    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

    Field schools are notoriously exhausting, educational, and messy. Robin knows this and expects there to be drama and fights, but she thought they wouldn’t involve her. She had no idea how wrong she was. Confusing feelings caused by a confusing love triangle leave Robin spiralling for the majority of the trip, and the rest of the summer. How will she get through this trip and deal with the aftermath once everyone is back in school in the fall?
