    Summary

    Choosing her words carefully, Karen asked, “Aren’t you at least a little bit interested?”

    Nancy—her brow furrowed in confusion—answered, “In what?”

    “It’s just…you’re still single.”

    “Thank you for pointing out the abysmally sad state of my love life, Mother, but I’m busy and don’t need—”

    “You’re a fierce, independent young woman who’s in charge of her own life. Honey, I know,” Karen told her. “But…I also think that part of the reason you haven’t found a nice girl in Boston is because your interest has been about a hundred miles west all year.”

    Nancy’s cheeks flushed pink instantly. “Wha–I don’t–I’m going to bed,” she fumbled out and stood up to leave.

    “Nancy Elizabeth, don’t you dare try to tell me that you haven’t been head over heels for that girl for years.”

    Summary

    Robin tries not to think about it.
     
    She remembers a time not that long ago when she’d look at another girl the way she thinks Will looked at Mike at that stupid barbecue and her heart aches for him, and for her past self.
     
    Aches and aches and aches.
     
    But it’s fine, because she’s not thinking about it.  

    ----------

    Something's up with Will. Robin's sure of it. She wants to help. She can see how scared he is, how lonely. She knew that feeling, before she and Nancy fell in love and all that. It doesn't matter that she's too chicken to tell anybody they're together. It's fine. It's great. She's just worried about Will.

    Summary

    “What are you – Why are you looking at me like that?”

    “Like what?”

    Robin swallows. Licks her lips.

    “I don’t know,” Robin says, because she doesn’t.

    “Yes,” Nancy says, entirely too confident. “You do.”

    ---------

    Robin and Nancy hang out a lot. They're friends. It's not dating. It's not. Robin's certain. Until she... isn't.

    Summary

    “You know what I mean,” Robin pleaded. “You keep cornering me, appearing out of thin air for these drive-by make-outs, then vanishing like a… a sexy ghost!”

    Nancy’s brows bounced in slight amusement.

    “You keep running away from me,” Robin said, softer now.

    Nancy paused at that. “That’s why you locked me in here? So I couldn’t run?”

    “Whoa, okay—don’t say it like that. Makes it sound… predatory.” Robin scratched the back of her neck, her eyes flicking toward the padlock. “You can leave if you want. Just to be clear.”

    or

    Hawkins is in ruins. The gang is surviving in a bunker. Nancy is composed on the surface, yet slightly troubled underneath. Robin is just... underneath Nancy a lot.

    Summary

    “That was mine,” Nancy said, tapping her fingers against the empty bottle on the table as she walked by and taking a seat perched on the arm of the couch. All the empty seats in that basement and she still had to choose the one closest to Robin.

    “I know. Why are you here?” Robin asked.

    “I broke up with Jonathan.”

    “Wow. Finally.” Her voice was flat and emotionless.

    “So I figured I’d just sleep here tonight to give him some space and have a celebratory drink. But…why are you here drinking my vodka alone?”

    “Because Vickie dumped me and unlike you, I actually liked my relationship,” Robin said harshly, refusing to look at Nancy.

    Nancy placed her hands on her lap and looked down sheepishly. “Oh…because of last night?”

    “Of course because of last night,” Robin scoffed. “Jesus, Nancy. Why would you do that? I told you. I told you not to answer it.”

    “I just thought it would be Steve—”

    “That’s bullshit and you know it.”

    -

    Or, Vickie breaks up with Robin and it’s definitely at least partly Nancy’s fault. Angst and smut follows because these two are in love even if their timing is horrible.
