#BAND AU MY BELOVED

[fonulyn]

Only when Leon trailed off and arched an eyebrow, after a solid three minutes, Piers realized he’d been such a captive audience he hadn’t said a word. He still felt a little enamored, but he tried not to let it show. He cleared his throat, hoping it’d make his voice work and not waver, and gave Leon a smile. “Have you ever considered singing on record?” He wanted to say it was beautiful, wanted to say Leon’s voice was gorgeous, but he couldn’t quite bring himself to say the words.

“No,” Leon said, ducking his head down. It was like he was hiding behind his hair, and something in Piers’ chest ached. Stubbornly he chose not to examine it further, and instead pushed the feeling aside, patiently waiting as Leon went on. “I’m not very good. Like… campfire good, sure. But record good? Nah.”

-- Or, Piers gets to know his bandmates, some more intimately than others.

link click x mcr crossover band au idea. lu guang is on bass, cheng xiaoshi on guitar, qiao ling on drums. they're working on an album (three cheers for sweet revenge) and though cxs sings, lg writes the lyrics. lg says he gets the inspiration from "weird dreams", but he's actually pulling from memories of past time loops (cause if cxs is gonna die and everything starts over anyway they might as well spend at least one lifetime together having fun)

Now that I'm home and have some time 😂 why don't you tell us what you have coming up for my favorite band AU?

I knew you would ask about this AU 👀

GOOD OLD BOOKBINDER//SONGWRITER.

Anyway, if you're caught up from the last chapter, you'll know it left off on a bit of a cliffhanger - but that's not necessarily important to what I'm about to say.

The next chapter I am planning on is a bit more Dis centric, because we haven't really touched base with her in some time, and I think that's important! We'll get to see more of her role in the band, and in Thorin's life - and just how important to him she is.

Now, I know everyone was yelling at me about THROR, so I will say this, that plotline will start weaseling its way into the story very soon, and as you can imagine, it may not be the best relationship. Though, one can only hope he's trying to make amends for disowning his grandkids. Maybe? Who knows.

I think we're all just wondering what he'll make of Bilbo 🤣 any thoughts or predictions?

Ask about my WIPs!

WRITER TRICK-OR-TREAT !!

DELETED SCENE // group interview, band au

It takes a few minutes for the room to settle back into anything resembling silence as Natalie struggles to keep the hula-hoop going. (She, so valiantly, refrains from flipping them off as they continue to giggle.) Mari can't help but eye the fishbowl of paper slips suspiciously. "Do I like, have to, or is passing an option?" The resulting jeers tell her all she needs to know; there's no getting out of this. With a sigh, she reaches forward and plucks the first white strip from the truth bowl.

WHO WAS YOUR BIGGEST HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH?

The blood rushes to her face. Oh, God. Talk about a shitty card to pull. "On second thought, I think I'm feeling a little more da-"

"Hey hey whoa whoa, you're got to answer the question, Flores!" Lottie darts forward to grab it from her hands, and Mari shifts to avoid her. Unfortunately, it's directly into Jackie, who plucks the paper from Mari's grasp.

"Who was your biggest high school crush? Oh, I know this one!" Jackie wiggles her eyebrows, lips curled into a mischievous grin as she feigns swooning and falls into Mari's lap. "Danny Mears! Oh, you were so down bad for him, MarMar. Which, just saying, you dodged a huge bullet. Heard he's like, dating his cousin or some shit."

"It's his second cousin. So it's like, technically legal." Mari manages to string together, in an attempt to soften the blow.

Tai snorts. "Wow, what a distinction. Still technically a total loser."

"Okay, he wasn't that bad—" Mari defends, but Jackie's laughter cuts her off.

"Oh God, remember his hair??"

Nat joins in from the sidelines, hula hoop clattering to the ground. "How could any of us forget??"

"Guys, give Mari a break!" Mari feels a modicum of relief as Lottie interjects, before breaking into a fanged smile. "She's never had the best taste. I mean remember—"

"He wasn't my crush." Mari blurts it out, before freezing.

"He wasn't?" Lottie echoes. She looks genuinely perplexed. The band as a whole does.

"Okay then, who was?"

"You can't say that and not elaborate."

Mari looks down, her face several shades of red. She mumbles her answer. "Jackie."

The hula hoop clatters to the ground as Nat gapes, Lottie and Tai mirroring the shell shocked expression. "You had a crush on me?" Jackie asks after a minute.

"I mean, yea, how could I not?" Mari laughs, awkward, as she rubs the back of her neck. "It was the first day of soccer try outs. You guys were helping Coach run everything and you partnered with me. You were like, like this superstar. And you told me I was really good. And after, my mom was running like really late. You could've left. I mean you must've had better things to do than sit with a stupid little freshman. But you sat down next to me and waited. I mean, you even gave me your fruit by the foot."

"They're your favorite." Jackie's expression softens, but stays unreadable.

Mari's shoulders lift into a shrug. "They weren't before that." The silence hangs for a few beats too long, feels a little too palpable, and Mari shoves the bowl at the Jackie. "Okay, I answered. Now pick up the pace. Nat's stuck losing a battle to an inanimate object until it circles back to her turn."

At the mention of Natalie's plight, Jackie's attention shifts. "Right, right. Besides, there's no use dwelling on things past."

Right. Things passed. Mari laughs, ignoring the ache in her chest as Jackie shoves her shoulder. So totally passed.

