I IGNORED THE UNIVERSE AND I AM GLAD. This was so effing great. It made me sad at times and smiley at others, and there was a part where I wanted to pet my laptop and go "awwwww, I love you!" There was so much wonderful worldbuilding going on! Not just the world inside of Mark's head, but Boston vs. California and Ivy League intelligence/snobbery. and shitty frat parties with pregaming (I think this is the first TSN fic I've read that specifically mentions pregaming, and wasn't that a shocking realization. Then again, a significant chunk of this fandom is still in high school, I think). The small things were just as good as the big things, like Dustin stepping in the puddle, and Eduardo's wool coat, and the taste of Harpoon IPA and twizzlers, and the porcelain fixtures in the bathroom. And all of the computer words! That I did not understand! It was like when I first saw at Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase and thought, "I'm not quite sure what is happening here, but if I tilt my head to the left and squint, it's super cool. I LIKE IT."

And gah, they were so mean to each other and I loved it. It was terribly exciting! I kept wanting to see which of them would break first. I loved (jeez, how many times can I say "love") Mark's awareness of Eduardo's potential dickishness and the way Eduardo was sometimes passive aggressive, and Eduardo's mini gay crisis, and how they are so in love with each other but are too busy being future captains of industry to get out of their own way. They make me so sad (;_;). Why so silly, boys? whyyyyyyyy.

tl;dr MORE, PLEASE.
