Summary
He knew he had no right to be upset. El was a grown woman, twenty-three years old, and the time apart had done her well, if you asked him. And she had spent so much time alone. It would be wrong to expect her to deny herself pleasure and intimacy—something she so deeply craved—hoping that something, someone, could fill the Mike-shaped hole in her heart.
It was all fair, and despite the jealousy simmering in his blood, he understood.
But male ego was a fragile, fragile thing.
Because if Mike wasn’t her first, then he had to be her best.

Summary
“I’m selfish, El,” Mike blurts, his thumb rubbing circles at the small of her back. “I don’t like other guys looking at you the way I look at you.”
El’s expression softens, a look crossing over her eyes that tightens his throat. He’s relieved that she’s not put off by his selfish, possibly possessive, attitude. “I know,” she says with a light nod. “But I don’t think they look at me the way you look at me.”

Summary
Here's the thing: Mike didn't always believe. Not all the time, not every day.
When he awoke at the hospital, hooked to a host of chirping machines, there was a nurse at his bedside. She said that he had suffered complications from severe shock and his heart had stopped for two and a half minutes. If his sister hadn't performed textbook-perfect CPR on him at the scene, he'd probably be dead.
Mike closed his eyes. His last thought before drifting into unconsciousness again had been: You should have let me go with her, Nancy.

Summary
This series explores the key milestones in Mike and El’s intimacy journey. It explores how intimacy develops between two people who have been bonded since childhood — growing up side by side, learning trust, and discovering each other in new ways.
Set in quiet, private moments between canon events. Naturally, it will get more explicit as the chapters go on and Mike and El grow up.
Dates/ timing are stated in each chapter. Please read in order and there will be chains linking them. Not sure how many there’ll be but at least 4-5 chapters I believe.
