Summary
Compared to his friends, Mike Wheeler has had it easy. What reason does he have to wake up screaming? To feel like he's got the weight of the world strapped to him like a backpack? And now his heart flutters every time Will comes near him and he just can't look him in the eye and smile honestly anymore.
So he runs, and he avoids his friends because it's easier than lying through his teeth.

Summary
“I can’t, Nancy please, I’m so tired.” Mike pleads.
Nancy talks a step closer to Mike, he’s rocking from side to side as he attempts to get the tears from falling, “Mike, I need to know you’re okay, you need to come inside, I’ll set everything up and we can call Mom.” She begs.
Fear strikes Mike once again, flinching just like he did moments before and Nancy sees Mike break right in front of her eyes, letting his legs fall limp to the floor and wet, desperate sobs escape from his throat.
“No! No, we can’t, Nancy please, I can’t speak to her.” He begs, “I can’t speak to her.”

Summary
Mike Wheeler writes the most popular student-written book in the school. The book people have been raving about since the first chapter came out, and that is read aloud in class. Even his friends are obsessing over it, his parents, and his neighbours. It’s spread like wildfire through damn-near the entire town!
Except nobody knows he’s the author.

Summary
She ignored his apologies. “You really came every Wednesday?” Her voice was the smallest Mike had ever heard it. It made her seem impossibly young in the stark light of the hospital room. Her eyes are trained again on his face and he keeps eye contact.
“Of course I did, Mayfield.” He reached out to touch her hand where it lay by her side. Max turned her hand over to clasp his.
“Someone had to make sure you weren’t faking it for attention.”

Summary
Mike Wheeler never liked his name. Not Mike, Mike was fine. Michael. That was the one he couldn’t stand. But despite how many times he had asked, his mother would never call him Mike. She said she’d given him the name and she wasn’t going to have half of it erased. It was a strong, biblical name. One fitting of a young man. So he'd stopped asking.
Holly called him something different though

On most days he wondered if they loved him.But Mike had a family. Mike had Holly and he had Nancy and he loved them as much as they loved him. He had the Party and Steve and Robin and Eddie. He'd rather fight another weird ass government experiment gone wrong than tell them that but he did. He thinks Nancy knew anyway by the way she grinned and ruffled his hair.

Summary
“Steve,” Wayne echoes. “This is my home. Eddie’s my boy.” And then he ruffles his hair with one large hand, coarse from years of working with them, in an action that reminds Steve of Hopper.
“I’m gonna go down there and get my boy back. You’re gonna be my tour guide.” He holds his hand out for the final gun Steve has stashed, which he gives over reluctantly. He finds Wayne remarkably difficult to argue with—wonders if Eddie found the same. “Tour guides don’t need guns. You point at somethin’, I shoot it. Got it, Steve?”
(Steve knows Eddie’s alive. Wayne’s the only one who believes him. So they team up to save him.)- Language:

When There's Still So Many Things To Say Unsaid by BlackUnicorn

Summary
When they found the dead body of a cheerleader in their trailer and all of Hawkins started a manhunt for Eddie, Wayne did not have a single doubt in his heart that Eddie was innocent because, at the end of day, Eddie was a good kid, damnit. And then Eddie disappeared over spring break, and when he came back, he was changed. He tried to hide it, sure, the same wicked smile still gracing his face, the same restless energy still filling his eyes and his heart, but Wayne could see it in the quiet moments and the way he was almost never sober anymore, and he realised that his best wasn't good enough anymore and he was losing his nephew.
And then Steve fucking Harrington knocked on the door of their new trailer.
Or: Steve and Eddie's relationship as seen through the eyes of their family.

The boy just curled tighter, gasping. “Can’t… breathe…” he managed, and Max’s eyebrows nearly rose off of her face. Okay, she definitely couldn’t leave him now. Like, she didn’t particularly feel like talking to somebody, especially not somebody who was crying (it was so awkward trying to comfort people), but he might have asthma or something. What if she left and he just died? That would be a terrible way to start at a new school.
____max first meets mike wheeler when he is having a panic attack on the floor of an empty classroom. as you might guess, this changes their relationship drastically.

Grief’s an Expensive Emotion by Randomness_is_my_order

Summary
“What do you want Wheeler?”
Mike’s jittery foot-taps started just as he replied, “Did you eat breakfast?”
“What?” Max blinked, then glared. “How is that any of your business?”
For a moment, she was sure Mike would glare in return, say something fiery or insulting or mocking then they’d both go back to how things were – ignoring each other until interaction was absolutely necessary.
But that didn’t happen.
Grief can cause distance between close friends and bring closer the distant ones.
Max should’ve known that Mike Wheeler can’t help but meddle with her business. But as their reluctant friendship blossoms into profound understanding, Max is amazed at how much they have in common and how much this friendship feels like something she can enjoy, instead of something she has to endure.

Mike accidentally encounters an old enemy's plot they may endanger the Byers. His solution? Nothing easy or simple. Instead, he runs away to California - and to his oldest friend.
