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.

Summary
Summer break has finally come! Mike and Eleven spend time in the cabin and feel how their "Good nervousness" (Stomach butterflies basically) turns exciting and fantastic. Eleven feels happy to care about and want someone so much, and Mike conveys what he struggles to say with kisses- so very many kisses.
Unfortunately, that love language resulted in a new rule on the doorway. Whoops.Series

Summary
When Mike and El break up at the end of the summer before leaving for separate colleges, it’s Mike’s idea. He doesn’t want to hold her back with long distance. He wants her to experience college freely, even if it means letting her go.
Unfortunately, nobody warned him that watching his ex thrive on Instagram while pretending not to stalk her profile would be its own special kind of torture.
Now Mike’s finding increasingly pathetic excuses to text her every time she posts, and El (much to his frustration and relief) always texts him back.
