From the studio that brought you “I can’t find good Byler fics in the ao3 tag”, comes:

"The Definitive Byler fic rec list"

Literally no one asked for this but because I spent the majority of last year (...and 2019, and 2018...) reading byler fics and coping with life, I thought I’d make a list of some of my absolute favorites. 

The other day I was basically starving for some byler fics and the angel @magicalfairy provided me with some of her faves so I thought I’d do the same, because I love reading, and I love all of these fics and I appreciate their writers💗 And fic writers in general, come on!

- This is a mix of long works and one-shots/short stories. - Everything is mostly fluff with a tad of angst and a lot of internalized homophobia conflict.  - Every fic is completed, except for the ones I mention that they are not. - I try my best to lay out the stories in a way that I won’t spoil you the plot but also warning you of some stuff you might don’t like. Either way, all of these fics are correctly tagged by their respective authors/owners, so read at your own risk. For better understanding, in between brackets I denote Rating, Words and quantity of Chapters. - I feel like I should clarify, none of these are narrated in the singular first person. None of that “And I told him...”, no. 

Long fics

a dream always the same (T, 99k, 35 chapters) What happened in those few weeks between the Battle of Starcourt and the Byers leaving Hawkins. Literally a satisfying and very needed fill in of season three, with a good dose of Mike’s thoughts and conflict. Mike’s characterization is specially amazing in this one. The writing style is amazing and I know the author put everything into making it historically accurate, and it was really sweet. You probably read it, it’s by the amazing sevensided here on Tumblr🧡

Spring Break (T, 120k, 14/15 chapters) The slowburn of my dreams. Lots of internalized conflict and conflict with each other. Conflict within the Party (uhh kind of), conflict with Mike and Will. Byers family has moved and the kids are visiting! Chaos. Characterization is on point. Yeah, I know it’s unfinished, but the fourteenth chapter actually serves as a pretty nice ending. 

This is where it starts (M, 148.8k, 24 chapters) Aged up characters. The Party is in college and Will disappears again, but now it’s different. Mike knows he didn’t vanish from thin air, and the discovery he and the Party end up making is pretty insane. Mystery solving/fantasy/third dimension, throw in a bit of D&D and Mike realizing some shit, and you get this marvelous fic. It’s a breath of fresh air. The world building is definitely one of the elements that stands out the most, because it’s very nicely described, it sounds like a dream and it’s completely immersive. Absolute gem of a fic. 

there’s a Starman waiting in the sky (M, 30.6k, 8 chapters) Do I need to say anything? Will is out there living his best life and Mike realizes that wow, umm, maybe his best friend looks a bit too nice with that costume... and wait, is he getting horny? It’s actually really fun and sexy.

The Evening Speaks (T, 23k, 7 chapters) In where Mike is a late-night college radio host and Will is the art student that stays up till late to catch up with Wheeler on the Mic. They flirt through songs y’all, this one is really sweet. 

heads or tails? (E, 24k, 3 chapters) Aged up characters. I know most people don’t enjoy sex in fics and with specific characters but this one is insanely well written. It’s a slowburn that commits to the tension and with every word you are grasping and anticipating their next move. I think you can find the author here on Tumblr as yousaidyes🧡

The Man of Average (M, 56.7k, 5/? chapters) Aged up characters. No but you don’t understand, the writing here is absolute gourmet. The story is exciting as well, it’s super interesting. Weirdly enough, for being very aged up characters, they are well characterized but they don’t feel like teenagers. They are naturally Mike and Will. The author really captured Mike and Will’s essence. I know, it’s unfinished and it’s updated very rarely, but this is the typical fic you can’t believe someone just posted on the internet for free. I will say though, I think it’s definitely not for everyone. Read at your own risk.

