Summary
Mike Wheeler never stopped loving Eleven. He never stopped carrying the guilt of what he couldn’t save. When his nearly finished book refuses to let one character go missing, Mike realises the truth: you can’t write your way around grief.
A trip to Iceland, once a promise whispered between them on a rooftop, becomes something more than travel. It’s a pilgrimage. A love letter. A chance to say all the words he never got to say.
Amid waterfalls, northern lights, and memories that refuse to stay buried, Mike must decide whether love is something you move on from…or something that asks you to follow it, even into the unknown.

Summary
He could go home tomorrow and pretend this never happened. Invite Lucas and Max and Dustin over, play cards at the dining table and drink eggnog. None of them even know he's here.
But he’d look at the empty seat beside him, over and over, a tongue poking at the gap where a tooth used to be. But he’d toss and turn all night, not letting her slip from his mind in the hopes that she’d at least appear in his dreams.
But his heart pounds, insistent, as he stumbles around the town, like it knows something.
Four years ago, El vanished with the Upside Down. Now, Mike's heart pulls him to Iceland, desperate to find her.

Summary
It’s been years since Mike has seen her in person—more than a mirage, a ghost flashing before him when he closes his eyes at night—and though butterflies still flutter at the sight of her, there’s an ache in his stomach, too, no doubt brought on by questions of what will happen next. Will she welcome him with open arms into this new life? How has Eleven changed as a person and as a woman? Will she even recognize him? If she does, will she feel the same longing?
“Something led me here, I guess," he tells her. It’s bullshit, and they both know it, but it sounds a hell of a lot healthier than, “I promised I’d follow you into oblivion, so here I am.”
Post-finale one-shot. Three waterfalls, two people, and one love story.

Summary
But, if god made it so that they met, then it must’ve happened for a reason, so it couldn’t be a sin to fall for her, right? It wasn’t like he had the mindset that she would eventually fall for him too, as easily as he did for her, and to be downright honest with himself, he couldn’t even imagine someone as brilliant as her to even view him as the opposite sex, as a man. Heck, it even seemed like his own brother had his eye on her too, so it shouldn’t be surprising if she got swept up by some other man that had the chivalry and charm as one as a prince, or maybe just a whole prince could fall for her.
In that case, where did he even stand a chance?!
Upon hearing certain words, Freminet hesitantly attempts in taking his first step forward.
