the characters are like 13.

This was an issue I struggled with after S1 of Stranger Things came out. Back then, I shipped Mike/Eleven (not so much in later seasons because Mike kind of sucks after S1), but I'm not going to read smut about twelve-year-old characters. I'm not even comfortable with wanting twelve-year-old characters to kiss without tongue, lol. Other people can read/write whatever they want, it's fine--I'm still not reading smut about twelve-year-olds.

Obviously you can age characters up, but I just wasn't really feeling it with ST.

Yup. While I'm aware that some of my middle school classmates WERE "experimenting" so it's not unrealistic and "omg you should never write characters that age having sex", it was definitely not something I wanted to think about even then really. :P

And in this case it just seemed OOC anyway because the boy in question is very awkward and cautious, and the girl in question seems younger because she's one of those super positive bouncy types. Both of them very protective of each other. Not that they don't deal with heavy stuff in the game, but one of the reasons I love them as a ship is because they're so darned wholesome and cute and innocent in the midst of all the mess, and it was utterly bizarre to think of them just impulsively hopping into bed with each other five minutes after a first "I love you". (They'd still be blushing and stammering and "omg really?!" and probably like "can we hold hands? in front of other people? no, no, too soon" XD)

Yeah-- I think the kids discovering first love is cute (even if s3-4 Mike REALLY sucks and it's hard to see what El OR Will still sees in him), but I can't really get invested-- even with the older teens in the first couple seasons, I could NOT get into the shipping aspect? Like they're obviously canonically sexually active but still... kids, to me? Didn't get into shipping with any of them until s4

Now, Murray and Alexei? THERE's a Stranger Things ship I could get behind. Sadly not one there's a wealth of smut for.
