Something is Wrong with Mike Wheeler by The_Bees_Want_Arson for Orcareux
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

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
She nudges him lightly with her elbow. “You just never know where life might take you. So whatever you feel? It matters. Whether it works out or not.”
“After all that… how did you know Vickie liked you back?” Will asks. The confusion is still there, but something else flickers underneath it, something almost hopeful.
Robin smiles. “It wasn’t easy, that’s for sure. But when it’s there, you kind of… know. You feel it. Eventually.”
Will doesn’t look convinced. “But how? Especially if you’re the type who thinks that would never happen to you.” His voice drops near the end.or, the one where robin buckley and will byers have their very needed heart to heart.

Summary
The most surprising thing about Will is not that he’s seemingly shot up something like a foot in six months, or that he’s developed shoulders, or that he even fucking smokes now- it’s this. Four of them dancing over a looming ledge, and Will being the first to jump.

Summary
“Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
“She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.

Summary
"Will looks down at his left hand, curling it in and out of a fist. He thinks about Phineas Gage and Mr.Clarke telling them about the man with a spike through the eye. His hand isn’t really shaped like a spike, and this isn’t gonna be a stabbing. His breath shakes as he faces his reality. What he is about to do. What he has to do. He looks at the stained glass window to his left. It’s one he doesn’t recognize, but it’s beautiful."

Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
05 Dec 2022

Summary
“Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”
Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"
"What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.
In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date. -

Summary
In theory, Mike doesn’t drink because he’s designated driver for the night. In reality, Mike doesn’t drink out of spite.
or: Mike figures some things out, but in his own damn time. Sometimes it takes two lame high school parties, an unwitting troupe of matchmakers, and the change of the seasons to realize you're in love with your best friend.

Summary
He looks up at him, eyebrows drawn together. “Do you not love her?”
Mike shrinks back. “What?”
He hadn’t meant to say it. He wouldn’t have, if he’d stopped to think about it for half a second. But it’s too late to take it back, and he can’t breathe until he knows the answer, and he looks at him resolutely and says, “Do you only love her because of what I said?”
Something darkens on Mike’s face, twisting it into a shape Will’s never seen. “Get out.”
It’s not a no.
or: Mike and Will share a room, and Mike finds out the truth about the painting.

Summary
"Chance bit the inside of his lip. Truthfully, part of him believed Jason’s Hellfire theory was a desperate story fueled by the grief of losing Chrissy, but the more Chance watched Hawkins fall apart, literally, the more he felt his old logic snap into place. Maybe Jason had been right, the town had a wound and something crawled out of it, something that hid in plain sight. Chance didn’t believe in revenge, the Bible says justice belonged to God or the law. But, if there really was an evil in this town, wouldn’t it be just as evil to do nothing about it? To let it happen?"
OR
After losing two of his friends in the Hawkins “earthquake,” Chance joins a church grief group that believes Will Byers is the vessel for Satan. To prove them wrong, Chance agrees to befriend Will, but the closer he gets, the more the lines between faith, fear, obsession and love start to blur.

Summary
Off the bat, Hopper just assumed that Mike coming along was one big plot to get back together with El. That’s what he’d been bracing for, at least; having El post up in he and Joyce’s room on an air mattress, keeping the door open three inches when she was hanging out with the boys in their room.
But that’s not what happens. Not what he thinks happens, at least.
Or, Hopper has a feeling about Will and Mike.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
Will’s eyes sting with tears, and his nose prickles with heat. He feels like he’s burning, like he’s on fire. But Mom’s right—he doesn’t have to be afraid. She knows, and she loves him, and she’s not leaving. All that’s left is the words. And he shouldn’t be scared of words. After all he’s been through, if what takes him down is the English alphabet, then the world has a really fucked up sense of humor.
He just needs to rip off the bandaid.

Alternatively: Five times Will Byers came out, and the one time someone came out to him.

Summary
There's something wrong with Hawkins, and Will can feel it.
Yeah, okay— so there's always been something wrong with Hawkins. But even this, Will thinks, is teetering on the edge between wrong and plain fucking crazy.
Holly’s found a new friend in an invisible man who gives her invisible toys. Nancy keeps looking at Will like she wants him dead, or maybe just out of her house. All the animals in Hawkins are acting more like possessed statues than actual animals, and Will keeps hearing a raspy, unsettling voice that seems to think he has some sort of power.
As for Mike, Will doesn't even want to think about him, because the guy is driving Will mad. And the bar for Mike making Will crazy is practically in hell, so that should say something.
Oh, right. Did he not mention the sleepwalking?
(Or; Will’s started hearing from a certain someone— think blonde hair, unnerving smile, limb-snapping tendencies— who thinks he has a certain power. Holly’s started hearing from a man who wants to take her to Wonderland.)

the great big mystery of mike wheeler's no good, very bad, terrible feelings by smoosnoom (moonsooms)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
27 Apr 2023

Summary
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.
Kind of. Not really.
