Rockie

Rockie is the femslash ship between Robin Buckley and Vickie from the Stranger Things fandom.

The Hellfire Club
Steve is driving Robin to school who is no way listening to him explain his love life, as she's worried about looking like a mess for the pep rally. Steve's not buying it and knows that this is just about Robin's crush on Vickie. Robin insists that it isn't, but Steve reiterates that it is. Steve tells her that she's gotta stop pretending to be someone else around Vickie and needs to just be herself. Robin says that he's quoting her to her, and Steve says that she should listen to her own advice. Robin says that if she asks out the wrong girl she'll instantly become the town pariah, but Steve assures her that Vickie isn't the wrong girl. Robin says they don't know that and Steve reminds her where Fast Times was paused when Vickie returned it. No person who doesn't like girls has it paused there.

At the game that night, Tammy Thompson starts to sing and Robin makes eye contact with Steve. He whispers that he told her she sounds like a muppet, and Robin whispers back that she does. Vickie hears her and says that she sounds like Kermit. Robin was thinking more like Ms. Piggy and Vickie snorts. Robin almost reveals that she used to have a crush on Tammy but stops herself, before Vickie can fully hear what she says. Robin nervously asks if Vickie was asking her a question, and Vickie says no. Robin then stops herself from talking, much to her own embarrassment.

Fanon
White having a decent popularity, the ship is still a smaller one in the Stranger Things fandom. Despite the canon validity of the pair. This is mostly due to their limited screen time which was relegated to the first and last episodes of season 4.

On AO3, Rockie is the most written ship for Vickie and the fourth most written for Robin. There are currently 161 written works. Most works, however, mostly portray the two as a background pair to other pairings like Steddie or Jancy.
