Robin Buckley/Chrissy Cunningham is a sapphic non-canon pairing in the Stranger Things fandom.
Canon
Robin Buckley and Chrissy Cunningham do not interact on-screen in the Stranger Things TV series, the closest they get is being in the same room during Jason Carver's speech about the basketball game.
Fandom
In fandom, Buckingham is an rare pairing. For example, as of August 2023, there were only 434 works on AO3 while Robin Buckley is tagged as a character in over 26,000 works. In addition, a large proportion of the works in the Robin Buckley/Chrissy Cunningham tag are works focused on Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson (aka Steddie), with Buckingham as a background pairing.
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Canon Divergence - Given that Chrissy and Robin do not interact in the TV canon, authors will diverge from canon to have them meet.
- Chrissy Lives - If works are set during or after the events of season four, canon divergence avoiding Chrissy's death is usually needed. Some works see a way to bring Chrissy back to life, instead.
Example Fanworks
Fanfic
- Avalanche by walkingsaladshooter. A canon divergence work from the series The Second Chance Club where Chrissy (and Eddie) are given a second chance at life after the events of S4.
- let me hear you sing once more, like you did before by hellfireharrington. A canon divergence work (diverging before S4) where Robin has a crush on Chrissy.