Heartstrings (E, 82.8k, 24/? chapters) Aged up characters. By the same author of The Man of Average. A collection of memories, the road to Mike and Will’s happy ever after. And fucking hell!!!!! You’ll cry and get angry, you’ll cheer for them, then you’ll want to crash their faces together because god dammit you love each other!!! But yeah, same thing here. The writing and the way the story is laid out as a nonlinear narrative is brilliant. And I also think this is one of the best Will versions I’ve read. The author might as well be the og creator of this two characters tbh. You can find the author here as mylesimeblr🧡

Sinners behind the walls (T, 1.5k, 1/1) And because I can’t stop recommending this author, a little thing of Mike tormenting himself but also being too deeply committed to Will. 

The Red Envelope series (T/E, 167K, two completed works) Something happens that Will thought was impossible and from there, pure drama and romance. Anything by this author has the potential to become your absolute favorite fic, but this series in particular is amazing. I doubt that any of you haven’t read this, but it doesn’t hurt to put it in this list. I’m pretty sure the author is serendipitous-magic on Tumblr🧡

A New Fight series (T, 91k, two completed works, one WIP) And finally the Star Wars AU that we all needed. But this isn’t your typical “Mike is Han”, “Will is Leia” and “El is Luke”, it’s way more interesting than that, and the author has appropriated the Star Wars world like no other. I’ll admit I’m not a 100% fluent in SW lore but this is amazing to me either way. This author is also on Tumblr, tea-for-one-please🧡

- Yes, most of these are (if not all), in a way, canon compliant/canonverse/canon continuation into fanon. (In a way)

One-shots and short stories

Sundae for Two, Please (G, 4.8k) Steve being the supportive friend and older brother these kids collectively need. (not Jonathan erasure, we love him). Steve is very sweet himself, and this little cute thing through his POV is gorgeous. Yes, it’s byler.

Backstage (T, 10k, 2/2) Jonathan, you forgot to mention to Will how hot your new band’s guitarist is, dude. Now he’s hyperventilating and weirdly flirting with him in the corner. Background Stonathan because why not.

102 Peach Street (G, 3.8k) Established relationship, but not only that, they are married :’’))) PURE fluff. Extreme fluffiness. Diabetes. 

sweatshirts and bottled up feelings (T, 3.2k) Or, Mike thinks that the sweatshirt Will wears looks insanely good on him. And kitchens are for lovers. 

kiss it better (T, 16.3k) Basically one of the best character studies of a few precise moments of Mike and Will’s relationship and feelings. 

will wonders ever cease (T, 11.3k) #i ship will and happiness. Omfg what a beautiful piece of fanfic. Will centric, this kid really deserves all the good in the world.

The Calm After the Storm (T, 1.6k) Tooth rotting fluff, boyfriends in love. Boyfriends being lazy, cuddling, love words, kisses. Boys loving each other’s company... Basically, Mike and Will in their element. What more can you ask for?

neither of us ready to let go (T, 4.8k) That scene from season three, but a bit of a fix it. 

Still in love (G, 1k) Domestic, married life au fluff. Y’all, I’m a sucker for established Byler, even if I can’t find many fics with it. But this is very sweet. It takes place in 2020, but I don’t think there are any mentions of the COVID-19 crisis that I remember.

I Nver Find Out ‘Til I’m Head Over Heels (G, 12.5K) Classic 5+1 fic. If you haven’t read it, where have you been? This is your moment. In where Mike keeps inviting Will to the school dances and Will thinks it’s just a joke until he realizes it’s not. 

Before You’re Gone (T, 5.9k) Will is leaving Hawkins and Mike thinks this is a great moment for a confession. This one I discovered last friday, thank you friend @magicalfairy 💗

You’re weird Wheeler (M, 4.5k) Mike unintentionally starts a tradition of going to each other to talk about their sexual encounters just after they finish. Will keeps getting more explicit with the details he shares, and he makes his best friend interested. This one is really fun y’all.

Out-Of-Town Friends (N/R, 4.6K) It’s not rated. I haven’t re- read it but I’d say it would probably fall in a T rating. So cute!! Will has new friends and sneaks off every friday and the Party doesn’t know where he is going, so Mike decides to follow him and is surprised. 

