Maybe I'm too busy being yours (to fall for someone new) by Knight_of_darkness

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.

My take on, what if Robin dove in the water before Steve because she wanted Nancy to look at her the way she looked at Steve😌😌
ALSO Eddie totally ships Ronance!

Summary
And she’s drifting off now, vaguely aware of the credits rolling and Robin saying something to her, maybe asking her something that has the word sleep in it. But she can’t register any of it, mumbling some kind of nonsense in response. Then, there’s something warm covering her—a blanket, she thinks—and a soft hand pushing the hair out of her face, whispering something sweet.
And she thinks—
Oh.
or: four times nancy realizes she likes robin and the one time she does something about it.

Summary
The pull, the need, the want consumed her mind, and it’s honestly a miracle that she hasn’t kissed Robin's teeth in yet. It was her self-control, Nancy argued, but like always, it never seemed to work around Robin.
The mere seconds that their lips weren’t touching felt excruciating, and Nancy swore that Robin was doing it deliberately, as payback for every scowl she had ever given her.
But finally, she broke, and with that, so did Robin.
(or, after confessing their feelings, Robin and Nancy make out at lover’s lake).

Summary
“What are you – Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Like what?”
Robin swallows. Licks her lips.
“I don’t know,” Robin says, because she doesn’t.
“Yes,” Nancy says, entirely too confident. “You do.”
---------
Robin and Nancy hang out a lot. They're friends. It's not dating. It's not. Robin's certain. Until she... isn't.

Summary
Her hand flies up to her cheek and she presses her fingers against her warm skin. It’s not often that Nancy feels like this. Only when she saw Steve with his shirt off for the first time all those years ago, or when Jonathan showed her how he printed photos, or—
But this was Robin, and Robin was her friend, and Robin was—
Shit. Not again.
Or
An entirely too long one shot of Nancy falling in love with Robin, and Robin falling in love too.

Summary
Nancy’s first mistake was letting Steve handle the roommate ad.
ROOMMATE WANTED. Shared apartment in downtown Hawkins, with your own bedroom and large closet. Ideal candidate is fun, neat, and employed. Blondie fan a plus.
It ended with Steve’s name and number. All good, at least on the surface. In the days after it ran, she repeatedly asked Steve if they’d had any bites, but he waved her off. It was a week before he finally told her to clear her Sunday, because she’d be holding interviews and tours at the apartment.
She didn’t realize her second mistake until later, which was not asking Steve for a list of names.
In the end, she had only herself to blame when she opened the door at the first knock of the day, a polite smile already in place, and came face to face with the last person on Earth she’d expected to see back in Hawkins.
OR: Nancy needs a roommate; Robin needs a place to crash. The only problem is that Nancy's been secretly in love with Robin for years.

Summary
Robin had never really imagined Nancy as a clingy person, but she had no other explanation and, really, no one else to ask about it. It felt a little bit weird to ask Steve his opinion, so she avoided the topic like the plague whenever he tried to bring it up, and, well, it’s not like it was a problem…
At least, not exactly.

Summary
Robin feels a tug in her chest, a soft and fond sort of thing, and she thinks that it would be quite dangerous to fall for Nancy, but the feeling settles over Robin all the same and it's not an all-consuming sort of thing, really.
Rather, it's gentle in nature, winds its way around her consciousness until she realizes, sitting here in the musty, cluttered little sound booth of the radio station, that she could fall in love with Nancy Wheeler.

Summary
Robin’s brain is lagging a full two seconds behind the moment.
Nancy Wheeler has her by the jacket, far closer than any university handbook would approve of. Robin’s hands hover awkwardly at her sides as she tries to piece together how they got here.
“Wha—Nancy, what are you doing?” she manages.
or, Robin thinks swiping left on Nancy Wheeler is the professional thing to do. Nancy, who has been dropping hints for an entire semester, beg to differ.

Summary
Nancy stared at her, her expression shifted. Not angry. Not hurt. Focused. Eerily similar to her I'm gonna commit a crime face. “Robin.”
“Nancy?” Robin tilted her head. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Nancy stepped closer. Close enough that Robin’s back brushed the edge of the desk behind her. Then her hands fell to Robin's hips, keeping her in place,
“Robin Buckley,” Nancy deliberately tipped her head up so their gazes were locked, “I underestimated how catastrophically bad you're at social cues.”
Robin huffed. “Rude, I told you I was.”
“Look at me.”
Robin did. She always did when Nancy asked like that.
“We have been dating,” Nancy said slowly, enunciating every word, “for nearly six months.”
Or,
Steve is needling Robin into finally landing herself a girlfriend—both unaware she already has one at home.

Summary
Robin found the idea of soulmates incredibly comforting. The only thing she had to do was look fo the person the universe had assigned to her and she wouldn't have to risk her neck trying to flirt with any girl who may or may not be a lesbian.
The same way, the idea of soulmates would get her incredibly anxious. That was the reason she hadn't written yet.
