Summary
El opened her eyes, and her breath caught in her throat. There, in their living room, was a fort, her heart skipped a beat as nostalgia washed over her, and for a second, she almost started to tear up.
Mike smiled softly at her reaction, explaining, “I thought maybe we could go back in time tonight.”

Summary
Another cliché-ass "boy climbs in through girl's bedroom window and sappy teen romance happens" scenario that I'm sure everybody's already done, but in my defense the whole show is built on 80s movie clichés anyway
~~~
El stared admiringly down at the bracelet, a smile plastered on her face. Her name looked so much more beautiful when it's spelled in letters. "Pretty..." she murmured.
Mike perked up a bit. "Yeah? You think so?"
She beamed at him. "Really pretty."
He was making that glowing face again. "I can put it on for you, here..." Mike held her left hand up gently while he hooked the chain around her wrist, not too tight but tight enough to not slide right down to her elbow. The charms twinkled there, dangling right overtop of the ink digits branded into her skin. "011", the numbers that were always there, that identified what she was for so long, hidden behind sparkling silver letters that spelled "EL", her name, the name Mike had given to her, the name that defined who she was. It was perfect.

Though she's learning, there's still a lot El doesn't understand about Christmas. Including what that little green plant is all about and why people kiss underneath it.
Good thing, then, that she has Mike to ask, isn't it?

He'd give anything just to see her like this always: El, all hazy in the warm glow of his house. Pale skin and pink lips. Soft eyes and rosy cheeks. She's glowing, with love or happiness or maybe a little of both, and she's real and whole and here.

Summary
When you save the world for the third time and you just want ten minutes alone with you boyfriend to talk about all of the things that happened in between all of it, but you've been crammed in the back of a dusty pizzamobile instead for over twenty-four hours with three other young men instead.
It's a good thing everyone has to sleep at some point. El thinks it's about time that she let Mike back in to her worried mind, and maybe give him a taste of his own medicine.
Because she loves him more than anything too.

Mike is not sure what he expected when he pushed open the door labeled ‘Employees Only’, but it definitely hadn’t been his girlfriend folded in on herself between out-of-service gumball machines and cardboard boxes full of crap.
“El, look at me.”
Prompt: What if Mike found Eleven hiding in the backroom at Rink-O-Mania before she could bash Angela’s face in, changing everything that followed?

Summary
Mike hits on the idea of giving El a promise ring well before he actually does. But just because it takes him a while to get there, doesn't mean he ever stops thinking about it....
(aka the 4 times Mike thinks about giving El a promise ring and the one time he actually does.)
