   Summary

   In the summer of 1985, (but before dustin comes home and season 3 starts) Eleven has dumped Mike and with Max's help, she writes Dustin letters talking about her summer. He writes back, and slowly they fall into a rhythm and almost.. something sweet. Mike on the other hand, isn't taking the break up well, and when Lucas is hanging out with Max or away... the only person he can talk to is Will.

    

   (This is a Canon divergence in which the Russians don't come to Hawkins, and the Mind Flayer fails to flay anyone. Everyone's lives are mostly the same as Canon and even *relatively normal*.

    

   (Some of this Fic will be written like letters)
    (AND EL CAN WRITE RELATIVELY WELLAND SOME EVENTS IN THIS ARE CANON INSPIRED)

   (Expect Henderhop ((duh)), byler, lumax, jopper, and stonathan!! ((And Susie, but no Suziexdustin)
