Summary
It had to be a dream. It had be a joke, a cruel joke. He walked up to where giant rift used to be, but it had been sealed, replaced with the regular cite of just a wall. He had seen it close. The Upside down was no more.
That should be a good thing. It is a good thing. So why did he feel so…defeated. They had won but at what cost. He had lost her.
Time had froze for him as he stood there, staring at the wall. A tear escaped as he face quivered as he kept trying to process what had happened.

Summary
He reaches for the glass of wine again. He takes another swallow. And then—
It happens. It’s nothing. It’s a flicker, a second, a feeling at first. The hair at the base of his neck feels like its been grazed, electric and immediate and impossible—so, utterly impossible. Because he hasn’t felt this since—since—
Mike readjusts in his seat, just a little. Fingers brush his, feather light. And then the world tilts, and he’s swallowed into the darkness. He hardly has the time to breathe before he looks up and sees her. Not a hallucination, not a stranger on the street with the same hair, or the same style. Her.
El.
--
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in Reykjavík—El finds Mike's published book and builds the courage to take it home with her.
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in New York—Mike cannot seem to adjust to life without her.

Summary
Mike whispered to anyone who might listen—the ceiling, the lamp, the grasshoppers, “Please. Please!”
The bulb light in his lamp flickered, humming with unbearable waves of electricity, then he was plunged into darkness, a wet, echoey chamber with a single figure, looking at him. Even in the darkness, he could make out her frame, the shape of curls loose down her neck. “El!” he tried to scream, but the vision was already flashing away.
---
A Mileven post-canon fix-it fic. Over a year post-grad, Mike finds himself all alone and still mourning the loss of El. Stuck in Hawkins with no motivation to do anything, he begins being haunted by visions of her which cause him to write again and, eventually, to travel the world in pursuit of the life they could have lived together. -

Summary
Fresh flowers always sat on the center of the small table in the kitchen by the window, colorful cushions on the couch, trinkets she picked up from the bookstore. It wasn’t much, but it was enough. Her things kept her company, even if her heart yearned for more.
Until Mike. Mike, who left everything and everyone behind to be with her. Who slowly started to make this place his own as well—that’s when she started to really notice the changes.
