Characters and couples research

Active source

9. What the fandom writes about them most

According to Fanlore and AO3 tags appearing on the tag: the most recurring tropes are:

first kiss
slow burn
hurt/comfort
jealousy
mutual pining
roommates to lovers
post-Vecna healing
bi Nancy / lesbian Robin
Nancy loves Robin / Robin loves Nancy
protective Nancy / protective Robin [7][9]

In simple words: The fandom almost always takes what the show gave — bond through action — and translates it into the question: okay, and what if they finally sit down after everything and realize this isn't just an investigation.
