Summary
HAWKINS, INDIANA - OCTOBER 1998
When a new mystery threatens Hawkins, it's Nancy Wheeler's job to take charge of saving the world yet again. But twelve years have passed, and Nancy's not the same person she was the last time she'd had to be a hero. She's underemployed, divorced, a mom to an awesome eight-year-old--and she's recently discovered she's gay, which she hasn't told anyone except her ex-husband, Steve.
Things are complicated, to say the least. Which is why the last person in the world she wants to partner with on a potentially life-threatening investigation is Robin Buckley, the friend she's pushed away for the last decade. With her crooked smile, raspy voice, and adorable rambling, Robin reminds Nancy of everything--and everyone--she can't have. As they dig deeper into the disappearance of a local teenage girl, it'll take everything in Nancy's arsenal to escape Hawkins with her heart intact.

Summary
"Nancy Wheeler," one of the non-Vickies says, interest clear in her tone, "I wasn't sure we'd see you tonight. So nice of you to come with your... friend."
"Oh, sure," Nancy says, all saccharine sweet, "neither of us were sure we wanted to come, what with the whole thing being a little bit, well... lame, but Robin pulled this incredible suit out of her closet and I knew I just had to show her off."

Summary
Robin really needs to stop falling for straight girls.
It’s a curse.
She’s accepted that with Vickie, it’s just not happening. Which is….it’s fine. It’s fine!
It’s becoming fine.
She’s gotten used to it, the girls she likes being straight girls. Statistically, she knows that she’s not the only lesbian in Hawkins, because there’s just no way. There’s no fucking way that in a town with ten thousand people, that she’s the only gay person here.
Although that would be just her luck if she was.
(Robin and Steve have a platonic friend night after Vecna, and crushes on a certain Wheeler are revealed)

Summary
Robin Buckley’s life has never been particularly exciting, but she does find that lately, it’s full of surprises.
She’s surprised at how easy it is to excel in all of her senior-level classes. She’s surprised at how much fun she’s having with her best friend at their grating yet tolerable job. Hell, she’s surprised that Steve Harrington’s her best friend in the first place.
And she’s never liked surprises, but these are the good kind of surprises.
The good kind, that is, until she finds herself in a place she never imagined she’d be: head-over-heels for her best friend’s ex-girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler.
But the biggest surprise of all may be how far Robin is willing to go to protect all three of them from the havoc that her two-faced affection would wreak if anyone was able to see it.
(Or: in an Upside-Down free AU, Robin Buckley and Eddie Munson run the gamut on the human emotional spectrum during their senior year at Hawkins High in a little over a hundred thousand words)

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.
