I saw someone say Between Us is not a plot based show - it’s character based. And yes, 1000%
But more than that, it’s not a plot based show it’s a character driven behind the scenes look at Win and Team from UWMA. These two stories are interconnected (obviously) in a way that makes the plot exist heavily in UWMA and (for WinTeam) the character driven story and growth occur in Between Us.
UWMA is happening in the background, but Win and Team exist outside of that story and Between Us is that existence; that secondary space.
Their love story is (in some ways) messier than Pharm and Dean because fate isn’t involved - Win and Team have no deep previous connection. They hooked up on a swim trip and the next thing they knew Team had a safe place and Win had found the first person who was reluctant to take what he’d give AND willing to give in return.
Between Us is like the best of the fanfic world. It’s taking two beloved characters and giving them life behind the camera, in the spaces we haven’t really seen before. It doesn’t need the corny troupes or the redundant plot points that always exist in dramas (though it has some) because the world these characters live in has already done that.

There is something just so funny about how drastically different WinTeams open house day ends compared to DeanPharms…
If we draw evidence from UWMA and BU we have open house day (Dean and Pharm kiss for the first time, so like it’s a big day for them) ending with Pharm meeting everyone at the dunk tanks, Win inviting everyone out for dinner, everyone going out for dinner, Dean and Pharm experiencing the biggest revelation/breakthrough in their relationship thus far due to a conversation about the red thread and, as expected, crying about it. Then to top off the evening we have the most chaste little kiss.
Then one assumes that at some point (either after dinner or previously during the day that we just didn’t see) Team and Win were invited out for drinks with the ABC’s, where there is more deep emotional conversation about proving to someone you love them… Then Win and Team end up banging in the bathroom… just… the contrast… it couldn’t BE more different 😂

Team and his Hia Win bullshit
So, we know how before Team calls Win P'Win yeah? @findthebluesky and I were talking and we realized something kind of funny.
Team might be a little stupid. Win, I think, wanted Team to only call him Hia Win in bed. Ya know, like a daddy kink sort of vibe? But uh, Team just went "Oh, you want me to call you Hia? Alright!" Not even remotely reading the room in the fact of what Win meant.
I just think that's hilarious.
This is also. a callout for me considering they literally refer to me as irlTeam...
I also thought, maybe he was doing it to be a little shit. But no. That's just me dreaming 🤣
So yeah. Team is a little dumb sometimes, but we love him anyway! <3

He has seen Win in various states of undress, really, perks of sharing the swim team’s changing room, but somehow he looks different in the soft light of his own room. His skin has a golden shimmer to it, his tattoos a stark contrast, like the silhouette of a tree against a glowing sunset. He looks ethereal and beautiful and Team suddenly has trouble breathing.

A 5+1 WinTeam fic with all the bedsharing and adroableness.

Makes Win Feel Wanted
So this is something that has bothered me since Between Us debuted. People online screaming “well, when is Team going to do something?” “The synopsis says that Team makes Win feel wanted, but we’ve never seen him do anything,” blah blah blah.
It’s Team. Team is what makes Win fell wanted. Not what Team “does” — Team existing as himself. There’s no magical moment or action, it’s Team being himself and allowing Win to care for him.
That’s it.
Win lack of feeling wanted prior to the beginning of the show is directed linked to his placement in his family. He’s not the eldest, meaning the expectations are less — sure — but he is also FIRST at nothing. Waan’s done all the good and all the bad before Win. He’s also not the youngest, he isn’t the perfect younger child who gets away from with stuff and who has limited expectations suffocating his every decision.
Win is in perpetual limbo. He’s going to help with the family business mostly because that’s what Waan is doing and so that Wiew doesn’t have to. Not because he’s wanted or needed.
Dean is Win’s best friend, no one can deny that. But Dean isn’t searching for Win — and Win is well aware that once Dean finds the person he’s endlessly waiting for Win becomes, at best, a third wheel. And at worst, forgotten.
So, no it isn’t an action that Team was supposed to do or a thing he was supposed yo say — it’s not him begging of crying — it is his existing and letting Win exist with and care for him.
So many people seem to have missed that entirely. Not everything has to be written or shown explicitly to be true.

if I had a quarter for every time I had a show I fell in love with that has great queer representation and supernatural plots where my favorite couple is supporting cast that develops mostly off-screen and the show last updated in 2019 with not much info other than promise of continuation and having increased focus on said favorite couple, just to release in the past few months that they will return in November 2022 I would only have 2 quarters which isn't much but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Dean and Wins friendship is so interesting to me, let me explain why:
As we all know, Win says that he’s never had anything that’s truly his, and I believe this sentiment can also be applied to his friendship with Dean.
Hypothetically, just for a moment, what if we imagine that Win and Dean became friends in part because Deans friendship felt comfortable, it felt safe, because he was never 100% there, never 100% in it… and to Win this is what he’s always known, being semi-detached is his comfort zone.
Win knows that Dean has always been searching for something, a small part of his mind has always been preoccupied with this notion that something is missing and he needs to find it.
On some level Win has always known that when Dean finds what he’s been looking for, it’s not exactly game over for their friendship but he understands that he will inevitably have to take a step back, as he will no longer be the primary go-to person in Deans life.
And this is pretty much exactly what happens. When Dean meets Pharm. Everything changes, he starts disappearing for short periods of time, starts passing off swim club duties onto Win and leaving early… after class and on the weekends he’s not hanging out with Win he’s checking in and making plans with Pharm first …
Pharm is, and has always been the most important thing in Deans life. Because of this, Dean was also never truly Wins to keep for himself.
Win is, quite literally, a secondary character in Deans life… and after seeing the absolute terror he grapples with when it comes to realizing he might just be the most important person in Teams life… maybe, just maybe, he’s more comfortable being secondary anyway.
