Summary
Nancy heard a rustling from down in the hole, a panicked animal kind of movement. She stopped in her tracks, kept her gun up steady.
The noise stopped as suddenly as it started. There was a pause. All Nancy heard was her own deep breathing, the gentle wind, and some scattered birdsong that told her this thing probably wasn't a predator, whatever it was. And then the quiet broke.
"Stay back!" A woman's voice, raspy and dry. Nancy was thirsty at the sound of it. "I'm armed! You don't want to mess with me, I'm- Shit."
"I'm armed too," Nancy said, her voice calmer now, modulated, despite the pounding of her heart in her throat. "And you're stuck in a hole. I can leave you to it if you want, or I can throw a grenade down there to keep you company. Or you can put your hands up and maybe we can talk like civilized people. Your choice."

Summary
Finally, she’s able to get the number in right. The ring is sharp against her ear. Pick the fuck up, she thinks, and someone must be listening, because the ringing stops.
“All right, Harrington, what’s on this week’s nightmare menu? And don’t tell me the one about drowning in your pool again, man, we all know that’s rich kid—”
“It’s Nancy.”
A long pause, then a laugh. “Wheeler? To what do I owe this late-night honor?”
“I, um.” Nancy’s tongue feels stuck to the inside of her mouth, like bare skin on upholstery. “I was wondering if you’ve got a couch I can crash on?”
Nancy finds herself in Olympia, Washington on the eve of the Riot Grrrl movement.

Love Seeping From Their Guns by agentlevetan, summersociety
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Robin Buckley’s supposed to be a silent wall. An unwavering barrier defending her client from the poisonous fangs and claws of the outside world. A dependable shield who, when doing her job well, is practically invisible despite being in plain sight.
Usually, she has no issue with any of this. Excels at it all, really. But unfortunately, her current protectee seems fiercely determined to put herself in harm's way, and Robin isn’t sure she’s going to be able to make it through this high-profile gig without racking up a few criminal charges.
Nancy Wheeler’s supposed to be the perfect daughter. A mild-mannered socialite smiling and waving on cue. A temporary journalist using her college education to write puff pieces until she settles down.
Much to her parents’ chagrin, Nancy has never been anything like the demure doll they expected her to be, and she has no plans of ever doing so. Not when there’s so much vile corruption and wickedness oozing out of practically every office and facility in the country. Not when she seems to be the only one willing to do anything about it.

Summary
It’s strangely quiet on the Odysseus when Nancy feels herself slipping back into consciousness. It immediately puts her on edge. She’s been working in space for years at this point, but it never stops giving her that rush of adrenaline, that fear that sits at the base of her spine. If she’s honest, that’s why she started the work.

Summary
“Shut up.” And she pulls Robin back down to her lips.
Nancy doesn’t know how long they stand there, making out in the kitchen like a couple of horny teenagers (which, she supposes, they technically are—she’s not twenty until next year and Robin’s only just turned nineteen). It’s long enough for their kisses to turn desperate, for Robin’s lips to move from her mouth to her neck, nipping and biting just light enough to avoid leaving a mark, for her hands to move upwards under Nancy’s shirt, carefully tracing the bottom of her bra. Long enough for Nancy to weave her fingers into Robin’s hair, pulling her closer, for her free hand to travel to the waistband of Robin’s jeans, scratching gently over the skin just above it.
Long enough that Nancy’s senses are overwhelmed by Robin enough for them to miss the footsteps coming up the stairs.
“Oh my god, my eyes!”

Summary
"Gross, dude," Robin muttered, but she was distracted by Nancy, who was evidently distracted by a woman who had just walked into the bar. Older, mid forties maybe. Short dark hair. Conservative kind of business-y outfit. Robin didn't recognize her. She was more concerned at the moment with the furrow in Nancy's brow, and the urge to press her thumb just there to smooth it out. Leave a thumbprint behind as evidence. Robin Buckley was here.
"Hey. Steve," Nancy said, eyes not leaving the woman at the bar. "How about you try... spreading the Gospel, I guess... to her?" She gestured at the woman. "She's one of Owens' people. Agent... Stinson I think. She's obviously off-duty, she might be open to it?"

Summary
The earth crumbles under every step, hellish geysers spewing the very lifeblood of the core onto streets. Ash blankets the sky, blotting out the sun, drowning the world in darkness. Oceans churn and roil violently, engulfing any who dare try and sail its waters as it rages with white froth. Jagged spires of rock and earth jut out of the ground, uprooting countless buildings and hungrily devouring any unfortunate soul who cannot outrun its encroaching claws.
Below it all, a demon stirs.
…
OR; in which a foe older than time itself rears its ugly head, and the fate of the material plane is left in the hands of an angel with too-big wings and a devil with dreams of salvation.

Summary
“And the album.” Nancy clicked her pen. “It’s been on the Top 100 for three weeks now, with four singles in the Top 10. Quite impressive for a debut. What inspires your music?”
“Well,” Robin had repeated the story dozens of times to dozens of reporters, but her heart was racing in her chest as she said in this context. “Love, really. The album was about a girl I loved in high school that didn’t know I existed.”
Brief realization flashed in Nancy’s eyes before they steeled back to business, and she continued their interview with, “And where’s this girl now?”
With her heart in her throat and her stomach tying itself into a double-knot, Robin managed to sputter out, “She’s sitting across from me.”

Summary
“What you have to understand is — although we do race as a team and want the team to do well, ultimately in Formula One, your teammate is your biggest competition.” Robin Buckley shifted in her seat briefly, ignoring the studio lights as best as she could to look at her interviewer.
“And do you feel that way about Nancy Wheeler now that she’s joining you at Red Bull?”
“Not at the moment, no.” She pauses, not quite thinking about her next words.
“She would have to get a whole lot quicker to compete with me.”

Boyfriend, Nancy thought, but didn’t dare to say it out loud. Hopper already looked as frustrated as she felt, there was no need to antagonize him.
“Yes, Robin?”
Did Buckley really just raise her hand like a little kid?
“When do we start?”
“Today.”
And, with that her Friday was officially ruined.———
