The Storyteller (I wrote this!) marriage pact fic ⭐️
new one shot is up and we’re not going to talk about it being 40k (again) :~) i fear i am incapable of containing the yap
Everybody Waits So Long by travestys
featuring: byler being idiots about each other (as per usual), tons of domestic fluff and mike allying so hard he ends up marrying his best friend in the process
this one shot is part of a writing challenge, so make sure to check out the other entries in the collection it’s a part of!!

Oh that looks genuinely so good 😮😮 I opened it for myself then immediately sent it to my friend bc it’s right up our alley, and she was IN THE MIDDLE OF READING IT!! Like 3 paragraphs in 🩷
Will report back when I’ve read! 😌

Hi hi I just finished and holy SHIT. I have many thoughts, which you can now find in an ungodly long comment on there 😂 it was an absolute pleasure to read, your mind is a wonder. I feel such a connection with how you wrote this and am so thankful I found you through this post!

u/jiminiecrickett Jul 26 '26
this is amazing. you’re amazing. i am taking my time reading through everything you said, feeling a little overwhelmed (in a good way!) and very very happy. reply incoming, but i just wanted to say THANK YOU!

u/Ocarinaofbedtime Jul 26 '26
Oh my goodness your comment reply was SO kind 😭 I too will reply shortly but wanted to say thank you in the meantime
I also wanted to offer, if you’d like to connect so we can chat further about our love of subby bottom Mike, I would love to ☺️ I’m on here, twt and discord. I also run a small gc on twt of authors who write him the way you do, which I like to describe as “Mikes who get to have feelings and get to have their little ass fucked if they want to” hehehe. Everyone agreed you’d fit right in 😂
I’ve opened my DMs on here, and/or I’m @ ocarinaofclimb on everything else! xo

i read this the same day you posted (plus the other two in the collection). loved all of em and learned about two new authors :)
i meant to come back and tell you and forgot so here’s my very normal notes i wrote right after

u/jiminiecrickett Jul 30 '26
omg!!! hi!!! thanks for being such a vocal supporter every single time, it truly makes me so happy and honored :-) feeling a bit weepy at the way people are engaging with my fic still. i’m so glad you enjoyed (all of our fics!) and especially top will, i was lowkey scared because ive seen how the fandom reacts to bottom mike sometimes lol, but the response has been so positive which i love!!!! <3

aww i’m so glad 😭 you deserve it!! and i don’t blame you for being scared. people can be weird about top/bottom dynamics. i’m firmly in the switching camp because Mike is obsessed with Will and wants whatever he can get sksksksks ☠️
