Jancy

Jancy is the het ship between Jonathan Byers and Nancy Wheeler from the Stranger Things fandom.

Canon
Nancy and Jonathan first started out as acquaintance as they both attend the same school and both their younger brothers are best friends. Jonathan is a soft-spoke introvert, because of this Nancy along with many of her classmates thought of Jonathan as nothing more than just a creep. While Nancy is sort of an outgoing smarty-pants, their relationship becomes more awkward once Nancy starts dating Steve Harrington, one of the most popular and hottest guys in school. Jonathan and Steve had a history of hatred as they both despise each other. This was first introduced when Steve and his friends started spreading rumors that Jonathan killed his younger brother, Will. Despite this, they still kept in touch with each other. Their relationship later progresses over the course of the series. When in season one, they work together to find Jonathan's brother, Will and Nancy's best friend, Barbara.

While in season two, they still remain friends, but after a drunken Nancy breaks up with her boyfriend, Steve, Jonathan is on board to get justice for her deceased best friend Barbra Holland. On their way they meet private investigator Murry Bauman, who is currently working on Barb’s case to help expose Hawkins Lab to the world. During their visit, Jonathan and Nancy decide to stay over at Murry’s for the night. As he offers them his guest room presuming the two are a couple, which the pair are quick to deny. Murry then introduces their sexual tension and bids them goodnight, leaving the pair restless. Eventually, the pair give in their sexual tension and passionately kiss one another before sleeping together in the guest room. The next morning the two leave after having breakfast. Later Nancy, Jonathan and Jonathan’s mother, Joyce, try to free Will from the mind flayer, which they succeed in. A month later, Nancy and Jonathan are both seen volunteering at the Snow Ball at Hawkins Middle School with Nancy serving drinks and Jonathan taking prom photos. They are presumed to be going strong as they both share a familiar smile.

In season three, Jonathan and Nancy are finally official. They pick up a job together at The Hawkins Post
