    Summary

    Robin reaches for her. She slides a tentative hand towards her, palm up, knuckles skimming over Nancy’s thigh, the tips of her fingers twitching ever so slightly. 

    Nancy stares. And stares. 

    She wants to tell Robin, don’t offer your hand to me. If I hold it now, I might never let go. 

    She wants to tell herself, religion has taught you to be merciful. So be that. Let her go. Don’t take her hand when you might rip it clean off. 

    or: Robin is Nancy’s safe place.

    Summary

    “What you have to understand is — although we do race as a team and want the team to do well, ultimately in Formula One, your teammate is your biggest competition.” Robin Buckley shifted in her seat briefly, ignoring the studio lights as best as she could to look at her interviewer.

    “And do you feel that way about Nancy Wheeler now that she’s joining you at Red Bull?”

    “Not at the moment, no.” She pauses, not quite thinking about her next words.

    “She would have to get a whole lot quicker to compete with me.”

    Summary

    Robin had always been a runner. Running from expectations, from people, from herself. Running felt safer than staying still, safer than facing whatever mess was waiting for her when she stopped. But the thing is, no matter how fast you run, life always catches up with you. And when it does? There's nowhere left to go.

    Summary

    “Shut up.” And she pulls Robin back down to her lips.

    Nancy doesn’t know how long they stand there, making out in the kitchen like a couple of horny teenagers (which, she supposes, they technically are—she’s not twenty until next year and Robin’s only just turned nineteen). It’s long enough for their kisses to turn desperate, for Robin’s lips to move from her mouth to her neck, nipping and biting just light enough to avoid leaving a mark, for her hands to move upwards under Nancy’s shirt, carefully tracing the bottom of her bra. Long enough for Nancy to weave her fingers into Robin’s hair, pulling her closer, for her free hand to travel to the waistband of Robin’s jeans, scratching gently over the skin just above it.

    Long enough that Nancy’s senses are overwhelmed by Robin enough for them to miss the footsteps coming up the stairs.

    “Oh my god, my eyes!”

    Summary

    Robin Buckley sees dead people. To her, it’s just one more reason on the long list of reasons why she’s a freak. So far, the only bonus is her best friend, Steve, who died 10 years ago. So, it still kinda sucks.

    Until Will Byers’ body is found in the quarry and she realises she can’t find his ghost anywhere. Will Byers is not dead.

    Something is afoot in Hawkins.
