Summary
So Will waited patiently, erasing and going over a part of the sketch on his notebook. Should an arm bend that way at that angle? Maybe he could get El to help be his reference-
“Do you think I’m hard to love?”, came tumbling out of El’s mouth.
Will’s eyes had snap to El, who had gone eerily still.
“Like there’s…something wrong with me. Like I’m…I’m broken.”
Oddly, he felt that kinship again. He knew what it was like. Will knew what it’s like to feel different. He knew what it's like to feel undeserving of love. He knew what it’s like to want to be loved.
--
Will and El, and a late night conversation about how to say 'I love you' without saying it. Sort of a character study, sort of not. They just really understand each other, even if in some ways they want something the other has. Set before the events of Stranger Thing Season 4, in Lenora.

Summary
“Meow,” and there’s no way she heard that right, eyes snapping away from where she’d been distractedly watching the TV screen and over to her brother’s friend. She checks again, and yeah, Will is holding a stuffed bear, not a cat. The beloved Tiggy stays firmly attached to his bag, so they aren’t playing with tigers, either.
“So they go back down the mountain, and now all the village people are asking them about the crystal, and Rory is sad thinking they didn’t get it that whole time, but then–”
“Meow. Meow,” Will declares, removing the teddy from the dinosaur’s back and making it do some sort of interpretive dance.

Summary
"It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."
"You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.
"Absolutely."
Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.
After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.
Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonspeaking autistic, and Mike is also autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!
