EM WHEELER, 1990
ELISE WHEELER, 1990
These are both different versions of Mike that I am writing/have written.
The biggest difference between Em (She/He) and Elise (She/Her) is wether or not I followed the s5 canon when writing them.
Em is the result of a non canon compliant future au. The biggest changes in her universe being that El is alive, Em was taken instead of Holly, and Henry Creel has been dead since 1983. Em has dissociative amnesia due to his experience in Camazotz with Max, which is something he’s been torn up over and will be toe up over for A While. Em has a strained relationship with El and Max, which in turn makes her isolationist tendencies worse. Her relationship is strained with El because shorty after Em’s possession, they broke things off and never quite resolved why. Then, in the aftermath, El had to leave for Iceland to hideaway. The relationship with Max is strained because Max remembers everything Em can’t, which is the source of a lot of jealousy and tension between the two. The MadHopWheels trio is very connected in this au. Platonically and also Psychically! El saved both of their lives using happy memories (Max in the Creel House and Em at the quarry) resulting in them having a connection. Max’s is stronger due to the amnesia, which is another point of contention.
Elise is a canon complaint version of Mike. Her story starts between seasons 3 and 4, where she develops a bond with max. This bond is sparked by a similar disinterest in their other friends and a really awful nicotine addiction. They chain smoke together while they should be in class, and grow to be closer friends. It’s because of this that Elise comes out to Max, who is incredibly supportive and keeps her secret for the next few years. After canon events occur, the death of El only brings them closer together. They do have a small fight about Max leaving to tour America over the summer, but it is resolved with the help of Lucas, who Elise also ends up coming out to. The MadWheeler bond is central to Elise’s transition and ability to love herself. They both see El in each other, and find more comfort with that fact than they know. Elise eventually moves in with both Lucas and Max!