Snowed Under (G, 1.3k) By the same author of The New Fight series. Mike is spending christmas by himself in college because a snowstorm hits Chicago and Nancy can’t drive to see him, but then he has a surprise visitor. Ahhh just a lil sweet holiday fic. Super cute. 

you love me anyway series (T, 7.1k, three completed works) Literally just the cutest thing ever. Established Byler. Will loves to take pictures and he loves taking pictures of Mike. It’s adorable. 

you wanna be friends forever (i can think of something better) (T, 9k) This one is so amazing. So. Amazing. From Will’s POV, my kid deserves the world and he gets it. 

okay not to be okay (T, 4.9k) Mike is a bit sad but then everything is okay. 

can’t hold out forever (G, 18.4k) Y’all!!!!! 5+1 sweetness. Mike has been falling in love since kindergarten. And it’s long af, you’ll enjoy it. 

even if it takes forever (G, 1.3k) College short AU, they miss each other, they love each other, they promise all to each other. It is sappy y’all.

clear as day (N/R, 18.4K, 4 chapters) It’s not rated, but I’d say it falls in the T category. Strangers to friends to lovers. And also, everyone is pretty gay; we have our dynamic trio Mike, Max and El as disaster lesbians (and gay). Will works at the library and he is also gay. Lucas and Dustin and Will are the best friends we needed. It’s very sweet and the Party is kind of formed here!

I went overboard with the one-shots, so you must have realized how much I love long one-shots and I favor them over long works lmao but they are all amazing!!! If it’s on this list, I probably read it at 2 am, sobbing in my bed. So. Hope you enjoy it☺️🧡

An Unlucky Lucky Encounter.

Tw: unedited

Edit: omfg im so sorry i forgot the readmore;;;

"When I get out of here, I'll kill every last one of you bastards."

Locke eyed the shackled man in front of her with passive curiousity, her long tail flicking back and forth with soft metalic clacks as the joints rolled to facilitate movement. She squated down so she was looking up at the mans face as he glared at her with piercing red eyes.

"So tell me, what got you in this position?" Locke asked, her voice kind of tickled her throat. She wanted to cough the feeling away, but controlled herself.

The man's eyes flashed with realization. "You... You're not with the Thalmor are you-"

"Not since the last time I checked. Again, what got you in this position?" Locke didn't expect that to come out as cold as it did, but there was no turning back now.

"The thalmor invited me to high tea what do you think?" A defeated expression slowly crawled onto his face and he sighed. "I dunno, some Justicars ambushed me outside Falkreath."

"And their reasoning?" Locke reached into her pocket for a cigarette, before deciding otherwise. She'd already had a few today and she didn't want to smell any worse than she did, it was hard to wash the stench of tobacco out of clothes.

"Choking on my own blood and you want my life story-"

Was he really choking on his own blood? It seemed unlikely as he was speaking perfectly fine in her opinion.

Locke stood up, taking a step closer to him, grabbing him by the jaw with one hand, he tried to pull away but Locke did not loosen her grip. Her other hand lifted her dark glasses up off her eyes.

"What the hell- let go of me!"

"Hmmm you're exaggerating a bit, but I can understand where you're coming from, there's probably some internal bleeding." Locke let go. "Very well, I'll undo your shackles."

She put her glasses back down, and wiped her hand off on her coat before finally moving to undo his shackless. She reached up and slammed the side of her fist against the lock, the force caused the shackles to open with a metalic click. Perfect.

What she didn't expect was for the hulking beast of a man to fall forward and knock her down. Locke gasped, her eyes widening. FUCK. 

There was a crash as her prosthetic spine got... rearranged. The tail was certainly fine as it was stabbing into the back of her neck and her arm. Fuck her back hurt.

She clenched her jaw, as she pushed the man off of her and to the side. It was easy because he was already getting off of her, albeit clumsily, which was only made worse by getting shoved to the side.

