You got Ronance headcanons?
i mean yeah definitely obviously but also this is so vague i immediately forgot every hc i've ever had about them
nancy realizes robin and vickie are dating in early august 1986. she's lying in bed, thoughts wandering as she tries to fall asleep, when she gets struck by a bolt of clarity and sits upright in a cold sweat thinking holy shit, robin's gay. a few things happen then. 1) she does in fact realize she's jealous, but she can't exactly explain why and chalks it up to a friend thing. 2) she is not in fact mean to vickie, she just can't really stand to be around when she and robin are in the same room. she tells herself it's so they can have some rare alone time. 3) years later when she and robin finally get together, she tells robin about all of this and robin thinks it's hilarious
i've talked about this one before but when they wake up together, robin always cooks breakfast, but robin always has to pop the biscuit can for her
this has def showed up in the cfdau and i consider it canon in the charmed au too although i can't remember if i ever put it in, but nancy will drag her feet on some mornings just so robin makes her coffee for her, because it always tastes perfect when robin makes it
the first time nancy gets in over her head in boston (so, like, a month into her first semester) she has a panic attack in her dorm room because she doesn't know what to do or who to turn to and she hasn't felt this alone in months, and it reminds her too much of that first year after barb went missing. but then, mid-breakdown, she remembers robin telling her how she has her back, how she wants to be around to help nancy. nancy gets up, washes her face, and calls robin, who arrives at her dorm just a little over two hours later. from then on neither of them ever question the fact that robin is nancy's partner in crime, and she'll always be there when she needs her
nancy has spent years certain she'll grow up and get a dog when she has her own place (ted and karen always said no), but when she gets her own apartment in boston and tells robin she's thinking about getting one robin is like 'really? i thought you'd be more of a cat person.' nancy has never once thought she's a cat person, but when she goes to the shelter to adopt she looks at the cats, too, and that's what she ends up taking home.
she spends the entirety of their next phone call avoiding robin's questions about whether she got a dog before finally mumbling out that she ended up getting a cat instead. she hangs up before robin can finish saying "i told you so"
budding alcoholic nancy does still live rent free in my head, thank you for asking, at she goes to a party at emerson and gets absolutely trashed. a couple girls from her dorm manage to get her home safe, but at that point she's both completely wasted and completely consumed by memories of junior year, being so haunted by barb and fighting with steve and all of it, so she's basically inconsolable. the other girls have no idea what to do, until nancy asks them to call robin because that's the person she knows she can turn to when she doesn't want to face something alone. robin is, once again, there within a couple of hours. her shirt is on inside out and her hair is still messy from sleep, but she's there
the first time robin calls nancy for help is finals week at the end of her freshman year. she's completely stressed, has gone through a semi-messy break up with another girl in her dorm, has hardly slept in a week because she's stressed about exams, and has barely eaten in nearly three days because she's saving the last of her money for the drive back to hawkins. she puts off asking for help for the longest time, because she knows if she asks steve he'll drive halfway across the country for her and she doesn't want that. and she really doesn't want nancy to see her like this, but then she pictures a tiny nancy on her shoulder scowling at her and calling her a hypocrite--she really, really needs to catch up on sleep--and swallows her pride and calls. nancy shows up two and a half hours later, but the extra time is because she stopped at a grocery store in northampton so she could stock robin's fridge as soon as she got there
they go to france the summer after robin graduates from smith. it's part graduation gift and part anniversary gift, and neither of them want to come back when it's over, but they do get to move into their new place in boston pretty much as soon as they're home. they both remember it as one of their favorite summers for the rest of their lives
