DWWhy this must be read: It's a grad school AU in which Frank and Mikeyway have been BFFs and roommates long enough to have a chore roster and tons of pets. Life is simple for Frank. Well, that is until someone's comment on his dating status inspires Frank to get some outside perspective on his relationship with Mikeyway.
This is a funny, utterly domestic and mellow story. Frank's obliviousness to what Mikeyway means to him is a neat contrast to Gerard's failboat-y attempts in wooing art store clerk!Lindsey. Ray, Brian and Bob's opinions on Frank's denial about Mikeyway being his
boyfriend add some nice backstory tidbits. The author did a wonderful job of keeping everyone in character.
It also has some very cozy asides (including a description of Mikeyway nuzzling on Frank's beard. Mmmm!). Despite its length, the worldbuilding is solid enough for any reader to enjoy.