Locke could hear him apologizing, but she didn't give a damn. She was far too busy getting up. It hurt like a bitch. Almost as badly as when she was getting the prosthetic inserted.

She put face in her arm as she leaned into the wall, letting her spine click itself back into into place. The man watched silently with wide eyes as the indent of her spine resetting itself shown itself under her coat.

"If this incident ever repeats itself, there will be-" She groaned in pain.  "fuck it, I'll figure it out if it happens." 

"Do you need a hand-"

"You'd just fuck it up more-" she yelped when the last piece of her spine shot back into her place.

Calm even footsteps could be heard from the side hallway, coming closer and closer... Shit! They probably heard her.

"Stay here, I'll be right back." Locke stumbled her first few steps, but quickly steadied herself. She needed a smoke break after this shit.

When she turned the corner she met face to face... more accuratedly face to chest with yet another Thalmor justicar.

Luckily for her she reacted much faster than he could, pulling a dagger from her sleave and stabbing him in the chest before the mer knew what was happening. She looked around for anyone else before kicking him to the ground and retrieving her dagger with a single tug before the body burst into flames.

She turned back and walked back into the cell from before. "Now that is handled I have some questions, and this time I may not ask nicely."

"Yes ma'am." Came a quick answer.

"What did the Thalmor want with you?" As she spoke, she walked to the side.

She shoved everything off a nearby box with a loud clatter, grabbing the two healing potions that sat next to the torture tools. She looked a them both for a moment before tossing the man in front of her the bigger one and pocketing the smaller one.

He caught it with one hand and drank it before answering her question. "Look. I don't know. They just kept asking me about the blades and the sword I had."

"Thank you, was that so difficult?" Locke pulled a small sack out of her pocket and grabbed her dagger back out of her sleave. Wiping off the blood of on her pant leg. "So did you hear any interesting intel?"

"Not that I can remember-"

"Shame." Locke pulled a cigarette out of the sack and lit it with the dagger putting it in her mouth while she put everything away.

"One of the Thalmor got his hands on my sword, I know I got no right to ask, but I can use your help in getting it back."

"Asking a woman who can barely stand to help you get your sword back, thats bold."

"That wasn't my intention-"

"Very well, I don't have anything better to do." She exhaled a cloud of smoke before grabbing onto the wall to help herself up.

The man seemed surprised. "Thank you, it's probably deeper into the prison."

"Grand. Whats your name?" Locke asked, realizing that she hadn't gotten his name.

"...Kaidan, My name is Kaidan, and you are?" Kaidan responded.

"These days I've been going by Locke, but I honestly couldn't care less what you call me." She walked through the hole in the wall and too the hall, where she had to step over the still burning body of the justicar she had killed.

"Good to meet you... Locke." He answered.  "Sorry again about falling on you."

"Don't mention it." They walked up the steps cautiously only to find the room was empty.

"Guess you didn't need my help. I'll be leaving then I'm pretty sure you can handle yourself." Locke turned to walk out of the room.

"Wait."

Locke turned back around. "Yes?"

"Listen, I owe you my life-"

"You wouldn't be the first."

"Please stop interupting me." Kaidan asked, visibly annoyed.

"Very well, continue." Locke answered, now more concerned with the cigarette in her trembling hands.

"... and I'm not a man who's comfortable being in debt, if you ever have need of me, I'd be glad to fight along side you until that debt is repayed."

"I guess I could use someone to help me carry my things until I get my spine properly repaired. No use damaging it more, meet me outside when you're done here, I'll lead you to my current camp from there." Locke spoke, not even looking at Kaidan as she walked out of the room, leaving him alone.

gruvia drabble

author's note: yall. the LATEST CHAPTER!!!!! OMFG!!!!!! it was soooo fuckin cute dude i wont ever be over it. ok so this is inspired by natsu picturing juvia topless and gray saying "don't imagine it!" or whatever basically we gon have some ~jealous gray~ hehehehehe ok enjoyyyyyyyy<3

*

The guild was finally repaired from the Alvarez war, looking good as new, so Fairy Tail decided to celebrate in natural Fairy Tail fashion, with a party.

