Cannot believe Will and El were already ride or die even before meeting each other. El said “I’m gonna find Will, this boy I’ve never met before in my life, even if it kills me” and Will heard El and was like “Hello voice I don’t recognise, I trust you, tell my mom to hurry up and find me”
And now they’re brother and sister. I love them

Will comes out to El when they’re in California and she just gets SO EXCITED bc like, Max had kind of mentored her in the art of dating and boys and stuff and now she gets to do that with Will!!!
Like she reads those teen girl magazines with him and asks him if he thinks the guys in them are cute and when he gets sad that Mike isn’t writing to him (he never tells her that this is the reason why he’s sad but she can tell), she takes him out to the shops to get ice-cream and a cool new makeover and reminds him that “there’s more to life than stupid boys”

The Field- New in Town
Stranger Things
The letters laid strewn across the floor. Their words had been El’s solace for the first few weeks moving out to California. But as each letter came, a small hope peeked in her. She would scan the letter looking at the end and find disappointment at the words:
“From, Mike”
It stared back at her in silent mockery. “From,” but never “love.” He had said it once. He had meant it. But now, it had hidden itself inside him and he had not let it show since.
A gentle knock came to her door. She sniffed, “Come in.”
Will walked in to see the scene. The letters all across the floor. The balled up tissues that hadn’t quite made the wastepaper basket.
“El… what’s wrong?” He kneeled down gingerly. Ready in case she wanted to kick him out instead.
She put her head in her hands, she mumbled, “…alone.”
He bit his lip. “I’ll give you some space.”
She lifted her head up and new tears burst forth. “No! I said I feel so alone!”
Will immediately realized his mistake and got on the floor with her. She wailed and he wrapped his arms around her.
“Hey, hey. It’s okay, El. It’s okay.” He soothed, holding her and she sobbed into his shoulder. “You know that’s not true, right? You aren’t alone. You have me and Jonathan and my mom- our mom.” He wasn’t sure if she was actually okay calling her mom but it felt right in the moment.
“I know that. But I used to have everybody. I had Max, and Lucas and Dustin and… Mike.” A fresh sob emerged from her throat at the mention of his name. Her cries choking out the last name, “Hop-”
He squeezed her tight. Why? Why did all this stuff happen to her? To them? She was right. There was a moment. After the Snow Ball, there had been a reprieve from all the fear and the heartache. They went over to the cabin nearly every other day. They helped her learn what they knew. They would talk and laugh. And then summer came and everything fell apart.
All he could do was hold her. “I feel it, too. I miss them everyday. Most days, it felt like they were the only thing keeping me together. And now, they’re a thousand miles away. And I know it’s hard, but they still try to talk to us in the ways that they can. We get to talk on the phone and Mike sends you all these letters.”
There was a pang of jealousy in him. Mike didn’t write him letters. Will had attempted doing the whole “story/ art back and forth” thing, but Mike hadn't sent anything back. To make things worse, his mom had started a new job as a salesperson and used the phone all the time.
El let go of Will and looked, begrudgingly at the letters. “You don’t get it. All these letters, not one of them say love. He won’t say it or even say why.”
Will looked at all the letters, bewildered. Wasn’t that the way you were supposed to sign letters to your girlfriend, ‘love’?
Wil questioned, “Well, have you talked to him about it?”
El quoted, “‘You can’t make someone say, ‘I love you.’ I have to wait.” She was quoting Joyce. She had talked to her about it, but another letter had come and El felt the fresh wave of disappointment.
“I- Yeah, I know you’re right. But maybe just if you say it first.”
“I say it in every letter.” Her voice was frustrated and she sat back against the bed.
“Oh.” Will couldn’t understand or fathom it. Why wouldn’t Mike say it? What was going on with him? He looked over at El and saw the hurt.
There was a small, sad sigh. El leaned her head back against the bed, “I think something is changing. But… I still feel so attached to him. Like he has a part of me forever. When I think of him, I think of that boy in the rain, who made me feel safe, who hid me from the bad men.”
“He has that way about him. He finds ways to save you, in all the ways that matter. Without even trying, he makes you feel like you’re not alone. Like you’re important and belong.”
El looked at Will and she saw that same love
reflected in his eyes and the same ache.
She said, “I want to love all of him, but there’s this part he won’t let me get to, no matter how hard I try. He keeps it hidden.”
“What do you mean?” Asked Will.
She paused, trying to find the words. “I don’t know what I mean. I’m not making sense am I?” She wiped her eyes with her hands.
“He loves you, okay? I know he doesn’t say it on paper, but you gotta understand, his parents aren’t the type to say, ‘I love you’ out loud. A lot of what we learn about love we get from our parents. The people who raise us. But he shows it to you in so many ways.”
El shut her eyes at the thought. Did that mean that some part of her Papa’s love was in her? The twisted, cruel “love” that was conditional and transactional.
No, she thought. Everything she learned about love was from Hopper. Love was reading together. Love was in a tussling of hair. It was in smiling eyes. It was in the smell of freshly toasted waffles. But Mike couldn’t do any of those things.
El said, “We’re a thousand miles away, Will. What other way is there to show love?”
Will was struck dumb. She could be poignant at times. He tried to think of what he could say to console her, “You didn’t hear the way he talked about you when he thought you were gone-”
“Actually, I did.” She huffed, “I’m done talking about this.”
“El-”
“Would you say it?” She asked.
“What?”
“Would you tell him you loved him?”
Will felt flushed, he must have gotten her meaning mixed up. “You mean, if I was him would I say it to you?”
He misread her, but she nodded anyway. She didn’t have the energy to explain herself. The conversation was draining her.
“Well…” he tried to think. It didn’t matter whether he actually would say it or not. What mattered was saying the right thing to her in this moment. He needed to lift her spirits, to give her hope. It was his job as Mike’s best friend to smooth things over.
But he was also El’s brother now. And somehow, in the short time, she managed to learn more about him than he’d ever let the others know.
So, he offered her the truth, “I don’t know, El. There’s a lot of weight behind those words. For me, I heard those words said from my mom and dad when things were good, but that was a really long time ago. And there is so much doubt when I think about it, because of what ultimately ended up happening between them. The fighting, the broken dishes, the yelling, everything. So, it’s like, did they mean it at all? Did they even know what love was to begin with? Do you wait to say the words until you’re absolutely sure?” His shoulders sank with the weight of it all. “And… for me… being who I am and loving who I love… it’s even more complicated because…” He put his head in his hands.
“You should say it some day.”
He could feel his face getting red. To Mike? Never. But that probably wasn’t what she meant. “When I find the right person, I will. But Mike does love you. I see it.”
She sighed, “I know there is love in his words. But I don’t know if it’s the love I thought it was…”. She looked exhausted. “Can we take a bike ride please?”
Will felt like a failure. He couldn’t comfort El or smooth things over for Mike.
“Of course.”

