This is an amazing story. El found truly brilliant names for her cats.

When I started this, I imagined El would just wind up asking Mike to name them, after all, he gave El her name and she loved it the minute she heard it. But El has learned so much and grown as a person, it makes sense that she would need to do this herself.

Hope you are staying safe and doing well under the current crisis.

More Dustin and Hopper interaction :) so good!

H

This was very heartwarming!

a nice long read. i like it. very cool how you got el to play DnD and she's still sassy like in the show

This was very sweet! But hold on, we don't get to know what Eleven wrote about Mike? Does that mean there will be continuation of this someday? Hope so!

That was adorable and made me so happy! It's incredible how you turned a story about naming kittens into such an amazing piece, you captured everything I love about the show, thank you!

Beautiful. Like all your (ridiculously long, but we love that) connected oneshots, this story touched me, and I adore it. Thank you very much for this, I might just go and read all your other one-shots :)

This was absolutely wonderful! I found myself actually laughing aloud at several points. Eleven (you) came up with perfect names for the kittens, though I can imagine the playful antics of Hank and Steve's-Hair.

It's great to see a story from you! I've missed your writing! And it was excellent as always, you're awesome at accurately capturing everyones personalities. Each and every Mike and Eleven part made me super happy. Especially when she accidentally asked him something in her head and he answered out loud. THEY'RE SO FREAKING ADORABLE.

Thanks for an update in your universe. Its my fave :)

Welcome back! And what a wonderful story this was! I absolutely love it! I do like how Mike is still adjusting to his life with Eleven; even though they're reunited and together he's still traumatized from the ordeal of the demagorgon and missing her for 353 days. It's realistic and well placed anxiety. Eleven is just reveling in the new feeling of happiness and doesn't have time to think of anything else which I adore.

The way you write the boys is on point. It's super believable and very canon. Their personalities shine here and I applaud you for your talent!

Fantastic! I loved it all. I really liked Mike noticing El was gone and panicking, Steve's hair, Nancy and the baby book, and El, Max, and Dustin derailing Mike's game.

You really bring them all to life in a way no other fanfic author has, to my knowledge.

YESSSS okay this was perfect and I'm so glad you made another story in this lovely wonderful series that i love to the moon and back

Also that mobius strip reference gave me some life. I wish everyone understood elusive math references. How wonderful would that life be?

Also I totally thought El was gonna name one of her cats Bandit okay xD

I have to say Dustin really makes the chapter. He is hilarious. I love his wit and sarcastic behavior. Fully agree that kitty hair balls are gross. I've dealt with them many times. I love your mixture of humor and seriousness; like when Mike panicked becsuse El wasnt by his side. Little reminders of how he felt when he lost her. The line about them being like animals that make a home when you feed them was funny. And so true. Steve's hair has got a reputation for ... MIKE used his money to buy a baby name book. In that town, that could cause some interesting rumors. Haha. Nancy! Lol.
He wrote Eleven's name in the baby book. That is too freaking adorable and sweet. And finally the kitties have official names. They can just hold onto the baby name book for WAY DOWN the road...
Now I'm curious if people are going to start congratulating Karen and she's going to be completely clueless. Haha!

I giggled so hard! The cats Mike and the book it was all so lovely!
