Mike Get’s Vecnad Fic List:

Hi! This is the first fic list I’ll be posting for this blog! As a Mike Wheeler Angst enjoyer who has too many of these, I thought it’d the easiest to start with!

Cry, Boy, Cry

by flyingdeskset

'I tried to write to you Will. I really tried.'

'I know.' Will agreed, something lying just beneath the surface.

Will looked up at him, just like he always did, but there was no trace of the usual kindness and empathy. Instead, his face was cold, eyes showing no feeling and mouth curved up into a smug grin.

'What do you mean you know?' Mike asked quickly, voice breaking.

'You can't hide things forever, Mike. You of all people should know that.'

OR

Mike becomes the next victim of Vecna's curse and has to confront the truth he's been hiding from. Only one song can save him.

i grieve in stereo

by ferngreen

“But it can’t be. I’m not…” His mouth opens and closes a few times. “I’m not—” He shakes his head and mumbles, “Jesus.” He isn’t sure what he was about to say. Traumatized enough? Great fucking job, he says to himself. Now he knows he’s really worthy of a trophy for undergoing terrifying encounters with interdimensional monsters.

a boy who acts his age

by orphan account

Mike opened the lid of the garbage and threw the bag inside, letting the top slam down carelessly, looking at Eddie’s trailer, sound of footsteps running through the house.

Eddie came rushing out, door slamming against the wall of the trailer, opening the car door with shaky hands and yanking it open, driving away, face illuminated with something Mike had seen before- but never on him.

Fear.

Nancy dies instead of Billy- Vecna targets Mike rather than Max.

in other words, i love you

by FilmGirlfriend

“Have you two figured out that you like each other yet?” Murray asks bluntly. Will flinches at this question, flushes, and sees Mike’s facial expression contort in his peripheral view. “What?!” Mike exclaims, motioning erratically at nothing, equally as flushed, Will notes. “What are you talking about?” “Oh,” Murray nods in understanding, taking a deep breath in, “so the obliviousness and denial runs in the family? I should’ve guessed.” Mike goes even more erratic at this, like someone shot pure adrenaline in his veins.

The Elephant in the Room

by Smalltown_boy

My take on the Mike and Will get Murrayed trope. Murray knows this song and dance, he knows it all too well. These boys just need a little nudge. Left with Murray at the cabin for a night despite Will's protest, Mike and Will are faced with the observation skills of an investigative journalist and private detective. One who happens to be gay. Antics ensue.

Three for Three

by careful_wish

Will hurriedly took a drink, but his eyes never left Murray. “You’re the kind to break your own heart in order for those you love to be happy,” Murray added. “You work hard, you pour your everything into those around you, into what you love, until there’s nothing left for you. Nothing left to give yourself.” Mike snapped. “Alright, old man, that’s enough!” “Don’t even get me started on you,” Murray interrupted Mike, making him jerk back slightly. “You think you should live that life, you think that’s the ideal, normal, safe life, but really… you’re lying to yourself. You wanna fit in, you wanna be normal, but really, you know you’re far from it, and you can’t accept it because it means losing that safety and having to face the reality.” - Or the one where Murray reads Will and Mike like open books, all while taking care not to accidentally force them to reveal anything they aren't ready to. After all, he was never given the option.

meet me somewhere in the middle

by tobtea

Mike thinks he’d rather be anywhere else. How he’d even ended up at Murray Bauman’s godforsaken house with Will of all people was a mystery to him, honestly. They'd needed a place to stay and bunker down for a bit. He didn't realize that Nancy gave him a whopping five stars, but now they're here. or, Murray psychoanalyses Mike and Will, airing their emotional issues out to each other.

I’ve seen a lot of people looking for fic recs on this one so I’ve scrapped together a few <3

You & Me

by Pythoness

Mike Wheeler is a coward, he always has been. No matter what anyone says, no matter what anyone does, Mike Wheeler has and always will be a coward. He hides behind Eleven, a girl he doesn't even love, because he's to scared to admit his feeling for his best friend. He writes letters to said best friend but never sends them because he's to scared to see their reaction. He avoided Will because he was scared that he would figure it out somehow. He got possessed by Vecna because he was scared of his feeling. Every brave act he does is a product of adrenaline, he's a coward. It's worse when El breaks up with him, because now he can't hide. It's worse when Dustin spills that he jumped off of the quarry, because now the Party won't leave him alone. And it's worse when Will confronts him at said Quarry because he was stupid and scared enough to run. Now what does he say? Does he tell the truth? Or does he lie?

Summary

“Wait, so—” Lucas’s voice was choked, disbelieving. “You jumped off a cliff? On purpose?” Mike didn’t reply, too busy shoving his panic down as hard as he could, but the non-answer was as bad as an answer. “It’s not a big deal,” he finally managed. “Uh, I’m pretty sure it is.” Now even Max was worried, why was everyone so worried? It. Didn’t. Matter. And he did not want to talk about it. “Like, the definition of a big deal.” _____ the party finds out what happened at the quarry all those years ago

Warmth and Comfort (The Quarry)

by ForrestToffee (FrozenSpellMaster)

It was supposed to be a relaxing day, everyone just hanging out, a break from all the recent chaos. But somehow they got onto the topic of some of the near death experiences The Party had gone through. And Mike should have known better than to trust Dustin to keep his mouth shut about things forever, especially when things become a competition. Because apparently we are now sharing harrowing experiences like jumping off the quarry with the class.  Mike knew he shouldn’t have gotten out of bed this morning.

I lived so we could be forever

by GhoulSanderson

It was terrifying. Mike had never acted like this before, and no amount of doting was fixing him. He felt powerless to do anything but sit and rub his back and wait. And then, Mike’s voice came, answering his questions and creating a thousand more ones simultaneously, and having Will wish he never asked in the first place. “I tried to kill myself.”

A Whisper from the Heart, and I Will Listen

by Svnrae

Perhaps it was the lull in the conversation, or perhaps it was the look that Will gave him, and the trust that laced his voice in every word he spoke. Or maybe, it was the simple fact that tonight, tonight, seemed to be a night of confessions and spilled secrets. “I pushed Troy over in front of everyone in the school gymnasium at your memorial service.” OR Mike and Will have a talk in Mike's basement after the events of season 1. After all, a lot can happen in a week.

by escapinglife

“Will!” He called. “Will!” ”Face it, Michael.” Said a voice from behind him. Mike turned around. It was a horribly disfigured man. The ground squished beneath him with every single step he took. Henry Creel. “He doesn’t need you.” - mike gets vecnad
