Summary
Will's happy. She makes him happy. So Mike should be happy for him. Right?
"I'm glad they get along so well," Vickie said softly by his side, "I think Robin really gets your friend, Will, was it? Sees herself in him. If you… know what I mean?"
Mike didn't.
-
Will and Robin start hanging out all the time. Mike is completely fine with that.
He’s also completely fine with the increasingly pointed love songs on the radio, the talk of a mysterious plan to win somebody over, and the fact that he's sure it has absolutely nothing to do with him.

Summary
“Do you remember what I said to you… when I first visited you in the hospital?”
“You’re going to have to be more specific.”
There it was again, that patronizing, not Will tone.
Mike’s breath hitched. “When I said… that I am sick like you.”
Will hummed as if to indicate he was thinking about it, but to Mike it seemed insincere.
“Well, now that we both know this, maybe we should just carry on.”
“Don’t you want to talk about it? You never told me what you thought about my letter.”
Will sighed irritably, “We’re here, together, isn’t that enough for you?”
Mike’s stomach tightened. Enough was enough.
“It would be. But you’re not Will.”

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
Christine had precisely zero interest in relationships. None whatsoever. However, she finds herself quickly needing a "long-term partner" to accompany her to a family wedding, and is forced to cash in her one free favor given to her by a stranger when she saved his ass on her walk home.
Her new "boyfriend" is a lot to handle, but she is nothing if not persistent and stubborn, and she would be caught dead before admitting she had been lying to her family for months.
So much for her peaceful, solitary life I guess.

Mike bleeds out, slowly, in Will's arms. Just enough energy to say the words he's always meant to say.

Summary
After effectively preventing the end of the world, everyone is trying to figure out what "normal" means to them. The party, on the brink of young adulthood, is still going strong. Mike Wheeler is still reeling from it all, and trying to escape is his only way of processing (or avoiding, more accurately). The party is starting to notice his detachment and sulky tendencies amplifying, but Mike has never been the best at sharing his true feelings. Even to who it matters to the most.
-
Or: The one where Mike's internal struggles start to seep into his outside life, and there's only one person who can pull him from the darkness that's overtaking him.

Summary
The Eye and the Hand of Vecna are living conduits through which Vecna perceives and manipulates the boundary between worlds: the Eye senses proximity, truth, and emotional resonance, while the Hand endures pain to translate that awareness into action. Together, they form a closed circuit; one that allows Vecna not just to observe, but to teach, conditioning his chosen vessels through suffering and attention rather than control.
------
After the battle at the Mac-Z, Will can feel Vecna again- not control, not visions, just pressure. Proximity. While the rest of the remaining Hawkins group are desperately trying to contact the Upside Down, Mike begins to notice a far more dangerous pattern: the closer he gets to answers, to Will, the more his body reacts. Pain becomes feedback.While the group scrambles to figure out what to do next, the reality of what Vecna has in store is subtler and crueler than they ever could've expected. Now that his connection to Will has changed, he needs to shift his method of control.
Mike has a devastating combination of a savior complex and confusion around his own feelings, especially when it comes to Will; this makes him the perfect target.

Summary
starts at the end of s5 vol 1
Mike Wheeler is dead. Or, should be, dead.
It was supposed to be his body that laid down lifelessly; likely missing a limb or two after getting mauled by a demogorgon heading his way. Mike doesn't believe in miracles, nor coincidences but he sure does believe in his best friend, Will Byers. Going as far as saying the only thing he is sure of from this world is the unwavering trust he has for him.
Or, even when Will is possessed Mike trusts him enough to not fight back. Which can both be incredibly brave or terribly idiotic. Or, both. Maybe, both. Definitely, both.
Oh, and also, Mike gets Vecna’d and Will with his new found confidence tries his best to find their way back together.

“What?” Mike was still trying to comprehend what Max was saying, his brain running late to the words. He turned to his roommate, seeking help, “Lucas?”
But Lucas only sighed, “Hey man, when I heard it from Max the first time, I was confused too, but it makes a lot of sense.”
or
Mike tries to come out of his introverted comfort zone, realizing something all his friends already knew.

Summary
Mike knelt on the church altar, willing.
From this angle, Will looked divine, like an angel, haloed by the light of holy candles. He was stood in the middle of the isle, his eyes as white as paper. The angle of the glow masked part of his face in shadow as he walked towards him. They never took their eyes off of each other, and Mike looked up at his best friend like he were about to pray to him for his salvation. He licked his lips. Will was an angel, indeed — an angel of death.
Mike's breath caught in his throat. He was beautiful. The emotion of that thought hit him in the chest.
"You wanna hurt me, don't you?" He said, his voice low. "Come on then. Hurt me. I can take it."
Will circled him for a moment, his steps like cracking whips echoing through the church. He stopped in front of him and bent until they were at eye level. He held Mike's face in his hand from cheek to cheek. Mike's lips puckered without even noticing. Will punched him square in the face.
Mike heard the impact before he felt it, as he struggled to keep himself on his knees. He coughed profusely as pain bloomed from his nose.
"Fuck, just like that." Mike said, breath heavy. "Again."

Will took in a shuddering breath. “Am I what, Mike?”
“Are you my boyfriend?”

“I kind of lost myself trying to be who I thought I was supposed to be in that relationship,” he admitted, the gravity of his honesty hanging heavily in the air. “So when she broke up with me,” Mike said, exhaling deeply as if releasing a breath he had been holding for too long, “I think I’m just… starting to let myself feel again. To do what I want. To figure out who I really am.”

Summary
I wish you’d draw me more often, not because you had to– because you wanted to. I wish you'd draw me as much as I write about you.
That’s all.Being afraid was nothing to be ashamed of in Hawkins, as the supernatural caused quite the ruckus at all times, especially for the Party. But Mike had began to experience something new, something much more terrifying than any other monster he had faced up until now: himself. He was simple, he was no fun. Not until he realised the feelings that had been brewing within him for so long. Vecna would have had no interest in him had it not been impossible for him not to fall in love with Will Byers.
OR
Vecna realises that Mike is in love with Will before anyone else, and makes sure to torture him in every way possible. But Will isn’t entirely oblivious, and neither is Nancy.

Summary
“And if you were-” Mike swallowed hard, the words ripping out of him, painful, slurred, and honest in a way he’d never let himself be sober, “I just wish you were a girl.”
Will froze.
Mike kept going, unable to stop himself now, like the admission opened the flood gates. “It’d be so much easier if you were a girl. Everything would make sense. No one would question anything. I wouldn’t have to feel like… like I’m wrong.”
--
Mike and Will have kept their relationship tightly locked behind closed doors. But when they decide to start a youtube channel with Lucas and Dustin, fans notice how close the two seem to be. And the spotlight on the relationship Mike isn't ready to be public deepens a crack between them.

Summary
Queens is far colder than everyone had ever told Mike. It’s cold, dreary, windy, and to make matters worse, there is some snow that’s started to fall. His coat is barely warm enough, ironic since he is from the mid west.
His hands are turning a little red, and they sting as his raps on what he hopes is the right door. How they were able to afford this place is a mystery to Mike. The door itself looks large and heavy, he cannot even imagine the inside.
