    Summary

    Mike prides himself on being the number one student in the junior class - that is, until a new girl comes to town. Luckily, he has his friends Dustin and Lucas to distract him from his failures.

    Public high school is a breeze for El, whose adoptive father, Jim Hopper, sacrificed everything to raise her and her sister, Kali. But what's the point of being successful when she's so lonely?

    Or, the 2010s academic rivals-to-friends-to-lovers AU.

    Summary

    Mike and Lucas have been tennis partners for years, and best friends for even longer. They've been inseparable since they were kids and while they may bicker like an old married couple, what's Mike's is Lucas's and what's Lucas's is Mike's. That is, until they meet the alluring rising star tennis player El Hopper, and suddenly sharing doesn't quite seem like an option anymore.

    Summary

    A figure about four inches shorter than Neel walks forward, red-and-yellow dress swaying in the gentle breeze as she drapes an arm around his back. Her dark hair is pulled into a low bun, lustrous and full under the beat of the sun. As she turns her head to greet Mike, her sincere smile topples faster than a Jenga tower after the yank of the last block.

    Mike’s throat shuts itself off from his lips as his eyes meet hers.

    Because thirteen years later, El still has the most gorgeous pair of doe eyes Mike has ever encountered, and she’s caressing his new coworker right in front of him.

    -

    13 years after the events of the season 5, El is working at the local radio station and living happily with her long-term boyfriend in the UK.

    So what happens when her partner's new friend and coworker happens to be Mike Wheeler, the love of her life and a ghost of her past? And what happens when he delivers some life-changing news about an important person from her past, one that has her questioning her current life and relationships?

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler is, in every sense, a shell of the person he used to be. Days melt into years, success arrives without feeling, and the book deal he once longed for does nothing to fill the space inside him. Only El’s absence still maims him—persistent, potent, impossible to ignore. But then, she appears to him one night, in a vision that feels far too real.


    Or El accidentally pulls Mike into the void after years of estrangement and they, slowly but surely, become one again.

    Summary

    “I’m Elín,” El said and there was the note of stubbornness she’d always carried in her, still so present. “Please,” she said. “Please, Mike.”

    Mike let out a laugh that grated on his ears, “Finally. I thought you’d forgotten my name.”

    El’s brows furrowed, lips twisting, “You think I’d ever forget your name? Forget you?”

    “Did you not?” Mike asked with a pained smile. 

    Egged on by his editor, Mike embarks on a journey to the remote town of East Iceland, Seyðisfjörður, to recuperate and perhaps, find something inspiring to write about. What he finds there instead is the love of his life, once presumed dead, now real before his eyes, and a community that offers him the space to heal without handing him the cure.

    Maybe his life still has capacity for the adventure and wonder that he’d once thought he’d lost forever.
