    Summary

    Robin has known Nancy all her life - from toddler ballet lessons to AP English classes. Nancy hardly remembers Robin from her old life, but in times of tragedy the girls have been forced together. And, despite all odds, the two have formed a friendship. Now, working at Hawkins’ local radio station - WSQK The Squawk - the girls are closer than ever… but closeness often brings tension, and it doesn’t help that the radio seems to malfunction every time the two girls get into a spat, creating a neverending loop of unsolved conflict and emotion.

    Robin and Nancy investigate a local mystery together.

    Summary

    Nancy can't seem to stop watching Robin — the way she talks, the way she moves, the way she loves the people around her. And, more and more, how sad she is too. Nancy can't figure out why she cares so damn much about understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but Nancy has never been one to abandon a case when it's difficult.

    Robin knows she's not supposed to think this way. That you're supposed to love yourself and rah-rah-rah, and she does. So much of her life is beautiful, she knows that. But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel likes she’s the one they’d call a monster. And honestly… something feels like it's about to break.

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

    (Featuring watchful eyes, losing hope, a touching moment, surprise support, an Indianapolis gay club, a summer heat wave in more ways than one, a flash through of season five, and the culmination of a life-changing love)

    Summary

    It begins with words Robin overhears without being seen. Invisibility kept her alive once. Now Steve’s comfort makes her real, Nancy’s attention makes her visible, and being seen feels less like connection and more like time running out.

    Summary

    "It was on one of these patrols, the four of them trudging along through the woods around the Creel house, that they encountered the first demogorgon any of them had seen since the gates had opened. All of them stopped in their tracks. Nancy put her hand on her gun. The demogorgon whipped its head around, abandoning the carcass it had previously been devouring. It looked at Will. It still amazed Nancy how it could hold a gaze so fiercely with no eyes. Will was completely frozen to the spot. Nancy could see the fear coming off of him in waves. The demogorgon made a throaty noise, starting as a low rumble and gradually reaching a higher pitch. Curious. Deadly. It would lunge for Will at any second. Nancy did the only thing she could think to do.

    She took off running."

    OR

    Nancy gets a debilitating injury running from a demogorgon and Robin takes care of her while she loses her mind about being useless.
