Summary
Nancy Wheeler was supposed to be in Hawkins Post, not in Scoops Ahoy with her new, annoying co-worker, Robin Buckley, trying not to let her get to her and chasing around hypothetical Russians. On top of that, she was debating whether she even wanted to be with Jonathan. Overall, she wasn't having the best time so far this summer.
or, Nancy works at Scoops with Robin instead of Steve and this is how id imagine it plays out but make it a bit gayer

Summary
With everything that happened to them it was no surprise that they handled things slightly differently.
Nancy needed control. She needed to make sure she knew the outcomes of what was happening around her. From her work life to her private life.
And Jonathan needed the opposite. He needed out of his own head and to relax in the headspace only Nancy could get him too. The only person who gave him the high that weed had.
He quit the habit except the occasional indulgence. Nancy hated the smell but she wouldn’t try and convince him to get rid of it forever. He needed to cope somehow.
So Nancy tried to help keep him grounded but also float. It was helpful for her too because she could let everything else melt away except him.
Tonight was all about them. Just Nancy and Jonathan and nothing else in the world.
~~~
Nancy and Jonathan have a scene to help reduce the man’s anxiety. It’s just them and their love for one another.Only posted on a03 and all rights to the duffer brothers.

Summary
Robin Buckley did not hate Nancy Wheeler. She was indifferent towards her.
That was, of course until Robin found her crying in the bathroom of a party beneath the sink, her smudged mascara like ink, spilling from the plume of her eyelashes and down into the dry paper of her cheeks.
And she started to wonder if there was more than the perfect facade of Nancy Wheeler

Summary
It is March 1986, eight months since Starcourt. Nancy has buried herself in her work to avoid acknowledging her fading friendship with Jonathan and Robin is hopelessly in love with a girl from band who she can barely build up the courage to talk to. One cannot let go of the past and the other fears an uncertain future.
When students (literally) start dropping dead, they find themselves brought together, still practically strangers. Their personalities clash, Nancy being so serious and Robin being so... Robin, irritation and confusion defining their first moments, but from that tension a spark is born. As the days drag on and they bounce around from Hawkins to Pennhurst to the Upside-Down, they come to find that they relieve the weight of each other's burdens, or maybe they make them heavier; in times like these, another person loved can just as easily be another person lost. Maybe it's best that they keep it all in, for each other's sake and their own.
But the Upside-Down does not wait for teen romance to sort itself out. There is still a killer to catch, a killer who can reach across the dimensional veil and slaughter troubled youths with his mind, and the kids in Hawkins are all on their own this time.

Summary
Sir Nancy Wheeler had long since accepted her fate. For the rest of her life, she was set to serve by Prince Steve Harrington’s side, sworn as his loyal knight. Her desires must be set aside; her duty and honor always taking first place.
Prince Steve Harrington knows his place in this world. His days of freedom are over, his future a bargaining chip for political power. All he can do is hope that he can find a kind of peace between himself and the woman he is being forced to marry.
But the Kingdom of Hawkins isn’t what it seems. Something dark lies beneath its dusty surface, and when Nancy discovers that Steve’s betrothed has taken it upon herself to investigate a strange willow deep in the forest, it is simply her duty as Steve’s knight to ensure that her future queen isn’t harmed.
Meanwhile, Steve has decided that the way to have a happy life is to make peace with his betrothed’s brothers, soon finding that charming the eldest prince will take nothing short of a miracle. And when he starts paying closer attention to the odd behavior of the youngest, he discovers that nothing in Hawkins is as simple as he thought.
Or; Hawkins is under siege. The royal betrothal is really the least of their worries.

Summary
Surprisingly, the fourth pancake turns out pretty well. It doesn’t stick to the pan, nor does it sink in the middle. It browns well, looks nice and fluffy.
Triumphantly, Nancy uses the pan to flip the pancake—
—and the pancake smacks into the ceiling.
Both of them stare up at it, craning their necks.
“I don’t think it’s supposed to touch the ceiling,” Josie says.
“No,” Nancy says, “I don’t think it is.”
Nancy and Josie spend the day together when Robin's too sick for the date she'd arranged.

Summary
What is she even doing here? Urgency and trauma brought them together, glued them by the hip — does it make any sense to hold onto that now that everything is back to normal? Back to bullshit? Back to Steve shot-gunning beers with his pocket knife like he's some tough shit, to Chrissy applauding him and throwing her arms around his neck, to Jon, Argyle and Robin singing like morons and being super close but never letting Nancy in because, you know Nance, sometimes we need to spend time between us queer people, so maybe next time?

Summary
"getting ourselves into all these messes," steve eventually says, rubbing at his arm. "what if the circumstances were, like, not the brink of dying? what if we were just normal teenagers?”
nancy laughs and lays her head on his shoulder, the sunlight dancing patterns through the leaves. she knows he’s talking about their friends, about hawkins, but it’s nice to pretend like he’s referring only to the two of them.
"then it wouldn't be us."

Summary
Nancy Wheeler hasn't been sleeping well. After her encounter with Vecna, the other events that she thought hadn't bothered her in the past keep coming back to haunt her. As Hawkins tries to find its new normal with the mysterious fault lines, she finds that she's seeing a lot of things in a new light. And maybe some people too.
Or a Ronance slowburn where Nancy and Robin grow closer, catch feelings, and get to happily be girlfriends. A lot of emphasis on Nancy's unresolved trauma and some hurt/comfort there. Fic takes place between seasons 4 and 5 so there is some worldbuilding liberties. Currently have 16 chapters planned out.
