  Summary

  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.
