  Summary

  Will Byers is just trying to get through his first few months in Lenora without a heartbreak related meltdown or a PTSD episode. He doesn't expect to run into Mike's clone, let alone become best friends with him.

  Richie Tozier is in Lenora after getting his heart broken by his best friend. He's not looking to get a new best friend, let alone get dragged into another supernatural-related situation where the lives of everyone he cares about are at stake, but Will Byers somehow worms his way into his life.

  Or,

  The deeply stupid, Will and Richie become gay best friends and make it everyone's problem. Specifically, eventually Mike and Eddie's problem.
