Summary
His mind would even wander into the scenario of murder.
The thought made him bite his lip, before remembering he had a project to do. He wiped his face with his hands, and turned back to his project partner.
Some of the party has witnessed this too, but chose not to question it. Not even Will himself. He'd noticed Mike was a little more touchy than usual, defensive when the group teases Will, even had a soft, relaxed voice when it came to talking with Will that he wouldn't use with anyone else. Will thought that maybe, he's just making sure that he's okay after the events of him going missing and being possessed.
But he doesn’t think that was the reason why Mike was staring at him while kissing El at a school dance.
Or: Mike Wheeler as Ghostface.

Summary
Will’s not supposed to be hiding in corners, forcing a fake smile when Mike asks him if he’s okay. He’s not supposed to brush off insults like they're jokes. He’s not supposed to vanish for six hours during a school day, leaving Mike feeling like he’s slipping away all over again.
Whoever said that beating Vecna’s going to fix Hawkins’ problems, Will’s problems, Mike’s problems—they deserve an earful. They deserve to feel this weird, hollow dissatisfaction chewing away at their chests.
aka mike begs will to escape their small town after too many run-ins with homophobic small-town bs. he knows will's meant to find himself elsewhere, but he never expects to find an answer to the age-old question of his own fate. prom, gay bars, sleazy hotels, train stations, two lesbians and their not-so-legal marriage - they aren't the traditional sources of wisdom, but he can't complain.

Stained Glass Eyes (Colorful Tears) by RoseByAnyOtherName17

Summary
For twenty-four hours, Max refused to say a word to anyone.
Six months. In six months, it felt like everything had changed, and at the same time, nothing had happened at all. Vecna was still in hiding, hurt and licking his wounds, only sending his monsters to keep Hawkins on its toes and remind them that the worst was to come. School had sort of resumed, but with so few students left in Hawkins, most everyone was studying at home on their own. Military had flooded the town, but the curfew wasn’t very strictly enforced, if at all.
And Max’s mom abandoned her without a second thought. Left her to die alone in a hospital, or to the mercy of Indiana’s foster care system, which was as good as a death sentence in Max’s former condition. If it weren’t for the Wheelers and Steve Harrington, there was no telling what would have happened to her.
--
In which Max begins to figure out what life will be from here on out, featuring informal adoptive parents Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley, a devoted Lucas Sinclair, forever scientifically-inclined Dustin Henderson, and a subtly protective Mike Wheeler accompanied by endlessly entertained Will Byers.

Summary
By the time he got his things in his locker and tracked down his homeroom, Mike was already a few minutes late, which meant that everyone stared at him as he stood awkwardly at the front of the class, including a familiar, pretty redhead smirking from the back row whom his eyes landed on immediately.
He averted his gaze, painfully aware of how sweaty his palms and armpits were becoming.
God, being the new kid sucked.
***
Heartbroken, traumatized, in the throes of a sexuality crisis… and now he’s moving across the country?!
Mike Wheeler going through it, starting over, and coming out the other side.

Summary
The terrible, awful thing about finally getting what he wanted — namely, Mike — is that now he wants more, the selfish creature that he is. When he was younger, he’d been able to convince himself that kissing Mike, just once, would be enough to last him a lifetime. Foolishly, he’d thought that he could relish that single kiss and live a peaceful life, one where Mike was still his friend and nothing changed but his feelings would dissipate.
Instead, they grew; they’re still growing, Will fears, growing bigger and bigger each time Mike and him get together, because every sound Mike makes when Will kisses him makes Will want to find ten more little gasps and whines and groans, and each time Mike twists their fingers together and pants against his skin Will thinks about how much better it is than the time before.
will and mike are - something, and will's not entirely sure what. whatever they are, he wants more, but he's not sure if he can have it.

