Summary
"Do you think I'm an asshole?"
"I don't really think about you in general," Robin snarks, scribbling an annotation on her copy of Macbeth and flipping the page. Unfortunately, it's not entirely true. Robin spends more of her brain power than she'd like to trying to decipher the hows and whys of Steven C. Harrington. But she's definitely not thinking about him as often as he thinks she is.
"Oh."
He sounds genuinely wounded, and Robin sighs, looking up from her book to meet his eyes. He's trying to hide it, obviously, shoving his hands in the pockets of his too-tight jeans, and looking at anything but her. Despite her rudeness, he makes no move to leave.
"That's not— I was kidding, kind of," Robin admits begrudgingly. "Why are you asking if I think you're an asshole?"
Set Post-Season One. Steve drives Robin home from work. Robin drives Steve to grow.

Summary
“You gotta get out of here,” he repeats, his eyes alight with a strange sort of panic, even for a dead boy’s brother. This isn’t grief. This is fight or flight, and Robin’s pretty sure he’s leaning toward fight. “This isn’t a good time –”
And that’s when a hand bursts out of the tree next to them.
Robin screams, and Jonathan is screaming, and the hand, which Jonathan seems to think is Nancy Wheeler, is screaming from inside the tree, but it’s glowing with a weird red light in there, and there’s some sort of mucus membrane that Nancy’s hand is frantically pushing through.
Suddenly Robin is lying in an all too quiet wood across from a panting Jonathan Byers and a goop-covered Nancy Wheeler.
“What– the fuck.”
(OR, the canon rewrite where Robin was dragged into this mess in s1)

Summary
It was one project. One group project in Sophomore year. Really, Robin didn’t even need Jonathan to do anything – she just wanted to ask what topic he’d be willing to sign his name to. Just to be nice.
If only she hadn’t stopped to ask him.

Summary
“My boyfriend thinks I’m an idiot,” Ilya says. "Well, not really but a bit, maybe.”
“Your boyfriend?” Sandra, the queer studies professor sits down, hard.
“Yes, he thinks it is not smart to say faggot in the locker room when you are locked in the closet and Russia has the keys.”
Ilya had been talking about himself when he’d said it. Making a joke. Sailing a little close to the wind, sick of listening to the background hum of homophobic bullshit. But someone had been filming. The video went viral. The Raiders panicked under the terrible PR. Now he was here.
Sent to Queer Studies 101 to appease twitter. Because he’d been cancelled. For being a homophobe. If was fucking ridiculous.
He turns to the professor. “So, can you help me take on Putin and NHL at same time or I need more advanced class for this?”
Plus Chapter 2 – Social media chapter. Once they've been outed, Ilya gets to demand an apology from twitter.
