Summary
It has been 4 years since the Upside Down was destroyed and with it the girl Mike loved more than anything. The theory that she survived and is living in peace keeps him going, inspired to write her story disguised as a simple fantasy novel. He stays in contact with the party that has been spread out, but he is alone most of the time, spending his days at his typewriter.
El has managed to find peace in Iceland, making new friends and living without the threat of captivity under a different name, but something is missing in her life ever since she said goodbye to the boy she loved more than anything. She always thinks about her previous life in Hawkins, writing letters to them that she will never send.
One day, El walks into the bookstore and notices a familiar name on the cover of a bestselling fantasy novel. "The Storyteller and the Mage" it was called. And this version had the happily ever after they both had wanted.
Maybe it was still possible. Maybe Mike could write the ending after all. El just did not know how possible it was.
