“So, this is new?”

Nancy and Jonathan spring apart as if they’ve been burnt when she gleefully cuts in, interrupting them on the porch. Slightly cruel to the teenagers maybe. But considering Nancy disappeared on her all weekend again, even if it was for a worthy cause, helping the Byers as Will got seriously ill, she thinks she’s earned the right to mortify her eldest just a bit.

It's Mine Now (Jancy fic)

For day 2 of @jancyweeks 2025 the theme is Reconnection. Kind of finagling this in, it's not a reconnection between Jancy but an unwelcome one from the past.

Nancy Wheeler protecting the Byers family from an unwelcome visitor. Byers family bonding (with the best in law). Set between s2-s3.

A sudden pounding on the door catches them by surprise.

“I’ll get it!” Will calls out, bouncing up from the couch.

It’s not Hopper. It’s someone who makes her angry by simply existing.

“Hey there son,” Lonnie greets Will with a smile.

Will visibly recoils from his father. She’s the closest to them, so she hurries to step forward and putting herself between Will and his father, moving Will back with a gentle hand on his shoulder.

“What are you doing here?” She spits out.

“What a welcome. Could ask the same about you, who the hell- oh… the Wheeler’s eldest, right? Boy, you grew up nicely. What are you doing here, slumming it?”

She crosses her arms over her chest, Lonnie’s leering gaze making her skin crawl.

“Fuck you.”
