Summary
But that’s what—until Malia stands at the maw of the oppressing loneliness of his house, of his room, of himself, until she makes herself known by the loud thud of the front door closing behind her, or barges into his life and fractures the silence until he can’t ignore the noise anymore, it’s him alone in here, suspended in some sort of gaping hole that she desperately wants to fill.
Or, a canon adjacent pieced together with my indulgent scenarios for stiles and malia. This is super cute actually.

Summary
It was a matter of minutes. Minutes that could have changed his fate, that could have averted the fast-approaching disaster that was coming straight at Mike Wheeler.
Minutes that were wasted because no one noticed his disappearance.
And so he was left alone, with something new and dangerous in his veins, a scream in his head, and only one goal: to get out of here.
─┉─ • ─┉─
Or: Mike Wheeler is dragged to the Soviet Union by the Russians, gains powers, and does everything it takes to survive. Everything.

Summary
The truth is that Mike Wheeler is intense. He walks around like a live wire. Like he’s always five seconds from exploding. And Chance can’t stop looking.
There’s something about him—something sharp and unsteady, like glass right before it shatters. He’s not like anyone Chance knows. He’s not like anyone wants to know. He doesn’t smile. Doesn’t laugh. Doesn’t do small talk.
And for some reason, that makes Chance want to crawl inside his head and stay there forever.
Which—yeah. Weird. Definitely weird.
or
Mike hates Chance. Chance is absolutely infatuated with him.

Summary
Immediately post-Season 4, the gang are catching up and reuniting at Hopper's old cabin. Mike, who's been on the edge of a panic attack for the past few days, excuses himself to get some 'fresh air'- unbeknownst to anyone but Joyce, who still isn't fully up-to-date on the Vecna situation. After about 30 minutes, the group notices his absence and are immediately concerned. They can't find Mike anywhere in the surrounding area, but they find the exact thing they were dreading; a small gate.
Mike finds himself in the Upside-Down, but the circumstances are strange. Vecna is nowhere to be seen and the area around him is completely barren. It's an elaborate plot to torment Mike with his greatest fears; forcing him to relive his own worst memories with his family and friends by his side.
How much could one kid have to hide, anyways?
