Just read Asking Too Much, and I need more Mike realizing he's gay and reaching out instead of pulling away.
I didn't expect character development to be so good when I started reading this one. it's not super long but also not super short. (30k I think)
Will's frustrated about bad hookups and Mike offers to help.

I fell in love with Mike's sexuality awakening in this and my favorite part was the first thing he wanted to do when he realized he was gay, was go tell Will.
Now I need more like this. Y'all know of any fics where Mike realizes he's gay but instead of pushing people away he reaches out?? Any non-avoidant Mike?
And maybe this is a stretch to ask for, but what about a non-avoidant Will?
Any fics which demonstrate secure attachment styles? (in one or both characters) I know this would minimize opportunities for angst. but there could be externally driven angst.
