if he don't die young (he'll probably just ride away) by lu_marii for meganbloomfield

Summary
Hawkins is crumbling, but Hopper still patrols. Mike is tagging along with him this time, when Vecna strikes, and Hopper has to try to keep Mike alive -- until Will and El arrive, and then love confessions abound.
--
"Please!" As though he could ever reach Mike, Will jumped, fingertips not even nearing the rubber of Mike's converse. "Please! I love you, Mike, you're the heart! Do you remember when we met? When you came up to me on the swing set and asked to be my friend?"
--
or: Hopper and Mike are an underrated duo, Mike needs to be Vecna'd in season 5 (and I say this out of love), and I truly believe Will and El's voices together are the only thing that could pull Mike out of Vecna's grasp.

Summary
He swallowed and turned around, forcing one foot in front of the other as he began to move towards the cliff edge. Around him, sounds faded into the high pitched whistle of cold wind whipping through trees and past uneven rock faces. He could vaguely hear Dustin yelling in the background, something about not doing it and how he didn’t need baby teeth anyway, but his brain turned it into white static.
or the quarry scene in stranger things season one but I made Mike a lot more suicidal and gave him a lot more self hate.
TW: there are suicidal thoughts and technically a suicide attempt in this fic, please consider your own mentsl health and do not read if it will trigger you. stay safe :)

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a coward.
The Party thinks that he is brave. They rely on him to lead them, and he knows it. He knows that when things get tough, even now, two years after the world didn’t end, they look at him when something goes wrong.
He wonders when they are going to realize that he has been tricking them for years. He wonders when they are going to realize that they don’t need Mike Wheeler and leave him in the dust.OR:
The party learns about the quarry, Will takes it worse than the others, and Mike Wheeler thinks the shoe is finally dropping.

Summary
Mike is alone.
So he goes to the quarry, to jump, just like he did after Will died the first time.
Maybe this time, he’ll get it right.

I’ll Invite You To Stay, If You Can Take Away The Pain by tamethewoods

Summary
“He was too afraid to be himself - goofy, smart, and softhearted - couldn’t afford the social toll it would take on him. Hargrove seemed to see right through him day one, though. Took one look at his cleverly covered crumbling self-esteem and picked him apart piece by piece.
If these rocks decided to give way under him right now, he wasn’t going to object.”
OR
Steve sits on the ledge of the quarry, contemplating death.
Then, Billy happens upon him, mouth fuming with foam and on a rager, and they spit fire with no heat.

Summary
Mike kills someone for Will. He almost can't believe it. He almost can't believe how flustered he is.
-
“Were you going to tell me?” Will says, not scared or shaken. A little nervous if nothing else.Mike blinked, grabbing his notebook and cradling it close, pencil back in his hand. He looked down at the words.
“Tell you what?” Mike hummed. Will’s heart beat was loud. It sounded like two boys on Halloween, in a yellow basement and the same secrets. “If this is about Max’s birthday present, I was going to tell you I just happened to tell Dustin and Lucas first-”
“About Troy.”

run away, turn away (until you're forced to face it) by literallycassie
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
For the past week or so, Mike had been plagued with horrible headaches and nosebleeds. Vaguely remembering something Lucas had said about those being a bad sign if accompanied by visions, he’d done the only natural thing and hidden his ailment from the rest of the Party. It was a pretty easy feat, anyway, as everyone was largely absorbed with their own thoughts, dealing with their own problems. Either way, he hadn’t had any visions, not that he knew of at least, so he was fine… right?
One minute ago, he was sitting in his basement with Lucas, Dustin and Will, just like the old days. Now, Mike’s still in the basement, only he’s alone. The usually warm lighting flickers, suddenly more of a fluorescent color, like hospital lights, leaving the place rather desolate and cold. He shivers against it, crossing his arms to keep some semblance of warmth. The hairs on his neck and arms bristle.
