    Summary

    "Robin…?" she whispered, barely hearing herself over the sound of her own heartbeat.
    Relief flooded her body so fast it made her dizzy. It was like her nervous system recognized Robin before her brain could catch up, her body responding to something her mind was still processing.
    Her eyes burned instantly, vision blurring.
    She didn't even think.
    She moved.
    She pushed past Eddie, past Steve, past everyone, straight across the room like there was nothing else in the world that mattered. Like gravity had shifted and Robin was the only thing pulling her forward.
    "Nance-" Robin started, but Nancy was already there.
    She crashed into her.
    Her arms wrapped tight around Robin's shoulders, face pressed into her neck, breathing her in like she needed proof she was real. Robin was warm and solid and exactly where Nancy had imagined her in the quiet moments she'd sworn didn't mean anything.

    OR: Robin ghost Nancy after she leaves for Emerson because she had feeling for her. 4 years later they meet again.

    Summary

    'It had never taken anyone this long to write a phone number. Both because Robin was really trying to make sure her handwriting was legible, and because she was having trouble remembering what her phone number even was at 7:47 in the morning while she held Nancy Wheeler’s hand. Not for any weird reason, they had just never touched hands when their lives weren’t in danger. It was different, that was all.

    “I think that’s right.” She mumbled as she dropped Nancy’s hand and offered the pen back.

    “You think?” Nancy smiled at her, teasing, pulling a smile through the cloud of fatigue that had been keeping Robin’s face in an unconscious grimace all morning.

    “It’s so early…” She said by way of explanation. Nancy chuckled.'

    Summary

    Nancy stared at her, her expression shifted. Not angry. Not hurt. Focused. Eerily similar to her I'm gonna commit a crime face. “Robin.”

    “Nancy?” Robin tilted her head. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

    Nancy stepped closer. Close enough that Robin’s back brushed the edge of the desk behind her. Then her hands fell to Robin's hips, keeping her in place,

    “Robin Buckley,” Nancy deliberately tipped her head up so their gazes were locked, “I underestimated how catastrophically bad you're at social cues.”

    Robin huffed. “Rude, I told you I was.”

    “Look at me.”

    Robin did. She always did when Nancy asked like that.

    “We have been dating,” Nancy said slowly, enunciating every word, “for nearly six months.”

    Summary

    Nancy can't stop watching Robin: the way she talks, laughs, fidgets, loves. But, more and more, how sad she was too. Nancy’s not sure why she cares so damn much about finally understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but she’s accepted the goal all the same. And Nancy was nothing if not goal-oriented.

    Robin knows she shouldn’t think this way. That she should “count her blessings”, and “love herself”, and rah-rah-rah. I mean, yes, so much of her life is beautiful, and she knows that! But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel like she’s the one that people would call a monster. And after all this time… well, words begin to stick.

    AKA: Robin deals with being gay in the 80s, and Nancy learns that being a hero means more than just killing monsters.

    Featuring: curious eyes, a loss of hope, surprising allies, an Indianapolis gay club, summer heat waves (in more ways than one), a rewritten season five, and the origin story of a life-changing love.
