    Summary

    “I told my mom I might marry a woman, and she sort of brushed it off and asked if I’d ever been in a serious relationship with a woman, so I… told her I am.”

    “What?!” Robin’s jaw dropped, “Dude!”

    “I know!” Nancy groaned, “It was stupid, I was just so mad -”

    “Didn’t she have followup questions?!” Robin laughed, “Did the lie just fall apart immediately, is that why you didn’t tell me? You were embarrassed?”

    “I told her it was you.”

    Robin’s stomach dropped.

    “What?” She asked.

    “She invited you to our house for Christmas.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t really about the dance. Robin couldn’t care less about some lame attempt to generate school spirit. But the holidays were readily approaching and she hadn’t even started her applications. Her academic future felt like a land mine she was continuously side-stepping. Not to mention she had hardly spent any time with her band mates since July. Her social circle was becoming a squished oval and to top it all off she was going to be late for work because she forgot to change the stupid batteries in her stupid alarm.

    Robin Buckley thinks she might be cursed. Which is a bold claim, considering she knows at least two people who actually have been.

    Summary

    Hawkins, Indiana has given Robin Buckley many things:

    A healthy fear of saws, a rudimentary grasp of Russian, a new respect for D&D.
    Also, Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler.

    Sometimes, she thinks the saws would be easier.

    When Robin notices Nancy struggling, she steps closer.
    When Nancy notices Robin hurting, she does the same.
    What starts as mutual concern becomes something warmer, heavier, and impossible to ignore. Still, they keep their feelings hidden, convinced the other deserves help, not complications.

    It begins with words Robin overhears without being seen. Invisibility kept her alive once. Now Steve’s comfort makes her real, Nancy’s attention makes her visible, and being seen feels less like connection and more like time running out.

    Summary

    'It had never taken anyone this long to write a phone number. Both because Robin was really trying to make sure her handwriting was legible, and because she was having trouble remembering what her phone number even was at 7:47 in the morning while she held Nancy Wheeler’s hand. Not for any weird reason, they had just never touched hands when their lives weren’t in danger. It was different, that was all.

    “I think that’s right.” She mumbled as she dropped Nancy’s hand and offered the pen back.

    “You think?” Nancy smiled at her, teasing, pulling a smile through the cloud of fatigue that had been keeping Robin’s face in an unconscious grimace all morning.

    “It’s so early…” She said by way of explanation. Nancy chuckled.'

    Summary

    Ronance AU - Modern time

    Nancy Wheeler is an actress dealing with a messy breakup and relentless paparazzi.

    Robin Buckley on the other hand is more of an 'underground' indie musician, far away from fame and celebrity culture.

    When their worlds collide, the attention Nancy can't escape drags Robin into drama she never wanted.

    Summary

    Nancy can't seem to stop watching Robin — the way she talks, the way she moves, the way she loves the people around her. And, more and more, how sad she is too. Nancy can't figure out why she cares so damn much about understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but Nancy has never been one to abandon a case when it's difficult.

    Robin knows she's not supposed to think this way. That you're supposed to love yourself and rah-rah-rah, and she does. So much of her life is beautiful, she knows that. But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel likes she’s the one they’d call a monster. And honestly… something feels like it's about to break.

    AKA: Robin deals with being gay in the 80s, and Nancy proves that being a hero means more than killing monsters.

    Summary

    *Steve doesn’t work at the WSQK, but he and Robin are still good friends. This is during the 18 month time-skip between season 4 and 5.*

    The crawls were draining everyone. Nancy having to do most of the planning-then constantly being doubted, even though her plans never failed. Her mind was always occupied.

    The only thing that grounded her was working with Robin, at the WSQK (squawk). They’d grown closer because of their time together, and Nancy soon found herself wanting to know more. To be with Robin more.

    Only as friends, of course. (wink wink nudge nudge)

    Summary

    Nancy blinks. Like she’s just realised that the door is actually open. “Hi.”

    Robin’s mind sprints to catch up, tumbling and stuttering, “You’re here-”

    “I think,” Nancy cuts her off, knowing she has to say something, anything really, “I think I’m a touch early.”

    Robin looks past her, at the car that’s ditched in the driveway, parked haphazardly, like Nancy had decided she couldn’t bear to be in there a second longer.

    Summary

    Nancy Wheeler survived the apocalypse, got into her dream school, and moved to Boston to start her perfectly planned future. So why does she feel like she's wearing someone else's skin?

    It starts small. With a new hairstyle. Then new clothes. And a trip or two to a local gay bar. But every comparison leads back to the same conclusion, the same variable she's been ignoring for months now:

    It's always Robin.

    Summary

    Nancy exhaled heavily, before lifting her gaze, making their eyes meet again. A deeper connection palpable this time.

    "You know what?", she smiled, taking Robin's hand in hers.
    "Screw it. No matter how we're doing, or what life has in store for us at any moment, we're going to stick together."

    They had survived the deadly. How difficult could living an ordinary life even be in comparison?

    Summary

    Robin gave an impressed look, about to protest further, but Nancy continued. “I don’t know, wear something a little fun, something attractive! Maybe you’ll find your dream boy up there, hm?” She whispered in a teasing tone, and Robin tensed awkwardly, pulling away from Nancy with a sigh.

    Robin couldn’t tell her, because gods, how could she? Could she bear to see Nancy’s face contort in discomfort or disgust, could she bear the idea of Nancy cowering in the bathroom to change because she didn’t want someone like Robin looking at her in that way?

    Summary

    The world outside Hawkins might be slowly returning to normal, but some battles leave scars you can’t shake. Nancy Wheeler is careful and composed. She’s the kind of person who keeps her life meticulously in order. Robin Buckley is the opposite: sarcastic, unbothered, and impossible to predict. Their paths cross more than once, thanks to the tiny town’s overlapping circles, and what starts as awkward encounters slowly becomes something more.

    When Robin admits she likes a girl — Vickie — but has never kissed one, Nancy offers to show her the way. What starts as private, awkward “lessons” gradually unfolds into something more: a slow-burn with unexpected connection between two people who couldn’t be more different.
