Wherein El Hopper, secret telekinetic skydiving instructor meets Mike Wheeler, a terrified 25th birthday boy on his first skydiving jump. Also known as a mega random meet-cute no one ever asked for!

Now that marriages (engagements) have formed, and kids are in the picture, it's important that the Losers and the Party keep the fun going, now that all paranormal bullshit is out of the way. Not to say there aren't any bad times, because no one's lives are perfect, but they do their bests to have fun and live life like they were meant to do. Other pairings: Reddie, Billverly, etc

As he waited for her to get back from the lab Mike felt like c complete emotional wreck. How could he survive losing her again after only having her back for half an hour? He didn't think he could. Mileven set in after Eleven closes the gate.

A collection of original, adorable, and emotional Mileven moments I envisioned, that occur before other unknown villains and monsters from season 3 interfere with their lives! Sometimes I will include other characters in the plot. Rated T for some strong language and making out. Enjoy! (P.S. If you like what you see, feel free to leave a comment! They are very much appreciated.)

El destroyed the demogorgon, but in doing so, closed the gate behind her. As time passed, everyone seemed to move on, but not Mike Wheeler. He knows she's still out there, trapped in that terrible place, and he will stop at nothing to bring her home. Post S1 - The Long Search AU

Hopper's POV on watching El and Mike's relationship blossom. Chapter's will switch between Hopper's view point and Mike and El's, but will be based off of the same scenes. So, this is a multiple one shot story, and I am happily looking for some suggestions on scenes as Mike and El grow throughout the years. Please see the first chapter for more details, I suck at explaining!

Stranger Things Gang AU. Hawkins is incredibly different in this story. For the teenagers, it's normal to carry knives as a threat. During a midnight party that gets way out of hand, Mike Wheeler, aka Troy's Punching Bag, meets the brilliantly weird El Hopper. It ends catastrophically.

Jane "Eleven" Hopper needs a place to stay, ASAP, and none other than her soon to be step brother Will Byers helps her out. El definitely didn't expect to be moving into a house with five other people, let alone fall in love with the tall, curly haired musician. Modern day, college AU (Originally posted on AO3.)

This picks up right where we left off in Eloquent Abilities. Follow Mike on his three year journey with Kail, without his friends and family, as he discovers more about his abilities and meets other experiments in the bunker. He's right to be paranoid, it isn't over until all the 'bad men' are gone. That includes the one and only Martin Brenner and The Projects.

Jane Hopper has been depressed ever since the death of her little sister. Mike Wheeler has been anxious since the day he was born. They have been each other's number one support system for about a year and a half. Only they've never met. Or seen a picture of one another. They don't even know each other's names. Modern Mileven AU.

El is finally allowed to see her friends- she still can't go out, though- after closing the gate, but as long as she's got her friends with her, she'll be fine. Mike finally has El back, but he's not that same happy little boy he was back in '83. Sure, he's happy that El is back in his life, but he still has his moments.

When Hawkins High School's bad girl Elizabeth "El" Hopper fails one test too many, she's told she will not graduate with her class if she keeps it up. How much will her grades, and her life, change when Mike Wheeler, AV club President and King of the Nerds, takes on the challenge of tutoring her? AU. Rated T.

Eleven is a badass telekinetic, secret Disney lover hiding undercover in Chicago with her fellow Hawkins Lab escapee Kali and their gang of misfits. Mike Wheeler is a clumsy lovable nerd who gets mugged and finds himself being rescued by said badass telekinetic Disney loving girl. He wants to make it through life unscathed and she wants romance. Will they find the answer together?

It's 1798 and mysterious creatures have invaded England, Will and Eleven have escaped the horror on the ship, H.M.S Hawk. Will and Eleven, disguised as a boy, try to find their way on this new adventure. But, El finds herself falling in love with fellow ships boy, Mike, who thinks she's a boy. Friendship, love and adventure awaits. MILEVEN FLUFF! Story is better than description!

Mike leaves for college, and El stays in Hawkins. The long-distance thing works out, for a time, until a positive pregnancy test turns their world upside down. They'll figure it out, because that's what they always do. How hard can parenting be, really? Turns out, pretty damn hard.

An alternative life in Hawkins. El Ives is a cute little goofball with a crush on Mike Wheeler. She's funny, loving, hyper, fun... and... well. Lonely. Mike Wheeler is your typical popular douchebag with a big ego. Mike's a tutor El's a student. El comes from a broken home while Mike's is slowly falling apart. I'm bad at summaries. Sorry.

