The Duffer Brothers say the Stoncy & Ronance polycule officially established during the epilogue rooftop scene: "Naturally, Nancy was the first one to propose the idea, and everyone was on board with it. They just love each other so deeply, these four, and we believe we made it pretty obvious to the viewers during the course of the show. We have always intended to end their story like this. To have them start talking about it on screen would have been confusing in the context of someone from GA who hasn’t seen it coming, but we sure they did have that conversation."
Will - Dating Mike and Lucas, and in a queer platonic relationship with Max
El - Dating Mike, Max, and Dustin
Lucas - Dating Will and Max
Max - Dating Lucas and El, and in a queer platonic relationship with Will
Dustin - Dating El
The entire party, (sans El) regardless of if they are actually dating Will or not, absolutely love being all flirty and handsy with Will just to ragebait Mike, who is very possessive of Will. Will also absolutely loves this. Mike's not as possessive with El (unlike Will, she's not as much a fan of the possessiveness) but he will get grumpy and pissy with Max when she's all over El because it's Max.
Even Dustin, who isn't dating Will or interested in guys, will absolutely cuddle and snuggle with Will and give him cheek kisses just to get a reaction out of Mike.
Lucas, Max, and Will go on trio dates/outings all the time, and usually when they do, El and Mike have some nice quiet time. Neither of them are big fans of public outings, and would rather have quiet time in. Dustin bounces between going out with the trio and staying with Mike and El, or sometimes he's just hanging out with Steve during this time. The rest of the party are mainly friends with each other, whereas Dustin does have friends (Steve, mostly) outside of them, he likes to hangout with them sometimes during these outings.
El and Will absolutely love to tagteam fluster Mike. Cuddling, handholding, complimenting, kissing, they love turning him into a puddle of flustered goo.
El and Mike tend to stay more on the romance and soft side of affection. Their relationship is more soft and supportive than intimacy based. While they aren't 100% against intimacy, it's not something they often seek out with each other. Cuddling and making out is more their speed. They'll often seek out other needs with other partners. It's the dynamic they like most.
They've both found a lot of freedom being in the polycule. Less pressure on their relationship to hit all the points that society says they should as a straight couple. They can just exist as the El and Mike they are comfortable with.
The party often feels bad about leaving Dustin out of certain activities, since he's only dating El, but Dustin always tells them to shut the fuck up. He loves his friends and the new found comfortability he feels around them since they became a polycule, but he's completely comfortable just being with El. He constantly has to remind the party that while they are each others only proper close friends, he still likes to go and hangout with Steve and Robin (and Eddie if this is a universe where he is alive). He's completely comfortable with his place in the polycule.
Will and El both always felt weird dating Lucas and Max respectively at first, since the two were already in a committed relationship. Lucas and Max always found this adorably endearing, and always took advantage of flustering them and embarrassing them. They'd always end their teasing seriously though, and remind the two of them that the polycule was their idea to begin with, and they are perfectly comfortable dating both each other and their new respective boyfriend and girlfriend.
Mike and Will weren't actually dating when the polycule first started. Mike was still struggling with his feelings towards Will, and understanding them. Being in the polycule helped. It made him feel closer to Will, even though their relationship didn't technically change. Seeing Will with Lucas also helped. Although he did feel a tad jealous, he didn't really know why. He mainly felt a weird since of relief, which he also didn't understand. It was El who finally gave him that nudge that made him understand what he was actually feeling, and also that it was okay to feel it.
He and El began having much more personable and easy conversations ever since the polycule started. Their relationship just felt easier. Tucking El into his side felt... easier. Holding her hand and kissing her, not just making out with her, but just soft kisses and pecks and gentle affection all felt... easier. Talking to her felt easier. And El felt the same. It didn't feel like she was fighting against a invisible wall anymore. They just felt... lighter. El took considerable joy and delight in helping Mike figure out what he was feeling, and also a lot of laughter when discussing his obvious feelings with both Max and Lucas.
And when Mike finally understood after a lovely conversation with El, naturally the next time the whole party hungout, Mike just walked over to Will and kissed him flush on the mouth before sitting down next to him. The whole party laughed their asses off for a good five minutes at Will's utterly flabbergasted expression. They'd have an actual conversation later that night, but at the moment, Mike just wanted to be with Will now that he'd figured out his feelings, and he couldn't wait to show those feelings until the rest of the party went home. Besides, given their dynamic, he knew the group wouldn't care.
