please don’t ever become a stranger | 18.3k words
Mike isn’t sure how much time passes—how long they stay there, foreheads pressed against each other, holding onto one another’s hands like they’re scared to let go. But finally, Mike finds the courage in him to open his eyes and whisper, “I wish we had more time together.”
Because isn’t that what they’ve been missing all along? Time. They’ve never had more than a few months together before being rebooted, and even now, the longest the two of them have gotten to interact, the universe is separating them again. It’s as if every single fucking time the two of them get close and begin to fall in love, they have to start over again.
Now, knowing the full extent of their shared history, Mike just wants more time with Will. That’s all he wants.
Or:
The Good Place season 3 finale, but make it Byler.

the tgp brain rot is so real right now, you guys. if you’ve had to interact with me at all this week, i apologize for dragging you back into your tgp brain rots with me.
also, let the record show that i gave suni @astrobei like three different tgp fic options, and she went with the most devastating idea i had. so she is an accomplice to the crime that is this fic.
anyways, enjoy this late birthday fic for my dear suni, whom i love very very very much <3
oh and here’s the playlist full of sad songs that remind me of this fic.
(also a big thank you to @messrsbyler for helping me with this moodboard!!!!!)

Why does knowing I have DID because ✨DID Problems✨ make said problems both less and more Terrifying.
Like I know what it is and how to cope. I'm getting really good at it in fact.
But also these are like. Problem problems. I dunno if we can counsel ourselves outta this one gang..
Blogging time! Cuz like yeah it's objectively weird but just another Sunday for us lmao
Like tell me why, when we headed back to work shortly after hanging out with a friend, "we" briefly couldn't even remember who we hung out with. Except now that I know what's going on, I realize when I'm not fronting. This other alter fronted by surprise, probably because we were deciding where to work tonight.
Like cool I know why I was so out of it but still Doing Things but the WHY there makes things. So incredibly complicated for me. And bro felt baaaaad like shit he didn't remember jack. Because duh the Guy Who Was Not There fronted only after the other human is Gone. Some alters just can't help but mask and it's not good for us so they don't front with others around, you know the basics lol
And why do we feel like a bad friend even though we remember them perfectly clearly now. We remember them, but we had to consciously communicate it... To someone else in our own head... Like a thought-game of telephone? And like u know what it's like to think u can feel your brain working, and mine's like "compartmentalize or else." Whoops! Having fun? Many people wanna share front? Gonna slice up the memories! Oh you're conscious of this process? Amnesia. Get shadow realmed bitch you're not about to come into contact with something you shouldn't be reminded of. DAMN being wired for Living is so cool actually but also mom pick me up I'm scared (picks myself up). We always remember after a moment or two, which is why we never used to suspect amnesia to begin with. I will never understand why latching onto guilt for every little thing seems to be hardwired into our being.
It's up and down really, and makes socializing tough even though we love interacting with our friends so much. And Idk we always have really good communication when we're happy (and high ngl) but sometimes if we're alone we connect a lot of dots and don't know what to do with them. Silly funny interesting things and not something legit keeping me too dissociated to drive lmaoooo good thing we're freelance
BUT because we stopped, we saw a raccoon skitter across the ground. I love raccoons, they're cute. We were just thinking about them earlier. Makes up for the Horrors I think.
Tryna make some more money before bed but my phone is crying "no signal" despite working on certain apps. Guess I'm being forced to chill for a second. We're doing just fine and hopefully have a whole new job soon. We saw a magazine at the store that had part of the title obscured and all that remained visible was "your mind works." I think I'll take that as a good sign because uh it sure does! We deal we deal.
Being myself is the best advice I ever actually followed but damn this is difficult.
So yeah internal communication is a fuck. But less so than it used to be.

What? Me posting about Fanny's 1971 live performance on Beat-Club AGAIN? It's more likely than you think!