Hc that El and her family, in fact, did not forget about Will’s birthday.
They just had party day before Mike arrived.
There were presents, and Jonathan was clear enough to make a cake for Will, and they were eating, chatting, and it was just nice.
And El gave Will a small figurine that represented him. It was colored, and she made it when she was making a Hop’s figure.
Nonetheless, Will was happy to receive from her, something that she made herself, They hugged, and now it stands on the shelf in Will’s room.

YAY SOMEONE ELSE WHO SHIPS ONE/ELEVEN!!!! I love their dynamic and chemistry so much 💘☺️ I can't wait to see them interact in vol 2, do you think One will try to get Eleven to join him one last time (before she refuses again)? How do you think their interaction will play out in the season finale?
oh YES there's got to be a confrontation between them! i do think that there'll be another opportunity for her to have "one last chance" to not be destroyed, though it won't be as good of an offer as the first time. but i have no doubt in my mind that it's eleven who's going to have to defeat him, though i think Will will also be involved somehow since he's so connected to the upside down.* and this is going to be a huge showdown--it's going to be emotional, it's going to be frightening (because this is a memory henry's been sitting with for years while eleven only just remembered). it's possible that maybe henry wants to use her as a pawn now that he can't work with her, which would be ironic since that was what he was trying to escape from and save el from in the first place, but it would track with how villains work (eg the darkling from the grishaverse). this time, el would have to break free herself rather than have henry's "help." i think it's going to be angsty and epic--they better do volume one justice, but with the dedication that jamie's had to one's character, i have no doubt it will be!
also--on a shipping level, it's only going to create that many more AUs and especially parallel the way survivors have to confront their abusers. brenner, shitty as he is, showed el these memories for a reason, and i think there will be a huge emotional presence, whether you ship them, like them platonically, or whatever:)
*I saw a theory post about Will already having been a victim of Vecna's, what with his frozen visions in season 2 and such. i like that a lot, and i think it really draws el and will closer together as they always have been linked with the upside down and the past. i wouldn't be surprised if will sacrifices himself for el or vice versa. i love them so much they're the best siblings *cries* anyways that would be super sad but probably temporary so i'd take it
PS since this is the second ask i've gotten about eleven x one and there's a couple others of us out there, would y'all like me to create a discord? that way it doesn't always have to only be anon--i know this fandom is mostly antis 😅 lmk! <3

#eleven got reckless with others so twelve chose his face as a reminder to save others #thirteen got reckless with herself so fourteen chose his face as a reminder to save himself #but both faces were chosen because of donna

part of what made across the spiderverse so perfect was that it was largely centered on WHO spider-man is, in EVERY universe. not just Miles, or Peter, or Gwen, or Miguel. Spider-Man. it was about the ESSENCE of Spider-man. Spider-Man is love for humanity. Spider-Man is having to sacrifice and lose everything you love for the mask. Spider-Man is rebellion against the powers that be. Spider-Man is about trying to do both, in every universe. about not taking no for an answer or listening when everyone tells you your destiny. refusing to choose between the things and people you love. that’s why Spider-Man is so compelling: they want everything, even though everyone else tells them they can’t have it. that it’s not meant to be. and they just. keep. trying. keep getting back up. they just keep going, man.