El Hopper is surprised to find herself the center of attention when — after forgetting her cell phone in the locker rooms — her private texts with a contact known only as 'Waffle Boy' are posted all over the school. It doesn't take long for rumors to start spreading, and soon enough everybody is trying to unmask her mystery boyfriend. / Longer summary inside. (Three-shot.)

(Prompt: Red wine-stained lips.) The deep red liquid continues sloshing around in his glass, a couple of droplets trickling down over the rim where Mike's lips had just been pressed. (Suddenly, she wishes she were made of glass; fragile and pure and kissed by one Mike Wheeler.)

Mike Wheeler is a boy who cannot sleep. And his nightmares are getting worse.

It was the third day of Christmas break, but he still couldn't stop thinking about her. He knew it was (probably) unhealthy, but he didn't care. He simply had to see her. He formulates a plan, then takes action. (Was initially rated M, moved down to T. Any particularly offensive chapters will get their own 'story'.)

Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. "You can sleep, it's okay," he told her. "Stay?" "Of course I'll stay." "Promise?" "Promise." / Or what happened after El closed the gate.

El really didn't want to be stuck here doing this job, but she really needed the money and this was all she could get on such short notice.

(Paperman AU. Oneshot.) When down-on-his-luck Mike Wheeler meets the girl of his dreams by chance, he crafts a fleet of paper airplanes in order to catch her attention.

This is the sequel to We need her. It tells the stories of the characters growing up with not only normal people complications but of course, interdimensional problems along the lines of abilities and monsters. 2nd part of 3 part story, made for fun and angst haha

Sometimes its the strangest things that lead you to where you belong. A Mileven/Paperman AU

Mike figured the day he and his friends got invited to a party was the day the world was going to end. That day happened in October of his junior year. In the basement of Jennifer Hayes' house a game of spin the bottle is the catalyst for change in his life in a completely unexpected way. The first change being Jane Hopper. COMPLETE

(Standalone oneshot.) Meet-cute AU: He's stacking shelves the first time he sees her — the cute girl with the curly hair and a love of Eggo waffles. A week later, she becomes the sole owner of Mike Wheeler's whole heart. Then all it takes is an embarrassing run-in and a Christmas song, and suddenly they're soulmates.

AU: Mike starts work at a part time job in a gas station. A girl fills up every night before closing time. They get to talking. Mileven fluff with a wee bit of angst.

AU. Mike is forced to move to Hawkins and leave his old friends behind. He wasn't happy about it. He met new friends and he meets El. This story follows Mike and El's relationship through the years. Mileven fluff.

A series of one shots created specially for Mileven Week 2018. Every one shot is unique, but all of them celebrate the love and beautiful ship that is Mileven. Day 3: Mike and El were childhood sweethearts, boyfriend and girlfriend until El was forced to move to California in freshman year. They haven't seen each other in 14 years. Enter Cupid Will and Hawkins High School Reunion.

*Discontinued* I'm currently in the process of rewriting this story! It'll be "Home: Remastered" so be on the look out!

In which El is stuck at home with a cold missing Mike while Mike is miles away missing her.

Just a little drabble inside of El's mind as she rides home from Chicago to save the boy who saved her. Mileven.

"Don't get my order wrong!" Calls the redhead from their seats, smirking. Mike rolls his eyes and huffs exasperatedly. "I've never gotten her order wrong in my life," he says, looking at El and shaking his head. She plasters on her customer service smile and replies, "That'll be six eighty-nine, please."

Autumn, 1985: Instead of another D&D Friday at Mike's, Max decides to host a murder mystery party this weekend. Everyone's dressing up and trying to get into character for the game, while Dustin has to navigate through some problems of his own, and while Mike is looking for the right opportunity to tell Eleven something pretty important. Fluff, mostly.

"She's not Sara." Hopper said, sniffing. He brushed at his eyes, and forced himself to meet Joyce's worried, tired eyes. "She's not Sara, but . . ." He paused, searching for words. There were so many things he ought to say, but he'd never been one for grand soliloquies. "Sometimes I feel like the universe is giving me a second chance, you know?"

(Standalone, AU oneshot.) With a storm heading his way, college kid Mike Wheeler plans on having a quiet weekend. But his plans are thwarted when, by chance, he finds a strange girl out on his balcony; sporting only an 'I Heart Indianapolis' t-shirt and a set of wings. Offering her a towel and taking her in was one thing - but then she started talking about angels and soulmates...

"So breathe me in so deep. Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep..." The two of them dancing through life together, as they had been since the beginning. PG, romance/fluff, post-S2, Mike/Eleven.

