    Summary

    The inky blackness caused the coral to die and the fish to get sick. When the fish got sick, then Mike and Will got sick, with Will receiving the worst of it. He could barely keep anything down without his stomach rejecting it. Lesions formed, his fins flaked, and the energy in his body quickly depleted. He remembers how Mike would do his best to comfort and encourage Will to eat to no avail.

    That’s where Will’s memory became hazy, and now he found himself here. Trapped in an unfamiliar place, away from his mate and his home, with no way out.

    Will and Mike are two merpeople who get caught up in an oil spill on the California coastline. They are taken to Lenora’s Marine Rehabilitation Center, where they are cared for by Max, Jane, Dustin, and Lucas.

    Summary

    Mike had never been the best at the whole regulating emotions healthily thing, but there was only so much Nancy would take.

    It was painfully clear that he was distraught, and Nancy was sure she knew why. Will Byers, the love of his life, the boy Mike has been in love with since he was six, officially moved out of their house.

    The Byers were living with them for at least two months until they received a surprising amount of hush slash “sorry about all this, I really didn’t think this would happen” money from a certain Sam Owens, and bought back their old house. The family who lived there was just happy to get it off their hands and get out of Hawkins, which was very reasonable considering the town was collapsing in on itself.

    Inspired from a post I saw on Pinterest w/ Nancy saying she fixed Mikes love life n Will being mad at her cause Mikes sobbing at his house... anyways enjoy (I tried my hardest)

    Summary

    He has to turn back— back into his human form to heal— but he can't.

    He closes his eyes, ragged breaths leaving his mouth, his chest is heaving and it hurts, everything hurts— something is definitely broken. The more he tries to focus on changing, the less conscious he feels, different colored spots fill his vision, the faint moonlight doing nothing but make him feel more lightheaded and-

    Summary

    Moving out of Hawkins for college was supposed to be a fresh start for Mike and Will. They were supposed to get away from the lingering memories, away from the whispering, away from all the pain.

    Summary

    From the day he was born, Mike Wheeler has been a disappointment.

    Everyone in Hawkins knows how things are supposed to work. Alphas lead, omegas follow, and people grow into the roles they're meant to fill. Mike is expected to present alpha, just like his father. Will Byers is expected to present omega, just like everyone assumes.

    But expectations have a funny way of being wrong.

    When Will presents alpha, Mike begins to realize that the rules everyone built their lives around might not be nearly as reliable as they think.
