the order that they’re in within the series is the chronological order according to the timeline! this works well if you are just supplementing context to the main fic. if you haven’t started the main fic yet and want the context as you are reading, this is the order i’d recommend:

follow the sparks (i’ll drive) <- introduces you to the vibes going in super well!!

acswy, ch01-04

leave me stranded (it’s so romantic) <- brief mentions of the events of this fic are mentioned in chapters 01 and 04. it comes up again in 07 and i think it’s better to know the context of that going in!

acswy, ch05-07

out of focus, eye to eye <- mike vaguely references the events of this fic when they’re at the vending machine and he’s like oh, we’re still not talking about it? (no mike. you aren’t. bc will doesn’t remember)

acswy, ch08

you know that i caught it <- essentially ch08 coda

acswy, ch09-10 (9-12 on ao3)
