Summary
El never could’ve imagined that Max would be on what looked like her deathbed. She was pale, eyes sunken, and worst of all, broken. She looked almost lifeless, if it wasn’t for the constant beeping of the heart monitor in her ear reminding her that she’s still here.
The monitor was almost comforting, a reminder that her efforts worked. She didn’t completely fail Max.
———
El feels as if everything is her fault, for not writing to Max and keeping their friendship alive.
(I always wonder if she regretted not writing to Max in Cali, or if El ever learned why Max turned into the perfect target for Henry) -

Something's Going On With Robin... by HerSweetMockingMouth

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
“When I asked if you were sure,” Robin added, softer, “I meant the breaking-and-entering part. The fence. The maybe-getting-arrested part. The my college applications die in prison part.”
“Oh.” Nancy’s brows knit, then smoothed. Her chin lifted a fraction, a sly smile tugging at her lips. “We won’t get caught. No cameras. No alarms on the back door. And the fence—”
Robin was already moving. She dropped to one knee in front of it and laced her fingers together, bracing her thigh like a human step stool. “Your chariot awaits, your Highness.”
Nancy stared at her, then stepped closer. One hand settled on Robin’s shoulder. Her fingers slid upward—adjusting Robin’s collar, the back of them brushing the hollow of her throat. Robin shivered.
“Are you sure?” Nancy asked quietly, worrying her bottom lip.
“Dead serious,” Robin swallowed. “Though I’d really prefer if no interdimensional monsters showed up to prove it.”
Or,
Robin met her soulmate somewhere between Russian torture and an interdimensional monster — and now she has absolutely no recollection of it. Fortunately, Steve Harrington has decided they’re going to find them anyway. Even if the answer might be right in front of her.
