    Summary

    She keeps her hand there though, on Patty’s shoulder. She likes it. Patty is warm through her sweater. She doesn’t shrug Allison's hand off, just like she didn't move away when Allison scooched closer to her on the couch an hour ago, just like how she let Allison’s thigh touch hers through their pants twenty minutes ago. Allison likes the proximity, likes pushing Patty’s boundaries, Patty who never used to even look at her, now touching her at three different points. 

    __

    Just a little more of Allison and Patty on the couch in 2x06.

    Summary

    Robin reaches for her. She slides a tentative hand towards her, palm up, knuckles skimming over Nancy’s thigh, the tips of her fingers twitching ever so slightly. 

    Nancy stares. And stares. 

    She wants to tell Robin, don’t offer your hand to me. If I hold it now, I might never let go. 

    She wants to tell herself, religion has taught you to be merciful. So be that. Let her go. Don’t take her hand when you might rip it clean off. 

    or: Robin is Nancy’s safe place.

    Summary

    Compelled by something, some previously subdued force, Nancy bends down and presses her lips against the flowering blue bruises forming chains on Robin’s wrists. Her fingers curl under Nancy’s chin and she closes her eyes, appreciating the touch for the fleeting moment.

    “Was that okay?”

    Summary

    “So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”

    Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.