A week after the Snow Ball El finds herself overwhelmed by references and quotes to movies that she doesn't understand or know. Desperate to impress Mike before the party's first sleepover she seeks out Max for help in learning about 1980's Pop Culture. Contains Elmax friendship, Mileven and Lumax fluff, and poor Hopper being repeatedly told off by one Maxine Mayfield.

a series of sad and/or angsty interconnected oneshots.

"I should've never volunteered for this shit!" In a flash, El's by his side. "What's wrong, bug?" He glares at the wall in front of him before answering, aggressively whisking the eggs. "Brenda is what's wrong! God, why did I get myself into this? I'm not even that good at baking!"

Missing moments requested from The Life You Deserve, a coming of age story that followed Mike, El and the party through their adolescence and into their adult lives. It is highly recommended to read TLYD first to understand these one-shots, but it should still make sense without doing so. Rated M for the three chapters that will contain Smut. There will be a prior warning.

In which high school students Mike, Lucas, Max, Dustin, and Will need a new lead singer for their classic-rock garage band. They hold auditions, but only one student tries out: El, the new loner kid from Chicago. What follows? Romance, friendship, drama, Yoko-Onoing, and one hell of a start to Junior year.

People treat Will like some kind of spectacle whenever he steps back into Hawkins, Indiana. Will hides out in his old childhood bedroom with Mike and El, feeling safer and loved. /Canon AU. Standalone.

Stranger Things stories based on songs :) Ratings from K to T, canon ships, lots of fluffiness and the usual tiny overdose of Mileven.

Mike Wheeler was a little afraid of Jane Hopper, but that was only really because Dustin didn't know where to stop when discussing rumours. OR She stabbed a kid with a screwdriver and feels exactly zero remorse.

AU: A worldwide epidemic has decimated the population. As far as Mike knows, he's the only one left alive in Hawkins. He decides to make a journey to the west coast. Mike isn't sure he will ever will meet anyone else. The journey is being followed from a distance by a quiet, shy girl. [There will be mileven.]

Mileven modern day college AU inspired by Finn's new film Dog Days. Two shot. The story of how ordering a pizza because El and Max are too lazy to cook ends up with El falling in love with the Pizza Boy. A story of one night, love at first sight, multiple pizza orders and a bundle of awkward flirting and fluff. Rated T for cursing and awkward sexual innuendos.

On a cold Saturday morning, Eleven receives an unexpected visitor at the cabin

AU. Mike has strange secret that keeps him from having any friends. That includes the girl he can't stop looking at: El Hopper, or any of her friends known in Hawkins middle as The Party. El desperately wants to get to know Mike, but he won't give her the time of the day. Will Mike finally decide that El is worth sharing his secret with? Is there even a possibility of mileven :)

He'd been called every name in the book: No-Leaf Clover, Black Cat, Captain Catastrophe, Star Crossed (he had Grandma Wheeler to thank for that outdated term. His inexplicable bad luck was a trait Mike desperately hoped he'd grow out of. He hadn't, of course. - Modern Day / No Powers AU (Two-shot!)

AU. Mike is in a terrible crash. Off duty paramedic El Hopper is the first on scene. She saves Mike and follows the ambulance to the hospital. Mike won't wake up. She is training to be a Physio Therapist, and Mike will be her first assignment. El learns about Mike and falls in love with him. Will she give up on Mike or wait for him to wake up?

A coming of age story focusing on El and Mike, their friends and family as they go through the ups and downs of adolescence. Takes place right after El closes the gate and will follow the party as they struggle through teenage and adult life. Rated Mature for future Smut. *Winner of Best Romance Story in the Stranger Things Levoes Awards (Thank you SO much!)*

Complete! "If you got a second chance, no matter how crazy the circumstances, would you take it?" "Yes" At 16, Mike and El were torn from each other due to a resurgence of Brenner's project. Seven years later, Mike finally moved on. But a chance encounter on a New York City train throws them together again at the best and worst possible time, completely changing their trajectories.

You know all those 'watching the show/movies' or 'reading the books' fics out there? Well, here's one. The citizens of Hawkins, Indiana did not expect to be abducted by a goddess, informed that they were fictional characters, and forced to watch their own TV show. Nor did they expect the secrets they were shown. But there's no turning back. Run by OCs. The Party has powers.

Mike Wheeler didn't realise how much he needed her until she was gone. He knows that she's out there and he is going to do anything it takes to make her happy. But once he finds her, things take a turn for the worse and he finds himself in a hopeless nightmare. Complete!

