Summary
“Do you really have glasses?” Will asked. He sounded like he was still smiling, and something about it made Mike’s stomach hurt.
“I do,” he mumbled, and Will laughed. “It’s not funny! I’m blind.”
“Of course. It’s not funny.” Will paused. “What do they look like?”
Mike groaned. “None of your business.” He flopped backward onto his bed and stared at the ceiling as they talked. “Hot,” he added after a second.
“We’ll see about that,” Will said, and Mike scowled.
“I’m scowling,” Mike told him.
“I’m sure you are.”

Mike Wheeler gets glasses. Will Byers thinks they're the cutest thing in the world, unfortunately. Mike thinks Will thinking he's cute is... well, it makes him feel some sort of way, but he doesn't know what.
(They're 19 and in college but it's not really college centric. All canon happened EXCEPT Mike's epilogue predictions, because I don't really vibe with seeing them as anything beyond an idea in his head. Fluff with potential brief angst but nothing too dark. + no epilogue boyfriend <3)Bookmarked by mouse_chun0

Summary
The thing that Dustin never realized was that Mike was the glue to the party. When Will had left for California, the party still stood, when he was at summer camp, the party still stood, and when Lucas was gone for basketball practice, the party still stood. When it broke up from Max and El, it still stood strong because it was Mike who held them together. He had said that at his funeral, that despite everything they’d gone through, all their struggles and turmoils, Mike held them together because that’s who he was.
It was woefully ironic that the one person who had to be out of Hawkins when the Upside Down came back was killed in California by a government agent.

Or, in one universe Mike Wheeler is the sole casualty, in another, he is the sole survivor. These two universes collide.Minorly inspired by: The Last Steve Harrington by Temptingfate91 (I heavily recommend you check this person's fic out!!)

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.

In 1989, Mike Wheeler heads to college, but instead of finding freedom, he’s consumed by loneliness and depression. Turning to alcohol and reckless behavior, he struggles to cope with the fear of his sexuality. In desperate attempt to prove himself, Mike is wreck less and careless. Weeks later when a girl named Ashley shows up with a positive pregnancy test, claiming he’s the father of her child, Mike’s world is shattered. After the birth Ashley disappears, he’s left alone to care for the baby, barely scraping by, struggling to afford food and balance overwhelming responsibilities. With his mental health crumbling, Mike doesn’t know how much longer he can keep going.Bookmarked by mouse_chun0

Summary
His hands were cupping his face, the pressure of his fingers against the wound making him scream again. He couldn't see, his eyes blurred with tears and pain in a way that made everything fuzzy,
No… wait… only one of his eyes was bouncing around wildly, eyeing the snarling Demogorgon that was sniffing at the fresh splatter of blood on its claw. He was watching it, a keen rising in his chest when he realized that it was only out of one eye.
It was- It must've been the blood that was making it hard to see, the blood was gluing his eye shut, that was why he couldn't see. He cried out when the Demogorgon turned back towards him, flinching away when it roared in his face, tensing like it was about to lunge.
-
The Demogorgon got to Mike a few seconds earlier, claws ripping through fragile skin and now Mike had to fight to heal and adjust while trying to rescue his sister from an inter dimensional monster. Which is actually pretty hard when he's in pain, drugged to the gills, and can't stop blurting out things that he would really rather not. Case in point: the Quarry, the box of unsent letters in the back of his closet (Ironic, yes, he knows) and his embarrassingly massive crush on his best friend.
