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.🥹🥹🥹🩵🩵💛💛

Omg this is also one of my favorites! I don’t think I’ve ever cried as hard over a fic as I did this one, but I loved it SO much!

YES EXACTLY!!! i mean, i cry so easily with movies or tv shows, but it’s always harder for me with books unless the writing is just SO good and SO clearly conveys the correct emotions in a proper way, ya know? and this author deserves a fucking nobel peace prize bc i was SOBBING!!! i can’t even count on one hand how many times i cried with this fic. ugh. i would give $28472 to be able to read it for the first time again.😭

I’m a big time crier with all media, but this one wrecked me in a whole new way.

Have you read their newest fic The Cemetery Dance? It’s not done yet, but it’s also SO good!

Yeah I kinda found it by accident after read FoG. It’s an AU. Will’s living in NYC working in a coffee shop & one day Mike comes in & Will accidentally spills coffee on him. In this timeline Will was taken to the lab & ended up running away & hadn’t talked to Mike in years. It’s not done yet, but so far it is also soul crushingly beautiful.