Bev is excited to introduce all her Loser Club friends to her friends in Hawkins, hoping for them to have a successful trip and a good summer. But things don't go to plan when an unwelcome being shows up as well. A being the Loser Club thought they had seen the last of… DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Stranger Things or IT (Novel or movies)! Rated T for language!

El Hopper, star of the Hawkins High track team, is on a quest to make friends with the resident AV Club members. Friendship and eventual romance. 80s High School / No Powers AU

When a mysterious new girl moves to Hawkins from Chicago, it's all eyes on her. With her patched up leather jackets, slicked back hair, dark rimmed eyes, and a constant scowl, El Hopper is a total punk rocker, the likes of which Hawkins has never seen. She preaches about the radical underground revolution she left behind, and she opens up the minds of those around her.

"Will reaches up and strokes his fingers across her cheek. El pulls away and turns to Mike with charcoal streaked across her skin, and Mike wipes it away before he leans down and hugs Will too. He comes away with a smear of charcoal across his wrist. He doesn't wipe it away." Or: Mike&El&Will in high school, being sweet and in love. Uh, that's it, that's the plot.

In Chicago, Mike crosses paths with a bartender that seems to know him. Unfortunately, he's having a hard time remembering her. (Mileven bartender!au because why not)

He was just surviving. He didn't care about anyone and anything, until the day someone changed it.

Eleven didn't know a whole lot about relationships. But then again, neither did Mike. It's just something they had to figure out together. A collection of Mileven drabbles (proceed with caution: deadly amounts of fluff). Ch.13: Mike realizes it's been exactly one month since Eleven disappeared

The classroom door opened and a girl Mike had never seen before walked in. She did a once over of the room, her gaze landing on the free seat only a few feet in front of his own. Their eyes met and Mike's cheeks instantly started to burn, embarrassed that she had caught him starring. Mileven high school AU COMPLETE

It's quiet now, not a sound to be heard, not even the crunching of snow underneath a person's feet. Snow began falling again, even heavier now, covering up the tracks that had once been there. And Michael Wheeler was gone... Rated T for language!

SEQUEL OF HAWKINS HIGH SCHOOL 1985* Jane Hopper is done with her first semester at school. Winter break means more time with her boyfriend Mike and their friends. Mileven, Lumax, Jopper, and Jancy. Less plot driven than HHS1985, more focused on characterization and fluff

It's the gang's first summer all together, and Mike can't wait to show El all that it has to offer. Mileven, probably gonna be a slow burn because it's going to be a coming of age romance with all the awkwardness that comes along with it. Currently T rated, may or may not change. Please read, review and enjoy!

Jane Hopper enrolls in Hawkins High School, and all seems normal for a while... Realistic, but still fluffy. Post-season 2. Everyone's normal life in 1985... or maybe not so normal. Mileven heavy. Spoilers. COMPLETED

The gate has been closed, Will has been cured, and the girl who has been haunting Mike's dreams for a year is back. Everything is back to normal. Everything is perfect. There's just one burr: Mike and Eleven are madly in love and it's obvious to everyone except each other. Takes place before the 1 month later epilogue in Season 2.

The sequel to Kissing Cousins.

Eleven is not so fond of Shakespeare – at least not until she has a studying session with Mike discovering a new, romantic side she hadn't ever seen.

Mr. Clarke at the Snow Ball.

Mess with her Eggos or her Mike—then face the wrath of Eleven.

All of Hawkins knows that something's up with Mike Wheeler. He is suffering, and El is suffering too. Only Jim Hopper is able to see both sides.

When El invites Mike to spend the day at the cabin, Hopper finds himself supervising a sleepover he didn't sign up for. Two-shot.

If it means she hates him, that's okay. If she says he's just like Papa, that's fine. If she never comes out of her room again, it'll be okay. If her hatred is the price he must pay to keep Eleven alive, he'll pay it. He loves her more than he could have imagined he could love anyone since Sarah died. He'll keep her safe if she kills him.

Before, El didn't know any good people, or things she liked, or touches that didn't hurt. Things are much different now. Much better.

El is having an off day.

There were many things that El was still learning about Mike. However, being one to talk in his sleep was something she was not expecting.

"Jane." She came again. "My name."

"It's easy to understand El," Mike said, indignantly. "She always tells people exactly what she means, you guys just don't listen properly." Karen (with a little help from Mike) learns how to communicate with her newest houseguest. Karen/El bonding and Mileven sweetness.

Eleven makes an omelet for Mike's mom. (I'm still practicing writing stories about them). Mileven crushing. Just a little fluffy flashfic.
