    Summary

    Mike Wheeler’s internship at the Hawkins Police Station is a boring monotony that tests his last patience—until a bloodied girl with no memory stumbles through the doors, asking for help.

    As they try to figure out what happened to her and why she can't remember, strange things start happening.

    So strange that the more they dig for answers, the more unsettling the truth becomes.

    Summary

    "I'm sorry," El said softly as she crisscrossed her legs on the couch to face him better. "I know the rules said no spying."

    Their knees bumped into each other as he moved to mirror her position. Her hands clasped onto his, and every small bit of skin on skin felt dizzying and heady, almost like her touch was a drug after being without it for so long. Mike giggled half-giddy through his tears.

    "Screw the rules," he said. "You make your own rules, remember?" She smiled a soft little smile at this, bright and warm like a blanket bathed in colorful sunset light, and he wanted to burrow in and just live there. Her hands in his were warm too, a little callused, but still as soft and small as he remembered and so, so alive.

     

    AKA Five times Mike Wheeler wanted to believe El was 'visiting' him after her death(?) at the gate, and one time he knew she was. Fair warning, gang - it's gonna hurt before it gets better.

    PART 1 of this slow-ish burn Mike/El reunion story in 3 fics because SCREW that ending! They will always find each other. This part follows Mike from 1987 to 1993.

    Summary

    “It’s like something’s been on your mind for a while and you’re not—you’re just keeping it to yourself.”

    Her throat works. “Am I not allowed to do that?”

    She doesn’t mean to sound defensive, but the words come out like that anyway. Mike blinks, a little surprised and she can’t blame him for it, but the gentleness of his voice doesn’t fade. “Of course you are,” he says with a nod. Never one to deny her anything. 

    It sends an aching pang through her chest. He’s always on her side, puts her above everyone else—including himself. He has shown it to her time and time again, proved to her repeatedly that nothing is more important to him than she is. And that—that worries her.
