    Summary

    "While I have been silently waiting on the side line, he has fallen in love as well, but that someone has not been me. And now I'm stuck with being his best friend, and though I would not want to miss one minute of our friendship, it hurts so much to watch him being happy with someone else."
    Mileven, 1980's High School AU (inspired by the Taylor Swift song 'You Belong With Me')

    Summary

    Why wasn’t Mike looking at her? His back was still trembling, and she could hear small hitches amidst heavy breathing. Then, he suddenly swiped at his face, turning around to face her.

    El froze. “Mike?”

     

    OR: Where El hates tears and thinks that touching them is disgusting. But when Mike cries in front of her, she doesn't hesitate to wipe them away and kiss his cheeks dry.

    Summary

    “I’m fine, Mike. I promise,” she tacks on the last part for good measure, but her grasp on his hand only tightens to the point his knuckles audibly crack. It’s not painful though—never that. “I just have to catch my breath sometimes.”

    “And what if you drown in the process?”

    Lying in a warm bath seemed like a good idea at first. It was a way for her to relax, to give her mind some respite and unwind her body without first exhausting it or relying on Mike to do it for her. Just five minutes to remember how to breathe. It wasn’t the tank or even a worthy substitute but she could pretend at least, letting memories wash over her like ghost tides.

    Prompt: “exhale”

    Summary

    Sleeper town Hawkins, Indiana has returned to normal following the disintegration of the Upside Down six months earlier, but for two teens it no longer feels like home.

    Eleven is still in danger from the government, with questions looming over whether or not the telekinetic really did meet her end. Her boyfriend Mike, rumored to have been involved in the satanic practices responsible, has been labeled a pariah.

    So when Mike is handed a gun, keys and a roadmap, he knows it’s time to put the fail-safe plan into action and skip town with the girl, even if it means cutting all ties and leaving their friends and family behind—with no one but the former Chief, a conspiracy nut, and Mike’s own sister to cover their tracks.

    AKA the runaway Mileven agenda
