Summary
Mike has been mastering the skill of skipping school since he was Holly’s age.
He’s learnt a few tips.
Parents always fall for the clammy hands. It’s physical evidence of illness. It’s a good, non-specific symptom. Parents are generally pretty gullible for the fever scams. Unless they’re like, doctors or physiotherapists or whatever. And to make them work you have to go to a hundred and one, a hundred and two. You get a nervous mother and you end up in a doctor’s office. Which is even worse than school.
He knows from experience.
Or
A Ferris bueller’s day off rewrite (and by rewrite I mean I found the script online and copied 80% of the dialogue) but add Mike Smoking, Willel chaos and completely erase any supernatural plot. So basically nothing from the show and everything from the movie. Enjoy!

Summary
After Vecna's curse is unleashed onto Hawkins, the town has been placed under government lockdown as the contagion continues to spread. Everyone’s been forced to the margins as they try to pick up the pieces. Maybe it's the swirling spores in the atmosphere or the grief that seems to linger everywhere, but it feels like everyone's haunted by something.
Everyone except Mike, that is. He's the heart, right? He's keeping it together.
He's the only one acting normal.

Stuck in a form that’s not his own, he’s forced to watch his town panic over his disappearance then be terrorized by the same monster that hunted him.
But, hey. At least he’s got Mike.

Summary
In the aftermath of the Battle of Starcourt, everything had changed. Mike craved normalcy more than anything, but he knew he would most likely never have it again. Well, at least he could still pretend, right?
If there was one thing he was good at, it was putting up walls.

Summary
To commemorate Eddie Munson's long-awaited high school graduation, the Party celebrates by hightailing it to... camp?!
The teens have a solitary stretch of a week all to themselves. The location? A lakeside campground in rural Massachusetts. Picturesque and allusive. The plan? Who knows. It's a free-for-all. Hilarity and drama are destined to ensue.
It's like summer camp, but gayer. It’s going to be a very fun week.

Summary
“Ohhhhh shit. Oh no no no no I fucked up…”
“What. Did. You. Do?"
“She hates me,” Mike sobbed. “It’s over, we’re done. She fucking hates me. Tonight was s’pposed to be perfect. I was trying to prove it to her. I can’t believe I told her…shit I can’t believe I said that…”
“I’m sure she doesn’t hate you, Mike. You can talk to her in the morning, after…”
“I told her I was in love with Will.”
Will froze. “W-what?” he stammered.
..
Mike shows up at the Byer-Hopper cabin after THE worst date ever. Will is left to pick up the pieces, trying to push aside his own feelings so he can be there for El. But now the dynamic between the three of them is forever changed, and nobody’s sure how to go from here. -

Summary
“Why do you care?” he whispered, heart wrenching.
Mike’s eyes were pleading, the sun shining through the edges of his hair like a halo. He was beautiful. He was forbidden. He was out of reach.Mike smiled, a real smile, the type of smile he only ever let out around Will.
And Will was done for.-
In which I feel the need to fix the trainwreck that was the van/painting scene.

Summary
Set after the events of S4 SPOILER WARNING RIGHT NOW ( like not the most but still) where Eddie isn't dead, blah blah blah we pretend Hawkins is ‘safe’. Let’s all pretend in the time that Eddie is in the “hospital” the crew deals with the storm thing :D
Anyway, Eddie is 010, most of the gang is relocating to get away from Hawkins, Dustin is the best, I think El and Eddie would get along, and Steddie to come.
Is entirely canon compliant, (for everyone let’s just say Wayne learns that his nephew is okay but only after he is out of Hawkins :))
--
"He opens his eyes to a blindingly bright light, and the clicks and whirs of machines, and a steady beep of a heart rate monitor. Faint chatter of two voices. Sounds of a hospital, but as he would later discover, this is no ordinary hospital. Last thing Eddie Munson remembers was talking to Dustin, and the sensation of choking on his own blood."