Max and Lucas took full credit for their relationship blooming, given it was their idea to start the partycule in the first place. Mike vehemently argues that if anyone gets credit, it's El (who won't argue for herself because she doesn't care about credit. She's just happy to see her brother and her boyfriend so happy.) who was the one to help him recognize his feelings. El just watches on with Dustin, giggling while Dustin eats popcorn and enjoys the show. Will shakes his head at all of them, already done with their antics.
Will and El do not enjoy having to explain to Hopper that not only are they in a polycule (and have to explain what that even means to Hopper when they themselves don't have a proper name for it because it's the 80s), not only are they both dating multiple people and no they aren't cheating everyone is okay with it and no they are not being cheated on, not only are they in no way shape or form romantically involved with each other because gross they are siblings, BUT that they are also now BOTH dating Mike Wheeler. Somehow despite everything else, that is the worst thing to have to tell their father.
The one time Dustin does jokingly tease about being left out is when El and Max go on dates or have girl's nights and he hangs out with the core four, since he's not dating any of the guys and they're all entangled in one way or another. However, he is always just teasing his friends. Often times hangouts with the core four are prime ragebaiting Mike hours and there is nothing Dustin enjoys more than riling up Mike Wheeler. This often ends up with the four of them roughhousing in a pile of limbs, him, Lucas, and Will all laughing their asses off and Mike pouting and half growling at them.
Will and Max's dynamic doesn't change too much when they begin the polycule. They don't know what to call their relationship (again, 80s, this lingo either doesn't exist or is not widely known) but they both know it's somehow deeper than a friendship. Max knows she feels nothing towards Will romantically, and Will is still incredibly gay, so they don't really know what's going on. They think it's just because they are both dating Lucas and that Max is dating Will's sister, but none of the other members who are dating the same or multiple people have their same relationship, so they aren't sure. They just know their relationship runs deeper, and as long as they both are comfortable and understand that, they don't feel the need to uselessly label it. Later in life when they first hear the term 'queer platonic relationship' they both have a lightbulb moment and stare at each other while going 'ohhhhhhh'.
Max has to sit El down when their relationship starts and explain that some people won't be okay with two girls dating, and will likely not even come close to understanding them dating multiple people. El thinks she gets it at first. She'd met bullies before. People who were rude to her friends because of how they looked, or acted, or dressed. She'd been bullied herself in Lenora. But Max has to tell her that their relationship is more than just something bullies will target. That it's something that unfortunately most people will not understand, and many think is so wrong that they could be harmed.
El understands after that, and becomes much more fiercely protective of her friends and partners alike, feeling a lot of anxiety when members of the party are out when she isn't there to keep them safe from bad people. Mike relates heavily to this, and does what he can to help ease her anxiety, despite having the same anxiety himself. She gets teased about Mike's 'guard dog tendencies' rubbing off on her, but she doesn't mind. And secretly, the party feels a lot safer with the now duo of protectors they have at the head of it.
While Max and El love their friends, boyfriends, and brother, they absolutely love going on dates with each other, and also love having sleepovers (for more reasons than one). Max is the most in favor with Hopper of any of his kids romantic partners, so having sleepovers is the most stress-free experience possible. Max still enjoys getting to show El all the fun things she's missed, so their dates are never consistent. Max is always coming up with new fun things or a new fun place to take El to to try. Even once she's caught El up on everything, she still finds new restaurants or new activities to do with El because El is the only one of her partners or friends who will genuinely try anything and Max loves it. Even if whatever they try ends up terrible and they both hate it, they still have the time of their lives because they are having fun and with each other, and that's what matters.
Lucas always gets sad and pouty whenever Max goes off to have dates with El, and oh boy does Mike absolutely love giving Lucas shit for it. Lucas retaliates saying his girlfriend left him too, but Mike just shrugs, saying she's also Max's girlfriend and that El can do what she wants. Lucas rolls his eyes saying that if he and Will went out right now, that Mike would be pissed. Mike doesn't even blink, just smirks and says that Lucas is absolutely right. He sees no reason to hide his possessiveness over Will since everyone knows it, and the annoyance on Lucas's face is 100% worth it.
This will also inevitably evolve into Lucas purposely being extra touchy and lovey with Will and will inevitably end in Will, Lucas, and Dustin having the time of their lives while Mike is once more angry pouting after shoving Lucas and Dustin away and wrapping around Will like a snake.

