Summary
Nancy Wheeler survived the apocalypse, got into her dream school, and moved to Boston to start her perfectly planned future. So why does she feel like she's wearing someone else's skin?
It starts small. With a new hairstyle. Then new clothes. And a trip or two to a local gay bar. But every comparison leads back to the same conclusion, the same variable she's been ignoring for months now:
It's always Robin.

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.

Summary
When Lou Buckley gets the call from his niece on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, he can’t say he isn’t surprised, but it’s a pleasant one.
“I was wondering - I wanted to ask if - well, my friends and I were wanting someplace to meet up once a month, just like for a weekend, and we were wondering if we would come stay with you? It’s kind of complicated, see, because-” Lou politely waits for Robin to finish her spiel, complete with loop-backs and tangents, fiddles with the twirls of the phone cord whilst he listens to her talk. He doesn’t need to hear it, though, because he said yes in his mind three minutes back.
OR
A year in Philly, as told by Robin's Uncle Lou.

Summary
There are things I don't know how to ask for, sometimes, Nancy had confessed to the darkness. Sometimes I just... can't. Ask for things. Choose things.
You can ask me for anything, Robin had tried to reassure her. I might not be able to give it to you, I mean. I don't know what it is, but... I wouldn't judge you.
She'd heard Nancy sigh and felt her roll over, facing her, whispering so close Robin could feel it. No. I am asking. That's what... I'm asking you to not make me ask. I'm asking you not to ask. To not make me choose, sometimes. Sometimes I just need you to choose. For me.

Summary
Nancy’s hair has been cut short. Like, short-short- shorter than Robin’s ever was, shorter than Dustin’s, hell, it might be about the same length as Steve’s. It glimmers with golden-brown undertones in the sun. It still falls in waves, cropped closer to Nancy’s head in a way that Robin would never have imagined her friend going for. And the way it curls at the nape of her neck- god, Robin is fucking screwed.
or
Nancy gets a haircut. Robin feels totally normal about it.
