Summary
“Do you wanna talk about it?” Max asks him. She curls up on the couch next to him and leans over to grab her mug before tucking her feet under her legs and resting her head on his shoulder. He’s too emotionally exhausted to tell her not to wreck a couch with her shoes, but it’s not his couch. They’re not his shoes.
Steve knows she’s not looking at him on purpose. “Nothing to say.”
“She looks like someone died,” Max says. “And you look like you died.”

Summary
“Still… there was a part of it that I kind of liked, you know? The adventure. The… family, the belonging. And that part, that I felt—it just grew larger when he said… he said that I’ve always been right there in that dream, for him. That I was the most important part of it. And I felt…” Nancy chuckles raggedly. “It was crazy, and he should’ve known that I never would have… I wasn't ready to hear it. It was unexpected, it wasn’t me, at least not all of it, and yet, somehow, despite all of that, I felt…
“God, I felt something. I know that now. I felt something for Steve.”
or:
Nancy doesn't run from her feelings this time. Observing from the outside, Jonathan—the person least likely to—ends up making sure of it.
Written for Stancy Week 2026 Day 4's word prompt "trust".

Summary
“What is the deal with you right now?” Steve asks after a long moment of looking at her like she’s an alien creature (and they know a thing or two about those).
She widens her eyes, shrugs sweetly, chews on her stirrer and sucks up the rest of her watered-down vodka.
“There’s no deal. You packed up your entire life and moved to Massachusetts without telling me- what’s your ‘deal’?”His mouth parts in shock and something so close to hurt that it makes Nancy’s stomach clench. With a contemplative tilt of his head he replies, “Last time I checked, we’re not friends, Nancy. That was something you decided, remember?”
