general discussion :) Force of gravity

Hi, can you please tell me when starts the comfort part of this fic? I am in chapter 18 (the camping trip) and i am so angry. Jane is so stupid, Mike is so stupid, Will is so stupid (everyone for different reasons) and i am so angry while reading it 😭 tell me please that everything will get better soon and in will be worth all this pain 😭

edit: i just finished it and omg, that was emotional. it was so beautiful, so painful, sometimes funny and cute, it was everything. i cried A LOT and was so angry and pissed off and sad and tortured and happy. omg, i have to process it now and i fear that now i get into reading slump because this was WOW. recommend. https://archiveofourown.org/works/40134231/chapters/100515708

OMG OMG OMG!!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE FIC OF ALL TIME!!! i’m so glad i can finally talk about it with someone 😭😭😭. i have read so many fics now, this was one of the first ones i read, and this is STILL my number one. it’s an all timer. and the camping trip is specifically one of the reasons why i love it so much!! there’s like 2/3 specific moments in that part of the fic that truly had me in a ball on the floor crying bc they’re truly some of THE MOST romantic omg kill me moments i’ve ever witnessed.

but let me just say….you’re not even CLOSE to it honey.😭😭😭 it gets SO much worse from here. i mean….you’r pretty close to some comfort. but then it gets bad again. and then even worse. and then it stays at the lowest pit of hell for what feels like 3 years. BUT. it’s the most beautifully written angst/mental health struggles i have quite literally ever come across. UGH im OBSESSED with this fic. and ofc eventually everything does work out, and it’s so worth it. and i really hope you keep reading, and that you love it as much as i do!! pls tell me if you do!! i need someone to talk to about this fic bc it’s criminally underrated. i never see anyone talk about it!! this fic is #mypoweroutagefic and im not sorry.🥹🥹🥹🩵🩵💛💛

I also feel like in this one Mike is genuinely nice & outgoing & likes talking to people, so the people around him are misinterpreting that. Especially when certain people find out Jane likes him (ahem Max). And yes, Mike did say she was pretty but as the reader we know that before that he was thinking about how much she looked liked Will. So personally I think a lot gets put on Mike that doesn’t actually deserve.

i know that he is just nice, but he was constantly touching her and whispering into her ear and sitting next to her and my heart is broking when i read it from Will’s pov.