Summary
Mike takes a deep breath and squeezes the hand holding El’s. She squeezes back. He leans his head on the back of the couch, looking up at the popcorned ceiling of this new house they have yet to make any lasting memories in.
Like a bandaid.
“I have a twin brother.”
***
Richie pulls Eddie forward until he’s straddling his lap and holds onto him for dear life. “What if he hates me or something, Eds?”
It’s quiet when he says it. Barely a whisper into Eddie’s neck. He hates admitting that he actually cares what some people think about him. But, to Eddie, he’d admit anything.
OR
Mike and Richie are twins that were separated at birth.
Karen and Ted decide the best time to tell their son the truth is about a week before his twin is due to visit for the summer.

Summary
Hopper glanced over at Mike, who had gone quiet. He was tense, more tense than he was before. His eyes were still squeezed shut, doors that weren't going to open any time soon.
Hopper wondered whether or not it was easier to be brave in the dark.

Summary
Eddie is a barista that lives and works in Hawkins. Steve is an actor filming in Hawkins- that no one recognizes. Seems suspish…Steve’s too pretty to have just come to town for college, so Eddie’s obvious conclusion?
Steve is an OnlyFangs actor. Has to be. Eddie’s almost completely like, 45%- maybe 99.99999% sure. There’s no way that a guy like *that* isn’t in the industry.
Or is he?
Instant attraction, flirty conversations- love is in the air…until it’s not? What’s going on?? No one knows, not even Eddie.
Or- the layered omegaverse!coffeeshop!misunderstangs abound au that no one asked for but I’m doing it anyway so there :P

Summary
The sight of Mike in the hospital bed is enough to break down the walls she had been grasping on to since Max had first told her he had been hurt. His cheeks are bruised, with gashes across his temples and dried blood smeared on his face. El’s knees buckle beneath her just as she reaches the chair next to his hospital bed. She takes his hand in hers and presses her forehead against his palm and sobs.
I started writing a hurt/comfort hospital fic and i ended up with a nearly 9k marriage of convenience fic. Not sure how that happened, but I'm pretty proud of it.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made by Thee) by spotlightonmringenue
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
10 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
In an effort to close the Master Gate that’s tearing Hawkins apart, Eleven makes a deal with the Mind Flayer: the Hive will contain the threat of Henry's power as long as people stay out of the Upside Down. Interests mutual for once, they work together to seal the gates for good—but in His final act of infuriated defeat, Henry captures Mike as the barrier between worlds closes, never to reopen.
Will is the only one around when Mike is taken. He’s the only one who believes Mike is still alive, stuck in Henry’s clutches and in desperate need of a rescue.
When Eleven and the others refuse to break the world-saving truce without proof that it won’t be a wasted effort with disastrous consequences, Will is left trying to find answers (and Mike) on his own.

Mike gets snatched but the gates are closed. Genuinely top 3 favorite fic ever. World building is insane. The characters still feel true to their voice even with the added tension. I want to break into the person who wrote this’ mind and inspect it.
The kind of fic that makes you comment “Thank you” if you know what I mean.

Summary
Mike was a very bouncy kid, typically full of energy and when he believed something he'd be stubborn about it. But he couldn't stop his anxiety of people from growing, whenever people were around his voice would get stuck in his throat. Which was why it was such a surprise during kindergarten when no one was able to have a conversation with Mike yet a boy named Will was somehow best friends with him.
Ted and Karen hated this part of their son, they punished and sent him to speech classes. And eventually Mike grew out of it.
The party was confused when Mike stopped talking after Will and Nancy both got hospitalized for violent reasons. The doctors were unsure when they'd wake up and while it wasn't unusual that something happened to them (especially Will) Mike was there watching it when it happened. He felt awfully guilty and his anxiety broke him to the point to revert back into mutism.
Or Will has to help reassure Mike that it wasn't his fault and subtly ease him into being verbal again.
(Chapter one takes place in kindergarten with their friendship
Chapter two takes place in the hospital portion)-