Everyone was as rambunctious as ever, drinking, laughing, and making a mess of the place. Basically, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Gray smiled as he saw his guildmates celebrating, just as everything was before the war. It all felt like home once again, and he couldn't be more thankful.

"Take another shot, Juvia!" Gray turned and saw Juvia and a few other girls standing around some shot glasses and a bottle of tequila. Erza was cheering her on.

"I dunno', Erza." Lucy interjected. "Juvia's had a lot already."

"Not enough, I say. Drink!" Erza poured the drink into Juvia's little glass, and the water mage picked it up.

She examined it for a moment, took a breath, and down the hatch the drink went. Juvia grimaced at first and quickly took a sip if her soda as a chaser.

"Atta' girl!" Erza laughed, clearly very drunk herself and followed suit with another shot of her own.

Gray couldn't help but feel a pang of worry. He knew all of the girls were a mess when they drank, and Juvia was no exception. He watched from afar as the girls took some more shots, and after the third, Gray felt himself moving to the table they were stood at. Juvia picked up the glass again, laughing and spilling some of its contents on the way to her mouth, but Gray swiftly took it out of her hand before she could get it in her mouth.

"Eh? Gray-sama?" Juvia hiccuped.

"I think you've all had enough." He shot a look at Erza who seemed to be the one encouraging it the most.

"Oh, you men are such a buzzkill." Erza pouted.

"Yeah, yeah, well I'll be taking this now." Gray reached for the bottle and took it from the table.

"Gray-sama is no fun." Juvia whined.

"You guys drank most of the fun as it is." Gray wiggled the bottle that was only about a fifth full. "So I think you'll be fine." Gray rolled his eyes and walked away with the bottle, handing it back to Mirajane who was behind the bar.

"Confiscating the alcohol already? It's only 10:30." Mira chuckled.

"I guess so." Gray sighed.

"Any reason you're playing the bad guy?" She leaned onto the bar.

"I'm not playing the bad guy. I'm just making sure they don't drown themselves in booze." He looked back at the girls who seemed to forget the tequila ever left, and were dancing and singing their drunk hearts out.

"Hmm and you're just so worried about everyone?" Mira pried.

"Whaddya' mean? Of course I'm worried about all of them." He scoffed.

"Didn't seem that way when you were taking the shot glass specifically out of Juvia's hand." She playfully raised a brow.

Gray rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He turned back to the crowd and took a swig of his beer.

Mira hummed a chuckle. "It's alright to be a little protective, Gray. You guys are a new couple and all. It's only natural."

Gray grunted with a slight rose on his cheeks, and his response was finishing off his beer. Mira took the hint, and realized her job was done, moving onto another spot of the bar.

Eventually, Natsu and Gajeel came up to him and the three started goofing around, so he naturally forgot about having to worry about Juvia.

"Gray-samaaa!" Juvia yelled, her syllables slurring together a bit. Gray's ears perked up. He turned around from the bar and saw Juvia standing on a table across the guild, and she was waving her hat in the air like a flag. He slapped the palm of his hand onto his face, letting out groan.

"What the fuck..." Gray grumbled into his hand, and it was followed by Natsu and Gajeel laughing.

"Gray-sama! Why won't you look at Juvia?!" Her voice squeaked a bit, like she was ready to cry. He tried his best not to watch and save himself the embarrassment. Gray still said nothing but instead shot daggers at Erza and Lucy who were right by her side on the ground, as if he was telling them to get her down, but they were having too good of a time to care.

"Juvia, get down! You're gonna' hurt yourself!" Gray shouted back, finally giving in.

A mischievous smirk curled Juvia's lips. "You're gonna' have to come make me!" She giggled.

Gray's face lit up with red, and he spun back around in his barstool, burying his face in his hand once again. "Can you guys just let me know when it's over." He muttered to Gajeel and Natsu.