Anyway, watching and listening to this band jam is such a fucking joy that I'm here practically crying over how grateful I am to witness it (51 years after the fact, not to mention!), but I would just like to continue this apparently one-sided conversation with myself about their music to mention...god damn, what they managed musically with just four members is such a fucking astonishment and WE ALL should be crying with gratitude over how they did ALL OF THAT (all five of the unprecedented full-length albums they put out as a rock band of all women; their live shows and performances, WHICH THEY DID A WHOLE LOT MORE OF than we still publicly/collectively have record of; and in general, the sexism, the racism, and the homophobia and plain not-being-taken-seriously that they endured in order to DO ALL OF THIS), but furthermore, I was just thinking about the fact that they did these live performances in particular (okay, ALL of their live performances, though) with just one rhythm/lead guitarist who played both parts, a bit like the way Nickey Barclay totally fucking fluidly moved from the piano to the keyboard/organ and back except that the piano performs much of the rhythm in lieu of a constant rhythm guitar presence (I think? I don't know enough about actually playing music to say for sure, but my familiar ear tells me that's what's going on), so on the studio versions of these songs they're able to have both rhythm and lead guitar assuming one is played live with the whole band and one is overdubbed (and both played by June Millington, of course) but that's impossible during live performances AND SO...WOW THAT'S AN INCREDIBLY LONG SENTENCE, I AM SO SORRY...AND SO, ALL THAT TO SAY, WHAT IF THEY HAD ANOTHER (WOMAN) RHYTHM OR LEAD GUITARIST WHO PLAYED WITH THEM LIVE? Not that the band totally needed to make their sound any more full than it was as just the four of them, but it could've assisted in rounding out their sound, anyway! ALSO, oh my GOD this is NOT meant to be criticism over June Millington's rhythm or lead guitar playing which IS FUCKING PERFECTION and she could play whatever the hell she wants/wanted and I would still be like 🥺😭🥺💗! I don't think I need to re-defend that she's one of my favorite guitarists of all-time. What I meant by my thought was that the band could've gotten even more sound, even more presence out of...well, literally having another presence on stage/live with them. If they'd had someone to play rhythm guitar or lead guitar and June play whatever they didn't (okay, realistically, seniority considered: it would be the opposite, actually, LOL...and tbh I've always thought that June preferred playing rhythm guitar? I think Alice de Buhr confirmed that at least once on the Get Behind Fanny podcast), I just wonder if they could've literally AND figuratively added more to their sound than what was ALREADY there; to make it even better, so to speak, even though what they did with just four members is truly something to think and speak and scream about still, 50 years on. :')
Buuuuuuuuut maybe that thought isn't even necessary since The Beatles were [mostly, presumably, but you can call me stupid for presuming that since generally speaking The Beatles couldn't hear shit when they played live - for understandable reasons - lol] able to keep their sound fairly rounded out live even when, for example, John Lennon played keyboard or the mouth organ and wasn't available to play rhythm guitar (disregarding Let it Be because they did introduce a fifth member, Billy Preston, to play keyboards, so John and George were free to trade off parts/roles without entirely missing or taking away from their sound which would've sounded as complete in the studio even without Billy Preston. NOT, once again, THAT I AM ESPECIALLY SAYING THAT FANNY'S MUSIC WAS MISSING SOMETHING OR THAT ANYTHING WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR SOUND. IT WAS NOT, EVER, NEITHER LIVE NOR IN THE STUDIO). But maybe I should still mention/consider the fact that once The Beatles added Billy Preston to their Let it Be sessions, they DID have a more complete sound, both live and in the studio, but of course what I was talking about in regards to Fanny was LIVE and not in the studio, anyway but also I fucking love Billy Preston's playing and I really DO think that he added something unique and special to The Beatles' sound that the band did NOT have even when it was Paul or John or even George playing the keyboard or piano in the studio. SORRY BUT MY FAVORITE INSTRUMENT IS THE PIANO AND KEYBOARD SO MY EARS KNOW A GOOD FUCKING PIANIST AND KEYBOARDIST/ORGANIST WHEN THEY HEAR ONE. And yes that's @ Billy Preston but of course that's also @ Nickey Barclay too, but I feel like that's implied, LOL.

them forgetting a date night.
starring. gojo, sukuna, toji x fem! reader
heads up. cursing, no fluff, sukuna can use a phone (bcs u taught him lol /j), sukuna calling u "woman"
note. haiii, how are you guys doing? make sure to take care of yourself!! i'm feeling a bit angsty today, so i'm gonna write a bit of angst. i miss gojo, like so much u guys :( i might make a part two for this btw hehe
──────〃★ 𝐆𝐎𝐉𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐔
the one thing you hated more than people being late was people who don't keep their promises — your boyfriend wasn't an exception to it. gojo's a busy man, you get it. for months you haven't been able to see him because he was so caught up in the jujutsu world; he saves people dan and night from lingering curses that it broke you a bit.
the jujutsu world treats him like a weapon; and you never liked it. despite your constant battering on him, trying to get him to quit and just settled in for a quiet life, he tells you that he can't. that people needed him, and you felt selfish.
but isn't it fine to be selfish sometimes?
clutching onto your phone, you'd tried dialing gojo's number at least six times before he answers. his voice groggy and slow, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, "huh . . . hello?"
you wanted to yell at him, especially because he was the one who has been reminding you about this particular date night — and he was the one to forget about it, "good sleep?" you ended up asking him, voice hard.
"y/n . . . why did you—"
"why did i call? oh, i don't know. maybe because my boyfriend stood me up for an hour and a half. i look like an idiot sitting here, satoru," you mutter out in embarrassment, avoiding the lingering gazes from both waiters and waitresses around you.
for the past hour, you've lost count of how many times you'd ask them to refill your glass of tea — embarrassing. then telling them you were waiting for someone when they tried to ask you if you were going to order anything since there were people waiting for a table, just for the said person not showing up.
