Would you happen to have a link or copy of a Stancy fic about Steve mourning the sudden death of his mother? I remember reading it a couple weeks ago, and I can't find it in AO3.

Hi, so sorry for the late response. I don't know of or have a copy of this fic but I will put it out to our followers to respond in the comments or reblogs if they do! Can anyone help?

[stancyfic]

Hi!, are there any fics where nancy gets pregnant from her first time with steve?

Hi, I'm not aware of any that have that specific criteria, but this one is set in an unspecified time in s1

And here is the 'pregnancy' tag with all the fics we have under the general pregnancy criteria.

title: only you possess the key

author: maplemood, TolkienGirl

summary:

“Don’t question yourself. You’ve got good instincts. And—” “What?” She sounded sharper than she’d meant, if not as sharp as she felt—sharp to the point of brittleness, frozen. A cracked and jagged plate of ice he was treading on. Soft-footed, like that made any difference. Unless it made all the difference: his smile had dropped, but his eyes met hers. “And you know about it,” he told her. “You always have.” [Nancy and Steve, after everything. But everything, of course, is never over.]

title: Over The Edge

author: emmyrdo

summary:

What if, in the moment Steve nearly fell from the tower, Nancy finally realised she was in love with him? As the Upside Down crumbles around them and the mission hangs by a thread, one split second changes everything. Faced with the very real possibility of losing Steve forever, Nancy is forced to confront the truth she’s been avoiding for years—and once she sees it, there’s no going back.

title: The Desperate Dive

author: CaylieSpice

summary:

“You alright,” Nancy checks in as she finishes tying off her makeshift wrap, tucking the tail into the waistband of his sweatpants. Her fingers linger on his waistband and she looks up at him. He looks wrecked and obscene, covered in dirt and blood with sweat making his whole torso glisten. Steve’s brown eyes have blackened as he takes her in, chest heaving from adrenaline or being turned on she isn’t sure and she doesn’t care. He reaches down, cupping her face and pulls her up to stand with him. Steve’s lips meet her in both appreciation for patching him up and heightened emotions at how dire their battle with the bats just was. Or A shamelessly spicy version of the Lover’s Lake sequence if Nancy and Steve had stayed in love the whole series

title: Control

author: echohouse

summary:

She still has the shotgun raised. He knows he shouldn't go to reset the targets. "Steve!" She throws her arms down, gun pointing at the ground. "I know." He puts up apologetic hands, still as a frightened deer. Until he moves forward, closer in front of her. "I could kill you." "I know." "It's not funny." Nancy knows she shouldn't scare him to prove a point. She points the shotgun towards him anyway. or, When Steve asks Nancy for shooting lessons it escalates to a place they never expected.

title: The Bet

author: Featherquillforhire

Steve and Nancy have a bet system they use that usually results in ticklish consequences for Steve.

title: The Exact Moment When

author: Baneismydragon

summary:

Sometimes there are moments when you see something that alters your perspective- where everything becomes clear. Sometimes the moments are grand, sometimes they are barely a flicker in the corner of your eye. But when these moments happen you always know that the world is just a little bit changed. This story follows the moments when the various members of the Party realize that Steve Harrington is truly and irrevocably in love with Nancy Wheeler. (This is really an anthology of short stories and drabbles all set with the same theme. Each chapter is from a different characters POV and set at a different point in the timeline.)

title: lovers and madmen have such seething brains

author: birdsofthesoul

summary:

Jonathan's already decided to go as Gregor Samsa in cockroach form. “It better get me out of dancing,” he says, frank to a fault. “No,” Steve says loudly. “Absolutely not. No way in hell, man. You can’t show up as a bug to my mom’s ball.” And because he considers himself the authority on fashion among the four of them, he sniffs and says, “I’m leading the way from here on out.” Nancy loops her arm through Robin’s. It’s the last thing Robin expects her to do, but she’s come to realize that she never really got to know the soft, unarmored version of Nancy Wheeler Steve fell in love with all those years ago. Or: Jonathan and Robin want Steve to star in their movies.

title: You've always been there and you will forever

author: LateNightDreams14

summary:

"You were there, you've always been there" Quite not what Nancy Wheeler expected to hear while walking towards the biggest and most dangerous adventure they had. But she would lie if she said her heart didn't skip a beat in that exact moment. She can't say she hasn't been imaging a moment like that either. She has, way too many times to waste her chance when it actually happens. Because this may be her last chance to fix all the unresolved tension between her and the man she jumped into a different dimension for without hesitating for one second. aka the 'you were there' talk but Robin doesn't interrupt and some things are said...

title: All The Hidden Hearts

author: cogentranting

summary:

It wasn’t all bad. Some of the best moments of Steve’s life were caught up in the monster hunting and the dimension hopping. Maybe all the best moments. It’s impossible to really regret something that brought you together with everyone you really love. But maybe he was alone in that. ---- December 1990. Nancy asks Steve to help her investigate the case of teenage girl who has gone missing. Steve and Nancy solving a mystery tolgether, some mutual pining and lack of communication, some danger, realizing what we all already know (that they're still in love), and Lucas and Max getting involved eventually.

title: Strangled by the Grapevine

author: cogentranting

summary:

"Even when the ground is cracking open and the world may be ending, Steve Harrington, former king of Hawkins High, disappearing for the better part of a week and then showing up at his job with a ring of cuts and bruising around his neck does not go unnoticed. The earth is shaking, the military descending, ash pouring from the sky–take some comfort from gossiping about the rich kid you all once wanted to be." _____________________________________________________________ A few months after the destruction of the Upside Down, Steve learns about the rumors spread around town about the bat scar on his neck and questions his relationships with his friends.

title: Crawling Back To You

author: CaylieSpice

summary:

The Party is training for when they finally find Vecna during one of their Crawls. Steve is pretending not to still be pining after Nancy. And Nancy is hiding her feelings behind their reforged friendship. This is a prequel one shot to my Melting Point story - a Stancy Romance S5/Epilogue Cannon Divergence Fix It Universe

title: old friend

author: user411a61z200

summary:

fall 1990. nancy struggles with what it means to live in the “real world” when the only ones who understand are somewhere else. (and maybe there is one person in particular, still stuck in hawkins, who might understand her better than anyone else.)

title: The Way Back Home

author: GhostHost23

summary:

Years after all the Upside Down stuff is over, everyone has left Hawkins except for Steve. He knows he has to forget about his stupid dream, but he has never been very good at letting go. One day, some surprise visitors show up at his house in need of some help. Maybe his dream isn't as out of reach as he thought it was, at least not the most important part.
