Summary
Running into each other by chance in the uncertain days after Vecna destroyed the town, Robin and Nancy open up to one another. Nancy is forced to do some self-reflection that leads her to a minor sexuality crisis and a lot of inner turmoil but, also, a new beginning.
Inspired by the line “she looks like the real thing / she tastes like the real thing” in Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead, Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac, and multiple tik tok edits of Nancy Barb and Robin. This is like a mini Nancy character study moment with her coming to terms with her sexuality and feelings for Robin. Plus I gave her and Barb’s friendship a homoerotic vibe like jackieshauna from yellowjackets if you catch my drift just for fun

It all ultimately leads to an impromptu night at Steve's house where Robin finally gets the memo that Nancy's been flirting with her and makes a real move

Summary
She glances to the side without turning her head yet and sees a familiar head of brown hair. Nancy is standing there in the red light distracted by pulling what Robin thinks is a camera case out of her satchel bag as she kicks the door shut lightly. She spots Robin as Robin turns and her eyes narrow. Robin offers a little wave.
“Hi Nancy. We’ve, uh, gotta stop meeting like this,” she jokes.
Nancy rolls her eyes.
“How many times do I have to tell you the darkroom is off limits?”
aka
3 times Robin gets caught sneaking into the school paper's darkroom after taking up photography + the 1 time Nancy doesn't actually mind after all

Summary
"Robin realizes that this is the girl Steve is in love with, too. That he’s been in love with her for as long as she’s known him. And fuck him for having amazing taste, and fuck him for having the right anatomy, and fuck him for being the perfect guy that Nancy chooses. And fuck Robin for kind of hating him right now."
or: Steve and Nancy get back together one week after Robin realized she was in love with Nancy. Robin handles it as well as you'd expect.

Summary
“How was coffee?” Nancy asks.
Robin snorts. “Really nice, actually. Sometimes I forget my mom is so similar to me. She literally would not shut up about Spider-Woman.”
Nancy freezes. Doesn’t look up as she stirs. “Oh? You know about Spider-Woman?”
(Or: Nancy and Robin are roommates, Robin bears witness to Nancy’s many failed dates, and there's more than one "coming out".)
