Summary
“In the van. Why did you show it to me? Why did you still love me? Love…this?” he asked, pointing up and down at himself. “I’d been so cruel to you, Will. So…selfish. But there you were, pretending that it was El’s idea, of all things, as if she knew anything about D&D—”
“Mike, come on now.”
“She didn’t! She didn’t,” Mike half-yelled, his hands flailing around. “You knew I knew it was all you. You had to have known, Will.”
Mike loves Will. Will loves Mike. Mike doesn’t feel like he deserves it.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
His brain finally catches up with Mike’s words, and Mike is saying things like, “C’mon, Will—you can do it,” and “I’m so proud of you,” and “Don’t rush, it’s okay.” In the softest tone imaginable, and if Will maybe pretends to still be a little more out of it than he actually is just to keep hearing Mike talk to him like that—well, that’s his business.

After Season 5 Vol.1, Mike refuses to leave Wills side.

Summary
After Vecna's curse is unleashed onto Hawkins, the town has been placed under government lockdown as the contagion continues to spread. Everyone’s been forced to the margins as they try to pick up the pieces. Maybe it's the swirling spores in the atmosphere or the grief that seems to linger everywhere, but it feels like everyone's haunted by something.
Everyone except Mike, that is. He's the heart, right? He's keeping it together.
He's the only one acting normal.

The best written plot/character oriented fic ever. Everyone is so in character. Picks up after S4 and includes Argyle. Dare I say it's better than S5.

Summary
It’s fine. It’s totally fine. He’ll just go to sleep- and when he wakes up tomorrow, he’ll forget that this crisis had ever even happened. He closes his eyes, and tries to turn off his brain. It shouldn’t be too hard, probably. He’s heard Max make that joke enough times to suspect that there might be some truth in it. After all, Mike has spent this long being oblivious. Surely, he can manage one night more.
Not even an hour later, he finds himself climbing up Will’s bedroom window.
Mike has more realisations in one night than in two whole years. It's all Jonathan's fault.
