Summary
- BEHIND THE SCENES -
Up-and-coming actress Nancy Wheeler just got an amazing opportunity to work on a movie that's expected to be a hit.
She's only 25 and already has a reputation of "the perfect girl". Doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, wears dresses, and, most importantly, straight as a line.
She has all intention of keeping that front going, that is, until a fellow new face in the acting world, Robin Buckley, changes everything for her.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler is recently a single woman, but neither of her exes will leave her alone. She just wants to focus on her schoolwork and studying to get into Emory college. She decides to clear her head one night by renting a movie at the local video rental store when she meets Robin officially for the first time. A girl can always have another friend, right? And that friend wouldn't mind helping out by pretending to date the other so as to get the boys off her back, right? So Nancy thought anyways, but little does she know her own heart has a secret she's not aware of yet.
Robin Buckley is just trying to get through high school in one piece. Hanging out with her best friend Eddie and playing dnd with the kids she's content in not ever getting over her long time crush on Nancy Wheeler. Fortunately for her, she just might not have to. Getting to kiss your forever crush with no strings attached, now that just might be something she'd be crazy to pass up.
Takes place somewhere after season one, if Robin was introduced to the story much sooner. Kind of moved some plot lines around to make the story better.

Summary
In the manicured suburbs of Hawkins, Nancy Wheeler is the gold standard. She's the girl with the perfect grades, the perfect family, and a future that looks as bright as the neon lights of the Starcourt Mall. She likes her life predictable, her skirts pressed, and her ice cream order exactly the same: two scoops of vanilla with three cherries on top.
Robin Buckley is the girl the town forgot to look at. A newcomer with a heavy secret and a heavier home life, Robin spends her days hiding behind a sarcastic smirk at Scoops Ahoy and her nights trying to drown out her mother's voice with cheap cigarettes and bad decisions. She knows she doesn't fit into Nancy's world of pearls and polite smiles.
But when a chance encounter in a dark park leaves Robin at her lowest point, it's Nancy, the girl who has everything to lose, who reaches out a hand.

Summary
Nancy had been working at the lame little ice cream place at the mall for barely a week. She never held any hopes that it would be a gratifying or personally stimulating job, let alone that it would help her on her dreams of dedicating herself to journalism full time until she was successful enough to get out of Hawkins and even Indiana someday. However, she’d never expected it to be as bad as it was.
Long story short, Nancy couldn’t wait to get rid of her Scoops Ahoy coworker, Robin Buckley.

Something's Going On With Robin... by HerSweetMockingMouth
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Nancy can't stop watching Robin: the way she talks, laughs, fidgets, loves. But, more and more, how sad she was too. Nancy’s not sure why she cares so damn much about finally understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but she’s accepted the goal all the same. And Nancy was nothing if not goal-oriented.
Robin knows she shouldn’t think this way. That she should “count her blessings”, and “love herself”, and rah-rah-rah. I mean, yes, so much of her life is beautiful, and she knows that! But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel like she’s the one that people would call a monster. And after all this time… well, words begin to stick.
—
AKA: Robin deals with being gay in the 80s, and Nancy learns that being a hero means more than just killing monsters.
Featuring: curious eyes, a loss of hope, surprising allies, an Indianapolis gay club, summer heat waves (in more ways than one), a rewritten season five, and the origin story of a life-changing love.

Summary
Nancy realizes too late what the complicated things she had been feeling truly mean as she sits in the hospital room and suffers from strange and upsetting nightmares. Robin navigates a dark past, and the group tries to find where Vecna is hiding and stop him before one of their own is lost.
or
What if it wasn't Max who ended up in a coma following the battle with Vecna?
Slightly reworked Stranger Things 4 and continued into post-Vol 2
**
"Robin opened her eyes and was blinded by the overexposed look of the world around her. This wasn’t right. This wasn’t the dark world she was falling through moments ago. This was different, familiar yet strange, like trying to remember the details of a dream after waking. Robin tried hard not to remember her dreams, though. She felt something in her hand and looked down to see a folded piece of paper, a note. The scene filled in around her, walls with stripes of colour, tiled floor, her dented locker on the right, students and teachers making their way through the hallway. She squeezed the paper in her hand and tried to make it disappear. She knew this day well, knew where it led, and cursed herself for ever being so stupid."

Summary
Robin Buckley should really be careful with chemical reactions. What do people say again? That love is chemical reaction? Ugh, right. Robin doesn’t believe in this shit, because she knows she’ll never get to live true love.
Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed. Even old friendships from high school, even past judgements. Even the feelings Nancy thinks are just a mild irritation towards that weird girl who dropped sulfuric acid on her pure cotton sweater. It can’t be love, can it? Just a very addictive dopamine surge every time Robin touches her hand. That’s all.
In which, Nancy craves freedom, Robin hates birds, and Steve deserves a beer.

Summary
Robin Buckley’s life has never been particularly exciting, but she does find that lately, it’s full of surprises.
She’s surprised at how easy it is to excel in all of her senior-level classes. She’s surprised at how much fun she’s having with her best friend at their grating yet tolerable job. Hell, she’s surprised that Steve Harrington’s her best friend in the first place.
And she’s never liked surprises, but these are the good kind of surprises.
The good kind, that is, until she finds herself in a place she never imagined she’d be: head-over-heels for her best friend’s ex-girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler.
But the biggest surprise of all may be how far Robin is willing to go to protect all three of them from the havoc that her two-faced affection would wreak if anyone was able to see it.
(Or: in an Upside-Down free AU, Robin Buckley and Eddie Munson run the gamut on the human emotional spectrum during their senior year at Hawkins High in a little over a hundred thousand words)

Summary
Looks, money, fame, and talent. She was head cheerleader, she sat at the far left corner of the classroom in Chloe’s chemistry class, and she was hot. Therefore, Chloe was very familiar with the girl.
Alright, some girls can hate her for it. The boys drool over it, and Chloe - well, Chloe could care less.
She’s rather focused on football and chooses not to act on raging hormones. Despite the fact that she’s may have thought about Rachel. Once, twice, or more.
