Summary
Every night it’s become a routine for Mike to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. He’d make a cup of coffee quietly and stay up the rest of the night, reading comics until the sun came up. Anything that kept the night terrors away. He’s become addicted to the feeling of staying awake or rather not facing sleep…until Will catches him up in the middle of the night.

Summary
Will's happy. She makes him happy. So Mike should be happy for him. Right?
"I'm glad they get along so well," Vickie said softly by his side, "I think Robin really gets your friend, Will, was it? Sees herself in him. If you… know what I mean?"
Mike didn't.
-
Will and Robin start hanging out all the time. Mike is completely fine with that.
He’s also completely fine with the increasingly pointed love songs on the radio, the talk of a mysterious plan to win somebody over, and the fact that he's sure it has absolutely nothing to do with him.

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!

Summary
“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”
“Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”
Or
Dustin Henderson has a plan.
It is a good plan.
The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.- Language:
