#milevenweek 2022 ↳ day three: alternate universe

summary: "Her countenance was that of someone unwavering in her conviction, but her eyes gleamed. She looked as only El could: destructive and vulnerable all at once." / Mike attempts to help El escape from the lab, but she requires some convincing. Alternative ending to Season 4.

a/n: happy third day of mileven week! I wrote this ficlet immediately following the release of the st4 trailer, but never posted it (tumblr and I were in an "off again" period at the time). I thought it fit today's theme. I hope you enjoy!

Hi! I’m so happy you’re back - I used to follow you way back when, when I was more of a lurker than someone present in the fandom, so it’s so cool that we’re mutuals now. I’ve always loved your takes and I absolutely adore your writing. I hope you enjoy being back, despite the madness of fandom! 💕

Hi love!! Wowww this is such a kind message, thank you SO much, it's v cool to hear that! I was just looking through your blog and admiring how thoughtful and articulate you are, and thinking how glad I am to have found your blog this early on into my (possibly ill-fated) Tumblr re-emergence. Very happy to be mutuals and happy that you ended up joining the fandom in a more present way!💕
