Summary
Unlike Robin, Nancy has been raised in the wizarding world, surrounded by stories and tales of Hogwarts and the years that her parents had there - she knows exactly what Slytherin is about, and what it means that she has been sorted there. Unbidden and uninvited, a hazy memory of her older cousin flutters through her brain, an image of him whispering to her in hushed tones about how many dark wizards and witches came from Slytherin, about how everyone from that house that he had ever met was an absolute bastard who was only out for themselves. Nancy thinks of Mike, of Holly. Wonders what it means about her that she would still do anything for them even now. Not a Slytherin, not a Wheeler.
She’s not sure if she wants to know where that leaves her.
--
(or) Nancy gets sorted into Slytherin. Seven years later, she understands why.

Summary
“But do you remember what I told you in your room later that night?”
Robin’s smile faltered momentarily, her gaze shifting to the ceiling. She stayed quiet long enough for Nancy to wonder if she hadn’t heard her, but then Robin spoke, her voice soft. “Yeah… I remember.”
Nancy’s heart thudded in her chest. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was the weeks of avoidance catching up to her, but she decided to be bold for once. “I know I’m not sober,” she began carefully, her words measured, “but you’re not either. So… do you think we could… kiss now?”
or
Nancy did her best to try and make it work with Robin, but she gives it all up.

Summary
Nancy stared at her appearance in the mirror right in front of her. Her reflection stared right back at her. She could feel the burning in her eyes.
As usual, the bathroom was messy, which was the result of sharing a bathroom with two other people. Her parents had their restroom, but it didn’t mean it was nicer.
Nancy ran her hair through her greasy curls and poked at her smudged makeup as she thought of what had just happened—how her entire life had turned around over one singular event.
She thought the Upside Down was the worst thing to have ever happened but somehow it was topped off with the disappearance of two people she needed.

Ted and Karen Wheeler die in the summer of '85 and now Nancy has to navigate taking care of her siblings (and their complex feelings). -

Summary
“You know, I used to think that she had left Hawkins when she went missing. I never understood how anyone can spend their entire life stuck in the same shitty town. Hell, part of me still believes that she’s out there somewhere living her best life away from this hell hole. I just don’t want to believe that all it took was a stupid fucking chemical leak.”
Nancy’s eyes snapped up, the sudden spike of her nerves twisting her stomach into knots.
“What did you say?”
Robin tilted her head in confusion, suddenly reminding Nancy a lot like a puppy.
“She died from a chemical leak, right? That’s what they told everyone.”
Nancy dropped the tape onto her bed, moving so her body was facing Robin on the bed. Robin looked at her expectantly, the smallest traces of fear hidden in her eyes. All Nancy could muster was a headshake.
Or, Robin doesn't know what really happened to Barb and Nancy has to be the one to tell her

Summary
Without a little agony, none of us would bother to learn a thing. Character is not made of sunshine and roses. Like steel, it is forged in fire, between the hammer and the anvil.
Or, in one of the infinite possible alternative versions of the same world, everyone's story looks a little different as a result of several characters' paths colliding in a small but strange town like Hawkins.
Or, Steve Harrington discovers he's not, in fact, bullshit. Nancy Wheeler decides what kind of woman she'd like to be. Jonathan Byers realizes he's more than the sum of his responsibilities as an elder sibling. Jim Hopper gets more out of the parenthood experience than he'd ever expected and Joyce finds peace within chaos. The Party learns the passage into adulthood may be more troublesome than end-of-world-level threats. Billy Hargrove crosses paths with a harbinger ready to judge him for his sins, and in the process, he must face his abyss before there's any hope for his redemption. Elizabeth Stirling learns that a soldier needs to look back to remember what they're moving forward for.
And they'll all understand that there's always a bigger threat to worry about.
Sequel is now up.

Summary
"It was on one of these patrols, the four of them trudging along through the woods around the Creel house, that they encountered the first demogorgon any of them had seen since the gates had opened. All of them stopped in their tracks. Nancy put her hand on her gun. The demogorgon whipped its head around, abandoning the carcass it had previously been devouring. It looked at Will. It still amazed Nancy how it could hold a gaze so fiercely with no eyes. Will was completely frozen to the spot. Nancy could see the fear coming off of him in waves. The demogorgon made a throaty noise, starting as a low rumble and gradually reaching a higher pitch. Curious. Deadly. It would lunge for Will at any second. Nancy did the only thing she could think to do.
She took off running."
OR
Nancy gets a debilitating injury running from a demogorgon and Robin takes care of her while she loses her mind about being useless.

Summary
Immediately it's like he is back to three days ago. Finding her shaking, and bleeding. But this is different. He doesn’t see her torn up anywhere. The blood is on her mouth and hands, and she’s throwing up chunks of more red.
She finally looks up at him while he’s frozen in the bathroom doorway. And that’s when he notices her nails are longer, sharper than normal.
“I don’t know what’s happening to me…” And more red spills out from her lips.
---They say High School changes you, transforms you into something completely different. But Mike and Nancy are pretty sure no one had meant it quite like this.

Summary
“I love you.”
Robin keeps breathing. It’s not loud, but it’s so much more than what she’s grown used to. Her apartment has been mostly silent since May. It’s been empty since Mike stormed in a few weeks ago, the magazine with Robin’s interview rolled up in his hand, only to find her sitting at the kitchen table with tears in her eyes, already reading it.
Nancy has been so alone for so long—was ready to be alone forever in penance for what she did. But she’s not. Robin is here, somehow, despite all the times Nancy pushed her away or let her go.

Summary
“Are you okay?” Nancy asks, shifting a little closer so their arms are pressed together in one continuous line of warmth. Mike flinches a little, like he’s surprised at the contact, but he doesn’t pull away, doesn’t retreat any further into himself where she can’t ever hope to follow.
Instead of answering her question, Mike asks, “Do you— are you ever angry?” Before she can answer, he continues, voice low and sort of strained, “I mean, like, really fucking angry. Whether you want to be or not.”
"About what?"
And Mike, still not looking at her, says, “Everything.”
(or, mike and nancy over five sleepless nights.)

Summary
“I can’t get ahold of Mom. I just want to get ahold of Mom. and I just want fucking scream at the top of my lungs but for some reason, I can’t. I feel like I can’t talk above this tone.”
She took a shaky breath as she ran her hands down her face, annoyed by the snot and tears but also so tired she couldn’t give a fuck about it.
“I’m going to kill that fucking shark.”
That did shock the man into a reaction, his eyebrows raised slightly above his brow as he let go of a long breath.
“No one’s killing any sharks kid, as for your mom here, use my phone. Try her number again. It’ll come up as the police so she’ll probably answer fast. I’m gonna go collect two more reports and then I’ll get back to you ok?”
He handed her the phone, and after she took it he rested his hand on her shoulder, giving her a soft squeeze,
“Hang in there kid, it’s gonna be ok.”
She stared at the Cop's phone, her blotchy face in the reflection.
It must be so easy to assume everything is going to be ok when it isn't your world that's been turned on it's head on a random afternoon.
