Summary
Robin Buckley hasn't been in the "destroy the Upside Down" business long, but it feels like forever. She's done Russians, secret bases, and the bone-snapping Vecna nightmare. She's got the Party figured out: Dustin is the brain, Will is the quiet one, Max is pure gasoline, Lucas is the reliable one, and Mike Wheeler is sarcastic, awkward, and apparently allergic to personal space.
It's been a month since Max woke from her coma, and the gang meets daily to plan Vecna's destruction. Which gives Robin plenty of time to notice that Mike is constantly touching people. Draped over shoulders, head in someone's lap (not sleeping, just lying there), wedged next to someone when three seats are empty, hanging off people's backs like a whiny backpack. And everyone lets him. They let him use them as pillows and give him things when he asks in that pathetic, pleading voice.
At first, it drives Robin insane. Why does no one set a boundary? But the more she watches, the uglier it gets: jealousy. Because Mike never does any of that to her. She's tactile, she likes touch more than she'd admit, but Mike has her flagged as a No-Contact Zone. Even Steve gets the full clingy Wheeler treatment. Everyone does. Everyone except Robin.

Summary
Max Mayfield was used to keeping people at a distance. She knew how the world worked: there were those who cared about you, and those who didn't. Mike Wheeler, it seemed, belonged to the latter—at least, that's how it looked when she tried to fit in with their group.
But something changed.
Suddenly Mike notices when she's too quiet. Suddenly he's there when she's hurting. Suddenly his hand on her shoulder is not an accident, but something taken for granted. He says the right words at the right moment, sees what she carefully hides, and acts as if she had always mattered to him.
Or Mike treats all his friends the same way he treated Will in seasons 1 and 2 — and that's how it's always been

Summary
He threw his bag into his lap. Unzipping it, he fumbled inside before pulling out a smaller drawstring pouch. It clacked with the movement, and he opened it, before emerging with a small figurine.
Inbetween his fingers, he presented her with a small knight. His paint was scratched and worn from years of use. He had a sword and a shield, and his armor was pretty rough. He'd seen better days.
"This is Mike The Brave," he explained. "He goes on these missions called dungeon crawls, where he pretty much fights evil wizards and monsters and … stuff."
He bit his cheek, feeling a little self conscious.
"But … Mike The Brave is never scared. So whenever I feel scared or nervous, I just pretend he's with me, and I feel better."
Mike's hand fell, and he squeezed the figurine.
The body can’t live without the heart. On the night of a crawl, Mike Wheeler is taken.

Young Mike is in Camazotz and has to venture through memories to return to himself.

Summary

And then, the phone rings.

Will Byers, despite Mike's best efforts, is a beam of sunlight. Circling each other over the course of five years, Mike and Will figure out what it means to want to die, what it means to want to live, and what it means for the sun to follow a rainstorm.

Summary
Dustin wasn't the only one who lost Eddie. Mike's grieving him too, but he can't complain, hardly anything's happened to him compared to the others after all. And that's just the way of things; he's Mike the Brave. A great paladin and the heart of the party. But things are different this time. Everyone's falling further and further apart. Dustin's not ready to let Eddie go. Max is stuck in her unexplainable coma, with Lucas all but glued to her side. El and him decided they were better off as friends after California, but with her training all the time and having to hide from the government even that friendship is slipping away. And then there's the Will of it all. A great chasm between the two that's existed ever since their fight in the rain and just kept growing each year like a weed until Mike couldn't even begin to guess how to bridge the divide.
Now Mike spends most of his time talking to an outsider who listens to his problems, ignoring his rapidly worsening symptoms, and generally trying to tape up the cracks in the party as best he can.
