    Summary

    "It's not like that!" Robin yells, immediate. "She's-- Steve knows her. She's Steve's friend."

    "So are approximately a half dozen high schoolers," Eddie replies, and Robin drops her head into her hands.

    "He sent me an article of hers he thought I'd find interesting," Robin begins to explain, dropping her spoon to wave her hands around wildly, "and it was really good, okay? Like, incredible writing, really poignant, and I just thought Christ, she's fucking smart, and I started scrolling through her Twitter-- she doesn't have her face in her profile pic, so it was completely innocent, okay!-- and then I kept scrolling, and I maybe saw a photo and thought wow, okay, and then maybe I kept scrolling for a while and it was questionably late at night and maybe I accidentally hit follow?" Robin finishes, finally looking up to gauge Eddie's expression. He looks like he's trying really hard not to laugh at her, nodding mock seriously.

    "And at any point in your creeper stalking," he asks, paying no heed to Robin's loud groan in response, "did you remember that you're a chart-topping musician and that if you wanted Steve's friend's number, you could've just texted him like a normal person?"

    Summary

    Nancy's parents raised her to be a very specific type of person. The Upside Down made her realize she couldn't have that kind of future. A certain video store worker makes her realize she never wanted that future anyways.

    Or, in getting to know Robin, Nancy gets to know herself. It gets gay from there. Set vaguely after volume 1 (and prob volume 2) of season 4, as a speculation of what the future post-Vecna could look like for the pair.
