Summary
“Hey, Mike,” Will started, voice a little nervous. “Uh… do you happen to know where room 213 is? Math with Ms. Miller?”
Mike closed his locker and offered him a small, shy smile. “Yeah! I actually have her first period too. We could walk together—if you want.”
“That… that would be great. Thanks.” Will felt a little of the tightness in his chest ease, though he didn’t know why. Besides Jane, Mike was the only person in this hallway who made everything more comfortable.
By the time he got to his room later, sketchbook on his lap, he couldn’t stop thinking about the boy with the steady eyes, the calm smile, and the way the hallway hadn’t felt so overwhelming when Mike had been there.
OR
A year after Joyce and Lonnie’s divorce, the Byers move to Hawkins, Indiana, where Joyce is with Chief Hopper. Will starts at a new school with his stepsister, Jane, and quickly finds himself navigating a new life, new friends, and a boy who makes his chest flutter in ways he didn’t expect. Jane drags him along to meet the Party, but it’s Mike Wheeler who captures his attention—quiet, steady, and impossible to ignore.

Summary
A new life outside of Hawkins was what the group had always dreamed of—the chance to leave the battles, the monsters, and the dangers behind. They needed to return to living normal lives, and it seemed there was no better place for that than Oregon, where they had all decided to attend university.
And it was perfect—at last, the peace they so deeply deserved. Or at least that was what Mike Wheeler wanted to believe. The unexpected sight of a boy stepping out of Will Byers’ bedroom had definitely caused no reaction in him, no alarming reaction, nothing that could disturb his calm. That was certain… or at least that was what he kept trying to tell himself, trying to ignore the strange sensation in his chest, trying to ignore what he seemed to have been ignoring for quite some time.

Summary
For the last two years, Mike had been living with Angela and Tobias. One of those people is someone Mike would never have guessed in a million years he would be friends with.
Angela was the same Angela he had met in California when he met up with El and Will in Lenora. The same Angela that El had pretended to be friends with, only for Mike to find out later, had actually been El's bully in school. And, yes, the same Angela that El had hit in the face with a roller skate—still rocking the scar above her nose to prove it.
The two had become friends about a year after Mike moved to California to attend the University of Southern California. The story behind it was never one either of them liked to talk about in much detail, since it wasn't under the most extraordinary of circumstances.
Life was just like that sometimes—unexpected and full of things you're never truly meant to understand.
The study of Michael Wheeler and what happens when he accidentally bites off more than he can chew, using a fake boyfriend—all to woo over a certain Will Byers, who has a real boyfriend of his own.

Summary
Rated teen and up for language used
This is basically me fucking with the idea that Mike is actually Richie Tozier from It! ik so original ...ha..haANYWAYS! YES! Mike is Richie, the Party is going to visit the Byers for the summer. Unknown to Mike, the Byers moved to Derry! YAY!!
"Mike was glad to go visit his friends but if he knew visiting would mean returning to Derry? He definitely would have taken more time to decide, that's for sure.
It's not that he never wanted to set foot in Derry again, he did, well... ok yes.He did want to go back to Derry. When everything was settled and back to normal in Hawkins, Mike would love to return to Derry. But Derry meant old memories, an old life, old friends he hadn't heard from in three years. That wasn't his nor their fault. So much for besties for the resties!!!
Needless to say, Mike's shitting himself as he pat down his pockets and dug in Nancy's glove compartment for his glasses.
He had to make sure. He needs to make sure." -

Summary
Mike grapples with internalized homophobia and the fear of his friendships changing, while his younger sister Holly retreats into imagination, creating an imaginary friend named Mr. Whatsit.
As Eleven learns to better control her powers, she is also forced to confront the deterioration of her relationship with Mike—pushing her to grow into her own person beyond it.
Lucas’s unwavering devotion to Max—spending nearly every day at the hospital by her side—has begun to take a serious toll on his mental health, wearing him down in ways he can no longer hide.
Dustin, still grieving the loss of one of his closest friends, struggles to process his pain. His grief often manifests as anger, causing him to lash out at the very people who are trying to support him.
And Will, burdened by an unspoken love for his best friend, grapples with his own fears—haunted by the lingering presence of the Upside Down and the constant threat of Vecna, never fully certain he’s free from it.

Summary
“Besides,” she continues, “the Jungle Chronicle was one of your all-time best sellers! It was such a unique dive into romance, and time as an enemy…I mean, really, it’s probably my favorite of—”
“Ok. So, what? They want me to go somewhere for a week?” Mike bites his cheek, yielding to some dog walkers. He’s getting closer to his house, and he doesn’t want to continue the call past his commute home.
“Yes. Specifically Iceland. It has such a unique history with witches, vikings, and volcanoes. The landscape, I’ve heard, is alien. Just completely incredible. I would love to go there sometime, actually. I’m trying to convince my fiance that it would be a good place to honeymoon—”
“Iceland? Don’t they get, like, four hours of sunlight a day?”
“In winter? Yes, and that’s when you would be going. Though dawn starts before the sun reaches the horizon, and sunset lasts even after…so it's more like seven to eight hours.”Basically:
Mike Wheeler's writing is now redundant. The publishing company sends him abroad to clear his mind. What can go wrong? Featuring Flashbacks spanning over fifty four years and regrets spanning lifetimes! -
