My boss just did this:

mounted: function () {
    this.background = this.$el.querySelector('.stories-background')
    this.stories = this.$el.parentElement.querySelector('.stories')

— He also delegated everything in a canvas component to requestanimationframe instead of using computed and use requestanimationframe just for rendering
