Summary
El runs and she keeps running until she's about as far away from home as she figures she can get. And as the years go by, she manages to carve out a peaceful sort of existence. It's not a happy life, but she's content with the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind are safe and happy.
But while Mike's safe, he's not happy, not by a long shot. He's living a half-life, living under the shadow of the love he lost... of the love he knows is still out there, somewhere, waiting for him to find her.
And when Mike finally has enough of surviving without living and embarks on an aimless journey to find her, El knows her days of isolation are behind her. Because the longer Mike tries to search for her, the more attention he brings to himself and the more likely he'll put himself in danger. So she leaves a trail of breadcrumbs to guide him to her, as always willing to do anything to keep him safe.
And when they reunite in the sleepy village El has learned to call home, they'll learn if they can move past the shadow of the history they share... and if they can rediscover the love that once shone brighter than the sun.

Summary
“Mike, I heard you.”
There’s no need to clarify what she heard – there can really be only one thing she’s referring to. Mike gulps, nervousness winning out, but he doesn’t look away, eyes locked firmly on hers. “I was, uh, I was hoping you did.”

In the aftermath of the fight against Vecna, Mike and El make their way back to Hawkins... and to each other.

Summary
“Whatcha doing?” Mike asks in a low whisper, voice raspy with sleep. He turns his head and presses a gentle, lingering kiss on the skin right below her ear, making El shiver with the casual intimacy of the gesture. “Gracie ok?”
El nods and it takes her a second to find her voice. “Yeah,” she whispers back. “Just wanted to watch her sleep for a little bit.”
-
Mike and El get their happily ever after.
