    Bookmarker's Notes

    Okay girl ik know you always forget what you read since you have the brains of a fucking goldfish, but this fic is to sweet so here you go:

    "No, you're "eating the cereal out of the box while watching bridgerton" chilling. That always means you're stressed,"
    THATS YOUR FAV MINHO QUOTE, bcs he's thus sarcastic funny annoyed guy in the story and we LOVE him
    So quick revision Newt punched ratman in the face Harriet (manager) mad says lay low, but we love Harriet
    Newt obviously doesn't like laying low so he convinces Minho to go out, visits a bakery (they've got fucking strawberry Tiramisu like common) and falls in love with Baker (Thomas obv) but doesn't tell him he's a celeb (yeah Newt is famous btw like Zendaya famous)

    Teresa chuckled, "I know. I was talking about Thomas's dating skills."
    We love Teresa and Aris, they help Thomas out and tease him

    Just a quick reminder of the glossing in the face and kiss infront of the car scene

    A lot of social media/ paparazzi stuff (Brenda us a sneaky interview bitch but we love her)

    AND THOMAS PROPOSES😍

    Fin

    It's 2 am don't come at me for grandma or spelling mistakes (omg my humor at its peak)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    For the first time during this performance, Mike looked up, meeting Will’s eye. He thought he was going to have a heart attack right then and there because Mike was looking at him singing one of his favorite songs. His heart was racing and it was suddenly feeling really warm for January in New York City.

    And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us, to die by your side…

    Mike looked away briefly, glancing down at his guitar, and then looked back, eyes gleaming from the stage lights. Will swallowed, that urge to draw him and bottle that moment not leaving him. This was Mike. His friend. So…why did it feel like his heart was going to jump out of his throat? All those funny feelings in his chest, all those memories of hand brushes and exchanged smiles made Will squirm.

    Mike was looking at him, his voice so quiet in the microphone that Will almost thought it wasn’t on, and all he could think was that this crush had gotten so out of hand. When did he let his heart off the leash? When did he think it was okay to indulge in these stupidly giddy feelings? Why did he agree to be Mike’s friend when it was now so clear Will couldn’t see him as just a friend?

    There is a light and it never goes out.

    No, this wasn't just a silly crush at all.

    There is a light and it never goes out.

    That ache he felt, that desire, that longing…

    There is a light and it never goes out.

    He’d had it all along. Mike had always made him feel like that. He tried to play it off like some childish feelings, like his first crush in the fifth grade.

    There is a light and it never goes out.

    But this wasn’t the fifth grade.

    There is a light and it never goes out.

    Will was starting to think he’d fallen in love with a lot more than just rock ‘n’ roll that night in October…

    -

    This fic shaped me and my taste in music. Like, you'll find all of these songs in my playlist and I started listening to the Smiths and Mazzy Star religiously every night to fall asleep. And it somehow got me obsessed with step by step and honestly it kinda became my favorite song, even though it's not what I usually listen to.

    One thing, that I immediately adored, was, that if there was songtext included, you had a lot of time to read between the lyrics and that made me enjoy the fic so much more. Usually I feel absolutely stressed, because the authors give no time to read and understand what's written between the lyrics, (or maybe I'm just a very slow reader idk) but this time it was just perfect!

    This fic really got me in a chokehold. I'm a sucker for angst and this is just the perfect mix between angst, fluff and funny scenes. I'm also in love with band fics and the idea of Mike dedicating songs to Will and the cure is my favorite band, ergo this met all my needs for a perfect byler fic.

    Summary

    “Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”

    Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"

    "What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.

    In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
    On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.

    “See you around,” Will bids, and Mike nods. Then, right as he steps away, he adds, “Nice shirt, by the way.”

    Mike looks down at his shirt.

    Cool Guy Alert, in bold, green letters, is plastered against the white fabric of the front of his shirt, a gift courtesy of one of his distant family members during a shared Christmas

    -

    “Well, yeah,” Spiderman responds, shrugging, nonchalant, “it’s not every day I save someone from imminent death.” Mike stares at him, and there’s a pause. “I mean. It’s not every day I save someone as cool as you.”

    Mike furrows his eyebrows, hoping his flush isn’t too obvious under the orange shading of the streetlights, and swivels to look at him. The superhero motions to his own chest, and Mike looks down, before letting out a loud groan.

    -

    I couldn't stop reading, because this fic isn't just the funniest, but also the loveliest fic I've ever read. I was laughing and giggling through out the whole fic and the characters are portrayed perfectly.
    It's so beautiful to follow Mike discovering how much Will and him have in common and his growing interest in Will and finally piecing together that Will and Spiderman are the same person (he isn't as obvious as he usally is in other fics, which I love)

    The tension between them is just how I imagined it to be- they're a little awkward, but not uncomfortable and so stupidly in love omg, I could read this over and over again.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Will probably should have been watching the wall instead of Mike. By the time he snapped out of it and turned, nudging shoulders with him, Mike was already finishing the second half of the letter M. Then he was done.

    W + M

    “Screw them, right?” He said, nudging back.

    Will’s heart caught right in his throat. The gesture felt private and public at the same time, like someone had taken a microphone to Mike’s chest and let his heartbeat ring throughout the entire community.

    It was wild, thinking about the times he had written it himself, buried somewhere in the leather sketchbook or under his fist on the corner of a quizsheet. The instant regret— the way it was always erased before anyone else could steal a glimpse. Drawn over with an astronaut or a wizard for good measure. And here Mike was, displaying it big and bright and proud in paint, not really something you could erase.

    It only felt appropriate to reach forward with his can and draw two hooked lines around it, completing it with a heart. Then he was crouching to set it back down before returning to Mike, like he was in a hurry for something. He was smiling, ear to ear, so hard it hurt, but he couldn’t stop.

    Then he was pinching the bottom of Mike’s mask and folding it up over his nose, revealing his smile. And before Mike could say anything or make any sort of sound or movement, because now he anticipated what was coming, Will pulled him in and trapped him in a kiss.

    --

    I never read a story, where Will and Mike started of as "enemies", but searching it up was the best decision ever. Like, everything about this fic is just magical.
    There's a lot of angst- I especially like the idea of Will being rebellious to cope with his emotions (Mike doesn't approve ofc). I feel like, this fanfic had the most beautiful moments, I could really picture the scenes, and the ones, in which Mike and Will became closer are stuck in my head. The way the author phrases their sentences is fascinating, particularly the metaphors, they surprised me everytime, because it gave every dialogue, monologue, every sentence actually, a deeper meaning.
    So I also gotta mention Murray, because HELLO??? Adding him to the whole thing was SO FUNNY and just absolutely GENIUS. He kinda carried the whole triangle lmaooo
    And ofc the ending!! BITTERSWEET (probably the perfect word to describe this fic)
