Summary
"Mrs. Wheeler, these next questions are important, so if you would pay attention, please." Karen snapped her gaze away from where she was watching Mike draw spiders crawling over the rainbow. The doctor looked at her expectantly, his pen poised over the clipboard. "Thank you. Do lights often flicker around your son?"

"Just," she started, her voice quiet. "Would it be so bad? If Dad was right?" Nancy scooched a little bit closer. "Not- not about the crazy, demonic stuff, obviously, just the... the other thing?"
"Mickie, look at me." Mickie turned, tears brimming in her eyes. Her hands reached out wildly, and Nancy grabbed them, stilling the shaking. "Do you mean if Jo was a-" She paused, blinking away the blurriness in her own eyes. "If Jo liked girls?"

Save Me (I'm The Writing On The Wall) by RoseByAnyOtherName17
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
05 Dec 2025

Summary
“I’m just…thinking.”
“Well, can you think out loud?” Will gripes, sounding tense and unhappy even as he settles back against Mike’s chest. “You’re making me nervous.”
Mike laughs a little. “I’m not sure I should; I don’t want to freak you out.”
“Mike,” and Will sounds supremely unimpressed, “I just took control of three Demos, two of which were miles away, and proceeded to snap their limbs and kill them with my mind. Not only that, I just told you that I did it by drawing strength, in large part, from being your friend. You’re worried about freaking me out? Really?”
“Yeah, and I’m the guy who watched you do it and thought that it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen in my life, so what does that say about me?”
There’s a long, shocked silence.
“See, this is why I don’t think out loud,” Mike jokes weakly.
--
Mike falls a little bit more in love with Will because, at this point, who wouldn't? He just saved Mike's life, after all. Unfortunately, the others don't quite see it that way, and it's getting to Will a little bit. Mike intends to remedy that.
Immediately following the ending of season 5 episode 4: Sorcerer

Summary
Mike’s love for Will was a weakness they couldn’t afford anymore.
He was thinking this as they left his old room, descended the staircase, flashed their intention to leave through the kitchen light and received confirmation from Joyce and his mom. He was thinking this as they stepped back out into his garage, where he finally opened his mouth and said, “Am I too late?”
Will, a few steps in front of him underneath the lone garage light, turned. “What?”

Where Mike and Will get stuck in the Upside Down and somehow, that's not their biggest problem. Mike's timing, however...

I Will Follow You (Into The Dark) by RoseByAnyOtherName17
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Sep 2025

Summary
Maybe One is right; maybe Will hates him, wants him dead. Maybe Will lied that night, months ago, when he promised Mike that he would never join One willingly, no matter what the bastard was telling him in the seemingly endless nightmares that plagued him. When he tried to make Mike promise that he would do whatever it took to end this, no matter what happened to Will in the process.
Mike wouldn’t make that promise. He just promised Will, in his own head, that if it came down to it, neither one of them would die without knowing the truth. And Mike can’t breathe right now, let alone form the words out loud, so instead, he begins to tap on Will’s hand. Familiar dots and dashes, determined to keep his promise.
I, he taps, unable to hear anything over the roaring in his ears.
Love, he taps, watching One move Will's mouth through blurred vision.
You, he taps, and something in those brown eyes flickers, just for a moment.
--
In which Will is possessed by One and Mike figures, if he's going to die, he might as well pour out his heart anyway. (Spoiler alert: he doesn't die.)

I Know You Know (Your Heart Is Helpless) by RoseByAnyOtherName17
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 May 2026

Summary
“My point,” Will says, mouth twitching at the corner for a second before he looks Mike in the eye, “is that you’re allowed to feel whatever you’re feeling. Or not feeling. Mike, you’re my best friend, okay? There’s nothing you could ever say to me that’s going to change that.”
Then again, maybe the timing is never going to be right, Mike realizes. But Will is looking at him steadily, maybe slightly nervously, and fiddling with Mike’s fingers with his own. Straightening them out one by one, curling Mike’s hand back into a fist, tapping his knuckles, twining their fingers together and releasing them. Nervous energy, Mike knows now. It’s humming between them both, making his skin spark everywhere they touch.
Will is giving him an opening.
So Mike gathers all his courage and says quietly, “You heard what I said to you.”
And Will nods.
--
When Will gets trapped in the void after they finally defeat Vecna, Mike can't help spilling everything he's kept from Will in the hopes that it helps Will wake up. Then Will does, and Mike has to deal with the consequences of his honesty as their friends and family figure out how to move forward.

Summary
Vecna didn't need to pry to figure out Mike Wheeler's biggest fear. He didn't have to search through memories, didn't have to conjure up falsities or manufacture horrifying circumstances; Mike had crafted his own worst nightmare already.
When Vecna sets his sights on him, Mike doesn't tell anybody about the nightmares or the visions, because then he would have to tell them what it is he's seeing: himself.
