#barbnancy

au where barb lives/is revived and her and nancy get together and are a badass couple that fucks demogorgons up 

now they know what it's like to lose someone. im not the only one whose friend won't come back.

it gnawed and nibbled at her until all that was left was guilt and anger. she felt guilty for even having those thoughts. eddie didn't deserve to die. dustin, the kids and her friends shouldn't know what it's like to lose a friend. she felt angry at mike. his best friend came back from the dead. hers didn't. she felt angry at will. he survived. barb hadn't. she felt angry at max. she survived vecna's attack. fred hadn't. she was angry at herself.

it's all my fault. i killed barb. i killed fred. and now i killed eddie.

it always came back to this. she could pretend that she was mad at everybody else in hopes of finally believing it, but she was just angry at herself. for not listening to barb. for not protecting fred. for not saving max. for having failed eddie. for feeling a comfort in the hurt of her friends.

Scenario where when Steve asks Nancy out she says yes desperately she needs to get out of this THING with Barb she needs to be normal Nancy and Barb need to move on with their lives so they can be normal and they don't have to be tainted like this. Nancy who tells Barb to go home and turns back to Steve and convinces herself that it's Steve she wants and not anyone else.

Scenario where Barb goes missing and when Nancy sees the body she's hit with so much guilt because not only did Barb die because of Nancy it's because of Nancy' stupid feelings and Nancy trying to run away from them. Nancy who tries to push down her like of women because otherwise Barb died for nothing but she can't, she can't pretend to be happy with Steve. It's bullshit.
