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.
OR
Mike Wheeler and how he confronts his queerness
Covers some of episode one and then post-episode four -

Summary
Mike is seeing things. He’s having nightmares. Does he tell anyone? No, because he doesn’t know this is happening. His mind gets wiped after every strange occurrence, so he’s not worried about it. The only thing he’s worried about is Will, who he thinks doesn’t want to be his friend anymore.
He’s right, of course, Will doesn’t want to be his friend, he wants to be more, but Mike doesn’t need to know that. So, Will is trying to put distance between them as Mike insists on closing the gap, until he realizes there's something happening to Mike. Something that he intends on getting to the bottom of.

Summary
What good is writing anyway? What good is being the “heart” of the entire party if he can’t even control the constant tempest in his own heart?
Mike feels like he’s merely an empty shell of the boy he once was. And honestly, he can’t even begin to recognize the man he is becoming.
** OR **
Mike Wheeler is tormented and pursued by Vecna, and is quickly running out of time. Only Will’s love and Heroes by David Bowie can save him. -

Summary
Mike Wheeler, it's easy to describe him.
he's the heart. the protector.
the one who's never hurt, never scared.
he's Mike.but that's all falling apart, because now? he's having visions. horrible ones. ones he can't forget, can't make up. Visions of himself. His friends. his family. the person he loves.
He's scared. Scared Vecna will come after him. Scared that these visions will become true. That he will lose the only person he's truly loved.
So he's gotta reach out for help. Tell everyone what he's been seeing. But that's not easy for him. Especially when he's trying to keep a secret. -

Summary
The Eye and the Hand of Vecna are living conduits through which Vecna perceives and manipulates the boundary between worlds: the Eye senses proximity, truth, and emotional resonance, while the Hand endures pain to translate that awareness into action. Together, they form a closed circuit; one that allows Vecna not just to observe, but to teach, conditioning his chosen vessels through suffering and attention rather than control.
------
After the battle at the Mac-Z, Will can feel Vecna again- not control, not visions, just pressure. Proximity. While the rest of the remaining Hawkins group are desperately trying to contact the Upside Down, Mike begins to notice a far more dangerous pattern: the closer he gets to answers, to Will, the more his body reacts. Pain becomes feedback.While the group scrambles to figure out what to do next, the reality of what Vecna has in store is subtler and crueler than they ever could've expected. Now that his connection to Will has changed, he needs to shift his method of control.
Mike has a devastating combination of a savior complex and confusion around his own feelings, especially when it comes to Will; this makes him the perfect target.

Summary
He’s back at the quarry. El never saved him. He continues falling, hearing Will’s voice in his head as he falls. He says, “And us? We’ll never be friends. Not until you see what’s in front of you. See the truth of what you are...You’re a coward, Mike.” Mike is about to hit the water...
...when he jolts awake. He is breathing heavily, and his heart races as he takes in his surroundings. He is in the storage closet, on the uncomfortable cot, feeling claustrophobic in his sleeping bag. He sits upwards and tries to regulate his breathing. It was a dream. It wasn’t real. Mike is used to nightmares at this point. He’s had them ever since the day Will went missing, and he has felt uneasy ever since Lucas pointed out that it’s that time of year again.
OR
mike has a headache and is under the curse of vecna. canon compliant at least to volume 1, taking more liberties with vol 2 #becauseican lol. addresses the painting, lettergate, a little bit of mwtfdydgate
POV switches between Mike and Will, sometimes leans a little more omniscient narrator POV

Summary
Will's a true sorcerer. Right after the truth comes to light in the middle of a battlefield, Mike Wheeler finds himself more amazed and enamored with Will than he'd like to admit. However, they don't have time to celebrate the peace, because not much time passes that Vecna comes back, determined to take what Will loves the most if he isn't by his side on this war. So the Demogorgons come too, taking his mother with them and trying to take Mike too. But despite his mother is now theirs, right before Mike enters the Upside Down, Will jumps and goes with him.
They're together now. In the Upside Down. They only had to rescue Will's mother, wherever she happened to be. But they're alone, too, with a long journey ahead of them. Mike knows nothing can go wrong. After all, the only thing Will has accepted is that now he has powers, right?
or
Mike and Will end up alone in the Upside Down.

Summary
He remembers, eyes squeezed shut against the swell of nausea and vertigo that claws through him, being not-quite-thirteen, and listening eagerly to Mr. Clarke explain the science behind dreams.
“Dreams,” he’d said, “are often seen as these sacred experiences, something that has to have a deeper meaning. We have centuries of examples of dream interpretation, the art of examining commonalities between different dreams to find a single interpretation.
“The thing is,” he’d continued, “dreams are just your brain’s way of processing and regurgitating information; a fruit-salad of information, so-to-speak. Sure, it can mean something, but it’s more likely to be a random grab-bag of facts and feelings that you’ve come across in life.”
A fruit-salad of information. Here, in the dark bathroom at a little past three in the morning, Mike breathes carefully, and tries to dissect where the supposed ingredients of his fucked-up dream salad actually came from.
Or:
Vecna is weak. Injured. He's still strong enough to hit the Party where it hurts.

Summary
Post season 4, Mike Wheeler starts having nightmares. At first, they are undistinguishable, but soon he can see faces in them. Specifically, Will Byers face. Scared of what they mean, he pushes them away from him, until he maybe, just maybe, can pretend that everything is normal between them. That is, until the nightmares come true and Mike must confront what he truly, actually feels for his best friend if they ever want to make it out alive.
Featuring: Jealous Mike Wheeler in denial, forced proximity in the Upside Down, Mike getting Vecna's curse and coming to some realizations (+ Mike & Nancy sibling relationship).
This is my way of coping with pre-Vol.2 Byler doubt, enjoy!

Summary
Mike is Will's only true weakness – and strength, this is why Vecna targets him. Vecna shows Mike the truth about his feelings.
Inspired by a dream I had where Mike and Will kissed and it cut out to Vecna, revealing it was all a vision Vecna showed Mike. Also Max woke up to kill him. If this really happens you can call me prophet. -
Tags
Summary
Mike distantly wondered if Will was going to kill him. He was scared at how much the idea didn’t scare him. He would lay there forever if that’s how long it took for Will to kill him. Mike was sure if Will was going to kill him, it would make sense as to why. Will always made sense. Mike never did.
Or: mike gets vecna'd, will panics, and vecna gets defeated with the power of friendship, or something.

Summary
The moment Mike Wheeler realised Vecna was targeting him, he accepted that he was going to die.
Mike hated November.
November was when Will went missing.
November was possession and hospitals.
November was watching Will’s body being dragged out of the quarry, pale and lifeless, while Mike’s world split cleanly in two.November was cursed. At least, that was what Mike told himself.
That belief lodged itself deeper the morning he woke up on November 1st

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.

will has dreams that aren't just dreams and mike goes missing. secrets are fickle things and feelings are complicated, but one thing is sure: the party will not rest until their paladin is safe.
