Summary
Of course she didn’t know what it meant back then, just chalked it up to lucky guesses and quick reflexes—logical and easily explainable. It stopped being simple luck the night she was patrolling with Robin and Will—checking out the location from her most recent vision—and a demodog launched out of the darkness exactly as she had seen in her head. It stopped being a case of basic quick reflexes when that extra breath of time stretched out and slowed down around her until everything was silent and still and she could walk up to the creature and shove her pistol into its gaping maw while it leapt in creeping slow motion towards her friends—towards Robin. She pulled the trigger and it dropped dead to the ground with a hole in the back of its skull before the other two even knew it was there, confused as hell about how Nancy just seemed to shift ten feet to the right instantly. Nancy Wheeler had never really been quite normal, but now she knew it.

Or, Nancy has some new abilities, Hawkins is locked in quarantine, new monsters show up, Vecna has a terrible plan, and Nancy has to make some terrible choices to figure out what it all means for her and everyone around her.Bookmarked by Queerpuff1989

Something's Going On With Robin... by HerSweetMockingMouth

Summary
Nancy can't seem to stop watching Robin — the way she talks, the way she moves, the way she loves the people around her. And, more and more, how sad she is too. Nancy can't figure out why she cares so damn much about understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but Nancy has never been one to abandon a case when it's difficult.
Robin knows she's not supposed to think this way. That you're supposed to love yourself and rah-rah-rah, and she does. So much of her life is beautiful, she knows that. But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel likes she’s the one they’d call a monster. And honestly… something feels like it's about to break.
AKA: Robin deals with being gay in the 80s, and Nancy proves that being a hero means more than killing monsters.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler is pretty sure she just caught Robin Buckley and Steve Harrington in a morning after. Hurt, furious, and convinced Robin has been lying to her, Nancy confronts her...only to learn the truth Robin’s been terrified to tell her.
Steve Harrington is, unfortunately, adjacently involved.

Summary
After a confrontation that turns violent, Robin does what she always does: jokes, deflects, pretends it doesn’t hurt.
But Nancy saw the punch. Nancy heard the words. And she’s done pretending, too.Bookmarked by Queerpuff1989

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)