I'm not typically a BiMike truther, however I do like El and Mike getting to have a nice happy relationship free of societies pressures when they are part of the party's polycule so this is the only time where I personally headcanon BiMike lol
Also I absolutely adore queer platonic madwise, argue with the wall lol.

“There’s no way,” Nancy gasped, wishing she could see Robin's face over the phone as she explained what happened the night prior.
“I’m not kidding, we had sex and she wants to do it again sometime,” Robin explains further. “God, I can’t wait to rub it in Eddie’s face that I got to fuck her first.”
“I’m going to have to make a move then, too,” Nancy feels a twinge of jealousy spread throughout her body, for which girl she’s not sure, she just knows it’s there.
“Not satisfied with Steve anymore?” Robin teases her.
She sighs, “you have no idea how boring it is when you’re also a dom, he wants to be in control but so do I and then we just end up hate fucking, it’s annoying.”
“Sex with men, in general, is probably annoying,” Robin sympathizes. “I’m just glad I never had to pretend at all, I think I would’ve died if I had to fuck a man, even once.”
“Some are good, like Eddie,” Nancy lets it slip.
“Excuse me?” She can hear Nancy sit right up, almost screaming down the line. “Since when?”
“Last week after movie night, I stayed back to help him clean up after Steve took you two home and one thing led to another and suddenly I had him cuffed to the bed and used him like a dildo.”
“Holy shit,” Robin can’t believe it. “I never would’ve seen that coming.”
“He called me mommy,” she can’t help but smirk, “it was really good.”
“This isn’t helping my fear that he’ll take Y/N from me,” Robin sighs. “You can’t take her either? Promise me you won’t fall in love with her or something?”
“I won’t,” Nancy promises. “Did you tell her you like her? Does she know you want to be with her?”
“Yeah,” she sighs and tosses her head back against the pillow. “She said she thinks she likes girls too… we kissed a few times and it was nice but I think I should give her some time to think about it before I bombard her with questions about dating me.”
“True,” Nancy agrees. “Can I hook up with her? Maybe then she’ll know for sure she’s into girls and if she likes you and how gentile you are?”
“She’s not my girlfriend, do what you want.”
Thats all Nancy needed.
The next morning at work she decides to write their little friend a note. “Meet me in the Library - Nancy” she added a few hearts and stuck it to Y/N files for the day, knowing she would rush through them to come and see her next door.
she’s in the basement of the Library working on the archives and doing research most days, always completely alone, unless Y/N came down to have lunch with her. She was used to no one bothering her there, and it was basically soundproof with all the books absorbing any noise made down there… it was a perfect spot for her to come onto them and an even better spot if something came of it.
Sure enough, Y/N makes her way down to the library with a smile and a pep in her step, “hey, nance.”
“Hey, cutie,” she uses the group's nickname for her, it fits so well. “How are you?”
“Good, how are you?” She came right over and hugged Nancy where she sat, even kissing the top of her head sweetly.
“Great now… I was getting a little lonely there,” Nancy tries to play off just how much the small amount of affection means to her.
“Well, I’m here now,” she takes a seat beside her. “What did you need me to do?”
“Oh, nothing, I just wanted to talk to you… I talked to Robin last night,” she slips it in not so casually, she wasn’t the best at gradually getting somewhere she was a straight to the point kinda gal… it’s the only area where she’s straight.
“You did?” She panics slightly. “What, uh, what all did she tell you?”
“That you guys fooled around, I’m just seeing if she’s telling the truth, you know, 'cause the boys had a bet on who would get to sleep with you first and she kinda won… I need to be a good judge.”
“They did?” She’s so caught off guard by that. “Do all of you want to have sex with me or something?”
Nancy nods, “Basically… I mean, I’d like to get my hands on you before the boys do. I think it would be funny to know that me and Robin made you cum and they probably won’t.”
“Why not?”
“Oh, honey,” she pet’s Y/N’s head gently. “You have no idea how selfish boys are… I came probably twice my whole relationship with Jonathan. They just don’t care that much about getting us off.”
“Oh,” she can barely breathe with Nancy so close. “I uh, I like cumming… and I think I really like girls who can make me cum.”
Nancy all but growls, the noise leaving her through was absolutely feral for her, “I’d very much like to—
“Right now?”
