    Summary

    Mike Wheeler never stopped loving Eleven. He never stopped carrying the guilt of what he couldn’t save. When his nearly finished book refuses to let one character go missing, Mike realises the truth: you can’t write your way around grief.

    A trip to Iceland, once a promise whispered between them on a rooftop, becomes something more than travel. It’s a pilgrimage. A love letter. A chance to say all the words he never got to say.

    Amid waterfalls, northern lights, and memories that refuse to stay buried, Mike must decide whether love is something you move on from…or something that asks you to follow it, even into the unknown.

    Summary

    Three years after Mike Wheeler graduated high school, he and his friends are scattered across the country, living their own lives. Dustin studies, Lucas and Max are madly in love, Will follows his dreams in New York. Mike writes his books and tries to push through persistent recurring nightmares.

    Eleven is gone. Mike does truly believe she is living her life free, head down, in a faraway land... but when his sister finds her big career break, the pieces come together to write the one story Mike wouldn't let himself believe in anymore.

    A Stranger Things post-finale fix-it fic. Chapter titles are song titles from the show's official soundtrack which I feel are relevant to that scene.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler has been waiting for a decade, and yet every day he reckons he can wait a little longer. Everybody else moved on — but he remained unchanging. Same time, same routine, same spot where he would sit and stare at the place where he last saw El — where he last felt her touch. Ten years on, that memory is as fresh as the pain he felt when she disappeared. It’s as if he’s been stuck exactly where she left him.

     

    A few days before the anniversary of El’s disappearance, Mike realizes he’s being watched — watched long before he even begins to piece the puzzle together. The military has been keeping an eye on him, and he can’t think of any reason except that they believe he would lead them to someone — to El. That, like him, they also believe she’s alive.

     

    And that fragile hope is enough to ignite something inside him. If she’s alive, he’s going to get to her first — hide her from the rest of the world before they can even catch up. He’s going to find her — even if he has to search every corner of the world, every place with at least three waterfalls, just like he promised.
