    Summary

    “Hey…” Robin whispered to the boy on her right. “Why did Mr Hauser read it out for her?”

    The boy turned his head. “She’s never spoken.”

    “Like, ever? But what about her friends?”

    The boy looked over at Nancy. “I’ve never seen her with any.”

    Three glass-shattering bombshells all at once. Nancy hadn’t spoken since the second grade, possibly earlier. Nancy didn’t have any friends. And the third bombshell, which happened in Robin’s head, being Robin might be the only person in this entire school to hear Nancy speak.

    aka

    When Robin Buckley moves from Chicago to Hawkins, she expects her life to become ten times more boring. But when it turns out her favourite YouTuber goes to her school, and she's never spoken outside her home or her videos, Robin realises there may be more to Hawkins than meets the eye.

    Summary

    Robin has a moment of confusion when she thinks she might have forgotten that it’s Halloween before she realises that the person standing before her —with eyes that look like all the graves have opened — is, in fact, Nancy Wheeler.

    “Good lord Nancy,” she says without thinking, “you look terrible!”

    “Hello Robin,” says Nancy, as though Robin is the last person in the whole world she wants to see.

    With her freshly minted double-first in modern languages from Oxford, Robin Buckley has her own plans for how she’s going to serve her country in wartime and none of them involve rotting in the rural backwater that is Hawkins-on-Lea.

    These plans are scuppered when her very best friend Steve Harrington does something stupid and enlists, leaving her in charge of his farm. It’s all going about as well as can be expected when Nancy Wheeler turns up on the doorstep in the middle of the night, fresh from the fight: a little battered, a little broken and needing some help to put herself back together.

    Summary

    The memory still burned fresh in Robin's mind; Nancy and Eddie, staring into the distance with empty eyes.

    They'd given their lives to save the others, but it hadn't been enough. Max was in a coma, and Hawkins had been ripped in four by the glowing rifts that cut through the earth. They'd had to leave them behind, so certain that their bodies had been rotting in the Upside Down for days.

    “It’s another nightmare.” Robin whispered to herself as she stared at the figures looming before her.

    Nancy and Eddie stared back, their clothes caked in blood and their eyes glowing red.

    – • ☾ • –

    Or: Hawkins has been completely cut off from the outside world. A few days after losing the battle against Vecna, Eddie and Nancy come back from the dead.

    Summary

    Death is cruel, and living is much, much crueler. But having to live with yourself forever? That’s the cruelest fate of all.

    Nancy Wheeler mourns for who she was and despises who she has become. Or rather what she has become, and the curse of destruction that came with it. Her very existence has morphed into something she sees as a blight against humanity, and she has vowed to make sure that no one should suffer the same fate as her. That no one should ever have to even come across monsters like her.

    In the short year after becoming one herself, hunting vampires has become second nature to Nancy. She has never once had any pause in her crusade, driven purely by unbridled rage and blind hatred of all who cursed her to this life and shared her curse.

    So then why, why was Robin Buckley different?

    Summary

    Robin was outside, saying she needed air and a few moments alone. She was smoking a cigarette, the pull of nicotine soothing her for the moment. It was drizzling, but Robin didn't mind. She had always been cold by nature, but lately she seemed to bask in it. The coldness tearing through her veins, sucking any warmth that dares come into contact with her. She took another long drag of her cigarette, giving it a moment before exhaling. Robin hadn't always been a smoker, hell had always somewhat been against it. After the events of Starcourt, she delved into alcohol, weed, and cigarettes. She hated herself for it, but couldn't find the heart to stop.

    Robin gets Vecna'd, with a little supernatural twist.
