#milevenweek

                            It’s time! Mileven Week is three days away!

From the 6th until the 12th of November 2020, join us in celebrating all things Mike & El with a special week dedicated solely to them.

Want to fill the Stranger Things-sized void in your soul, or distract yourself from… *cough, cough* other things happening in the world this month? Both are easily fixable by adding some Mileven into your life.

You’ve got three days (plus the entirety of Mileven Week) to create something and participate! There are no set daily themes this year, but if you need some inspiration, check out some of the themes submitted for previous Mileven Weeks:

Adulting,Bookstore AU,Christmas (shopping),Cuddling/naps,Double date,Facetime/video chat,Featuring Steve,First jobs/working,(High school) Party,Hopper’s retirement party,Lost in translation,Movie AU,Musical instruments,Natural disaster,Next door neighbors AU,On a mission,Pets,Prom/Homecoming,Rejection,Reunion,Scars,Soulmate AU,Stargazing,Thanksgiving,Yard sale

Choose any or all of these themes for your Mileven Week entries or you can even go with a completely different idea not listed here. All your fanworks are welcome this year! Be it fanfiction, fanart, edits, fan videos, cosplay, headcanons, even essays. You can use any possible interpretation of the themes, and once Friday rolls around in your time zone, just post them (or link to them) on Tumblr using the tag #MilevenWeek2020, and one of the admins will reblog them to the official Mileven Week blog so that more people get the chance to see them. We’ll be doing this all week!

Please reblog and share this post so that other fans can see it! If you have any questions about how this is all going to work, be sure to check our AboutandFrequently Asked Questions pages, or feel free to ask the admins directly. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Happy Mileven Week everyone! I have written a one-shot for this great event, if you’re interested in reading it the links are at the bottom :-) 

Day 1 - Long Distance

                                  The Letters From My Heart 

For 353 days Mike calls to El.

His heart hoping even just for a sign that she’s out there, that she missed him too. That she’s yearning as well for the love they have lost.

El is crumbling every time she watches Mike calling out for her. Hopper knows he’s days away from El being captured if she keeps trying to leave the cabin to see Mike.

He has to do something. Something that will work as an outlet for El to outpour her emotions and feelings for Mike.

“Remember when we started history lessons and I told you about the different world wars?”

El nodded in understanding but didn’t speak, still sniffling as she tried to calm her breathing.

“Okay so in the war, soldiers went months and months without communication from their family and partner.”

“What did they do?” El hiccupped, wiping her wet cheeks with the sleeve of her soft cream and pink pyjamas.

“They wrote letters to each other. They wrote about how they missed each other and what they had been doing.”

For 353 days El writes to Mike.
