Summary
Finally, she’s able to get the number in right. The ring is sharp against her ear. Pick the fuck up, she thinks, and someone must be listening, because the ringing stops.
“All right, Harrington, what’s on this week’s nightmare menu? And don’t tell me the one about drowning in your pool again, man, we all know that’s rich kid—”
“It’s Nancy.”
A long pause, then a laugh. “Wheeler? To what do I owe this late-night honor?”
“I, um.” Nancy’s tongue feels stuck to the inside of her mouth, like bare skin on upholstery. “I was wondering if you’ve got a couch I can crash on?”
Nancy finds herself in Olympia, Washington on the eve of the Riot Grrrl movement.

Summary
“Yeah, well, you’re lucky I don’t always listen to you.” Robin said, though the validity of that statement was dubious given their current situation. Her track record of not going along with one of Nancy's crazy plans wasn’t exactly stellar.

Summary
“The white board.” Nancy raised an eyebrow, and there was a mischievous look in her eyes. She grinned like a fox in a henhouse. “And those tallies you guys mark down. What’s your record?”
Robin’s heart caught in her throat. Fight or flight response kicked in as she took a breath to steel her nerves - but she couldn’t concede to Nancy Wheeler. She was cut from better cloth than that. “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?”
Nancy gave her a devilish stare and took a deliberate, slow lick of her strawberry ice cream cone, not breaking eye contact with Robin the entire time, then said “At least one.”

Prompt fill: S3!Ronance; namely, Nancy sees Robin in her Scoops Ahoy uniform and Robin immediately decides to pull a Steve and sneak her in the back for some alone time.

Summary
"Gross, dude," Robin muttered, but she was distracted by Nancy, who was evidently distracted by a woman who had just walked into the bar. Older, mid forties maybe. Short dark hair. Conservative kind of business-y outfit. Robin didn't recognize her. She was more concerned at the moment with the furrow in Nancy's brow, and the urge to press her thumb just there to smooth it out. Leave a thumbprint behind as evidence. Robin Buckley was here.
"Hey. Steve," Nancy said, eyes not leaving the woman at the bar. "How about you try... spreading the Gospel, I guess... to her?" She gestured at the woman. "She's one of Owens' people. Agent... Stinson I think. She's obviously off-duty, she might be open to it?"
Or
A dame walks into a bar. Our heroes are gay about it.

Summary
description rewrite:
It was the something that felt similar to how Nancy felt in the form of sweaty palms and bright eyed, teenaged excitement when she started dating Steve those many years ago. It was the something that felt like the adoration she once felt for Jonathan.
And now she felt it with Robin, and it was different. It was softer - it felt right. Robin had somehow created the perfect man for Nancy, and he existed on a piece of paper. She played the part so well that Nancy almost believed she could be him.
aka
Nancy, Robin, and Steve finally agree to play D&D with Eddie. Nancy and Robin’s characters have an in-game romance, and it bleeds into the real world.
