Evan Hansen had always had such a constant stutter and such a bad stammer that he hated it. He hated the slight lisp, the mispronounciations, the speech therapy he went into, so one day, he just stopped. He stopped talking. He learned simple sign language phrases to help him, and what he couldn't sign, he wrote down. But, nobody really tried to talk to him anyway, so he thought it didn't matter.
Connor Murphy seemed to be one of the only people who didn't mind Evan not talking. Actually, he seemed to be the only one who was accepting of Evan. Nobody needed to talk to communicate, and he kept that in mind as he talked to Evan, and as Evan signed or wrote back to him.

Connor Murphy is basically a prostitute. He left home at seventeen and realised the easiest way to make a living was by selling his body, which takes a big toll on his mental health. He reaches the point where he feels as though life is pointless.
Evan Hansen is a typical college student. He deals with medically diagnosed anxiety and mild depression on top of college classes and his outgoing roommate and best friend, Jared Kleinman.
Trigger warnings: sexual, physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, smut, probably homophobic slurs at some point, sporadic cursing, mental illness, thoughts of suicide and self deprecation, and probably a few more I can't think of
