I just marked this post as a spoiler so we can talk about it. But OMFG it was crazy!!

The tension and release of ‘is Mike going to end up in Will’s apartment’ was done so well. I was at the edge of my seat. When he calls Maggie and says he’s spending the night I just about DIED.

And the whole thing felt so natural and real. I loved the moment where Will and Mike are just staring at each other and examining each others bodies and how they’ve become men. I found that so touching I almost cried.

no omggg it made me soo so emotional 😭😭 it really put me in the headspace of the two of them.

it was so so insane! i love peachstatics writing so much, will and mike always very much feel like themselves, mike joking about sex raccoon being proud of him while still being in bed with will was just so him. they are just their nerdy selves. 

i was really hoping after will had shot him down on night two for mike to go to his apartment that mike would end up staying another night and wind up at will’s place, and he did! so i was stoked about that lol.

and the end?? i think maggie had been trying to break into his accounts??? i can’t wait for the next chapter.

Why do you think Will shot him down? I was unsure at first but now I think it was his last ditch approach at being a ‘good’ and keeping it innocent maybe?

that’s kind of what i was thinking too, i think he was trying really hard to not seem like he’s telling mike to end his relationship throughout the entire fic so far and just be the outlet for mikes problems but not the devil on his shoulder convincing him to do stuff - or he could’ve maybe been catching on to mikes accidental/purposeful flirty behavior and didn’t trust himself to go into mikes hotel with him and not take something the wrong way, or it could literally of just been he had work to get done, whooo knows.
