Summary
Nancy’s bathroom sink completely exploded, and maybe it’s her fault for choosing to live in the cheapest apartment in all of Boston.
Steve can’t help even if he wanted to, but he has a friend who most certainly will…or, robin is a wannabe plumber, nancy knows nothing about plumbing, obviously.

Summary
“What do you mean you’ve never caught anything? Like…anything anything?” Nancy shook her head. “After the things I’ve seen in the last year and the way you’ve handled them there’s no way I’m believing that Nancy Wheeler was an inside girl afraid of getting dirt under her nails growing up.”
“Not by choice! But it was always ‘don’t get mud on your shoes’, or ‘you can’t climb trees in a dress’, or ‘don’t touch anything, you’ll get salmonella’ or ‘stay out of the woods, it’s not ladylike to get dirt on your clothes’,” Nancy said in a deep voice mocking her father. “Catching tadpoles and frogs was ‘boys’ play’ so I just stuck to riding bikes and the playgrounds.”
Robin shook her head sadly. “You poor thing. Well, that settles it then—” She patted Nancy’s legs and moved to finally stand up. “—I’m going to teach you how it’s done, expertly, starting tonight with fireflies.”

Or, five times Nancy goes catching creepy crawlers with Robin and one time she catches something more.
Or, Or, five days of oblivious lesbians failing at flirting and dancing around each other like absolute ding dongs <3

Summary
Joel rarely gets calls from unfamiliar numbers, so his tone is gruff and cautious when he answers.
“Is this Joel Miller?” Asks the girl on the other end.
“Who’s this?” He demands.
“Oh, right. My name is Ellie Williams. I’m a criminal justice student at the university. I was calling to see-“
“Don’t call me again,” his voice is a growl, rage seeping into his veins as he puts together the purpose of this call.
“Mr. Miller, please just give me a minute. I run a true crime podcast about unsolved cases. We’ve already solved two-“
“Don’t call me again, do you hear?”
“Listen, there’s some evidence in your daughter's case that was overl-“
Joel hangs up the phone. For good measure, he blocks the number like Tommy showed him how to do.
(Joel's daughter was murdered 20 years ago, and it's still unsolved. Ellie runs a true crime podcast. - AKA finding eachother in every universe- true crime AU)