Here we are again! Another Six Sentence Sunday!! I've felt so accomplished this month, and while I have a TON to revise and edit, I'm gonna share a little bit from the upcoming chapter of Bookbinder//Songwriter!!

“What is today's struggle?”  It was a question that often went back and forth with them. Some days it was as simple as Dis being angry with Thorin, or Bilbo's frames being slightly bent. The most miniscule things, discussed in the most normal ways. It was all about being open and honest, and not letting things bottle, fester, and explode. It was a relatively new thing they were working on, but so far, so good. “This book idea, that's the struggle,” Bilbo grouched, returning his attention to his notebook and examining the various notes and brainstorming he had scribbled down. “But I'll get there, I just need to think on it a little longer.” Which was what Bilbo continuously told himself every time the ideas began to feel like flops, rather than asking for advice.

Me too, Bilbo 🤣

Happy Sunday, Fellowship! 💜

aftg au where andrew is a burnt out musician who's sick and tired of writing/playing shitty music bc his label says it sells better. he meets one deaf neil josten at some no-name pub on the east coast. he's a little mesmerized by the way neils hair catches in the bar lights and how his eyes track the woman playing bass on stage. andrew offers to buy him a drink and then he offers to blow him. it's a no but at first neil looked at him confused and andrews about to start wondering how someone who looks like that would be confused about an offer like that but then neil asks him to write his question down. he does. (there's something humbling about writing a proposition down). neil says no but they trade notes back and forth until the line of indie artists waiting their turn for the stage dwindled into nothing. the last thing andrew writes is his phone number. they talk, well, they text. neil doesn't know him, not the way magazine covers and top 40 radio hits know him. to neil, andrew minyard is just a guy that plays the drums and occasionally writes lyrics. one day, when he asks why neil loves watching him play his drums so much, why he goes to indie night at the pub when he can't hear the words they sing, neil tells him that he likes the thumping in the ground. it steadies him, calms him down as if his ear was pressed to someone's heart. he likes the way the artists lose themselves to their music in a way so obvious. its with neil peering into andrew's grand piano, his eyes watching the hammers pop, that he remembers why he started making music in the first place and for the first time in months he actually wants to compose something

Bookbinder//Songwriter because I'm nothing if not predictable ❤️

Why am I not surprised??? And I'm not disappointed at all, because I'm gonna be working on the next chapter very soon huehuehue

I have several plot points figured out for the upcoming chapters, but I want to focus on the next one specifically.

Next chapter is going to be more Bilbo-centric, I think. We've done a lot of focusing on Thorin and the band, and now we gotta get to the other guy!! He has aspirations too!!

I think it would be fun to get some insight to those aspirations, and of course, Bilbo's book club that he has now roped most of the band into (or rather, Thorin did, because he's supportive lmao can you imagine that conversation with Dwalin, Nori, and Bofur???), and ultimately shed some light on Bilbo's goals of being an author one day. He's tried, and tried, and can never find a story he likes to continue.

It's also really fun for me because in this AU, the boys are younger, and Bilbo is creeping to his 30th birthday, which is where I am at in life too, and just discovering some new aspirations, myself. It's a case of "I'VE DONE NOTHING WITH MY LIFE" for Bilbo, and feeling like there's a race against the clock, but there isn't. Something that I feel with my whole heart lol

I just need some Bilbo focus in my life...and we're going to do that next for a while - but then consider later on...

Thror.

BYE!

Ask me about my AUs!

TIME TO TEASE ANOTHER FIC UPDATE!!! This time from the much beloved “Bookbinder//Songwriter”, which I will be posting this coming weekend!!

Eyeballing Thorin’s movements as he drove, Bilbo couldn’t help but study the mannerisms. How his fingers tapped anxiously, or his grip intensified, but the most notable one was how one of Thorin’s hands would always break from the wheel, tug his sleeves up, and then promptly tug them back down. The rule of be yourself had already been broken, what with no leather jacket or holes in Thorin’s too-tight pants. In fact, Bilbo had been thrown off by the fact that his man was wearing a sweater of all things! While only partially covering his inked arms, Bilbo had to suspect that that was the reason behind the choice of clothing that Thorin kept picking and pulling at. “Your sweater looks nice.” “Don’t get used to it. I want to make a good impression, regardless of how…out of my skin I feel.” “And why do you think something like this would make a good impression?” Silence fell between them, the question awkwardly lingering in the air before Bilbo waved his hand and pointed towards Belladonna’s parked car on the side of the road, which promptly had Thorin parking behind it. It was easy to see whenever his thoughts were consuming him. His jaw was tight, almost looking as if he were biting the inside of his cheeks, and the expression never settled well with Bilbo. “Thorin?” “I don’t want your family to think you’re running around with trouble.” “Well, you are trouble,” Bilbo teased as his fingers began to crawl across one of Thorin’s longer sleeves, tugging at it a bit to reveal a bit more ink. “But you’re the kind of trouble I’m after, my dashing little hellraiser.” Those fingers moved up towards Thorin’s face, giving one of those cheeks a small playful pinch as they pulled upward in a grin. “I think you’re more trouble than I am…” Thorin chuckled lightly, his eyes dropping as Bilbo’s hand did, unable to wipe the goofy smile from his face. “Probably, I am half a Took, after all.”

Happy Tuesday, Fellowship! 💚
