Summary
Their trek to Hawkins Lab starts alright. But after about ten minutes of a—frankly suspicious—lack of Demogorgon sightings, Steve starts not-so-subtly suggesting they pick up the pace, which Jonathan, evidently, takes as a personal attack, so the next thing Nancy knows, the two of them are trying so hard to outpace each other that they end up yards ahead of her and Dustin.
"How do you even put up with them?" Dustin asks, watching Steve and Jonathan from afar with a wrinkled nose.
"Practice," Nancy mutters.
Or: two conversations between Nancy and Dustin and Jonathan and Steve in the Upside Down.

Summary
Nancy untwists her hands and smooths them down the front of her skirt. "Look. What if we just…say it at the same time?"
"Oh." Jonathan clears his throat. "Yeah. Okay. Uh, on three?"
He doesn't realize how childish the idea sounds until after he's said it, but if anything, Nancy looks relieved. "Sure. On three."
"Okay," Jonathan nods. "One…two..."
“Three," Nancy finishes.
And then he blurts, “I don’t think I like having sex,” at the same time as Nancy says, “I think I like Steve.”

Summary
Erica raises her eyebrows behind her sunglasses. “You're hanging out with Nancy and Jonathan now? Didn’t Nancy dump you and stomp all over your heart last year?”
“Whoa, that is not what happened.”
Erica turns to Robin, as if seeking confirmation, and Robin says, “Well…”
“Robin!”
“What I can’t understand,” Dustin starts. “Is why? You don’t even like Jonathan.”
“I like Jonathan just fine!” Steve shouts, loudly enough that the couple in the car next to them shoots them a look that makes the back of Steve’s neck heat.

Summary
He thinks about Bucky showing up in Delacroix with a shitty Publix cake and a smile on his face, about looking into Joaquin’s operating room with Bucky at his side. He thinks about Bucky crashing on Sarah’s couch or taking Sam’s spare bedroom in DC. He thinks about every time Bucky sat next to him on the couch and left only a sliver of space between their knees, about every time Sam noticed Bucky watching him from across the room, and hadn’t looked away even after being caught.
Sam had thought a lot of things. He thought Bucky knew how important starting the Avengers was to Sam. He thought he had Bucky’s partnership, his trust—in quieter, private moments, moments he’d never tell anyone else about, he thought he even had Bucky’s devotion.
Evidently, he was wrong.
Or: the sambucky divorce fic.

Summary
The last time Robin saw Vickie was four years ago, and it’d been the last time she thought she’d ever see her again. So it doesn’t make sense that she’s seeing her here, now, four years later and over two hundred miles away. Her bangs are shorter and her hair is longer, but her freckles are still the same — dotted across her face and nose like pepper sprinkled across paper.
Familiarly, Robin’s stomach twists.
Or: Robin moves to Chicago, gets the girl, figures out how to be brave, and attempts to help Steve with his disastrous love life.
