Summary
Mike plans the post-grad road trip in secret—maps, routes, marking places he thinks El will like. But once they leave, none of it really matters.
They don’t rush, because for once, they don’t need to. For the first time in her life, El gets to stop, breathe, and see everything she’s been missing.
And Mike? He’d drive forever just to see her smile.

Summary
He recognized her idly as a familiar face splashed across front pages and social media, though they had never really interacted before. There was never a reason to. Sure, they shared the same recording studio, but he only knew of her as a vague name and concept. People spoke of her as a natural popstar, as The One to watch, as born for this life.
And truthfully? Mike never quite understood the hype.
Not until now, at least.
💋 or, a showbiz mileven AU about invisible strings, the path to inevitability, and pink handcuffs.

Summary
Neither one of them ever really questions their shared dreams, chalking it up to a combination of El’s powers and their belief that their connection to one another went beyond the physical laws of the universe.
Mike had phrased it that way once, then had laughed, saying, “Although it sounds kind of crazy when I put it like that. It’s easier to just say we’re soulmates.”
El and Mike continue to grow together, sharing dreams of the past and dreams for their future.
