Summary
"That's—Nancy, that's where we broadcast—"
"I don't care." Nancy was already moving toward it, pulling Robin with her, and Robin went because apparently she would follow Nancy Wheeler anywhere, even into bad decisions.
OR: Nancy has a thing about guns. Robin has a thing about Nancy. The math does itself.

Something's Going On With Robin... by HerSweetMockingMouth
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
14 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Nancy can't stop watching Robin: the way she talks, laughs, fidgets, loves. But, more and more, how sad she is 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
“You don't have to hide it,” Nancy says. “You’re dating.” (It doesn't feel weird in her mouth, she tells herself). “You’re allowed to tell me about your girlfriend."
Robin bites her cheek and passes the bottle back and forth between her hands. “I know,” she says, small. “Guess I'm just not used to it, is all.”
“Well, consider this an exercise,” Nancy says. “Tell me now.”
She waits a long time for Robin to respond.
“I don’t really think she wants me.” The admission is barely a whisper.
“What do you mean?” Nancy wants to tell her, of course she does, how could anyone not want you?
Robin stares at her knees. “When we... mess around, she doesn't touch me.”

When the Mopping Gets Tough, the Tough Get Mopping by Azulatara
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
11 May 2025
Tags
Summary
As Vi methodically worked her way through empty corridors, she considered her options to deal with her current situation. 'The Caitlyn conundrum!', she snickered to herself.
She was weighing up the cost of setting up a duplicate academy when the distinctive click of heels on tile made her freeze. Mid-mop stroke. The rhythmic clicking echoed through the corridor as a familiar figure approached. Vi's heart rate quickened as she caught a glimpse of navy blue hair rounding the corner.
Vi briefly considered dumping the contents of the bucket on the ground and making a break for it. Those heels, insanely long legs and slippery floors were a perfect combination. At the very least it would buy her some time. The janitor imagined herself bounding away with all the poise of a graceful gazelle. Leaving the blue haired hunter in her soapy wake. Annoyingly, she then realised she would be the person responsible for cleaning up the resulting mess.
Or
Janitor Vi skips out on her one-night stand, who is way out of her league. She doesn't expect her to be introduced as Piltover Academy's new physics professor the next morning.

Miss Temptation, you kept me waitin' by StrangeBeautiful
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)

Summary
Call her a hopeless romantic, but Vi had always dreamed of her first time being with someone she was in love with, gazing into her girlfriend's eyes, all of that shit. But she's never been that lucky, and now she's a 25 year-old virgin who every girl thinks is some fuckboy top. She’s going to die one, at this rate.
Vi remembers herself, sliding two cold beers to a man with the worst bowl cut she’s ever seen. She watches as he walks over to a pretty blonde girl sitting at one of the booths, casually sliding his arm around her waist, and she kisses him on the cheek in response. Great, even bowl cuts can find love.
"Hello," a smooth, accented voice sounds out, and it takes Vi by surprise so much that she cracks her knuckles hard against the underside of the bar counter.

Summary
”This is Vi,” Powder speaks up before Vi gets a chance. “She’s my sister.”
“You think I’m your sister,” Vi corrects her. The kid rolls her eyes. Caitlyn looks almost like she’s frowning as her eyes dart between them, brow furrowed but her mouth is still very slightly curved upward; definitely a politician.“Well,” she says, “that’s certainly a development.”
When a runaway claiming to be family shows up at Vi’s doorstep, what should have been a simple task bringing the kid back ends up changing her life in ways she never expected.Series

Summary
Robin has a moment of confusion when she thinks she might have forgotten that it’s Halloween before she realises that the person standing before her —with eyes that look like all the graves have opened — is, in fact, Nancy Wheeler.
“Good lord Nancy,” she says without thinking, “you look terrible!”
“Hello Robin,” says Nancy, as though Robin is the last person in the whole world she wants to see.
—With her freshly minted double-first in modern languages from Oxford, Robin Buckley has her own plans for how she’s going to serve her country in wartime and none of them involve rotting in the rural backwater that is Hawkins-on-Lea.
These plans are scuppered when her very best friend Steve Harrington does something stupid and enlists, leaving her in charge of his farm. It’s all going about as well as can be expected when Nancy Wheeler turns up on the doorstep in the middle of the night, fresh from the fight: a little battered, a little broken and needing some help to put herself back together.

Summary
Vi rolled her eyes slightly, shrugging and still refusing to meet her sister’s gaze. “Right. So you find me a date that doesn’t know what I look like, I go out with her looking… less hot, and then if she sticks around that proves she likes me for my great personality.”
With a slightly screwed up expression that meant she was about to argue back, Caitlyn sat back in her seat and crossed her arms again, giving a little shrug.
“Fine. I’ll give it a shot. You set me up with a woman who doesn’t know who I am, and I’ll give it a fair try. See if my horrid personality doesn’t scare her away.”
Believing they keep attracting shallow dates, Vi and Caitlyn separately agree to go ‘undercover’ for their next one, hiding parts of themselves. When they’re unknowingly set up with each other, they both struggle between wanting to being authentic and wanting to stubbornly prove a point, as they’re forced to rely on their personalities to make the relationship work.
A romcom loosely inspired by ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’

not my fears, my limitations by thehaakun

07 Mar 2021

Summary
Claudine in person was an entirely different sight from her portrait; she absolutely radiated light like a summer sun with her smile, and her outfit — Maya had to remember to breathe — an all too revealing white lace shawl around her shoulders, accompanied by just as white lingerie, a bustier with intricate patterns of roses that gave a generous view of cleavage, and a matching garter belt and underwear that held up thigh high stockings.
Maya went full stupid in that second. “Oh,” was what she said.

Summary
Neighbours AU.
Vi gets a new neighbour—a rich English woman with a stick up her ass who seems determined to make her life a living hell.
Vi makes it her mission to get Caitlyn to move back out as quickly as she moved in. Only, she’s hot. Really hot. And Vi kind of likes it when they fight.
Thin walls soon reveal that there’s more to Caitlyn than meets the eye and Vi’s initial irritation turns to curiosity, then something a lot harder to ignore.
To complicate matters and her feelings further, Caitlyn's getting married.

Summary
Vi was surprised, nay, absolutely fucking floored when Caitlyn looked her in the eye and offered, “If you strike out one night, you can just use me as a backup. I won’t tell.”
Vi blinked at Caitlyn, the words ringing in her ears as she shook her head, clearly hearing things. “You mean like, to fake a hookup? I don’t think they’ll fall for that.”
Caitlyn frowned, taking a sip of her coffee. “Why would we fake it?”
Ekko challenges Vi to completing a perfect week, in which she has to sleep with the first woman she flirts with every night for a week straight. Cait offers to help her out if things go south. (Things go south.)
Or, a 5 + 1 fic in which Cait gets jealous five times, and then turns the tables to make Vi jealous once.

“T-Take your damn pictures, then,” she snapped. Her response lacked force, her tone suddenly high-pitched.
Caitlyn raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. She shook her head disapprovingly and reached for Vi's pants. She pulled them down until they were just below Vi's thighs, which was worse than if she had pulled them all the way down. The stain on the boxers was obvious.
“Oh?” Caitlyn scoffed, bringing a finger to that spot. She traced Vi's shape across the damp fabric. “A lot of bravado for someone in this state.”
