Jane/El sends a letter to Will

Summary:

Jane/Eleven sends Will a letter explaining how it feels to be autistic and on the aromantic spectrum.

Notes:

This is basically just me projecting onto Jane. I really wanted to make this, and Jane is the most likely character to be autistic and on the aromantic spectrum that I could think of.

This is set in between seasons 3 and 4, in Lenora.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Dear Will,

There is something I need to talk to you about. It is a difficult subject as I don't know how I feel myself. I can't bring myself to talk to you about this face to face, so a letter will have to do.

I'm not sure why I feel like this. I think I might be unable to fall in love. I never have any crushes, I've only ever had one I mean, yes, I find people attractive every now and then, but it's never any more than that.

You're probably thinking, "But Jane, you like Mike," and, yes, I liked Mike. But that hasn't had any effect on this.

Okay, I have something I'd like to admit to you. Me and Mike broke up. It was a mutual break-up, I think he's going to talk to you about it when he sees you next.

I don't think I liked Mike for more than a year. I haven't had any crushes since, and I feel like I should've.

Another thing is confuses me is that sometimes I can't work out how I feel about someone. I like them as a more than a friend, but it's not a crush. I don't know how to explain it. It's not normal and platonic, but I don't want to kiss them or hold their hand.

I don't know.

You might be able to help but maybe not.

Love, Jane x

Notes:

Will gets this letter slid under his door. I might make this into a series, but I'm not sure.
