    Summary

    "It’s been a long time since Nancy Wheeler had…a pal.

    Not to be dismissive of smartass exes or they-grow-up-so-fast little buddies or whatever Jonathan has turned into after their drift, but they’re not…a pal, Nancy reasons. What does world saving and nearly dying for each other over and over mean you are to one another? Family, probably. Blood siblings, sure, bonded palm to palm beyond any choice you might have after the fact.

    Robin, though. Robin, it turns out, is someone Nancy gets to keep choosing.

    Robin, Nancy thinks with a weird sense of triumph blooming in her chest, Robin is Nancy’s pal."

    OR

    Nancy keeps Robin company at Family Video some warm night in June, and tries not to think about that electric feeling crackling inside her chest.

    Summary

    Something about that stops him short. “Wait, his family business was a diner?”

    “Yeah,” Robin says. “My mom hated it. I think she still blames the diner for ruining all our lives.”

    Steve furrows his brow, thinking. Something is starting to sound eerily familiar, but he can’t quite put his finger on it.

    “Here?” he asks, straining his mind in a bid to figure out why this information doesn’t feel new.

    “You might’ve known it, it was pretty popular,” she says, and that’s when his blood runs cold.

    Steve learns that Robin's dad is dead. Then he finds out just who her father was. Then, worst of all, he finds out she doesn't know the truth of his death.

    Or: Robin is Benny Hammond's daughter.

    Summary

    The reminder that he can’t keep up, that he can’t be one of the cool kids, stings.

    He’s no Steve Harrington. He’s just Lucas. He’s a nerd, a loser, a nobody.

    He can’t stand it, suddenly.

    “Don’t tell,” he begs, looking up at her in time to see her eyebrows knit together in concern. “Don’t— Don’t tell anyone I couldn’t be cool.”

    Lucas finds himself struggling at the post-championship game party.

    Summary

    If Robin has learned anything from the spring break of her senior year, it’s that life in Hawkins is always going to be throwing more and more terrible shit at you. 
    As soon as you think ‘Okay, this has got to be as bad as it gets,’ Hawkins finds another significantly worse thing to hand you on a silver platter.
    If you hold off on enjoying the good parts because you’re worried about the next bad thing happening, you’re gonna have a shit life in Hawkins, Indiana. 
    So Robin has decided she’s going to ask Vickie out.

    -

    or: robin tries to ask out her crush and... "mission failed successfully"?

    Summary

    “We’ve been asked to do a different task today,” Vickie says.

    “Oh shit,” Robin says. “No more PB&Js?”

    Vickie laughs.

    “No more peanut butter monstrosities for us at least for now, yeah. You think it’s because we’re too good at PB&Js or because we’re too bad at it?”
