    Summary

    Mike’s entire body pulses with frustration. “Because I’m not Tammy Thompson!
    Will can’t breathe. “But–”
    I’m not Tammy Thompson.” Mike’s eyes blaze. “I’m goddamn Mike Wheeler, and I’ve been in love with you since you set my hair on fire in science class when we were ten.” His jaw clenches, and Will feels like someone let off a grenade next to his head. “I realised I was in love with you when you left me for Lenora, and realised you loved me when you made up that bullshit about El asking you to make me the painting.”
    Will feels the blood leave his face, feels his entire world shifting in an instant. “Mike–”
    “And then you stand there and tell everyone it’s this crush that amounts to the same as some girl who didn’t like Robin back?” Mike’s voice cracks. “I– how am I that to you?”
    -------------------
    Mike confronts Will after he comes out to the group, because he isn't goddamn Tammy Thompson.

    Summary

    Dan Howell and Phil Lester lead anything but normal lives, but they were content with the direction they’d taken and happy with their current situation. But soon, they begin to realize that things aren’t right anymore; they’re not in the world they should be.

    “That’s because you’re ruining our fucking lives, you sadist,” Dan said, scowling at the ceiling. He seemed to be ignoring the fact that his insolence would have consequences.

    “What stupid trope are you putting us in next?” Phil asked wearily.

    “It doesn’t even matter, does it?” Dan said, “They’re going to keep writing it as long as they want. They’ll find a trope.”

    “But only if people read it,” Phil said.

    “Then don’t read this stupid, overblown story!” Dan yelled at the ceiling, “You’re enabling this horrible author. You’re making us suffer.” While Dan was speaking, Phil had a realization.

    “All of this…” Phil said in horror, “All of this dialogue we’re giving. We’re helping them shill this story.”

    Summary

    Dan Howell. Twenty-four. In love with his best friend and flatmate, Phil Lester, for the past five years.

    Dan usually gets by, he does. He won't tell Phil, obviously not. But he can't even picture seeing the man with somebody else, and it seems like this time around, there is a somebody else.

    In the middle of the night, we are all suspended in a strange void. In this suspension, secrets become hard to keep.

    And that's not always a bad thing.

    Summary

    'I wish I had kissed him at midnight', he writes. A confession; letter by painstaking letter.
    “Get it together, Phil,” he mutters to himself, shaking his head. “This is a lighthearted scrapbook, not a John Green novel.”

    Or, 2015 through Phil's eyes.
