Summary
When El Hopper starts at the Hawkins High School for the sole purpose of joining the school musical, Mike Wheeler finds himself immediately enamored with her.
There's one problem -- she's in sort of showmance with his best friend, Dustin Henderson.
When budget cuts force the a/v club to serve as the show's tech crew, Mike finds it harder and harder to ignore his feelings for El, especially now that they've started skipping lunch with their friends to run lines in the library.
But when Dustin asks Mike for advice, and El admits that her first kiss will be the one she's supposed to share onstage with Dustin on opening night, Mike must make a decision between what's best for him, what's best for his friendships, and what's best for the show.

Summary
"I love you, too."
Her breath stuttered in her chest. Four years. He'd held those words on his lips and in his heart for four years, refusing to tell her goodbye.
She had feared bitterness from him, or anger, or something, anything, that would come between them, because something always came between them, didn't it?
But in his first words to her, he had cut through every fear, every obstacle. It was as if he'd stepped through space and time and impossible heartbreak to say, I'm still here. I've been waiting. I never stopped loving you.
El and Mike try and fail, over the years, to find peace without each other, until El realizes enough is enough: she will find a way to bring Mike back into her life, no matter the cost.

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.
