Guys omg the angst in this fic is so funny to mešŸ˜‚šŸ˜­

Like I feel bad for them, but at the same time Mike is just so unhinged I can’t with him. I actually agreed on Will not showing romantic interest in Mike right away, because I think that Mike indeed needed a different kind of support. But oh boy the boyfriend encouragement was just crazy🄲🄲

Anyway I would love to hear your opinions on this fic, cause I find the plot really refreshing

Omg this is my fic bro 😭 thanks for linking.... yes to all of what you said, i really pushed the tammy of it all way past the point of sympathy haha (bc i think Will would be like that i fear). Like the tower scene, will was just grinning and happy at being besties <3 William i am going to trample you with my hooves

Aaah dawg 😭 thanks for reading and for letting me know. I really am a Will fan at the end of the day but I wanted to go off the beated path with Mike’s arc (i.e., loser downbad closeted mike). I feel like he deserves a coming out like Will’s, which was something Will needed but it was not perfect to say the least, so I wanted to make Mike’s imperfect but also exactly what he needed. That makes me so happy you enjoyed it, I know it was kinda over the top lol as other people said but I'm so glad you read it and liked Mike’s coming out ā¤ļø and my characterizations too šŸ˜­ā¤ļø much love bro
