Vanished

AU- NO POWERS. She left Hawkins without a word. He waited, and waited, and broke in her absence. Now, she's back.

Eleanor "El" left Hawkins years ago, and in her absence, Mike spiraled. Once the boy everyone counted on, he's now a loose cannon - reckless, guarded, and teetering on the edge of a life he doesn't want to live.

El thought returning home would fix things - but some fractures can't be mended. Now, she must face the boy she once loved before he destroys himself completely... or before she loses him again.

A story of anger, guilt, and the dangerous pull of a love that never truly ended.
