    Summary

    Nancy Wheeler is good at noticing things. Patterns, inconsistencies, the small changes people hope no one will see.
    So, when Robin Buckley starts jumping away from her, flinching, and apologizing far more than she ever did before, Nancy notices every time.

    OR, an angsty 5+1 with hurt/comfort where Nancy's observation skills may be excellent, but that doesn't always mean she gets the deduction right 100% of the time.

    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

    What happened to Susan during the series?
    Upfront, I was pretty pissed as a child and a young adult and now an adult with how Susan was treated. You might be able to tell from the story but I have some first-hand experience with being told I don't get to come home. This is told from that perspective.
