Summary
Will frowns, looking down at his watch and then at Mike as he wheels himself back into the aisle.
“I mean,” he says, looking back down at their empty basket, “we just started, but uh…I don’t really mind. We’ll be done in around–”
“WE MIND!” Dustin shrieks. Will wonders how he hasn’t gotten throat problems yet, considering the sheer volume he’s been yelling at. “WE MIND VERY FUCKING MUCH!”
—— OR ——
Will answers a group call while he’s in Michael. Chaos ensues.

“Hey,” Mike finally says, casual as he can. “So, can I ask you something?”
Will makes a noncommittal go-ahead noise.
“That guy you were talking about,” Mike says. “It was me, right?”
(Mike and Will, immediately after.)

Don’t chase danger, let danger come to you by CC (Sp0n6e)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
06 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Mike came from a lineage of gunslingers (assassins), chosen by the Archangel Gabriel himself. At the age of five, he was trained by his mother’s twin sister, Noctis Childress. By ten, he gained his powers, by twelve, he lost them. This might change the story or not at all.
(This is a rewrite of Season 5 Vol. 2 to provide a backstory explaining why Mike started acting like he’d undergone a lobotomy—because, in this version, he actually did. Kind of?)
*Summary lacks the lore, you might have to read to find out*

Summary
“You can keep flapping, or whatever it was you were doing when I came in,” Will says. “You don’t need to hide that from me. It’s not like I didn’t see it when we were kids.”
Oh. That. Mike doesn’t do that anymore. He’s not supposed to. It was childish even then, at the ripe age of eight. That’s what his mom and teachers said, at least. They’d make fun of him for all sorts of stuff— fidgeting, rocking, chewing on his fingers. He’s grown up now. He doesn’t need it.
Will must read the hesitation on his face, because he nudges his shoe again. “Come on. I know you want to. It always used to help when you were upset like this.”
—
Mike doesn’t understand why he’s suddenly lost all control over his thoughts and actions. Will seems to know Mike’s habits better than he himself does.

Summary
(...) "you pick a place to hide, anywhere at all. Think of one.”
At his prompting, Mike thought for a minute. If he was asked for a place to hide…well he couldn’t think of anything but his basement. Still air, soft blankets. El.
Mike’s eyes burned.“Yeah okay, I picked one.”
“Alright, then I ask some questions. Try to find you. You only give me yes or no answers.”
Mike shifted in his seat, “Okay.”
“The idea is to delve in where your brain goes when it wants to hide,” he explained, “what it finds safe, familiar or innovative.”
--------
Something clicked in Mike’s brain, like he suddenly remembered the answer to a test.
“I’m not hiding.”
He said before he could stop himself. Dustin’s arms tightened around him, before he pushed Mike away, just enough that he could look at him in confusion.
Mike blinked, mind suddenly clearer, what was he saying-“I’m not hiding, I’m looking for something.”
-------
In which Mike Wheeler fights his way to a happy ending.

Summary
Maybe it’s the lingering adrenaline from the false alarm a moment ago, but Mike suddenly has a bad feeling deep in his gut. Something is off. Slowly, he walks around to look at Chrissy’s face.
White eyes. Rapid blinking. Unfocused. Unseeing.
Mike’s terror multiplies tenfold, heart rate ratcheting back up. He blinks and it’s Will standing in front of him, glaze-eyed and shaking, seizing, eyes twitching in their sockets, stuck in a waking nightmare as the Mind Flayer forces itself into every orifice.
He blinks again and it’s Chrissy, going through the same thing. Or something very similar.
Fuck. Not now. Not again.Or: After witnessing Chrissy's death, Mike finds himself on the frontlines of the latest interdimensional battle—and at the top of Hawkins’ Most Wanted list, as police, crazed townspeople, and otherworldly monsters all vie to get to him first.

Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

Summary
“You should go back to sleep”, Mike mutters, but Will’s eyes are already flying over his face, and he is probably taking in the embarrassing number of tears, and the sweaty hair sticking onto his forehead and—
“You’re bleeding”, Will whispers, and then, as if the realization strikes just now as he says it out loud, his voice increases in volume, but shakes harder all the more, “Mike, there’s— there’s blood pouring from your mouth.”
Mike would have been perfectly content with never exploring the depth of his repressed feelings, if it wasn't for the deadly flowers blooming in his lungs.

Summary
"Mike runs his tongue over the bottom of Will’s lips, and they’re forced to pull apart, but only because one of the lights above them literally explodes. They both take a step back, breathing heavy. Will’s face is wet, and he instinctively goes to wipe his eyes, only to realize that they aren’t his tears, they’re Mike’s.
“I hate when you yell at me.” Mike says, and he sounds so broken that Will wants to crawl into a hole and never let anyone look at him again. He feels tears prick at the back of his own eyes, and fights to keep them contained. He feels like this isn’t about him, even though he knows it absolutely is,
“I- I’m so sorry.” he replies, and he is. It sounds pathetic, even to him. Mike laughs, but it’s more of a sob."
Or
Mike and Will have a fight after Will comes out. Unresolved feelings ensue.

Summary
There was no humanity in Will’s glare. It was his face and his body, but Will wasn’t there, and Mike felt a wave of terror wash over him as he realised he was face to face with the blood-thirsty Mindflayer, its hands around his neck.
Basically 5000 words of the Mindflayer having it out for Mike.

Summary
Was…was Mike’s heart reacting to Will?
Mike isn’t looking at him. He’s staring hard at his cards as if he hasn’t seen them before, biting his inner cheek, and accentuating his dimple. As Will looks closer, he notices the pink shade spreading over the shell of Mike’s ear, the red emerging from the black curls like a rose sprouting from the earth.
Was Mike still nervous around him? Hadn’t they resolved that?
Will decides to test it. He leans onto the bed and rests a hand on Mike’s uninjured thigh, his thumb swiping side to side over the covers, and waits.
Mike's leg twitches into his hand, and barely a moment passes before the beeps speed up again, a rapid climb from steady to sprinting, and when Will looks, the blush has spread to Mike’s cheeks, his eyes unmoving and glued to his cards.
Oh. Will gapes at the monitor, the green spiking line. That's not discomfort.
Oh. He can have some fun with this.
Or: Mike, while protecting Will, gets attacked by a demogorgon. Guilt-ridden, Will stays with him in the hospital, forcing them to resolve the awkward air that has surrounded them for months, and, along the way, uncover some truths.
