Summary
Mike Wheeler was done.
There wasn’t anything more he could ever hate more than himself. He was disgusting, just disgusting.
Always angry, never reasonable. He didn’t even go through half the shit his friends have gone through. He didn’t know what was wrong. He didn’t deserve to feel like this, especially not after everything that’s happened with his friends.or,

Summary
"I'll help you get better," Will says, palms outstretched like he's asking for mercy or offering it. His face is slick with tears, catching at the corners of his mouth, his breath breaking around them. "I'm right here," he pleads. "Don't you want to get better?"
Mike's chest locks up. He can barely breathe. He's so afraid of the answer. More afraid of what it means.
"I can't do this, Will."
"Please." Will's voice comes out fractured. He's desperate now, begging, looking like he could drop to his knees.
Mike's hands twitch at his sides. He almost reaches, almost cries, almost stops being the coward he's always been. The truth hides behind his teeth and he just swallows it all down.
"I'm sorry," He whispers.
They both know the answer. They both want to run from it.OR
mike wheeler turns to unhealthy coping mechanisms because of his mental health. but he’s not alone in it, and he never has been.

Summary
Six months after the final battle, Hawkins is back to normal in all the wrong ways.
Mike Wheeler is grieving El, the battle against Vecna, the version of himself who used to know what to do. He’s not eating, not sleeping, not talking, and definitely not saying the one thing that might save him. Being in the closet feels safer than truth.
Will Byers is still there anyway.Waiting for him to come to his senses.
I wanted a character study of Mike that didn’t bash him over the head for being closeted.
Inspired by The Cure, and Twilight: New Moon (unfortunately).My friend called it John Hughes but way darker, I will go with that.

Summary
Tobacco products taste like people.
Some of them are very different, others are similar. Some leave a pleasant feeling behind, and others make you want to throw up.
Mike Wheeler lights up a Marlboro Red, and tastes Will Byers on his tongue instead.or
Vecna is dead, and life must go on for everyone — except storyteller. Mike Wheeler is alone in New York, a gap year wasted in Hawkins behind him and the weight of the world in his chest.
College corridors hum with lives he can’t touch, and everyone’s faces blur — except one. Will Byers, sharp, distant, and impossible, is there too, for some reason, and he seems determined to make sure Mike never forgets what a whiny bitch he is.
Between the crush of voices, the suffocating sunlight, and thoughts that bite too deep, Mike must survive a semester of lectures, Will, who has much changed, and himself.Bookmarked by left0n_red

Summary
If Michael Wheeler could change anything that's happened, he would've jumped off that cliff when no one was around to save him.
TW: check the tags broskis. Talk of suicide and similar stuff.
Just angst and some Hopper and Mike friendship.
