fruity four as text posts that remind me of them

[harringtonandbuckley]

Nancy, leaning on the counter: Hey beautiful, come here often?

Robin: Is this the part where I remind you we've been married for four years or do I play along?

Nancy: Play along!

Robin: Alright. Sorry, I'm not interested, I'm married

How would Wenclair and Ronance interact with each other if they ever met each other?,

Ooo, seems like a fun one to answer!

Enid and Robin would become friends immediately. *Their adhd brains would recognize one another*

Wednesday and Nancy would become... acquaintances. (Wednesday feels Nancy is the more civilized of the pair)

I could see Robin being a little bit afraid of Enid after finding out she's a werewolf though. Not even for the fact that she's a like ten foot beast, no, she'd be afraid Enid has rabies. *Ensue Nancy having to convince Robin Enid does not have rabies, and Wednesday also having to reassure Enid she doesn't have rabies. As well as Wednesday pulling a knife on Robin for even suggesting such a thing about her paramour.*

Wednesday would enjoy being able to speak to Robin in a different language *while their girlfriends pout about not being able to understand them*

Wednesday would be thoroughly intrigued by the upside-down.

Nancy and Wednesday would discuss weaponry.

Enid and Nancy would bond over being badass femmes

Though she is nearly a foot taller than her, Robin would be terrified of Wednesday.

I feel as though both Nancy and Robin would be fascinated by Enid's claws.

Scar bonding! They all went through near death experiences and have scars to show for it. A dicussion about such events was had *Though when Wednesday noticed Nancy looking at Enid's scars she stared her down until she looked away*

Nancy isn't as afraid of Wednesday but she is slightly intimidated.

(That's all I seem to have. Not quite sure if I even answered this properly, but I enjoyed it.)

Again, thank you for your question, anon! I enjoyed answering! Please fear not to ask more, folks🖤

Steve Harrington: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me?

Robin Buckley: It isn’t smirking at anyone, they’re all just imagining it.

Nancy Wheeler: Three of us saw it, Robin. How do you explain that?

Robin Buckley: *points at Nancy* Sleep deprivation. *points at Dustin* Paranoia. *points at Steve* Delusional personality disorder.

Robin and Nancy? Robin and Nancy.

“It was never about Steve, just so we’re clear,”

Robin paused, mouth full of soda while she processed what Nancy was trying to say.

“What…uh…Steve?” Robin stuttered, trying to catch up.

“Why I didn’t like you, at the beginning,” explained Nancy, short curls bouncing around her face while she spoke. “It was never about him. And I wanted you to know that,”

Robin carefully set her glass down on the table. The diner was quiet, tuesday nights were never busy in any part of Hawkins. Nancy toyed with the edge of a napkin, throwing a quick glance around to see if their waitress was coming back with their food any time soon.

“Ok…thank you?” ventured Robin.

“I just…” Nancy cleared her throat and straightened her shoulders, still looking down at the table between them. “Since we’re…doing this now, this, us… I need to get it out there,”

Robin’s stomach leapt at the mention of them being an us despite only a handful of unofficial dates as she leaned slightly over the table, raising her eyebrows to encourage Nancy to keep talking.

“Barb Holland was my best friend,” said Nancy quickly. “She meant a lot to me,”

Robin practically felt the floor fall out from under her.

“When she went missing you…” Nancy steeled herself again. “I heard you saying things about her that were cruel and mean and… You said a lot of things,”

Robin was frozen. She got the impression this had been rehearsed in the mirror.

“So I need to know why you did that,” finished Nancy with a sharp nod. “Why you said all that,”

Nancy’s gaze finally lifted from the table and locked onto Robin’s. Robin opened her mouth but nothing came out. She thought about Barb every day, but there were some things that not even Steve knew. There were some things that were too painful to remember.

“Well?” asked Nancy, her face like stone.

Robin took in a trembling breath and leaned back into her seat.

She didn’t know what do to, what to say. Barely knew how to say it. Never mind after being put so firmly on the spot like that. Robin’s mind raced. How would Nancy react if she knew the truth? Had Barb told her anything? Obviously not, if this was the conversation they were having.

The longer Robin stayed uncharacteristically silent, contemplating her next move, the harder Nancy’s face got.

Hell, Robin didn’t even know what that next move was going to be.

Robin thought of us. Whatever came next, it had to be to protect us.

“Truth is, Nance…” Robin started, folding her arms on the table. “I thought she stood me up, and I wanted to get back at her,”

Robin hated herself for finally admitting it. Hated admitting that the reason she spent two days backbiting and badmouthing Barb, her Barb, was for something so shallow. She’d heard the cheerleaders talk before a game. She’d picked up a few things on how to make someone feel guilty. All the little one-liners to make someone stomach clench and their mood plummet. Those girls were masters of ruining someone’s day and Robin used every piece of overheard ammo she could. Robin wanted to hurt Barb like she’d hurt her. Or at least, the way Robin had thought she’d been hurt.

“You and…” Nancy’s eyes grew wide. “Oh,”

“Yeah, oh” said Robin with a sarcastic laugh. “We were supposed to go out the day after Steve’s party. Right after school we were going to catch a bus to Jackson and spent the whole night just… walking around somewhere new, I guess? We had tickets to a movie and everything, my dad drove me out the day before so I could buy them,”

“Oh�� Oh Robin,” sighed Nancy, putting a hand on Robin’s arm.

“She wasn’t in school that day, and I thought well maybe she skipped?” said Robin, her voice wobbling. “She never skipped but I didn’t want to think she was sick because then that would mean cancelling, you know?”

