Summary
Eighteen months after the Upside Down's destruction, Robin Buckley and Nancy Wheeler reunite with Steve and Jonathan on the roof of The Squawk in Hawkins, where a charged moment between them reignites long buried, unspoken feelings that had been simmering under the surface. Set against the backdrop of their beloved Hawkins and the vibrant energy of Boston, this heartfelt coming-of-age and coming-out romance imagines a future for Nancy and Robin that builds upon the chemistry hinted at in their scenes together in Stranger Things and the awakening of Nancy Wheeler to her attraction to women. As Robin and Nancy navigate the complexities of their evolving relationship, both women must confront their pasts and embrace their true selves, proving that love can flourish even amid the shadows of supernatural events and small town expectations.

Summary
On occasion, Nancy starts to think, when she’s hanging out with Robin, just a little bit, about what it would be like to be with her. Like, really with her. She thinks Robin would make a really great girlfriend. Her eyes are so pretty and her lips look so soft.
Sometimes she imagines herself holding Robin’s hand, cuddling up on the couch, or even kissing her.
Purely scientific, of course. It’s all just a new concept for her.
If Nancy was gay, she thinks she’d definitely like Robin back, unlike stupid Tammy Thompson.
But Nancy likes boys. Always has. Since kindergarten.
She had loved Steve and Jonathan.
So she can’t like Robin like that, even if it would probably be nice.- Language:

Summary
Robin's spent far too much of her life being afraid. Of of what would happen if people knew the truth about her. Of her friends leaving her when they find out who she really is. After seeing Nancy get Vecna'd, she's realized there are quite frankly bigger things to worry about. Like, for example, her or Nancy's untimely death.
She doesn't want her or Nancy to die without telling Nancy the truth. She'd never forgive herself.
She's going to tell Nancy she likes her.

Butterflies don't fly in the rain.
They don't. It's a fact. Probably. A theory. A hypothesis, at least.
No it's... it's real. Robin had never seen a butterfly dance between the heavy, but beautiful, crystal raindrops falling from above.

Robin makes Nancy fall in love with rain (and herself).

Summary
Robin gets roped into going on a road trip with Steve and his group of teenagers, oh and her crush who can't possibly like her back. And isn't it such a good idea to stay in a small enclosed space (which Robin hates) with the girl whom you possibly, maybe, definitely have feelings for?
OR
Robin and Nancy go on a road trip with the rest of the party, and along the way they figure out some feelings and have a little talk.

Summary
After the Hellish events of spring break, Nancy, Robin, and Steve are in dire need of some fun. On a warm spring evening, a chill hangout at Steve’s descends into beer, chaos, and laughter. With no more distractions, Robin and Nancy can’t help but notice their pull to one another.
'Nancy stared at her friend, the warm glow of the lamp bringing out the blue of her eyes and the soft smattering of freckles. Had Robin always been this beautiful? She couldn't help but shift even closer to her. Nancy wanted nothing more than to cradle her jaw, run a hand through her hair, and kiss her.'
I.e. Soft, shameless fluff because Robin needs to be protected.Bookmarked by tragicarrow

Summary
"Hey," Robin said conspiratorially, looking down at Nancy. Another flashback. They hadn't been this close since the Upside Down, she thought. She didn't miss that, but she kind of missed this. "You want to get out of here?"
"Um, excuse me?" Nancy laughed, blushing, and Robin immediately regretted speaking, which was not an unfamiliar feeling for her. Just clumsy, every which way.
"No! I just meant, you know, like 'Let's blow this popsicle stand,'" Robin said, gesturing in a way incomprehensible even to her.

Summary
“Come over tonight?”
(She shouldn’t have asked that. She should’ve let Robin go home to her room, far away from Nancy who is like a poison, sucking the life out of Robin, slowly killing her like she does with everyone else. But Robin is pretty and bruised and Nancy just can’t help herself.)
“I-Yeah. Yes. I get off at six, I’ll have to go home and grab some stuff.”
“You could bike straight to mine? I mean, I have clothes you can wear. A toothbrush you can use.”
“You’re gonna let me use your toothbrush?”
“Jesus, Robin, no. I have an extra.”
OR
Nancy has so much guilt, Robin is going to help her.

Summary
Eventually they reached the parking garage, where Robin pointed out Nancy’s car. “Whoa, Indiana plates!”
Nancy bit back a laugh. “You know what my car looks like.”
“Yeah, but that’s the beginning and end of the list of things I’m going to recognize for the next few days.”
“Feeling homesick?”
“Not anymore,” Robin said, so earnestly that she couldn’t have been talking about the license plate. Nancy blushed.

Summary
Nancy stared up at the ceiling. She wanted to look over the edge of her bed, stare at Robin’s sleeping body, but she refrained from actually doing it. Robin, for some ridiculous reason, had insisted on sleeping on the floor. For some inexplicable reason Nancy had been hurt by this. It was stupid really, but she had thought that asking Robin to be the one to share her room would make things easier instead of more awkward. If she had wanted the awkward shuffling and dancing around each other, she would have surely asked Steve to keep her company. Although, despite this, she had no regrets. Even if Robin was laying on the floor at the foot of her bed, she was happy the girl was here.
OR
Nancy figuring out her feelings and trying her best to flirt with her best friend.

Summary
Class was half way over and Nancy was just staring at the clock, trying to will the seconds to move faster. She didn’t notice Robin taking the empty seat beside her. “Your middle name is definitely Marie,” she said, causing Nancy to startle and whip around to look at her.
“It definitely is not. And is that your plan, guess Marie every time until you’re finally right?” Nancy asked.
“I mean, it’s a pretty solid guess, as far as middle names in this part of the Midwest are concerned, but if it’s not Marie, then what is it?”
“I’m not telling.”
“Why not?”
“If you’re so good at guessing, then guess.” Nancy was being difficult for no other reason than that she could be, but part of her also wanted to hold Robin’s attention for a little bit longer for a reason she couldn’t quite pinpoint.

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.

Summary
The moment Robin looked at her, Nancy’s lips were already on hers. Hard, messy, tongue licking hotly into her mouth—
Whiskey.
Robin was almost sure of it. Her father’s? A special delivery from Murray? Not as sharp as the vodka last time, smoky almost. But still overwhelming, leaving only the faintest hint of Nancy herself.
The older girl pressed closer, hungry. Oh, so hungry, whimpering sharply into Robin's mouth, squirming against her—
Robin didn’t press back. Didn’t escalate. Tried to coax Nancy into stillness.Or,
Nancy makes a habit of showing up drunk on Robin's doorstep, a habit of kissing and touching Robin in a way she would never sober, or would she?

At least, she wanted to think that. She had a firm grip of who she was, but with each day that went by her grip was getting weaker. She felt like she was losing herself.
She never questioned her fundamental beliefs, that was, until she met Robin Buckley.

“You jealous or something?” Nancy smirked.
Yes. Yes, Robin was jealous because those dates hadn’t been with her!
“No!” she sputtered instead. “Well, maybe yes. How do you have the courage to ask girls out? Every time I try, I get majorly tongue-tied.”
How can I ask you out? She left unsaid. Maybe if she could woman up and ask someone out she could convince her heart to move on from Nancy. That was possible, right? That had to be possible, or else she was not going to survive these next four years.
Or, the four times Nancy talked through flowers and the one time Robin talked back
