I'm not gonna lie, I feel like Steve fits into El and Hopper's dynamic pretty well. He's already fond of Hop as a dude, he and El definitely enjoy the same TV shows, and they're all three pretty solitary (when Steve's not picking up chicks, anyway). A lot of their domestic life will probably happen in the background, but I still want to show some more of them and of the duos that don't show up much in the show. Steve's already starting to bond with Jonathan for instance, and he and Nancy and Jonathan will definitely stick together through thick and thin. They've got some relationship stuff to sort, but once they do, they'll be inseparable.
Oh boy if you like Will being a mess (with Mike) you're gonna have a field day with the later chapters. Having Vecna in your head is not a recipe for perfect sanity, that's for sure! Get ready >:)
I'm glad that line feels natural. It's a difficult one to toe, for sure, but I want them to work together while still keeping that general sense of unease.
