I'm totally and completely back on my Stancy bs and am resisting the urge to watch s4 for a third time just for the Stancy scenes.
Also, if anyone has any good fic recs please let me know because trying to filter ao3 to avoid every single other ship is very, very annoying.
Trying to filter ao3 is the worst. These are a few of my favorites that are either one shots or completed multi chapters. For top notch pining I recommend you read I’m Coming Out (I Want the World to Know) before anything else. Enjoy!

Stay on the Streets of This Town (and They’ll be Carving You Up) by adogwithabirdatyour_door. This is a 4 part story so make sure you start from the beginning
Ahhh thank you so much!!! These suggestions all look amazing and I am literally going to start reading them right now haha!
This is the problem with being a small ship in a big fandom, it makes finding things impossible. So thank you for sharing some with me!!
It really is impossible to filter out all the other ships, on top of finding things that aren't actually "past stancy" in the tag.
Gonna throw out these two from @stevethehousewife because they're great (really all of their stancy stuff is wonderful)
A Shot in the Dark - Steve goes to the library with Nancy instead, a scene we were robbed of.
Hold the World - It wasn’t that she forgot about her first love, her high school sweetheart, how could she ever? But seeing him again so many years later - and he’s just as charming, just as handsome, just as kind as the day she left him behind.
