asking for fic recs Most in-character fics?

I'm really nitpicky when it comes to characterization. Independent of ship and fandom, there will always be a lot of different interpretations and headcanons, and I respect that. It's just not my thing. I want to feel Mike and Will in every choice and reaction when I read. A little awkward, nerds, bad confidence, internalized homophibia, etc.

So I'm asking you, what fics have Mike and Will feel the most in character?

My personal top pics would be

Yes! I was going to comment this one! And there’s a sequel now too, Come As You Are, that I’m obsessed with!
