Summary
“Lucas, what do you think?” Mike directs his question to his oldest, most trusted friend. Was he just clinging onto childish hope, or was this a mission worth tackling?
“I think we should have helped El when we had the chance,” Lucas answers honestly, guilt cracking at the edges of his voice. “And now we have one.”
-
What if the party was grieving El more deeply than what was shown in the epilogue? What if they didn't just believe, they knew? What if they had one last mission, to bring their mage home?
or
The party travels around the world to find El, and they finally do.

Summary
He reaches for the glass of wine again. He takes another swallow. And then—
It happens. It’s nothing. It’s a flicker, a second, a feeling at first. The hair at the base of his neck feels like its been grazed, electric and immediate and impossible—so, utterly impossible. Because he hasn’t felt this since—since—
Mike readjusts in his seat, just a little. Fingers brush his, feather light. And then the world tilts, and he’s swallowed into the darkness. He hardly has the time to breathe before he looks up and sees her. Not a hallucination, not a stranger on the street with the same hair, or the same style. Her.
El.
--
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in Reykjavík—El finds Mike's published book and builds the courage to take it home with her.
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in New York—Mike cannot seem to adjust to life without her.

Summary
“I can explain.” The woman wearing El’s face chimed in softly, bringing their attention back to her.
El stepped up towards her, eyebrows furrowed. “…Are you me?”
The woman smiled softly. “I am.”
“Holy shit.” Dustin breathed.
The girl their age scowled. “Where are we!? Who are you people!? What the hell is this!?”
“I’ll explain everything.” Jane started. “Don’t worry, you’re safe. This place is… nothing here can hurt you.”
Lucas frowned. “Wait, where exactly is this?”
“This is going to take a bit to explain, but…” Jane let out a deep breath. “I’m from the future.”
They all stared at her in pure silence.
“I think I just threw up in my mouth.” Dustin whispered.
OR: When Jane's suicide plan goes awry, she finds herself with an oppertunity to go back in time and warn her precious people of the evils to come.
OR OR: Just a remastered version of my ST watch-it fic that's been altered so it can include season five, and also Robin.

Summary
Here's the thing: Mike didn't always believe. Not all the time, not every day.
When he awoke at the hospital, hooked to a host of chirping machines, there was a nurse at his bedside. She said that he had suffered complications from severe shock and his heart had stopped for two and a half minutes. If his sister hadn't performed textbook-perfect CPR on him at the scene, he'd probably be dead.
Mike closed his eyes. His last thought before drifting into unconsciousness again had been: You should have let me go with her, Nancy.

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.
