“Jonathan X Steve”- Fans Take Their Wild Shots for the Most Forbidden Romance in 'Stranger Things' Twisted Love Triangle

Published 08/17/2024, 1:24 AM EDT

Besides the thrill and suspense in Netflix's Stranger Things, the franchise also harbors a great deal of dramatic love stories and heartfelt storylines. While Hopperjoyce is the one fans look up to, the Steve x Nancy x Jonathan arc is something fans have resonated with. And as the fandom approaches the endgame, viewers are hard-wired to know who gets to keep the love of their life and who resigns to fate. Both the duos have their separate fan bases. Meanwhile, a fresh wave of enthusiasts has just come up with a mind-blowing storyline in store.  

While fans of Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington had pictured a whole future for them together, people who loved Nancy with the calm, not-so-charming yet mature, Jonathan knew he was the right choice. As season 4 saw a low-key rekindling of the spark that Steve and Nancy long doused in the initial season, fans on Reddit are now excited to know how the story wears on further.

Steve x Jonathan…,” wrote a user while another followed suit commenting, “Then Nancy x Robin…”. Another user could not agree more and concurred saying “Truer words have never been spoken”. Citing the same, another user even proposed a ship name commenting, “Team stevathon,” while asking others their opinion of the name Jonatheve. A new comment replied to the same, proposing an official name for the duo. 

While the exchange of pleasantries continued, serious fans mostly went with the Nancy x Jonathan arc. The Stranger Things Season 5 filming has not offered any hint towards this triangle.
