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 nonverbal autistic, and Mike has allusions to also being autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

Summary
It's been 25 months since the Upside Down was destroyed.
Both Will Byers and Mike Wheeler are trying to move on with their lives. But, as it turns out, the Upside Down isn't done with them.
And perhaps more importantly, Will and Mike aren't quite as done with each other as they thought.

Summary
Will’s nose bleeds a lot.
The first few times, Mike just chalks it up to stress. Can stress even cause nosebleeds? He has no idea. But Will was definitely stressed a lot. It made sense, more or less.
Until it didn't.

Summary
-----
"Is a kiss a possible signal or...start of a...snowball?"
"A kiss isn't a signal nor a snowball." Will frowned immediately, confusion knitting his brows together, his mouth turning down at the corners.
"What is it then?" The question came out quiet, almost afraid of the answer, but needing it desperately anyway.
"An avalanche."
