    Summary

    "That's—Nancy, that's where we broadcast—"

    "I don't care." Nancy was already moving toward it, pulling Robin with her, and Robin went because apparently she would follow Nancy Wheeler anywhere, even into bad decisions.

    OR: Nancy has a thing about guns. Robin has a thing about Nancy. The math does itself.

    Summary

    Robin showed up at her door on a Thursday afternoon, no warning, and said, "Want to walk?" Nancy grabbed her jacket without answering because the alternative was sitting in the living room while her mother and Joyce Byers made small talk and pretended everyone was fine, and Nancy would rather freeze to death than do that for another hour.

    OR: Hawkins fall 1986. Nancy breaks up with Jonathan, Robin wears an insufficient denim jacket through a supernatural winter, and they both pretend they're just friends right up until they're not.

    Summary

    Nancy Wheeler survived the apocalypse, got into her dream school, and moved to Boston to start her perfectly planned future. So why does she feel like she's wearing someone else's skin?

    It starts small. With a new hairstyle. Then new clothes. And a trip or two to a local gay bar. But every comparison leads back to the same conclusion, the same variable she's been ignoring for months now:

    It's always Robin.

    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.

    [Or: Robin, through the ages.]

    Summary

    When Lou Buckley gets the call from his niece on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, he can’t say he isn’t surprised, but it’s a pleasant one.

    “I was wondering - I wanted to ask if - well, my friends and I were wanting someplace to meet up once a month, just like for a weekend, and we were wondering if we would come stay with you? It’s kind of complicated, see, because-” Lou politely waits for Robin to finish her spiel, complete with loop-backs and tangents, fiddles with the twirls of the phone cord whilst he listens to her talk. He doesn’t need to hear it, though, because he said yes in his mind three minutes back.

    OR

    A year in Philly, as told by Robin's Uncle Lou.
