Summary
El can move mountains. She can fly. She can defeat Vecna. This is why Mike will never think of El in the past tense. Because maybe she’s not dead. Maybe she’s in another dimension none of them know about. Maybe she’s trying to get back to him right now. It’s the smallest sliver of hope, but Mike holds it tightly anyway. He’ll never let go.
This is an exploration of the 18 months between El’s “death” and the Party’s high school graduation, followed by their college years. Through it all Mike Wheeler wraps his guilt around himself like a quilt. He buries himself in delusions. He writes. And he waits. Mike is good at waiting.

Summary
“Hi,” he began, his voice quiet, barely a whisper. He cleared his throat. “Hi, Terry. I’m Mike. Mike Wheeler.” He paused, his eyes tracing the lines on her face. “I’m Jane’s boyfriend.” He swallowed hard. “Well, I was. I am. I don’t know.” He shook his head, frustrated with himself.
Terry just rocked. “Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow…”
“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry I have to be the one to tell you this. I’m so sorry I have to tell you at all.” He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his hands clasped together so tightly they shook.
“Jane— she— she died.” The words came out in a choked whisper. “Two years ago.” His throat closed.”
or
Mike goes to tell Terry that Eleven is dead and learns she might not be.

Summary
“Henry, I need medical attention—” Mike huffs, barging straight in, and the rest of his words immediately die in his throat.
There’s only one office on the camp’s grounds. Mike is sure Henry didn’t mention any others during the tour; was sure he pointed out this one as his. There’s four Counselor of the Year awards nailed above the window that check out, and a name plaque on the desk that says HENRY, and yet it is not Henry that Mike is currently looking at.
It’s a girl. A girl his age, which is humiliating enough—but then she looks up, startled, and she’s a really pretty girl his age that he’s just walked in on unannounced, and Mike decides that he obviously has to go and kill himself later.

Summary
**One Shot**
This happened. We just never saw it. Between Season 4 and 5, while the world outside Hawkins kept turning, Mike and Eleven found a quiet corner of their lives to exist in, even if only for a moment.
I definitely wanted a scene like that since we never got one and everything happened off-screen. This definitely happened during that period of time in my off-screen imagination because I am delusional like that