“Right now,” Nancy confirms as she stands with Y/N’s hand now in hers. “Follow me,” she explains, hauling her up and towards the back corner and against a shelf.
She looks into Nancy’s deep blue eyes and then down to her lips as she crowds her in the corner. Hands-on her hips, making their way up her waist, stopping just under her boobs, all while Nancy cups her face in her hands and leans in. Their first kiss is flawless, perfectly soft and wonderfully new. She settles back against the bookshelf, Nancy pressed against her chest as the kiss heats up, she slots her thigh right between Y/N’s legs and grinds against her.
Y/N moans slightly, hands roaming Nancy’s back as she holds her close. Her tongue is so soft in her mouth, she tastes like spearmint gum and freedom, it’s intoxicating. One of Nancy’s hands slowly makes its way down her neck and over her boob where she takes the plunge and starts to massage her, her other hand now in Y/N’s hair and gripping tight. It’s a little rough but mostly gentile, hot and sweet and wonderful, she can’t help melting under Nancy’s touch.
Nancy kisses the side of her mouth and all the way down her neck while she works on the buttons of Y/N’s shirt, exposing more skin and covering her in kisses. Y/N moans her name, gripping Nancy’s shoulders and trying to get even closer to her. Nancy hikes her shirt up and slots her own slack-clad leg between Y/N’s legs for her to grind on.
“Sound so pretty,” Nancy coos right in her ear, taking the lobe between her teeth gently. She kisses the pulse point right under her ear, sucking gently so she’ll moan again. “I’ve been thinking about this for so long… I knew you’d be so reactive and good for me.”
She grips into Nancy’s fancy tip a bit too tight, worried her nails will cause a run in the fabric but also wishing they were closer… naked… and in her bedroom… “please, please, Nancy?”
“Please what, baby girl? Hm? Use your words,” her breath is hot against Y/N’s neck, turning her on even more. Nancy pulls back and smiles at her, “say it.”
“I want you to fuck me,” she says in a volume just above a whisper, staring back into Nancy’s eyes and then down to her lips. “With your fingers… please?”
Nancy groans, “oh, I never thought I’d hear such filthy words come out of your pretty mouth.”
She pulls up Y/N’s skirt even more, balling it up and making her hold it herself, displaying her pretty pink panties with a dark wet patch forming… Nancy runs her middle finger over it with a smirk, lightly teasing her at first before she presses her middle finger in and rubs Y/N’s clit over her panties.
Y/N tosses her head back, hitting the wooden bookshelf a bit too hard but she doesn’t give a fuck, “oh my god Nancy, right there.”
“Can I go inside, baby?” She asks, making her beg again.
“Please, please? I need you,” she sounds so desperate, and Nancy revels in it.
Nancy slips her fingers under the fabric and glides her middle finger along her slit, pressing in and rubbing at her clit almost immediately. In soft little circles just to get the feel of things, to guide her into it… Nancy watches as Y/N leans her head back against the bookshelf with a groan, eyes wires shut and mouth agape, trying to be quiet but it felt too fucking good.
“You like that, don’t you, sweet girl?” Nancy coos, rubbing her clit a little more with the pads of her fingers, gathering up all her slick as she does so, making the most delicious noises. “You’re so fucking wet for me…”
Y/N whimpers, legs trembling as she tries to remain upright, “c-can you… can you—
“Say it, baby,” Nancy teases, toying with her. “Use your words, I know you can do it…”
She looks right at Nancy, fucked out and making the sweetest eye contact with the softest face, “c-can we kiss?” She asks, bottom lip sticking out in a pout.
“one condition,” Nancy stops all her movements and presses her chest against Y/N’s, staring at her softly she explains, “I promised Robin you wouldn’t leave this in love with me.”
She shakes her head, “I won’t… I-I know this is just sex, it’s supposed to be a fun thing you can do with friends… right?”
“That’s right, princess,” Nancy gives her such a proud smile, “you’ve gotta know the boys wanna fuck you too… but I’m so fucking blessed you let me in before them.”
“technically you’re not in, you’re just in the general vicinity,” she teases, grinding her hips down against Nancy’s hand, playfully.
“That what you want?” Nancy whispers, ghosting her lips along Y/N’s jaw on her way over to her ear, all while two fingers slip inside. Y/N whimpers again, melting in her touch. “Not so funny now, are you?”
