In a dream where Vecna gives his victims what they want, Jonathan lives with the knowledge that his brother was found. That Will still had nightmares about what happened but he's alright. He's happy. Joyce is happy.
Jonathan tries as hard as he can to break through the mold, tries to see the cracks in the walls - but there's nothing there. Just the sound of the Party playing another session, his brother shyly sharing glances with Mike and Mike doing it back.
Watching his brother attend dances with Mike, Mike who acts like he did before everything went Wrong(tm). Jonathan wakes up after nightmares routinely but - it's hard not to want this life.
A life where some things went wrong but not everything.
And if there's a part of him that realizes what this is, that this is a concept of his own imagining, it's riddled with guilt. Guilt for wanting a "simpler" life, for feeling like wanting it and changing what happened to Will is acting like it was Will's fault to begin with. But it's a life without tragedy and mayhem, where he doesn't have to keep a bat beside his bed.
Everything is fine. It's fine and it's difficult to get used to. This can be his one regret that he'll suffer with, until he can get out.
That's his plan, really, right until he hears Running Up That Hill play on the radio and winces - and sees Mike wince too. Mike, who acts like everything he's not, has pretended not to be in the Real World. Who watched Will with misty eyes and lingering hands, not wanting to let him go. All instances Jonathan chalked up to his dream's manifestation. But it's real, and Mike is real, and he's here. He's here with Jonathan, wanting the same thing he does. Wanting to love Will like Will loves him.
(And Vecna laughs, goading, later, sneering with a mouth of vines and charred lips. "And what would dear Will think, to know that the both of you wanted him to be different?")

Jonathan is way more attractive than Steve. He's also a better character.

year is 2021. hawkins has long since been abandoned. cured, but not entirely fixed. the wheelers-byers live in new jersey and have a fifteen year old adopted daughter who has a fierce love for soccer.
the girl wins the state tournaments. her team, filled with children of the teens who once lived in hawkins and witnessed its terrors, are sent to nationals. one of the teammates' parents are even rich enough to hire a private jet for them to go straight to nationals in seattle.
and mike and will are proud of their daughter. proud of their lives. proud of everything they've built and the past they've left behind.
that is, until, their daughter doesn't arrive at nationals. in fact, the entire team doesn't. the plane took off but never landed, going off course somewhere around indiana. somewhere around hawkins.
somewhere around the abandoned town, overgrown with forests and wilderness, that was cured but never truly fixed, and still has that magentic, supernatural pull that is affecting the og party's children years later.

i know i already talked about byler kiss but im going to talk about it more. sorry if this makes zero sense
so, they kiss. but NOT YET. because it has to be AWKWARD, mike slowly moves in and theyre both terrified. like, more scared than the fucking demogorgons. and then they just kiss. but its not like a real kiss yet, bc its still really awkward. and then after maybe 4 seconds they just go feral.
