Summary
Robin Buckley’s life has never been particularly exciting, but she does find that lately, it’s full of surprises.
She’s surprised at how easy it is to excel in all of her senior-level classes. She’s surprised at how much fun she’s having with her best friend at their grating yet tolerable job. Hell, she’s surprised that Steve Harrington’s her best friend in the first place.
And she’s never liked surprises, but these are the good kind of surprises.
The good kind, that is, until she finds herself in a place she never imagined she’d be: head-over-heels for her best friend’s ex-girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler.
But the biggest surprise of all may be how far Robin is willing to go to protect all three of them from the havoc that her two-faced affection would wreak if anyone was able to see it.
(Or: in an Upside-Down free AU, Robin Buckley and Eddie Munson run the gamut on the human emotional spectrum during their senior year at Hawkins High in a little over a hundred thousand words)

Summary
The words tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop them. "Y' wanna know a secret?" Nancy giggled, her eyes aching dully. She knew she should stop talking, at this point, but it was as if she couldn't move her own mouth. "As to why I broke up with Jonathan, I mean?"
"Why is that?" Robin asked through her own giggles. Once one of them started, neither of them could stop. Despite the laughter, though, she seemed genuinely curious, laying her cheek deeper into her palm, her lips stretching upwards to meet it.
"I kinda wished he was a girl." And then Nancy burst out in full-body cackles, like it was the funniest thing she'd ever heard herself say. As if she was ridiculous. A secret she had kept bottled up for years, out in the daylight so suddenly. Almost involuntarily. She couldn't help but laugh, and so she did, until tears began to well up in her eyes.
When she finally caught her breath, she realized this time, Robin wasn't giggling back at her.