Robin quickly swiped a tear from under her eye with the edge of her sleeve.

“But then she wasn’t at the bus station either,” said Robin softly. “I didn’t even think about going by her house, her parents didn’t know about…me… I just went home instead. I think… I think if I had have gone there, that maybe I would have found out something was wrong sooner and not said the things I did,”

Nancy’s face had softened entirely. She was looking at Robin with wet eyes, trying to keep her bottom lip from pouting out.

“You didn’t know,” whispered Nancy. “It’s ok,”

“I swear, I swear I didn’t know,” said Robin.

“I know,” promised Nancy, squeezing Robin’s arm.

Their waitress appeared and dropped their plates between them. Nancy shuffled out of her side of the booth and pushed in beside Robin, grabbing her hand under the table to subtly lace their fingers together.

“I didn’t know about the two of you,” said Nancy quietly. “She never told me,”

“We never told anyone,” answered Robin. “I wish we did. If someone knew then I wouldn’t have been able to get away with trying to… bully her when she was already…”

“Gone,” said Nancy, finishing where Robin trailed off.

“I hate myself for it every day,” said Robin, clinging to Nancy’s hand. “Every single day I think I’d do anything if it meant I could take it back, and tell people how amazing she was instead,”

“She really was pretty amazing,” agreed Nancy.

Robin took a shaky breath.

“I… I don’t know if I can say this, you know, considering this, and all,” Robin squeezed Nancy’s hand for emphasis. “But… I really miss her, Nance. I think about her a lot,”

Nancy nodded.

“I do too,” she said. “And that’s ok,”

“It is?” asked Robin tentatively. “Some days it feels like I’m under water with how bad it feels,”

“It is,” said Nancy. “I get that way too sometimes. Thinking about how I could have stopped it,”

“You couldn’t-“

“You don’t need to do that,” said Nancy gently. “Thank you, but, you don’t,”

Robin nodded solemnly.

“We have each other now,” said Nancy. “We can be there for each other when it gets too much. I’ll keep your head above water if you do the same for me,”

“That sounds like a plan,” said Robin, feeling a small sense of relief.

“Good,” said Nancy. “Come on, don’t let your food go cold,”

Robin ate one-handed, the other still hanging on to Nancy’s. Thinking about Barb still made her world turn on it’s axis, but at least now Nancy Wheeler was there to keep her steady. She suddenly wasn’t alone with it anymore. They would face it together whenever they needed to.

They had each other.

Us.

Robin: Yes! Cheeseburgers?

Nancy: No, no, no. No. These are a crucial part of the reward system.

Steve: Well, why does she get to have one?

Nancy: All right, okay, this is how it's gonna work. Robin studies, she gets a burger.

Steve: What about me?

Nancy: Robin studies, you get a burger.

Steve: It's a reward system, huh?

Nancy: Mm-hmm.

Robin: What else do I get?

Nancy: Just the cheeseburgers.

Robin: Oh.

I need more Ronance pre-vecna fics,

Robin and Nancy dating before ‘86 and being partners at the library and the asylum and the creel house because it gave them time together,

Nancy coming into scoops in summer of ‘85 and they eventually get together after Nancy eats a lot of ice cream that summer (it wasn’t for the ice cream),

Anything, tending to wounds after vecna, or the mall, having a sleep over because Nancy wants to get to know the new member of the group, or because she doesn’t have many girl-friends -and it grows to something more-. Nancy having feelings and only sharing them because they end up alone at her house, or some place else, either to hide, clean wounds, or just because everyone went there after Vecna was defeated or not quite defeated but wounded.

Just pure fluff for the sake of fluff.

Someone please give me fic reccs that aren’t ronance tagged under a Steddie fic. pls!

Robin: Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out ab--

Nancy: Say no more.

Nancy: Here's a bunch of guns.

Robin: Nope. Different thing.

[homosexualbehaviors]

Ronance ask.

What do you think would have happened if Nancy was aired at Scoops Ahoy and became Robin's coworker there instead of Steve?

Hello! Thank you for your question, anon! I would like to apologize for such a late response, I have not been feeling the greatest and have been quite busy. I hope my answer to your question is adequate!

I assume you mean hired? That's okay though!

(Realistic answer)

I think they most definitely would have grown closer faster. I mean we saw how quickly the seemed to become friends in season 4. And that was over the span of only a few days. Imagine having to work along side someone daily for three months. By the time the Vecna stuff came around they would have been stuck at the hip.

Though, I think they both would have been cautious of each other at first, considering they're basically in different worlds. Robin thinks Nance is a priss and I'm sure Nance think's Robin's just some random band geek. But over time, and Robin's inevitabe rambling, they'd realize that despite their differences they quite enjoy eachothers company.

(Addition from my delusions)

It'd eventually get to the point they just can't get eachother out of their minds. The'd be genuinely excited to into work because it means they get to see eachother. One day though, Nancy asks Robin if she wants to hang out -without even thinking about it really, It just felt natural- after work. Rob agrees. And that starts weekly -then daily- hangouts, after work. Feelings eventually evolve from platonic, to something deeper. Until, during one of their basic afterwork hangouts in Nancy's room, Nancy kisses Robin. Robin's immediate reaction is to blurt out that she's a lesbian and proceeds to go on a ramble about how maybe this is something that girl *space* friends do, but with this new knoweldge of her preference, Nancy probably shouldn't do that. Nancy proceeds to look at her like she has three heads, calls her an idiot and kisses her again, before clairfying that she doesn't kiss other girls -or anyone for that matter- unless she's romantically interested in them. *Unsue life long realtionship of kissy smoochies and cute love :P*
