Summary
Mike Wheeler has always known how to keep the Party together.
He knows when El is having nightmares before she says a word. He knows when Will is pretending the Upside Down is not still under his skin. He knows how to pull Dustin out of guilt, how to soften Lucas’s anger, how to make Max feel present in her own body again.
What Mike does not know is how to tell them he is drowning.
In a house full of people he loves, Mike becomes the heartbeat everyone depends on. But hearts are muscles, and even muscles tear when they are asked to carry too much.

Summary
The summer has been endless, stretching into long, sunny days that mingle with the sweet smell of wildflowers, and cool, damp evenings, heavy with fog and clustered shadows; each day blends into the next, indiscriminate, never stopping to breathe, and Mike follows in his set path with confident strides that he never lets falter.
Mike finds himself stuck between the present and the future. How much can he fix, and how much has he already broken?

Summary
"Mike wasn't allowed to talk too loudly or talk too much. He wasn't allowed to move his hands or bounce his legs or repeat quotes from movies. He had rules for how to express his emotions, how not to express his emotions.
Will didn't know how to understand this branch of knowledge."
or
Ever since living with the Wheelers, Will had noticed a strange bit of rules that Mike had to follow.

Summary
Because Mike’s chest ached, sharp and painful, at the thought of seeing Will for the last time.
He couldn’t accept that he’d be taking in the way Will’s beautiful eyes looked at him as if he was the only thing in the world, or feeling the love only Will could make him feel, or being reminded of all their memories together for the final time.
And because maybe, Will would’ve been able to talk him out of it.
So he walked away from the door. And now here he is.
Mike kills himself because he believes everyones lives will be better without him (they weren't).

Summary
“Ah. That’s it, my friend. That’s it.”
“What’s it?” Will asks in confusion. He’s was, like, a prude, or anything, but openly talking about gay sex in great detail was absolutely unheard of in little home town Hawkins.
“You two both think that Mike should be the top,” Marius tells him, and Will slowly nods along. “Dunno why, he has crazy bottom energy. But maybe that’s just, like, stereotypes messing with your brains. He’s taller, yeah, but that doesn’t matter.”
Will blinked at him once, twice, his brain too long to process.
Marius claps him on the shoulder, a bright grin on his face. “Just top, dude,” He says, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “That’ll probably help a ton.”

Summary
The storm over Mike’s head brews. The gray clouds darken to black as if something’s burning—but there’s no smoke. The ground trembles beneath him, quaking with anger. Overhead, a tornado forms, churning in the sky.
More than one—a dozen, maybe more—tornadoes form all at once. Mike lets out a cry, not sure if it’s rain or tears streaming down his cheeks. The downpour grows heavier, blurring everything into gray, while the earth shakes harder beneath him. More tornados spin into existence. Strangely, it feels like a weight is being lifted from his shoulders, as if this storm—no, this disaster—is somehow soothing.
Or after season 2, with the heightened/extreme stress and the pores from the tunnels. Mike awakens his powers, being the first mutant on Earth in X–Men terminology. This can be a fix–it or some kind for the next season maybe…

Mike's body relaxed, and Lucas saw him as he was at that moment. A small, weak, scared kid, face streaked with tears and snot.
"Lucas... Let me." He begged, his voice raw "I want this. Let me... please."
Three months after Eleven's death, Mike attempts suicide and Lucas stops him. Everyone has to deal with the consequences.

Summary
Presentations were impossible to predict but if there was anyone in the Party that were to break that rule it would be Will and Mike, almost certain to be an omega and an alpha. But as with anything in their lives, that’s not how it works out.
When Mike finally presents it’s not as an alpha like everyone expects, but an omega, and Will follows suit, presenting as an alpha only a few months later. It’s shocking and unexpected, but to a boy who’s been in love with his best friend for years, it’s just about the best news he could hear. They’re complimentary in every way, alpha and omega, Will and Mike—and not even Will’s rising possessiveness can change that, even when the only thing that makes him feel better is scenting Mike so much he hardly smells like himself anymore. But it’s only a matter of time until Mike catches on to the fact that his need to scent him maybe isn’t all that platonic after all.

Summary
Maybe he deserves this. Penance for years of locking lips to prove how totally straight he was instead of asking her if she had any, like, hobbies or whatever… It can’t be as bad as the time he joined her and Hopper on a hike and nearly died of dehydration (true story), so Mike reluctantly agreed. Even if the idea of it made his heart race, just a bit.
“It will be fun, I promise,” El had said as she dragged him over to the window for better lighting, pushing Mike into her desk chair. She started arming herself with pencils and compacts and brushes while Mike fidgeted in his seat.
“Fun, yeah,” he had croaked as she pinned his bangs out of the way. Maybe this won’t be so bad - it’s only blush and lip gloss, right?
Or: Mike gets a makeover and has a lot of feelings about it. El helps him through it

Summary
Mike bikes and bikes and bikes, going as fast as he could go, as far as he could think of. His stomach whirling, the end of summer. The start of Highschool. Without Will. God, doing anything without Will nowadays felt like he was missing a limb. Constantly turning to speak only to find himself talking to midair, going to the arcade and seeing Will’s name, Will’s score, staring back at him. This was a mistake- How could he ever think he could survive High School without-
Mike abruptly stopped before he could slam into the post. The mailbox in front of him. This white and red one looked strangely familiar despite the fact every Hawkins house shared the same mailbox, but there was one identifying detail. The huge ‘SIXTY-FOUR’ hastily scrawled on the side with-
With a wizard hat.
Oh.
Mike, and his mysterious mentor Michael for the summer.

Summary
Billy Hargrove hit Mike just a little bit harder, Max woke up just a little bit later and Mike Wheeler had always had shitty luck. He gets drugged, hauled to Russia and jabbed with so many needles that he doesn’t know where he began and the needles ended.
But it’s not so bad (He’s lying, it fucking sucks) at least he has the boy in the bed next to his, and relatively regular mealtimes and-
Yeah, he's having trouble coming up with anything positive.
He just wants to go home, but the doctor and this strange new thing in his chest aren’t going to let him. That’s fine, he’ll just have to get himself out.
-
TLDR: Mike Wheeler gets taken to Russia, gets powers and has to figure out how to get himself the hell out of there without killing himself or getting killed first.
