics, playlists, and more. Tag #stoncyweek2026 and/or @stoncyweek2026 when posting your creations. The AO3 collection will open on July 19th and can be found here.

You can find the text version of the prompts (and bonus prompts!!!) under the cut. If you have any other questions, send an ask or check out the FAQ.

Thank you and happy creating!!! So excited to see what everyone comes up with!

There are three prompts per day, with a Free Choice day at the end of the week. The prompts were designed so that each day would have at least one prompt aimed toward gif and/or edit makers, but of course, you may create your work based on whichever prompt inspires you.

The prompts are:

Day One (July 19): Summer | Forced proximity | Favorite moment(s)

Day Two (July 20): Second chances | Philly | Nail bat

Day Three (July 21): Long distance | Secret relationship | Jealousy

Day Four (July 22): Alternate Universe | Time loop | Parallels

Day Five (July 23): Road trip | Radio station | Song lyrics 

Day Six (July 24): Reunions | Fix-it | Monster hunting

Day Seven (July 25): Free Choice!

BONUS PROMPTS:

Stonathan → Stoncy: Most Stoncy dynamics start with Steve and Nancy as an already established couple, Jonathan and Nancy as an already established couple, or all three of them single. This prompt goes a different direction and poses Steve and Jonathan as the already established couple, instead. Could be set in an alternate universe, in canon, post-canon, or whatever direction you want to take it!

“Three person poly relationship made up of two people who are already dating trying to coax someone with horrific self worth issues into a loving relationship. Stray cat style.”: Inspired by this Tumblr post. Is Steve, Nancy, or Jonathan the stray cat? You get to decide! 

The wind from Challengers that makes you cheat: Featured in Chappell Roan’s music video for The Subway and made famous by the scene in Challengers (2024) in which Tashi kisses Patrick in an empty parking lot while powerful gusts of wind surround them, this prompt poses the question, “What if ‘the wind that makes you cheat’ was a trope in the same vein as the sex pollen trope?” Who’s doing the cheating, who’s being cheated on, and how does it get resolved? The world is your oyster!
