Summary
Author Mike Wheeler is renowned for his adventurous coming-of-age stories that are found on the shelves of any Young Adult section of a bookstore - whether it be in a bustling city or the quiet, closed-knit community of Hawkins, Indiana. And if there’s one thing his readers have learned to count on, it’s his signature charm of always writing a happy ending.
But there was just one story he couldn’t finish, no matter where he travelled: the one of the Storyteller and the Mage.
“I know what you’re really doing all this for. It’s time to let her go, kid,” Hopper breathed shakily through the phone. “She would want you to find your happy ending, too.”
Mike clenched his jaw before grunting in agreement wordlessly. He knew Hopper meant well - he knew everyone meant well - but he just couldn’t help himself. No matter how stubborn or idiotic he looked, he just couldn't give up. He would keep searching.
Because he still believed.
An epilogue love letter for the Mileven community who ached for the post-credit scene that Mike and Eleven deserved.

Summary
It's been two years since Juliana had left Kitakami. She quelled the mighty titans with Arven, defeated Team Star with Penny, and even became a Paldean champion throughout the years alongside Nemona. And now, Director Clavell presented her with a new adventure: an early "trial run" of the Blueberry exchange program. As Juliana settles into her life at the Blueberry dorms, she's faced with new, familiar, and hauntingly different faces. What will she do about Kieran, who had a 180 in his personality in their time apart? And how does she even feel about Kieran, anyway?

Summary
The exchange program at Kitakami is coming to a close, which means Juliana's adventures in the small village are officially over. On the other hand, Kieran is absolutely certain the season was the beginning of a new motivation that hadn't been there before. As the upcoming going away celebration draws near, both trainers are faced with the ultimate question as they reflect on their shared adventure:
What do you hold onto when the bridge between you and someone you grew to care for is already ash - the memory of a fateful crossing, or the fire that took it down?

Summary
Juliana feels more out of place in Uva Academy now more than ever. She couldn't understand it. She was an esteemed prodigy, and yet, she was somehow burning out and breaking down, wondering where the next step in her haze will be.
On the other hand, Kieran embraces his certainty: he has recognized that it is his turn to step up for Juliana, and has managed to convince Director Cyrano to allow him to study abroad.
Will the two be able to navigate this new chapter of discovery and companionship as they venture on a joint Treasure Hunt?

Summary
Juliana and Kieran had been through a lot together. They shared moments of joy, sorrow, divide, and eventually unity. But what happened between them that wasn't shown when the Indigo Disk story played out.
Now you get to see for yourself.
My written one-shots for the Indigo Disk Dipplinshipping Week that had been promoted on Tumblr. Don't know how many prompts will be written, but they'll definitely involve our two Champions from Paldea and Blueberry Academy in various bonding situations and more.
