Summary
Everything here just…felt right. Like she could spend the rest of her days just listening to Robin talk about things that didn’t even matter, even if it meant never leaving her spot on her childhood bed.
---
A little ficlet of what I imagine one of Robin + Nancy's little sleepover dates are like, paired with a bit of extra pining.

Summary
She hated her ginger hair and the bracelets she wore (always had them on when she’d hand Nancy whatever movie she was renting), and the way her face scrunched up when she laughed, and the just-barely-there freckles that dusted her cheeks and nose, and the definitely old scar she had on her chin. She really hated how Robin looked at her like she was a puzzle, and the way Steve and her could communicate with just their eyes (always in front of her). Especially the way they’d look at each other when she mentioned Jonathan, as if she said something wrong. She hated her enough to notice all of those little things.
There couldn't be another reason. Nancy Marie Wheeler had noticed this before with Barb and crushed it, she was not a–

Summary
On paper, it’s a terrible idea. Out loud, it’s an embarrassment.
"I, Margot Verger, am taking my destiny back by finding a man and settling down with what is a 50-50 chance of success, fertility and fathers aside."
She tries it out in the bathroom mirror. She plans how long it takes to get to Wolf Trap, Virginia from where she is - 46 minutes in good traffic. Enough time to say it approximately 276 more times. They say it’s a habit after 30, so maybe between now and Will Graham’s house, it’ll sound better.
---
Margot tells Will about her pregnancy out of fear, and Will desperately wants to be a good father. Both should be in therapy, and with other people, but for now they can have Florida instead.

Summary
“Hi,” Robin says, voice cracking. “Will that be all?”
And it turns out that yes, it will be. Nancy thanks her, they say goodbye, and she leaves as uneventfully as she came. It's no tragedy, and it's no epic romance. Nancy Wheeler is just one of the many fascinating girls that walk into Family Video all of the time. Robin will live to see another day. Probably. If she can stop thinking about that thirty-second interaction for long enough to remember to look both ways before she crosses the street.
“So," Steve asks. "Are we going shopping for your wedding suit?"
Robin flips him a bird, and allows her head to fall into her hands.
Robin's life is nothing like the movies. That is, at least, until Nancy Wheeler comes along.

Summary
Nancy’s got her boxed up against the counter in Steve’s kitchen, the pizza that Robin had been shoving into her mouth now sitting smooshed against Robin’s back. It’ll probably stain, but Robin can’t think about that right now or there will be too many thoughts and she’ll explode. Her head will literally pop off. Boom. Bang. Gone. Dead not from the Mindflayer or Vecna but from girl-too-pretty disease. Or curse. This feels distinctly more like a curse. Girl-too-pretty curse. God, she’s a mess.
Or, the inherent homoeroticism of traumatized girl best friends.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” She asks, tone accusing.
Robin shrugs, “It’s a public space.”
“You don’t look like you frequent a Library often.”
Robin squints, “Are you trying to hurt my feelings?”
or, Steve dares Robin into doing something because he's an idiot, and Robin takes up the dare because she's a bigger idiot.
(And Nancy Wheeler is really pretty when she's mad.)

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.
