The fact that Nancy will never know that Barb's last word was Nancy.

[the-lark-ascending69]

Nancy Wheeler love triangle but instead of Jonathan and Steve it's Barb and Robin and instead of choosing between two love interests she has to choose between a rotting love for her dead best friend that's haunted her since girlhood even though she will never know if she felt the same or if she was allowed to love her but she clings to her grief regardless because pain is the only way she can still feel love for the soulmate she doomed, and between a living girl who fights tooth and nail to survive in a world that wants her dead and shares her dreams and hopes for the future and knows true love is real but has always felt it was denied to her yet she wants to believe she'll find it one day, and maybe she's found it already if her love looked to the future instead of the past for once since she lost her soul to the jaws of the monster.

Day 6 of @bylerween2023 Treak or Treating

Barb’s parents took the picture :)

Also I headcanon that Will was a big Scooby Doo fan in kindergarten and want to dress up as the Scooby gang so Mike begged Nancy and Barb to dress as Velda and Daphne but they wanted to do their own thing lol so he begged his mum and Will’s mum to dress up as them instead lol.

Also headcanon Jonathan had a big interest in wolves around the same time so both Will and Jonathan were begging Joyce to get a dog for them lol.

Hinting at this since day 1 hehehehehe >:]

If I Should Stay

Part 1 | . . . | Part 15 | Part 16 | Part 17

That evening, the older members of the Party make their way into a rift, one Nancy had found the first time and later told Steve about. They younger members stay in Steve’s house, safe. Each of the older members have a walkie-talkie, but the younger members only have two: a main and a backup.

Each of the older members also have a weapon. Nancy has the shotgun, which she’d been practicing with all afternoon. Steve has the nail bat, Robin has Molotov cocktails—and the means to make more should the occasion arise—Jonathan has a tire iron, and Eddie has a metal bat.

They make their way into the rift, Steve going first and Jonathan bringing up the rear. “We need to stay together as much as we can,” Steve murmurs. “Depending on the state they’re in, we may have to split up. If we do, Nancy, Jonathan and Robin, you stay with Barb. Get her out of here as fast as you can and in the car. Don’t unlock the doors for anything or anyone besides us, got it?”

Nancy nods. “Got it,” Jonathan says.

Robin gives him a look, but knocks their shoulders together in acceptance. “Keys,” she murmurs, and Steve drops his car keys in her hand, squeezing her fingers for a second before releasing.

They find Barb first, nearly unconscious and shivering, tucked into some trees.

Nancy runs to her, shoving the shotgun into whoever’s closest, meaning Eddie almost falls over as he tries to grab it.

He turns to Jonathan. ��Can you shoot?”

Jonathan looks dubiously at the gun. “No.”

Eddie smirks and hands him the metal bat. “Then I think this might work better.”

As soon as Nancy reaches Barb, something in the trees behind them growls. Nancy whips her head up, looking into the trees, then turns to look at everyone else, a question clear in her eyes.

“Eddie,” Steve murmurs, not taking his eyes off the trees. “You can shoot?”

Eddie pumps the slide, checks the safety isn’t on, and widens his stance. “Just tell me what to shoot.”

Steve grimaces. “You’ll know when you see it.”

With that, he advances towards the trees, taking measured steps. He reaches Nancy and Barb, helps hoist Barb up, and slowly, they make their way back towards the group.

They get about halfway before Robin gasps, and Steve immediately shoves Barb onto Nancy, spinning around with his bat up and ready.

He’s just in time. A demogorgon crashes through the trees, heading straight for them. He hears Eddie yelp, a high, panicked, “What the fuck?” but he can’t focus on that, just swings his bat when the creature gets close enough.

A second later, the shotgun goes off, and the demogorgon’s head is gone.

Steve stands for a second, looking around, listening for anything else, but that seems to be it. He helps Nancy with Barb again and together they make their way back to the group. “She’s not gonna make it all the way to Will,” Steve says. “Jon, come take her from me. Get them safe to the car, alright?”

Jonathan nods and steps forward, mouth a thin line.

Steve turns to Nancy. “Do you want the gun back? Will you be able to react in time and shoot them?”

Nancy bites her lip, thinking, then shakes her head. “The cocktails,” she says. “As long as we have those…”

Robin steps forward and nods. “I gotcha.”

Jonathan hands Nancy the metal bat and situates Barb so he’s carrying her piggyback-style, with his tire iron helping to support her weight.

Steve takes a breath. “Alright. Get back safe. Robs, you’ve got the walkie?”

She nods. “I’ll radio if we need anything, but we’ll be fine, okay? Get Will and get out.”

Steve nods and pulls out his own walkie as they separate. “Home base, Barb is secure. We’re splitting up now, Eddie and I are going to find Will. We need directions.”

The walkie crackles to life. “Where’d you find her?”

Steve looks around, desperate for a landmark. Eddie puts a hand on his arm, grabs for the walkie talkie. “We’re about two miles east of Skull Rock.” He shrugs when Steve stares at him. “I spent a lot of time in the woods growing up.”

“Got it,” the walkie-talkie says. “Lucas says head north. We’ve got El tracking you, we’ll let you know when to turn.”

They head north, keeping an eye out for anything else. “So you said last time… bats get me?”

Steve nods. “The kids call them demobats. Ugly little fuckers with long tails that they use to wrap around your throat, arms, legs… whatever they can get. Razor-sharp teeth.”

Eddie sighs. “You mean to say I get eaten by bats and don’t turn into a vampire?”

Steve laughs. “Unfortunately, no. Otherwise I don’t think we’d be here.”

thinking about barb and nancy + that 'it didnt have to end this way vs it was always going to' post. because at first glance, it DIDNT have to end that way. barb could have lived and loved and her and nancy would be happy. if nance had gone home with barb, or declined steves invitation, she would still have her best friend. but then, when you look deeper into it - it did have to happen. if barb hadnt died nancy would still have heels in her shoebox instead of a gun, and the pretty pink wallpaper coating her walls, and she wouldnt have ever been able to protect hawkins. their town would have fallen a long time ago if nancy didnt go upstairs. barb is both the unstoppable force and the unmovable object. her death isolates nancy, turns her on herself, festers in the back of her mind like a parasite - but its that same guilt that drives her forwards. nancy has to grieve to allow the anger it puts in her to fight. it was always going to end that way. barb was always going to die. nancy is a soldier, and barb is her sword, sharp and bright and cutting.
