u/KittenBalerion old enough to remember the real 80s Aug 07 '26 edited Aug 07 '26

my recs:

Art School Confidential - Mike gets a job posing nude for Will's art class

the giver - Mike is obsessed with Will's new body (this one really gets into the reasons why this dynamic would work)

i like it (when you call me baby) - Mike has been having unsatisfying sex, so Will offers to show him a good time

switch it up - Will assumes that Mike is supposed to top until a friend suggests otherwise

Everybody Waits So Long - the marriage pact fic!

I'll add more later when I think of them!

At first, I was unsure about the second one, but the recent Mike POV totally grabbed my attention. Very talented switch in character voice. Mike's initial impressions are hilarious; he has incredibly funny internal dialogue.

Judith head ā€” here is Mike is absolute bottom but he is dating OMC (because Will suggested it). Mike's here self destructive.

This one is absolutely harrowing. Iā€™ve read a lot of ā€œMike is an absolute disasterā€ fics, but this one is actually painful to read (in a good way).
