#ronance nation: all rise!

[duskdrawings]

Okay so Ronance has officially summoned the fanfiction writer in me (after a year or so of not writing anything) and now my brain has just become a vessel for Ronance prompts to bounce around in and I have a bunch of ideas that I'm hoping to write for them so I just wanted to compile a list in case anyone was interested or had any ideas/suggestions! These aren't all fully finished ideas yet but I'm currently giving them plenty of thought (as I'm finding myself unable to think of much else besides these two 😂)

Fics will be mostly Ronance centric, possibly with side ships in a few but definitely with Ronance as the main focus/main ship.

Band AU:

•Could either be set in modern times or in the actual years of ST, I've not fully decided.

•Either one large multi-chapter fic or lots of random one chapter fics inside a series.

• The band starting out being a duo consisting of Steve and Robin who were messing about and decided to start a band (And they want to impress Eddie and Nancy).

•Stuck between two ideas: one idea involves Eddie and Nancy eventually joining the band OR the other idea has them just becoming their biggest fans and always cheering them on and watching them practice and things like that and Eddie could still be in his own band whilst Nancy is studying into journalism and could write articles on the band's performances?

-If the fruity four were in the band together:

Eddie: Lead Guitar (pretty obvious choice really 😂)

Nancy: Bass (I feel like Nancy could rock a bass). And possibly keyboard if it's part of the song.

Robin: Main vocals and rhythm guitar? And bits of brass if the song includes it because of her band kid background. (I recently heard Maya Hawke's song 'Thérèse' and just love the idea of Robin singing. And Robin starts out as the main guitarist before Eddie joins).

Steve: Drums? (I just like the idea of Steve on the drums).

(Could potentially swap Robin and Nancy's rhythm guitar and bass around as I'm not fully sure about those yet).

They could all do vocals on different songs as I feel like they would all have amazing voices but Robin acts as the main vocalist. They play all sorts of genres to suit each other's tastes. Steve and Robin writes songs for Eddie and Nancy when they are just a duo.

•Main ship would be Ronance and a bit of Steddie

•A little bit of jealousy flares up when Nancy/Eddie see Steve and Robin with fans or Robin with Vickie. I just love the idea of Nancy being jealous and Robin calming her down when she finds out but being touched that Nancy was getting jealous over her.

---

Modern AU:

•Probably lots of random one-chapter fics set in modern times where the gang are just vibing and being gay.

•One where Robin is an avid gamer and likes it when Nancy joins in and plays with her. Especially with Mario Kart. Robin usually wins but Nancy doesn't mind as she enjoys seeing Robin being all happy and celebrating - but she secretly wants to beat her at something so she trains at a game and then smugly beats her.

•One where the whole gang go to Pride (because let's face it, Hawkins is a whole entire fruit fest. And the ones that are straight are huge allies and come by to support their friends) This fic will probably be less specifically Ronance centric so I can write for all the characters but they'll definitely still be together and being cute. The people who are more knowledgeable on all identities/sexualities teach the ones who know less/are questioning.

Not fully set on everyone's labels yet but here's what I've got so far:

Robin: Lesbian (canon)

Nancy: Bisexual or Lesbian (she gives me HUGE struggling with comphet vibes)

Steve: Bisexual with female lean

Eddie: Gay

Jonathan: Pansexual? Nonbinary? (There's just something about Nonbinary Jonathan that makes my heart happy) Questioning?

Argyle: Pansexual or just doesn't use labels but is attracted regardless of gender

El: Lesbian? Asexual? Pansexual? Questioning? (I have way too many thoughts on El 😂)

Mike: Bisexual or Straight??

Will: Gay (pretty much canon at this point)

Max: Bisexual

Lucas: Straight

Dustin: Bisexual or Straight or Questioning???

Hopper: Straight

Joyce: Straight?? (Joyce would make a killer lesbian, I just know it but I'll probably just say she's straight 😂)

Murray: Gay (this matchmaking king totally likes dudes)

Some are working out their pronouns.

Possible ships: Ronance, Steddie, Jargyle, Jopper, Byler and either Elmax or Lumax and possible mentions of Duzie. (Definitely Ronance though).

Coffeeshop or Diner or Ice-cream Parlour AU:

•A true classic where one of them works at either a coffee shop, diner or ice-cream parlour and the other is a customer (because you can't beat the classics!)

•Most likely set in the same years as ST is but just without all the monsters and Upside Down stuff

•Robin will most likely be the one who works and Nancy will be the customer.

