Summary
On New Year’s Eve of 1990, Mike accidentally contributes to the rapid progression of the little game he and Will have been playing for the past year and a half. It’s then that he realizes that he has to straighten himself up before the clock strikes twelve and he’s stuck being the same yearning loser he’s been forever.
When the Party gets to their chosen celebration of the night, Mike makes an attempt to get drunk enough to get his mind off the thing he can’t ever seem to forget about and enjoy the atmosphere.
But when he sees a stupid frat guy flirting with Will, the familiar jealousy bubbles in his gut, and he stands alone with his thoughts until he gives up on the entire notion of moving on. Then Will finds him sulking outside, and the game starts to progress in a direction that neither of them are prepared to take.

Summary
For the past two weeks, Mike has been having these weird dreams that make him relive his past trauma and plant fear for new ones. Not to mention the intense headaches and nosebleeds. He'll be fine, right? Well, he better be, because he hasn't told a single soul and doesn't plan on changing that.
Maybe he wants everything to not be fine.
One night, he goes to the kitchen and runs into none other than Will. Yeah, okay, let's see how he handles talking to the root of his problems when he was just spiraling about it all.

Summary
“Anyway, back to the whole hive mind thing, I’m just glad Robin was able to get me out of that basement. My mom has been hovering for an eternity now, and Robin was finally able to get me out of her sight. If it weren’t for that, we never would have been able to discover what we did.”
Mike has to fight the urge to scowl and maybe even fake gag at the mention of Robin. Why is it always her? All she did was lie to Joyce about some shit from Back to the Future and all of a sudden Will is praising her like some saint?
On the bright side, that gives him a chance to casually bring her up. The hard part is trying not to sound like a petty idiot when he does.
or
mike is a jealous little biach of a lesbian but he doesn't know that lmao

Summary
“Also, I’m sorry for messing up your lie about the painting. Mike thanked me for it, and I gave it away because I was clueless about it. I would have tried to keep it up if I knew.”
There’s a sudden ringing in Will’s ears before everything seems to get too loud and too quiet at the same time. The A/C’s soft hum has become an absolutely deafening thrumming in his brain, but so has the silence that engulfs him. Will’s knees are on the verge of giving up on him and he worries he might topple over, but he’s also too stiff to even move.
Will is still trying to catch his breath but needs to be sure. He needs to be sure he’s hearing this right.
“El. El, what do you mean—,” he slowly blinks and tries to breathe but still struggles, “What do you mean,” he swallows, “you messed up my lie about the painting?”
or
the painting lie is no longer a secret and Will has to navigate his escape from Mike. spoiler: mike is inescapable!

Summary
It hits him when he’s packing her lunch.
Its not the first time he’s done it. It’s the fourth, actually. She’s been here, with him, a little over a week. Nancy, his mom, and his dad have been dead a little over a month now. Holly wants peanut butter and nutella on her sandwich, and he knows for a fact Mom never let her have peanut butter and nutella. Too much sugar. Mom is dead.
He spreads peanut butter on one side. A little less nutella on the other. Wonders if he’s doing this wrong, if Mom had a special way of making sandwiches that he suddenly can’t remember.
Something drips off of his chin. Hits his wrist. Itches a little. Dries there. Oh. He’s crying.
OR
Mike takes custody of Holly after the death of their parents and older sister. He, Will and Holly are all just figuring it out as they go.

And We Kissed As Though Nothing Could Fall by Rogue_Mercury
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Mike had always believed that the moment he’d die, no matter how brutal, he’d feel calm. At peace. A moment of acceptance that this was as far as his story would go. A quiet thing, just for himself, where he’d remember his most precious memories. His most memorable campaigns, sneaking into the movies and sharing popcorn… a blue-and-yellow swingset. He’d seen it in movies, he’d read about it in comics.
Only now that he’d reached this moment, there were so many feelings overflowing, bursting through him like a punch to the gut. It left him completely paralyzed. Horrible fear, grief, pain, and the most intense regret he’d ever felt in his life.
OR: The continuation of the Season 5 Volume 1 Mid-Series Finale starring: Mike's POV, Mike being jealous of Robin, Will dealing with his powers and his newfound confidence, Mike overwhelmed (in the best way) by said newfound confidence, flirty but shy Byler, nerdy flirting, churchgate, and just generally ALL the Byler scenes I wanted to see happen in Vol 2 and 3 (we were robbed).

Summary
“What? No! I mean — I just meant—“ said Mike, struggling with the words, “I… I mean… who is it?” he turned back to Hugo, “Can we know their name? It might be somebody we know already.”
Will frowned, “I hope it’s not,” he said, “I don’t like anybody we know enough to marry them — except our friends, obviously, but that’s different.”
Hugo, if it was even possible, looked somehow immensely more excited by these words, “I can’t tell you who it is,” he giggled, “That’s a really big spoiler.”
Mike Wheeler’s son arrives in Hawkins with no explanation, snapped back in time entirely by accident — and he latches on to none other than Will Byers. If only they all knew why.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.
