In which El is pretty cool. Mike and the rest of the Party are not. But it just so happens that El needs a tutor. What happens when Mike starts to find out someone "too cool for him" is actually completely different than what he thought she was? Will she bring them up a couple of steps in the social system? Or will she look down on the "nerds" like everyone else? Multi-chap.

AU in which everything remains the same except for one thing: Mike was out of town during the entirety of season 1. When his friends aren't allowed to tell him what really happened while he was gone, their friendship is pushed to its limits. In the meantime, as soon as Eleven catches sight of Mike, she begins to develop a crush.

Post Season 3. Mike and El try to cope with the distance between them.

In which Hopper tells Mike and El the door needs to be open at least three inches, but he never says what they are allowed and aren't allowed to do behind the door. One-shot.
