You asked about fav bottom mike fics so:
The OGs:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/50317075 - id_rather_be_home (you probably know this one car oneshot).
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24944635/chapters/60376069 - yousaidyes (though this one probably only fits by technicality)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/50422168 - kissing practice (omegaverse so may not be your cuppa but I think Mike is captured really well with his sneaky little plotting).
The brave new warriors:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/77348821/chapters/204012001#main - leighj (prob needs an intox tag forthe beginning)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/78064156#main - anon (mixed feels about goth Will but this perfection)
https://archiveofourown.org/series/5609951 - ch3kov (this is the Mike goads Will to pin him to a wall series)
Honestly there are sooooo many good ones out there picking favs is hard. All of these showcase Mike and Will as true equals and get frequent rereads.
What about yours?
(Also- very annoyed i cant tag this as mature content. Tumblr wtf??)

live from the stage [by: @byersblues (perpetuallymad)]
Will has always had a knack for sensing when his boyfriend was seconds away from having a moment of clinical insanity. This particular moment just so happened to be right now, right before his band’s first live performance. And that just wouldn’t do, Mike had been excited about this for weeks, Will would help him through this, as he always had.
this one is so good! PWP. Dom Will is by far one of my favs, and he is just basking in all of mikes glory before taking care of mikes anxiety. some public humiliation and they look cool doing it.
The Rawest Desire (In It's Friendliest Form) [by: vecnabutworse]
Logline: While home alone in Mike's bedroom, Will and Mike realize just how much they've been hiding from each other and themselves. Who knew their deepest secrets were hidden behind their lips and beneath their clothes?
Dom will and good boy Mike oh how we need you. a true bottom mike classic!
the urge [by: @meowyster]
Presentations were impossible to predict but if there was anyone in the Party that were to break that rule it would be Will and Mike, almost certain to be an omega and an alpha. But as with anything in their lives, that’s not how it works out. When Mike finally presents it’s not as an alpha like everyone expects, but an omega, and Will follows suit, presenting as an alpha only a few months later. It’s shocking and unexpected, but to a boy who’s been in love with his best friend for years, it’s just about the best news he could hear. They’re complimentary in every way, alpha and omega, Will and Mike—and not even Will’s rising possessiveness can change that, even when the only thing that makes him feel better is scenting Mike so much he hardly smells like himself anymore. But it’s only a matter of time until Mike catches on to the fact that his need to scent him maybe isn’t all that platonic after all.
ABO!!! abo has always been and will always be my fav genra. this one is alpha will x omega mike! this one is fun because they are both just so pathetic for each other! and their is a fun mix of lucidity and feelings during their heat/rut!
My Muse. All Mine. [by: @ghoulsanderson]
Will's classmate draws Mike in her sketchbook, and Will gets a little possessive.
Possessive Will!! this one is great! again really good characterizations, and we get some angry will wanting to keep his love to himself! also im a sucker for artist fics so maybe im bias lol
Mike's Very Byler Book [serries by: @deorlings ]
fic 1: In 1996, Mike releases a book inspired by the party and their adventures. A small but loud fandom forms around shipping The Paladin and The Sorcerer. But, that was all wrong. Mike had never been in love with Will, had he? fic 2: Mike and Will have a discussion over their sex life and boundaries.
this one is really good and tender. it contends really well with the cannon ending and like gives the characters time to grow. it handles mikes internalized homophobia well, and like wills attempt at understanding mike where he is at. while both being insatiable yearners. and this one does a really good job at including El in the narrative gave me the big feelings ;-; the 2nd fic does a great job talking about Wills PTSD and IDKKKK like this fic is smut but it also handles queerness in such a tender way!
Your Body, My Temple [by: Smalltown_boy]
He wanted this, but what Mike wasn't prepared for is Will's tendency to play keep-away. Now he has to behave and get through whatever Will has in mind…or cave and use the safeword. Mike never uses the safeword. Also known as; Will is a soft Dom but he's still mean, then Mike is a brat Sub but he's also a stupidly needy power bottom.
a great PWP! dom will and sub mike, with some toy play. very fun because they are both brat and brat tamer in this fic. of course mike is our bigger bratty begging bottom, but will is a pretty good snarky brat top here too!
❄️ rip i lost some of my freakyer bottom mike links but when i hunt them down again ill try and make another rec list
