It's Mikey's birthday soon and over at

mikeyway_daily we like to celebrate that.

We've been plotting and have various things planned, one of which is a top 30 Mikey focused stories post. Which means I need your help.

I know I've asked this before but I have more people on my flist and more stories have been posted since then. So, I'd love it if you'd tell me your absolute favourite Mikey stories, with links if possible.

Then I'll compile them together and post the top 30 on the day.

If you don't want to comment publicly you can email me at turps33 at gmail dot com

ETA: We're putting out a call for Mikey fanart here. From stick figures to chibis, we'd love it all.

I will try and think of some but I just wanted to check what you meant by Mikey focused. Things where Mikey is in the main pairing but it isn't from Mikey's POV would be ok?

A couple of fic I liked with Mikey in it that immediately spring to mind are very much based on the other character in the pairing so Mikey is kinda secondary. Hmmm.

Because it is *awesome*.

I'll post about fanart in the comm today!

um um um! Okay, I cannot possibly rank anything, but I love these:

I don't read as many Mikey-focused stories, but my favourite is My way home is through you. Someone else must have recced it by now, but just in case ... :)

OMG Do you have all day?? LOL
First of all - it could probably go without saying but - everything by

arsenicjade ever.

Then- in no particular order
And Do Not Call It Fixity (http://nokomis305.livejournal.com/153353.html) Mikey/Mikey/Mikey- need I say more?

Breathing With The Aid Of Denial (http://community.livejournal.com/lupa_libri/122721.html) Not only is it a brilliant s/f au but also Mikey/Ryan! which makes my head explode :D(in a good way )

Shades of Truth (http://turps33.livejournal.com/1023159.html) Kind of a mid-fuck. Brilliant on so many levels. Also: Mikey/Ryan! (my bias does not show does it?)

Conjuring Up Our Melancholy (http://addandsubtract.livejournal.com/47870.html) just gorgeous angsty and pining Mikey/Pete, Mikey/Ryan -wut

Saying Nasty Things (http://frausorge.livejournal.com/122806.html) unique and amazing - Mikey/Pete - hah!

Where Summers Lasted Longer Than We Do (http://unphoenix.livejournal.com/15886.html) beautiful , haunting, Mikey/Pete

I'm forcing myself to stop now. :D

Runthegamut - I'm kind of a record nerd
http://runthegamut.livejournal.com/79738.html

I like this idea, I'll try not to repeat any recs.
- Your Man (http://desfinado.livejournal.com/6776.html)
- Orange is the Smell of Bonfire Burning (http://delphinapterus.dreamwidth.org/78767.html) (I know this is 'verse but it's my favourite in the 'verse)
- This is a Love Song (http://oliviafic.dreamwidth.org/607.html)
- In Which Frank Bakes (http://delphinapterus.dreamwidth.org/105252.html) - I'm not sure if this one counts because it's more comment fic than anything else and gen at that but the Mikey voice in it always makes me laugh.
- Your Tints 'verse
- Fumbling With the Blues (http://archiveofourown.org/works/20822?view_adult=true) (a 'verse as well but I think it reads better a single chaptered work than stand alone stories)
- Chasing Starlight (http://archiveofourown.org/works/108767/chapters/150527) (Space AU)
- Prove the Child Ephemeral (http://archiveofourown.org/works/90822) (Victorian grave robbers where Mikey is still very Mikey)
- Unicorn Pure? What? (http://archiveofourown.org/works/83538)
- The eyes those silent tongues of love (http://delphinapterus.dreamwidth.org/105946.html)
- If I had a (War)hammer (http://community.livejournal.com/no_tags/3715.html)
- Slipping Like a Fault Line (http://archiveofourown.org/works/77493) (Bob POV but really excellent confident Mikey)
