   Summary

   Dearest mystery person… when will you agree to meet me?

   He never replies. He stopped doing so years ago. There is always a quiet guilt in his stomach as he picks up a pen to respond, and so he drops it. Again and again, no matter how much he wants too. He will never be enough for her.

   or

   A soulmate au in which whatever you write or draw on your skin is mirrored on your soulmates body.
   Will Byers is a weird kid, sure, and he never really fit in at Lenora, but he didn't want to move. And especially not to a stuffy town in Indiana. The summers, oddly enough, are warmer there than in California. Theres not enough wind in the valley.
   Mike Wheeler tries his best to stay in the background. He avoids making too much noise, he keeps his grades up, and he forces himself to go to school every day. So of course, he tries to fall for the first artistic girl he sees. That must help, right? It means he's normal?