“Fuck me, please?” She begs, gripping onto Nancy’s back like her life depended on it, hiking one leg up to wrap around her and give her better access to her cunt.
Nancy’s free hand grips Y/N’s thigh, feeling up to her ass and having a good squeeze, spreading her cheeks a bit and making her moan as she fucked her harder, “wish we were in my bed,” Y/N says aloud this time. “Wanna, fuck, wanna be naked with you…”
“That so?” Nancy kisses her cheek, breathing heavily against her, both in excitement and from the workout, she was getting on her arm, finger fucking Y/N with a passion. “Wanna invite Robin too?”
She whimpers again, nodding ever so pathetically, “please… she’s so soft, not, holy fuck, not like this…”
“She loves you, that’s why,” Nancy teases. “I think you’re fun, pretty as fuck, don’t get me wrong, but you’re a plaything… I’m just lucky she shared you with me. Maybe we should share you together, sometime…”
“Please, please, mommy,” she whines, louder than she wanted to be, neither of them cared anymore. The sounds her pussy was making were obscene enough, the moans were just a bonus.
Nancy’s on fire with power, smirking like the devil as she curls her fingers and aligns her palm with Y/N’s clit, making it feel even better. She remembers the last time Y/N begged and how she hasn’t kissed her yet… she’s so pretty, so fucking blissed out on her fingers as her head leans back against the bookshelf.
Nancy runs her tongue along her throat, bringing her back to focus, still smiling, “close, pretty girl?”
She nods like her head is on a spring, drunk with pleasure, she can barely speak, she just moans. “You can, but…” Nancy kisses the side of her mouth, using her free hand now to cup her cheek and hold her in place, “I’m gonna kiss you and you’re going to moan into my mouth so the librarians don’t know you’re a whore, kay?”
She nods again and Nancy slows down her movements, “what was that?”
“Yes,” she whispers, but Nancy stops completely. Triggering her to bring back Nancy’s new title, “Yes mommy, sorry mommy, I wanna cum so bad.”
“Fuck, you’re so good for me,” Nancy groans, picking up the pace again and fucking her with a passion. Her panties are soaked, Nancy’s hand is wet up to her wrist and she’s pretty sure her fingers are all pruned on that hand, but it’s so fucking worth it.
Nancy, still holding her face, caresses her cheek with her thumb. Y/N’s mouth still hung open, breathing heavily and moaning lightly, Nancy slips her tongue right in there. Making out with her which gives Y/N permission to cum anytime now, and she’s so close. She grinds against Nancy’s motions, sucking on her tongue, feeling her tits pressed up against her chest… it’s all so much that her thighs start to tremble and that delicious heat she chases alone most nights starts to spread through her.
She does get louder, Nancy was right, making out would mask it, but not by much. She cums so hard she feels like she might fall over, but Nancy is there to catch her so it's fine, she just lets go.
It feels like it lasts forever, and even when it’s over, Nancy doesn’t pull out right away, she simply kisses down Y/N’s neck and whispers sweet encouragements. That’s my girl, so pretty on my fingers, you did so well for me, baby…
Y/N’s barely able to stand on her own two feet, Nancy knows that, so she pulls her fingers out slowly and carefully and helps the two of them down to the carpeted floor. She sits down and Y/N slumps onto her almost immediately, resting her face on Nancy’s shoulder, like she wants a hug, but Nancy only had one clean hand, she couldn’t hold her properly.
“hold on,” Nancy pushes her back and pulls some tissues out of her pockets, ever the planner, she knew this was going to happen. She cleans her hand off and opens her arms again, letting her flop right back.
She holds her softly this time, soothing her hands down her back, “how do you feel?”
“Dreading having to go back up to work…”
Nancy laughs, “I’m doing research all afternoon, you can sit with me, you don’t have to do anything but I’ll tell them you did?”
“Okay,” she agrees with a sigh. “Can I have just a few more minutes?” She holds her tighter, not ready to let go.
Nancy smiles, “of course, sweet girl. You can have as long as you want.”
When the Party hangs out together, sometimes El and Max decides to cuddle on both sides of Will just to annoy Mike, because he’s funny when he pretends to not be whiny.
(Mike: “don’t annoy my boyfriend”
Max: “that boyfriend who now hugs us?”
Will, trying not to laugh out loud, seeing Mike’s pout: “pfft.”)
