   Summary

   Will Byers has never spoke. Mike Wheeler talks too much.

   The two meet, become best friends, and both discover that Will has so much to say, and Mike is a great listener.

   or

   Pre-canon MiWi look throughout the years. Featuring selectively mute will and pre-byler fluff. Starts when they first meet in Kindergarten and ends right before the events of season 1, with an epilogue that takes place right after the final battle in season 5.
