    Summary

    After the fall of Hawkins, Robin Buckley and Nancy Wheeler fall into a dangerous routine: late-night patrols, shared beds, lingering touches, and the kind of tension that stops being platonic long before either of them admits it.

    It would be easier if there weren’t kisses. Easier if there weren’t lies. Easier if Robin didn’t have Vickie waiting for her while Nancy keeps ending up in her bed, under her hands, and far too deep under her skin.

    But there’s Vickie. There’s guilt. There’s jealousy sharp enough to draw blood. And there’s the fact that Robin and Nancy seem utterly incapable of staying away from each other once the line between friendship and something far more physical starts to blur.

    or

    Robin and Nancy want each other, act on it badly, and make it everyone’s problem.

    Summary

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

    Summary

    It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
    It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…

    Summary

    Robin comes back to Hawkins and discovers three things:
    1. Nancy Wheeler owns a farm.
    2. Nancy Wheeler commands a terrifyingly loyal German shepherd like it's nothing.
    3. Nancy Wheeler is still in love with her - and not interested in getting hurt again.

    Robin is done running.

    Now she just has to convince Nancy of that.

    Summary

    Robin leans back in the cracked vinyl chair and slides her headphones over her ears, sealing herself inside the booth. The station smells like warm dust and burnt coffee — almost like home, if home hadn’t been steeped in stale beer and sour wine. If home hadn’t hummed with television static and the low thud of bottles set down too hard.

    “Good evening, Hawkins,” she says into the mic, voice smooth, practiced into something silkier than she feels. “You’re tuned to WSQK, and this is Rockin’ Robin keeping you company on this fine Monday.”

    She smiles automatically. It doesn’t travel past her mouth.

    The board in front of her glows a dependable green. Levels steady. No distortion. She still waits for it. For months after Starcourt, any electrical hum had meant something else — the grinding whine of that machine chewing at the fabric of reality beneath layers of concrete. Even now, the low buzz in the station walls makes her shoulders inch toward her ears before she forces them down. Her body has better memory than her mind. Her body still expects Russian voices bleeding through plaster.

    She flips a switch. A soft click. Queues the next track.

    Summary

    Inspired by my love for Ronance and the song "A Couple Minutes" by Olivia Dean.

    Two months after the Season 5 finale, where the party had promised to never go apart for too long, Robin was on a plane to Australia with no intention of ever coming back. She was ready to leave it all behind – Hawkins, Smith College, her Dad… even her friends. Even Nancy. She was done with it all, for good.

    But what happens two years later, when Robin returns to America to reunite with her friends? She finds that all, but one, have left Hawkins. By chance, she discovers that Steve, Dustin, Jonathan, Mike and Nancy are all living in New York City, and she decides to follow them there to reconnect.

    Two years have gone by and so much has changed - including, she realises, her feelings for Nancy. Is she prepared to confront those feelings, or run?

    Summary

    James and Lily are polar opposites, yet exactly the same.

    One a Marauder, the other a Prefect, both brilliant and marvellous in their own right and, according to Sirius, both complete idiots.

    A Sixth Year Lily Evans finds herself inexplicably drawn to a changing James Potter. James finds it impossible to draw himself away from her. They are as similar and different as a Stag and a Doe.
