    Summary

    The storm over Mike’s head brews. The gray clouds darken to black as if something’s burning—but there’s no smoke. The ground trembles beneath him, quaking with anger. Overhead, a tornado forms, churning in the sky.

    More than one—a dozen, maybe more—tornadoes form all at once. Mike lets out a cry, not sure if it’s rain or tears streaming down his cheeks. The downpour grows heavier, blurring everything into gray, while the earth shakes harder beneath him. More tornados spin into existence. Strangely, it feels like a weight is being lifted from his shoulders, as if this storm—no, this disaster—is somehow soothing.

    Or after season 2, with the heightened/extreme stress and the pores from the tunnels. Mike awakens his powers, being the first mutant on Earth in X–Men terminology. This can be a fix–it or some kind for the next season maybe…

    (season 3-5 rewrite feat. platonic mileven and will overthinking and getting jealous over nothing)

    Summary

    “Jeez, you really are sick.” Will muttered and Mike choked out a laugh.

    “‘S just my luck.” He murmured, ignoring the way his head spun when he lifted it from the toilet seat.

    Even under the harsh white light of the bathroom, Will still looked good, his honey brown eyes furrowed in concern and lips slightly parted. He was beautiful, and Mike wanted to bite him.

    He recoiled a bit at the thought but now that he had thought it, it wouldn't go away. He could imagine it, digging his teeth into Will’s wrist, blood beading from the teeth marks faster than he could lick it up. The rushing in his ears got louder, twin heartbeats thudding in his ears and Mike turned to heave into the toilet again, not even bothering to stop the sobs that were ripping through him.

    -

    Mike Wheeler has always had shit luck; he just didn't think it was this shit. Something is wrong with him, and it all started when he was attacked by a stray Demo-bat.

    Summary

    Mike and Will have been together for a couple of years, even when distance made loving each other difficult. Will lives in Lenora Hills, California. Mike lives in Hawkins, Indiana. Somehow, they make it work.

    In the spring of 1990, Will comes home to Hawkins, and like most teens in love, their actions become reckless. By summer, Mike is placed in a position. A pregnant omega whose family head alpha is rejecting his unborn pup.

    So Mike runs.

    With only some cash, dreams, and clothes that he stole from friends and left behind by Will, he makes his way to California in the hopes of making it to the Byers' residence before his baby is born. Mike is willing to do everything he can to achieve that dream, because for once he wants to be the one to write the ending of his campaign.

    Even though there is a chance that there won't be a single waterfall.

    Summary

    Mike couldn't explain to a toddler that he didn't want to talk right now without hurting her feelings. "Are you sleeping?" she asked louder, as if her volume had been the problem the first time.

    Involuntarily, he heard himself make a chirping sound. He had only heard mothers, omega mothers, make that sound. Damn, he really couldn't get away from that part of himself. Holly giggled from outside, "You're awake, I heard you!"

    "You got me, Holls." His voice even sounded tired.

    or

    Mike refuses to risk changing how the party perceives him by telling them he's an omega. Along with hiding his relationship with Will, and the fact that Holly's started to follow him around like a baby duck, the lies are becoming a tangled web.

    Summary

    Maybe Mike would’ve felt brave for once and held Will’s hand. Maybe, Will wouldn’t have minded. Maybe then, he’d ask to go somewhere else, a broom closet or something, and maybe in there, Mike would have had the guts to spill everything out. Tell Will how much he cared for him, how he was the most important thing in Mike’s life, how he would rather his dad die a thousand times over than Will leave him. Tell Will just how much he lov-

    Ding!

    His coffee’s ready. 
     

    or: What if Mike was the one to see rovickie kiss at the hospital instead of Will? (this is pretty much a volume 1 rewrite, except I make Mike an actual character with feelings and not a cardboard cutout (yes, im still mad about the finale))
