    Summary

    Nancy can't stop watching Robin: the way she talks, laughs, fidgets, loves. But, more and more, how sad she is too. Nancy’s not sure why she cares so damn much about finally understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but she’s accepted the goal all the same. And Nancy was nothing if not goal-oriented.

    Robin knows she shouldn’t think this way. That she should “count her blessings”, and “love herself”, and rah-rah-rah. I mean, yes, so much of her life is beautiful, and she knows that! But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel like she’s the one that people would call a monster. And after all this time… well, words begin to stick.

    AKA: Robin deals with being gay in the 80s, and Nancy learns that being a hero means more than just killing monsters.

    Featuring: curious eyes, a loss of hope, surprising allies, an Indianapolis gay club, summer heat waves (in more ways than one), a rewritten season five, and the origin story of a life-changing love.

    Summary

    Nancy stared at her, her expression shifted. Not angry. Not hurt. Focused. Eerily similar to her I'm gonna commit a crime face. “Robin.”

    “Nancy?” Robin tilted her head. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

    Nancy stepped closer. Close enough that Robin’s back brushed the edge of the desk behind her. Then her hands fell to Robin's hips, keeping her in place,

    “Robin Buckley,” Nancy deliberately tipped her head up so their gazes were locked, “I underestimated how catastrophically bad you're at social cues.”

    Robin huffed. “Rude, I told you I was.”

    “Look at me.”

    Robin did. She always did when Nancy asked like that.

    “We have been dating,” Nancy said slowly, enunciating every word, “for nearly six months.”

    Or,

    Steve is needling Robin into finally landing herself a girlfriend—both unaware she already has one at home.

    Summary

    Nat slows, hands in her jacket pockets and brows slightly raised because she’s never exactly been close with Lottie.

    Yet there she is, peeling a menacing gaze away from the group of boys and settling a soft one upon Natalie once she spots her, all long brown hair and tan skin and god, Nat is always fucking winded at how tall she is.

    or,

    —Do you have any weapons on you?
    —I have a longing that's killing me.

    Summary

    "So we could all do our duty! We could all be strong. Be together!”

    Rumi is begging.

    Rumi is begging and Mira had wanted to be just that, be together, up until five minutes ago – her and Zoey had talked about it in detail, how both of their heart were beating for two people, how easy it had been to fall in love with their leader, how they wanted to try and be more, once they had restored the Golden Honmoon.

    But Rumi lied to them.

    And Mira finds she doesn’t want her anymore, not right now.

    (She doesn’t know, not yet, what she will lose. Destiny laughs into her ears and it is the sound of someone gone mad.)

     

    (They find her in the dirt by the tree, cold and pale and covered in blood.)

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    (or: Celine does as Rumi begs her to. Grabs the sword and puts down the feral dog kneeling at her feet. There really isn't much more to say.)