•Nancy is a regular at this place but keeps finding excuses to go back after Robin starts working there because she likes Robin. Even takes friends there to try and see what they think of her.

---

Robin getting trapped in the vines:

•One chapter, just something short and self-indulgent as I always wished it was just Robin who got caught so we could see how Nancy and Steve reacted to almost losing her.

•Focuses on Robin, Nancy and Steve. But Robin is the only one to get trapped in the vines.

•Gets rid of that conversation between Steve and Nancy about him wanting Nancy to be the mother of his six lil nuggets because no.

•Basically a rewrite of some of the scenes in season 4 episode 9.

---

Graduation fic:

•One chapter

•Most likely angsty unrequited love but part of me just wants to make our girls get together in everything so I'll see how much gay stuff I can throw in for them both.

•Set in a graduation after-party in the school gym after the events of season 4 - except Eddie is alive and Vecna is dead and defeated and Hawkins is saved. And for all intensive purposes, we're just saying that everyone is graduating at the same time and is in the same year.

•Characters involved are: Robin, Nancy, Steve, Eddie and Jonathan.

•Everyone has a partner/clearly soon will be with someone except Robin and Robin is pining for Nancy.

•Nancy either single or with Jonathan?

•Steve possibly with Eddie?

---

Nancy figures out she likes girls:

•Maybe one chapter or perhaps a few chapters?

•Basically Nancy is having a huge gay crisis and doesn't know what to do and goes to Robin about it and Robin helps her figure herself out.

•A very jokey and light-hearted fic.

•Nancy either bi or lesbian (who suffered with major comphet) but either way, Nancy is a total mess for women. Robin Buckley in particular.

•Completely Ronance centric

---

Dates:

•Several one-chapter fics of Ronance basically just going on dates and being cute and gay

•Unsure whether to make modern or set in the past

-Cinema (Robin getting really invested in the film and whispering little facts and observations to Nancy throughout, they secretly hold hands during tense parts, Nancy finds herself staring at Robin lots and missing parts of the film).

-Sleepover (Them giggling together under the covers, one of them staring at the other whilst they sleep, them sharing a bed and keeping each other safe and warm and cosy and warding off any nightmares. Also I headcanon that Robin hasn't really been over to anyone's house since she was really young so she's really flattered when Nancy invites her over).

-Buying presents for each other (they both want to get each other something special and wrack their brains for the perfect gift and they just think about how much they love each other and all the things they love about them. Super cute and fluffy and soft girlfriends).

-cafe/coffee shop (cute lesbians sharing sweet treats!)

-Fun fair (Robin wanting to be tough and strong for Nancy and win her gf a prize and Nancy teasing Robin as she continues to fail but she makes it better by giving Robin a kiss)

---

Vampire AU:

•Robin being turned into a vampire. Either she gets ambushed by a random vampire one night or I'm wondering whether to make her get close to another character (possibly Vickie or someone completely different) and it's because of them that she gets turned. Then the fics/fic involves Robin navigating being a vampire and possibly trying to look for a cure? With the gang finding out and being supportive, Nancy being the most protective of all.

•Multiple one chapter fics in a series or a big multi-chapter fic.

•One involves Nancy finding out. Robin tried to hide it from her to keep her safe but Nancy gets suspicious and is either with Robin when she turns or follows Robin and sees her turn/get into a fight or confronts her.

•One could involve Nancy caring for Robin after something goes wrong. (I'm a sucker for some good hurt/comfort) Robin is initially scared of being around the gang because she doesn't want to hurt them so Nancy.

•Robin saves Nancy from being hurt by other vampires, she's hella protective of her gf and that causes her to get braver when other vampires cause trouble.

•Robin would definitely want to be a "vegetarian vampire" and not feed on humans but gets forced to at one point and causes her to have a big crisis.

•Ronance centric (possibly with a few side ships?)

Some of these are only loose ideas and may alter slightly during the writing stage. If anyone has any suggestions or more prompts/ideas that they'd really like to see or just wants to discuss Ronance/Stranger Things then don't be afraid to hit me up! I don't really write NSFW but could potentially include a few slightly risqué moments if desired. I've already begun planning and some I've already started writing so they are in the works and I'm really excited to see where all these ideas go and to just add more Ronance fanfiction out into the world! I just love the idea of getting Ronance right near to the top/to the top of the most popular Stranger Things ships on AO3 because they really are so amazing together and throughout my years of shipping in fandoms, Ronance has pulled me in in a way no other ship ever has.
