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.”

Summary
Wasn't sure whether to mark this mature or explicit.
Maybe mature fits better but I marked it explicit.The whole thing with Vecna didn't happen but the Byers and Eleven still moved back to Hawkins. Also, Hopper is also alive and in Hawkins.
As mentioned in the tags, there are time skips.
Mike Wheeler never told anyone but Eddie what happened at that party in his freshmen year. Eddie only knew since Mike got help from him at that time.
The second time it happened he didn't get help from anyone and absolutely no one knew that time. He told no one of it. The second time, he also witnessed Troy's death. He didn't tell anyone about that either.
The memory of the second time haunted him more than the first time did. The first time was painful but the second time terrified him because of Troy's death.
It affected him in a way that every time he got intimate with Will he'd back away. Mike never told Will about what happened. Will was okay with waiting for Mike until he was ready.Will Mike ever tell anyone?

Summary
Will slams the door shut and pulls himself up on the hood of the car, knees raised. For a second, Mike almost doesn’t recognise him. He’s sitting on top of his dad’s car with a beer bottle in hand—older, with his features more defined, and he no longer has that bowl cut he had throughout his childhood and teenage years. There’s a sparkle in those hazel eyes of his that hadn’t been there since he was twelve, and Mike, despite his better judgement, finds himself captivated by it.
Will opens the bottle and takes a drink, looking so at ease that Mike is stunned.
// or, after years of estrangement, mike and will reunite face-to-face.

Summary
"It's okay Mike, hey, it's okay."
"No it's not!" Which—okay—fair enough, it didn't feel very okay to Jonathan either, but he was so out of his depth right now. He'd comforted Will countless times, he'd comforted Nancy, El. Hell, he'd even comforted Mike a bunch of times when he was younger.
A lot younger.
He'd comforted Mike over a broken crayon, or a scraped knee, or Will being sick and not being able to go to school for a week—that one had required a lot of comforting—but that had been a long time ago and those were all just silly, trivial things kids cried over. Now Mike was crying on a dirty bathroom floor, blood tainting his arms, and Jonathan couldn't just give him a new yellow crayon to make him feel better anymore.

Summary
"Oh." Lucas slumped in his chair.
"Wait, what did you think happened? Did you think Mike wanted to jump?"
"Well... I mean, don't say you've never thought it."
"Thought what?"

[this (specifically this extract) is just a silly little idea that came to me in class so i turned it into a fic. prolly couldve executed it better but nah]

Summary
“I’m not ready for today to be over Will,” Mike sighs watching as the rest of The Party head on home, sweat marks already forming on the backs of t-shirts. Will turns to look at him, studying him.
Studying his tall frame, the way his wet hair sticks to the curves of his neck. The effortless ease that is Mike. Will knows the way he sees himself, the gawky, frog faced, unproportionally awkward teenager. Will thinks he’s the most beautiful human he’s ever witnessed.
“Let’s do something then, Mike.” He teases up at Mike, brushing their hands together, who nods and gives Will the slightest of pushes, so that he awkwardly sways in the Harrington’s drive.
Or, On a hot summers day, Will and Mike find out what they are to each other

Summary
Mike looked at him unimpressed. “See you say that. You say that. But you never actually mean it.” He flung his hands out, gesturing at him. “You’re always making stupid promises that you can’t keep.”
Will gaped at him. This was ludicrous. “Name one promise that I haven’t kept!”
“You keep leaving!” Mike burst out. He practically shouted it. If the outburst took him by surprise, he didn’t show it. “Everytime I just get you back you end up leaving again. And it was fine at first, I guess. With the Upside Down and the MindFlayer. Like at least then we knew how to bring you back. But now there’s nothing taking you away but you still aren’t here. And I can’t figure out why. I’ve racked my brain trying to understand what’s going on with you but I just don’t get it! We’re supposed to be best friends but lately it’s only felt like that on my side of things.”
____The Upside Down is gone. Or so everyone keeps telling him. But Will knows the truth. You can burn all the vines and close all the gates. But you can’t flush out a virus once it’s already been spread. After all, how do you kill something that’s intertwined with the very root of Hawkins without affecting the real world?

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.
