Two years after the world believed Eleven had died, Mike Wheeler still feels her presence. No proof. No answers. Just a promise he can't let go of. When he finally decides to follow it, he doesn't know whether he's chasing the truth-or his own hope. Far away, Eleven lives in silence, convinced that disappearing was the only way to protect the people she loves. This is a story about choosing belief without guarantees. About love that survives distance, fear, and time. And about finding each other again - not through luck, but through determination.

WHAT IF: Mike puts a test to his theory that El is alive It has been two years after everyone parted their ways to live their lives. Two years Vecna was defeated. Two years Mike still yearned for her. Trying to live the best he can in his life. Still believing in his theory. That she lives in a faraway land called home. It's unknown if this theory is proven but it all changes when Mike's book is bought by one person internationally from somewhere far away. [mileven] (stranger things) {poster by imsolarly}
