Summary
After days of parties clashing with one another, unresolved conflict that only warranted more violence, and casual hallway-bickering, Mike comes to the chilling realization his life (and identity) take a drastic turn when a mysterious pink note appeared.
Upon finding the note, Mike obviously finds who it rightfully belongs to, which only made his life more troubling; his personality shifts, his feelings change--indeed, life had become inconsistent.Bookmarked by interm3th

Summary
Will bit down on his lip, thinking. “Oh,” was all he responded with, and Mike drank down more of his coffee to keep himself from chewing at his fingernails while he waited for him to say more. “Well, I mean… yeah, okay. If you’re sure.”
Mike nodded at once, quickly schooling his face into something a little less eager. “I am. Like I said last night, I trust you more than anyone. So if I have to suck a dick, I’d definitely prefer it to be yours.” Will’s face flamed crimson at his words, and Mike hid a pleased smile into his mug, trying to act nonchalant and not like he was buzzing at making his best friend blush.
Or: Mike is a sex worker, posting videos and pictures of himself online for his thousands of followers. He gets a request one day from a man who is offering to pay him fifteen-hundred dollars to film himself giving someone a blowjob.The only thing is, Mike is straight.

Summary
When Will came out, he was relieved to be accepted by the people closest to him, especially Mike, and especially after Will made it clear to Mike that he was his crush. It was just a silly, stupid crush that really wasn’t about Mike at all. The best part is, Will got over it quickly, and they were able to laugh it off and remain friends. Things have been solid since he let those feelings go. That dumb high school bullshit is in the past. Their friendship is far too important to dwell on a crush that is doomed to be unreciprocated.
Imagine Will’s surprise when he catches Mike in a Chicago gay bar making out with another man.
Turns out, Mike is gay. So, what now? What is he supposed to do with this information? More importantly, what does that mean for them?
Friends? No thanks.
Best friends.
Or: The one where Mike is gay and Will is in the Friend Zone the whole time as he helps Mike along his self-acceptance journey.

Summary
“Mr. Wheeler,” Will said with a calmness that he did not feel. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stop that.”
Mike looked up from his paperwork, his face annoyed. “Stop what, Mr. Byers?”
“Stop biting your damn pen.”
Mike scoffed. “Or what?”
Will gritted his teeth. “Or else I’ll make sure to stuff your mouth with my cock, instead.”
***
Will never considered himself the salacious type.
At least not until he realized his new personal assistant's lips were the exact same shape as the sugar baby’s he found on an app.
What he wouldn't give to pop that cherry.

Summary
Tormented by memories of El, and haunted by a song constantly playing on the radio (courtesy of an old friend), Mike Wheeler hears that his best friend is hospitalized from a nasty car crash and comes rushing to his side. While Mike awaits his bedside for Will to wake up from a coma, he is left with nothing to do but sit and think about his past, and what the rest of his future will look like if he has to lose Will too.
All the while, receiving scathing glares from across the other side of the bed by Will's boyfriend… as well as suspicious looks from the wife sitting right beside Mike.
When Will wakes up, he's met with an irritated boyfriend, and a determined Mike who seems hellbent on rekindling a flame that he put out years ago. And, oh yeah! Can't forget Mike's wife who apparently didn't know Will existed. Fun times!

Summary
Over Christmas break, Will comes out to his friends a few months into their first year of college. After some time apart, Mike can hardly believe the person standing in front of him is the same shy, lifelong best friend he’s known since kindergarten. Will has grown into himself away from Hawkins, surrounded by studios and artists and people who seem to see him for who he truly is.
Maybe if they’d gone to the same college, the change wouldn’t feel so stark. Maybe it would’ve happened slowly, together. How did Mike miss the most important months of his best friend’s life—and even more pressing, why didn’t Will come out to him first?
While Will and the others seem to be thriving, Mike feels stuck in dreary Seattle, studying something safe and going nowhere. He’s happy for them, truly. So why does it feel like he’s being left behind?
_______________Or, Will comes out to his friends, and Mike can no longer ignore the colossal mistake that is his choice of major—entirely unrelated to Will’s sexuality, of course.

Summary
After the Byers move to California, Mike discovers the world of goth music and fashion, all thanks to Siouxsie and the Banshees.
"What. The. Fuck.
Those were Mike’s first thoughts after he finished listening to Juju. How could he have been missing out on this?! This music being hidden from him for so long was a crime! The song’s melody mixed with the singer’s voice was like a siren's call to Mike. Mike was in heaven and Siouxsie was the angels choir."

Summary
There is no one Mike and Chance hate more than each other…
…Except Will’s new boyfriend, Carlton.
So, together they devise a plan to ruin his relationship with Will.
Chance is doing it because he wants Will back. Plain and simple. Chance never stopped loving Will, and it pains him to see him with a man that doesn't deserve him.
Mike is doing it purely out of spite, no other reason. Totally not his unresolved feelings for his childhood best friend, Will Byers. Pshhh. Absolutely not. Because Mike doesn't have feelings, that would be ridiculous! No no, see he's just petty and vindictive, and wants to see Carlton’s entire world burn around him while Mike stands there holding the matches! Breaking up him and Will just… happens to be a happy benefit of that!
They each have their own motivations for stealing Will from Carlton. They're doing the whole wide world a favor, really. But in order to do this, they have to put aside their differences and form a united front against Carlton… and through a series of hilarious hijinks and unfortunate events, slowly fall in love in the process.
You know what they say, the enemy of my enemy is my best friend.

Summary
"It wasn't like how he'd read about it in books. He never wanted to be skinny, in fact he was insecure about how slim he was, avoiding every mirror he passed because of it. It was more because of the control starving brought with it. Not eating was the only thing he could control in his life, and feeling the stomach fat go away just made him feel satisfied and proud for some strange reason"
OR,
Mike Wheeler has depression and ngl hates himself.

Summary
“I kind of lost myself trying to be who I thought I was supposed to be in that relationship,” he admitted, the gravity of his honesty hanging heavily in the air. “So when she broke up with me,” Mike said, exhaling deeply as if releasing a breath he had been holding for too long, “I think I’m just… starting to let myself feel again. To do what I want. To figure out who I really am.”
