Summary
El Hopper: beautiful, sweet, and instantly one of the most popular girls in the Hawkins’ High junior class when she moves there after her dad takes the job of Police Chief for the small town. Mike Wheeler: king of the nerds, A/V club president, and completely invisible to girls.
Naturally, Mike notices the new girl - how can he not when she’s the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen in his entire short life? But she’s so far out of his league, it’s not even worth dreaming about. So it’s completely and utterly confusing to him when El takes a lot more than a polite interest in him.
El, for her part, is instantly smitten with the cute nerd with gorgeous eyes, adorable freckles, and the most beautiful smile she’s ever seen. No one understands when she decides to pursue him, especially not the popular kids, but it’s harder than she bargained for to get Mike to trust her, to let her into his heart. Guess it’s a good thing she’s as persistent as she is popular, isn’t it?

Summary
One-shot collection centering on important moments in Mike and Eleven's relationship.
99% canon compliant, with three exceptions:
1. El still has her powers
2. Hopper isn't dead or in Russia
3. The Byers never move awayBasically a place where I air out my frustrations of the ending for season 3 by, of course, essentially ignoring it!
Overall rating Teen & Up, may change in the future. REQUESTS ARE ENCOURAGED AND APPRECIATED!!

Summary
Four years after disappearing from the world, Eleven has learned how to live in silence. Far from Hawkins, far from her family, far from Mike, she has built a quiet life in a forgotten corner of the map, carrying memories that never stopped hurting — or loving.
As the world begins to change and the Cold War shows signs of weakening, long-held certainties start to crumble. On the other side of the ocean, Mike turns his pain into words, writing stories about everything they lived through… and everything that was left unfinished.
Between memories, distance, and a hope that refuses to fade, two separate paths begin to draw closer once more. Because some stories don’t end — they wait.
