Summary
It was easy to recall how Mike had been as a child: vibrant, bold, and loyal to a fault. Somewhere, lost to time or playing endlessly on sun-flared memories, was a version of Mike Wheeler that cradled hand-crafted toys like treasure. It was the Mike who had spent days on the frontline searching for Will, who had thrown himself into fire to shelter a terrified stranger, who lived in waiting room chairs and the threadbare blankets of Jonathan’s house. Who had brought Will back from the brink when no one else could, and who had gifted a joy to him that Jonathan had never seen before. A Mike who cared, above all else. Golden-tinged light.
Mike and Will, and a thread of missed signs.

Summary
“Jezz, you’re jumpy,” a voice dripping with sarcasm said, and Max Mayfield stepped out into the moonlight, her red hair looking maroon. “Do you really think your fists would do anything if I was a demodog?” She chirped, a wry smile forming.
“I thought you were asleep,” he growled with a glare at her.
“Night owl,” she said with a ‘obviously you idiot’ lit to her voice that Mike sneered at. “What, did you think I was going to leave anyone alone after what happened to Will?”
“I don’t need a babysitter,” he huffed again, “I do this. Nothing ever comes.”
—OR—
Mike and Max are night owls, so they slowly become friends after everyone else is asleep.
A study on how Max and Mike learn to love one another over the course of many late night conversations. Set mostly between seasons, and it ends before season 5.Bookmarked by BylerLover97

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
"I had no idea there was something wrong. I wouldn’t have known anything if Will didn’t call.”
“What do you mean if Will didn’t call?”
“He read the note that you gave him.”
“He called the police?”
“He called me.”
Will called his mom. Mike hasn’t talked to him since.(if you're a returning reader; check the author's note <3)

Summary
"Mike has been acting… weird. Cheerful, almost, in a way Will hasn't seen him since before Eleven died. Since before everything happened.
He's more carefree now, like the world won't collapse around him if he says or does the wrong thing.
It should be good that he's finally moving on, but it's unnerving, to say the least, and Will has a strange feeling settling in the pit of his stomach."
Or
Mike is extremely depressed and planning on doing something about it, but doesn't account for Will finding out about it.

this is endurance reading with the most depressed suicidal mike ever and the saddest byler love confession ever
