Summary
After what felt like forever, they actually did it—they were getting out of Hawkins. Just like Mike had promised.
He got his licence earlier this year and they’d started driving—anywhere, everywhere. The quarry, the lake, a hill they claimed as their own, always stargazing on. Windows down, music too loud, Will’s hand resting somewhere it always seemed to end up—Mike’s knee, his wrist, tangled in his fingers.
It had been small at first. Just leaving for a few hours at a time.
Now they were leaving for real.
BUT what happens when they get invited to a college party, some guy starts trying to chat up Will and Mike's had a few too many?
or
Jealous Mike Wheeler. Period.

Summary
“Did you feel it too?” Will asked, not looking up. “When Dustin mentioned past lives. You...you remembered something, I saw your face.”
or: Mike is a paladin who lost his faith in God but not in one single person.
This is not a love story with a happy ending. This is a love story that refuses to end at all.

Summary
Mike wakes to the sound of movement in the kitchen. He pushes himself up, still groggy, and steps into the hallway.
“Hey, baby,” a voice says easily, not looking up. “You want coffee—?”
Carlton turns around, stops short. Blinks once.
“Oh,” he says, then laughs under his breath. “You’re… not Will.”
Mike freezes.
Or,
Post-canon, Mike Wheeler crashes at his best friend’s New York apartment for a book deal. But he wasn't ready to see this version of Will Byers: confident, successful, in love, surrounded by community and so, so free.
While Will lives the life he has always deserved, Mike grieves El and comes to the quiet, devastating realization that he might be in love a few years too late.
Despite everything, they still seem to find their way back to each other.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.
Will Byers was never found Au

Summary
The sound of another pair of skates made Will whip his head around, just to see something pulled straight from one of his nightmares.
Mike Wheeler. On skates. Wearing that stupid smirk on his face as he glided in Will’s direction.
“What are you doing here?” Will asked, unamused.
Mike shrugged, still smirking. “What does it look like? I’m skating, genius.” Will would usually describe himself as a pacifist, but he really wanted to hit him right now.
Will Byers just wanted to get through his senior year in one piece, get his art scholarship, and place at the US figure skating championships. Enter Mike Wheeler, the loud and obnoxious co-captain of the Hawkins Tigers hockey team, and Will's former best friend.
