Summary
Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.
But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.
Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.

Summary
It's still there, sometimes. Which shouldn't surprise her, really - she's seen how Max's eyes glaze over when she lets herself sit still, how Steve jerks awake at the slightest sound, how Nancy scans every new room for its exits. But Robin also knows she got off pretty easily, in comparison to the others. Feels like maybe she hasn't earned it.
The Upside Down, clearly, doesn't fucking care.
In which Robin makes it to Paris, Steve stays in Hawkins, and the answer to "is this shit safe to breathe?" turns out to be a definitive no.

The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows by smileweakandwrong

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.”

Robin gets injured.
Nancy tries to help.
Robin panics and asks for Steve.
Nancy takes that about as well as you’d expect.
Things spiral from there.
Or: Robin Buckley has survived a lot of things, but surviving something and knowing how to let someone new take care of you are two very different things.Bookmarked by theWeatherIsNice

Summary
“Are you flirting with me, Nancy Wheeler?”
Nancy turned the color of the berries she and Robin had spent the whole morning picking.
“N-No,” she gasped. “No, I was just—I wasn’t—”
“It’s okay, Nance,” said Robin, flashing a toothy grin that bloomed into a soft laugh. “It’s not like I mind.”
Nancy looked at her incredulously. “You…You don’t?”
Robin shook her head. “I’m flattered. Everyone knows you’re the most beautiful woman in Hawkins. It’s kind of nice to pretend that you might want somebody like me as frightfully as we all want you.”
OR: the one in which Nancy Wheeler is the God-fearing daughter of a close-knit community’s corrupt pastor, and the things she longs for Robin Buckley to do to her would make even the Devil blush.

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.”

Summary
Robin loudly slurps her strawberry milkshake, red straw puckered between her lips. A little leftover sits in the dip of her bottom lip.
Nancy drops her gaze to the table.
"So," she starts quietly, swallowing down her doubt—the uncontrollable skip in her chest each time their knees brush. "Are you gonna let me try strawberry, or...?"
Robin looks up at her, eyes wide—expectant. The straw falls out of her mouth.
"Or—" Nancy stumbles a little. "Let me suffer with vanilla forever."
Robin blinks. "Uh—yeah, of course. Try away. I can get you a spare straw if—"
But Nancy is already sliding the glass across the table, cool against her fingertips, and taking Robin's wet straw into her mouth.
–
The Upside Down is gone, but Nancy still can't sleep... unless one Robin Buckley is next to her.
She doesn't know why.

Summary
“I told my mom I might marry a woman, and she sort of brushed it off and asked if I’d ever been in a serious relationship with a woman, so I… told her I am.”
“What?!” Robin’s jaw dropped, “Dude!”
“I know!” Nancy groaned, “It was stupid, I was just so mad -”
“Didn’t she have followup questions?!” Robin laughed, “Did the lie just fall apart immediately, is that why you didn’t tell me? You were embarrassed?”
“I told her it was you.”
Robin’s stomach dropped.
“What?” She asked.
“She invited you to our house for Christmas.”

Robin Buckley’s Exceptional Staff Picks by MizeryChik

Summary
It wasn’t really about the dance. Robin couldn’t care less about some lame attempt to generate school spirit. But the holidays were readily approaching and she hadn’t even started her applications. Her academic future felt like a land mine she was continuously side-stepping. Not to mention she had hardly spent any time with her band mates since July. Her social circle was becoming a squished oval and to top it all off she was going to be late for work because she forgot to change the stupid batteries in her stupid alarm.
OR
A canon divergent series that follows Robin Buckley after the events of Starcourt (With a generous sprinkling of Ronance).Bookmarked by theWeatherIsNice

When Robin notices Nancy struggling, she steps closer.
When Nancy notices Robin hurting, she does the same.
What starts as mutual concern becomes something warmer, heavier, and impossible to ignore. Still, they keep their feelings hidden, convinced the other deserves help, not complications.Bookmarked by theWeatherIsNice

Summary
It begins with words Robin overhears without being seen. Invisibility kept her alive once. Now Steve’s comfort makes her real, Nancy’s attention makes her visible, and being seen feels less like connection and more like time running out.

Summary
'It had never taken anyone this long to write a phone number. Both because Robin was really trying to make sure her handwriting was legible, and because she was having trouble remembering what her phone number even was at 7:47 in the morning while she held Nancy Wheeler’s hand. Not for any weird reason, they had just never touched hands when their lives weren’t in danger. It was different, that was all.
“I think that’s right.” She mumbled as she dropped Nancy’s hand and offered the pen back.
“You think?” Nancy smiled at her, teasing, pulling a smile through the cloud of fatigue that had been keeping Robin’s face in an unconscious grimace all morning.
“It’s so early…” She said by way of explanation. Nancy chuckled.'

Summary
Ronance AU - Modern time
Nancy Wheeler is an actress dealing with a messy breakup and relentless paparazzi.
Robin Buckley on the other hand is more of an 'underground' indie musician, far away from fame and celebrity culture.
When their worlds collide, the attention Nancy can't escape drags Robin into drama she never wanted.

Something's Going On With Robin... by HerSweetMockingMouth
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
14 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Nancy can't stop watching Robin: the way she talks, laughs, fidgets, loves. But, more and more, how sad she was 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
*Steve doesn’t work at the WSQK, but he and Robin are still good friends. This is during the 18 month time-skip between season 4 and 5.*
The crawls were draining everyone. Nancy having to do most of the planning-then constantly being doubted, even though her plans never failed. Her mind was always occupied.
The only thing that grounded her was working with Robin, at the WSQK (squawk). They’d grown closer because of their time together, and Nancy soon found herself wanting to know more. To be with Robin more.
Only as friends, of course. (wink wink nudge nudge)
