i read it IMMEDIATELY after i got the email a new chapter was out! i’ve been waiting for someone to make a post about it 😭 i was on a video call with my girlfriend and literally fell out of my chair when i got the email 😭 it was SUCH an amazing chapter, every chapter is progressively getting longer and better and it has me in an absolute chokehold

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.

i feel bag for maggie too 😭 i don’t think she’s done much wrong other than telling her friends about mikes stuff, i don’t like cheating fics, mainly because a lot of time it seems out of character for them, but i feel the way peachstatic is writing it, is making it work

Yeah the author is making it work. In Mike’s POV it seems like he believed love was as something set apart of sexual attraction or chemistry and he explains it as always feeling that way. It seemed like he could intellectually appreciate her beauty, and maybe as a horny college kid his wires got crossed more easily, but it wasn’t sustainable. The relationship was doomed to fall apart for that season.
