Summary
"“W-what happened?” Will asks, and sure enough, through his watery gaze Mike sees that same thing he’s heard in Will’s voice, or better, doesn’t see, because it’s an absence, an emptiness, even if Mike can’t quite pinpoint it. Something is still wrong.
“Oh honey, you went in a trance for a moment there, scared us to death. But you fought, you fought that vicious monster, and now you’re back,” Joyce explains, her voice soft.
Will frowns, the confusion in his gaze deepening. “What? What monster?” He asks, and Mike’s knees tremble. Something is very wrong.
“Vecna,” Mike replies before he can stop himself, and Will’s gaze finally turns to him.
And there’s nothing there. Will’s expression as he gazes at his best friend is… blank.
“Who are you?” Will asks, and the world comes crashing down on Mike."Will uses his powers to save his friends, and Vecna strikes back. When he wakes up, he doesn't remember anything about Vecna and the Upside Down, and he doesn't remember Mike. Mike is crushed, but he could never give up on Will. So he helps him get his memories back, and put an end to this evil once and for all.

Summary
“I’m actually so happy to meet you, guys. Will has talked about you a lot, and,” he looked to his left, locking eyes with Will, “I'm so glad he has such an amazing group of friends, he really deserves it.”
Mike felt violent.
This was the biggest problem about Carlton. He was perfect.
He was nice, kind and had a soft voice that matched Will's.
If Carlton was an asshole who treated Will badly, his reason to hate him would be normal. But there he was, stuck with his “instinct” and looking insane. He knew he looked insane, he felt insane.
Mike started to empathize with Joyce.

Or:
Will's boyfriend seems to be perfect and Mike hates him. And he shows it too.

Summary
Set after vol.1
“I'm not a fucking bitch!”
“Language”, Steve said, clearly annoyed. “You should slow it, Wheeler. You’re already on beer three.”
“Can you stop being such a mom?”
“Well, sorry for being the only responsible adult in this room, but you guys are like sixteen. Also, where the hell is Murray?”
“Mooooooooooom”, Mike drawled, his head lolling back as he rolled his eyes very dramatically.
Robin had to bite back another snort when she saw the giant side eye Eleven was shooting her boyfriend. She clearly wasn’t a fan of this drunk version of Baby Wheeler.
Meanwhile Will only chuckled at Mike’s antics, throwing a wrapped piece of chocolate at him. “You should listen to him Mike, you’re already crosseyed.”
Or:
After Will saves everyone from the Demos he’s out for several days. Robin makes some discoveries about a certain Baby Wheeler and starts counting snowballs. Just as she’s about to go insane with the two boys’ obliviousness, everyone decides to get drunk and new possibilities arise.(look at tags)

Summary
Now, Mike had almost three extra years' worth of memories, including the revelation and inevitable acceptance of his feelings for his best friend and the subsequent aftermath of said best friend’s heroic sacrifice.
“No, no, no, NO! I just got you back! Please, please, Will, please–I can’t lose you, not again! WILL–”
He remembered the two girls placing their hands on his shoulders, Kali’s sympathetic grip and El’s agonized clench as they gazed down at their adopted brother.
Now, here he was, the summer it all started going too wrong to right.
~~~
After Will sacrifices himself to defeat Vecna, Mike is sent back in time to the beginning of season 3 to prevent any more tragedy
Now, he'll do whatever it takes
For Will.

Summary
Robin nodded.
“Okay. Then let’s do this instead. Lucas, you and I go to the hospital and get Max. We move her somewhere safe. The hospital is the most vulnerable place right now.”
Her voice dropped near the end. Will understood her worry and gently pulled Robin back against his shoulder.
“So… when did you two get this close?” Mike suddenly snapped.
Everyone turned to him in surprise.
“Jesus,” Robin muttered, glancing at Will.
Will looked straight at Mike.
“We already talked about this.”
Mike shook his head.
“Yeah, we talked—but this—” he gestured at the two of them, “I didn’t know you were this close.”
Joyce looked at her son and Robin. She knew there was something she didn’t understand yet—but this wasn’t the moment to ask.
“Mike,” Lucas said firmly.
Mike turned to him.
“We need to get to the hospital. This isn’t about Will and Robin being close.”
Mike took a deep breath.
“You’re right. I’m sorry.”

Summary
Sure, it was Mike and El’s wedding, but it was also partially a reunion. Close family and friends were going to be there and it would’ve been more awkward if Will didn’t go.
“You guys used to be best friends, Will,” Nancy said, as if she was reading Will’s own internal monologue.
But it was different, now. Much too different.
“Will, I want to see you there. I need to see you there. Pl-Plea- I don’t want to-”
OR: It's 1995, Will goes back to Hawkins for Mike and El's wedding, and gets looped back into Mike's repressed homosexuality and his own buried emotions.

Summary
It’s been three years after the events of season 4, and time has done nothing to mend the growing cracks in Mike and Will’s friendship. The party, once thought to be lifelong friends, has broken apart and gone their own ways, trying to move past the horrors they’ve endured. They closed the gate. They saved Max in time. Vecna is dead.
Will Byers, however, is still haunted by the memories of what happened all those years ago, trapped, alone, and unable to move on. But when those memories start bleeding into real life, and imagined threats start to become all too real, Will must find it within himself to fight this evil one more time.
When that leads to Mike Wheeler showing up in his life once more, well, that’s just one more headache Will doesn’t want to deal with. He’s moved on, and Mike is just a bitter reminder of everything he’s lost.
-
“I’m sorry, Will.” Mike spoke the words softly, a near-whisper that could’ve easily been swept into the quiet whistle of the wind, only heard by the one who uttered them.
“No, you’re not,” Will says without turning around. “If you were, or if you had been, you wouldn’t be saying this three years too late.”

“So.” Mike said, raising an eyebrow at the smirking boy in front of him.
“Didn’t Karen tell you to give me a tour? Of course, I’d much rather get one from her, I mean, maybe when she shows me her bedroom we could—”
“First of all,” Mike interrupted, lifting a finger up and poking it at Richie’s chest, “do not call my mom Karen for gods sake," Richie rolled his eyes, "second of all, you already know your way around, Richie. You’ve been here before. Third of all, ew, Richie, she’s your aunt.” Mike finished, sighing and walking over to the fruit bowl on the counter and grabbing an apple out of it.
“Ew, you actually eat that shit?” Richie asked, scrunching up his nose, as if the thought of eating fruit was gross. Mike looked at him incredulously.
Richie was unaffected by this, and addressed Mike’s previous statement, “Well, sure, I’ve been here before, but that was a while ago. I don’t remember much. For all I know, you could’ve moved everything around since last time.” Richie shrugged, completely ignoring Mike’s third statement.
Richie is visiting, and Mike is not liking the interest he's showing in his best(?) friend.