"what time is— oh, fuck. baby, i'm so sorry, i fell asleep when i was work—"
before he could finish his words, you finished it for him, "working. i get it, you're always working. clearly, you don't have time for anything else, right?" you ask him, signaling the waiter nearby for the bill.
"baby, i know. i'm so sorry, i'm on my way, okay? please," he whispers. you could hear a few shuffling on the background; along with a few curses he muttered under his breath as he stumble over his feet, mind hazy from all the sudden movements he was doing despite just waking up.
"no need. i'm leaving the place," you mutter, walking out of the restaurant — heels clacking on the pavement, "and 'm leaving you, because clearly you're not ready for a relationship, so bye."
gojo yells out, "what? no, baby. i swear — i'll make it up to you, please. don't leave me . . ." he rambled on the same words over and over again, "where are you? i'm picking you up. please, can we talk about this? i'm sorry, i know i should've—"
"bye, satoru," and with that you ended the call.
──────〃★ 𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐔𝐍𝐀 𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍
you fiddled the hem of your dress as you sat inside the almost closed restaurant, the last speck of hope you had on your boyfriend —sukuna— dissipating into hopelessness. standing up you walked over to the cashier, taking out your card to pay for the one glass of shrimp cocktail and one glass of white wine.
the cashier shot you a sympathetic look, and you didn't dare to look her into her eyes. face hard from embarrassment and shame, "thank you for coming, come again next time, ma'am . . ." she bids you goodbye as she returns your card.
walking out of the restaurant that now had the 'closed' sign flipped made your stomach churn in mixed feelings: anger, embarrassment, shame, sadness, everything all at once.
sinking your nails onto the palm of your hand, you muttered out strings of curses. you knew being in a relationship with someone who had no understanding to the concept of love was a hard thing — but honestly, you thought you got a hang of it. all this time you had been nothing but patient with sukuna, but maybe even that wasn't enough for him.
three hours. you sat alone inside the restaurant you booked for the both of you for three hours — each hour depleting your hope even more. and sukuna just managed to fuck it up even after he said he'd try. well, you should've underlined the keyword there: he said he'd try not that he'd come.
maybe you saw it coming yet it still disappointed you anyways.
your phone rang. even before you see who it was — you knew it's none other than sukuna. your heart screamed at you to answer his phone call, but your mind told you to leave it ringing because you were in no mood to talk to him. yet, at the end — you still pressed the answer button.
"what?"
"where are you?" his rough voice echoed through the line as you walked down the nearly empty street, holding onto your purse, "place's closed."
scoffing, you answered, "'f course it's closed, it's almost ten. i've been waiting for three hours, ryo. three hours."
you could hear him inhale sharply, "i was caught up with something, woman. where are you now?" he questioned. hearing a few car honking behind on the background, "where are you? answer me."
"doesn't matter, i left. and i'm leaving you, i was wrong thinking maybe i could've changed you — turns out, i couldn't. good luck to you," you mutter out sternly.
sukuna raised a brow, "y're kidding."
you weren't, and all he could hear next was the loud dial tune of the other line hanging up — now did he realize that this was all serious and you were actually leaving him for good.
──────〃★ 𝐓𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐅𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐎
you sighed, dialing toji for the first time of the night when he said that he was going to pick you up for a date, the phone rung for a while before going into voicemail. grumbling under your breath, you tried dialing him again for the second time, which ended up the same way.
all these time spent on makeup and picking out the best outfit — all for nothing as your boyfriend, toji failed to show up on time. angry, you tried calling him again for the third time, only for it to end up in voicemail yet again. this time you decided to leave a message for him.
"hey, you forgot. didn't you? hope you're happy with yourself, cause 'm not."
dating toji wasn't the easiest — but you love him, no matter what he was like. and it was stupid of you to do so, all this time you've defended his name against your friends' malice towards him, saying how he wasn't treating you well enough and that you deserved so much better.
despite all that, you love him. disregarding their words, retorting back to how toji treats you well, which he does — except for the times he tended to forget about everything, even you. maybe it was time to open your eyes and actually break up; because you did deserve better than this.
it would be a shame to let all this makeup go to waste, and so you hailed a cab and decided to go out for a treat. and made the best out of everything, that is until toji decided it would be the most convenient time to call you back amidst your little "me time".
wiping your hand on the napkin, you answered him, "huh, you're alive," you muttered out, huffing.
he sighs, "i forgot, sorry." you couldn't see him, but toji actually looked remorseful, already on his way out of his apartment to yours, "i'm on my way."
you chuckled, "doesn't matter. i left my house," you informed, taking a bite out of the crab meat, "so don't bother coming — and i don't think i don't deserve this kind of treatment from anyone, even you, toji. i'm breaking up with you because clearly you don't take this relationship as seriously as i am."
toji furrowed his brows, "i forgot, i fucked up, i can make it up. where are you right now?" he asks, his voice still as calm as cucumber. but the look on his face contradicted the tone of his voice.
"bye, toji. good luck."