"U-uhh--" Gajeel suddenly stammered, still having his eyes on Juvia.

"What?" Gray looked to his side at Gajeel.

"I'm not sure if she's taking no for an answer..." Natsu said, his wide eyes matching Gajeel.

"What are you talking ab-" As Gray spun around once again, he saw Juvia's jacket fall to the ground. The only thing remaining on her torso was her bra.

"If Gray-sama won't pay attention to Juvia, Juvia will just strip until she gets someone's attention!" She said through drunken sobs.

"No fucking way..." Gray said under his breath, his eyes were even wider than the two beside him.

"Still nothing?! Fine!" Juvia yelled, straight to Gray. At this point, almost all the men in the guild were paying close attention. She unbuckled her skirt, and let it drop to the ground. She wobbly stepped out of it, and proudly stood in her matching bra and underwear duo.

All the men were ogling, shouting at her, whistling at her. Gray felt his blood quickly rising, and his fists were clenched by his side.

He noticed Natsu and Gajeel still had their eyes on the scene, clearly in shock. "Cover your eyes, idiots!" Gray punched them both in the heads before finally walking his way towards Juvia.

"Don't stop there, Juvia!" Wakaba was standing next to Macao, right by the table.

"Yeah, come on!" Macao agreed, and the two were practically drooling.

"See that, Gray-sama!" Juvia hiccuped. "Everyone would love to see Juvia's body!" She reached behind her back, seemingly going for her bra clasp, and Gray picked up the pace.

He wasn't quick enough, and Juvia's bra fell to the floor along with the rest of her clothes.

"Woooo!" Macao, Wakaba, and most of the men in the guild all cheered, and their eyes nearly fell out of their heads.

"Both of you old perverts need to get out of my way, and look away before I beat your eyes swollen shut." Gray threatened, plowing in between them.

"Are you finally watching me, Gray-sama?" Juvia giggled.

Gray didn't respond. Instead, he grabbed onto Juvia's wrist, and pulled her swiftly off the table, and he carefully caught her, wrapping his arms around as much surface area as he could so no one could see.

"Aw, she was just having some fun, Gray!" Erza drunkenly laughed. Gray glared at her and focused back on Juvia.

Without thinking, he quickly removed his jacket and wrapped it around Juvia. He grabbed her clothes off the table, and escorted her out as quickly as he could. A lot of the men boo'd him for taking Juvia away, to which Gray froze them all in an ice box without a second thought.

Soon, they finally reached the infirmary of the guild.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Gray finally said, sitting Juvia onto one of the beds.

"Juvia just wanted to get Gray-sama's attention!" Her eyes were watering again.

"So you got butt naked?!" He shouted back.

Juvia pouted. "It worked didn't it?"

"Fuck, Juvia." Gray sighed and went over to a sink, filling a small cup with water. He brought is back to Juvia. "Drink this." She sheepishly took the cup and did as he said.

"You gotta' stop with the whole stripping thing." He finally said.

"But why?! Gray-sama does it too!" The drunk tears were building up once again.

"Ok, and no one cares when I do it! When you do it, it's a whole damn show! No one can keep their fuckin' eyes of ya'!" He angrily thought back to all the men staring at her.

"Juvia is sorry!" She cried out.

Gray didn't feel like dealing with anymore tears. "Listen," he took a step forward. "It's different when it's during a fight, but doing it at the guild, drunk, in front of so many people just causes a lot of problems."

"Like what?" Juvia was still holding on tight to Gray's jacket that she was wrapped in.

"Like- like-" Gray crossed his arms and looked away. "I-I just don't like it when everyone's staring at you." Juvia's face completely lit up.

"I-it's just that--" Gray was blushing fiercely. "That's for me to look at and no one else, alright?" He blurted.

"Oh, Gray-sama!" Juvia shot up from the bed, wrapping her arms around Gray and letting her jacket fall to the floor.

"Gah!" Gray gulped when he felt Juvia's naked chest pressed up against him. "Ok, ok, can you get dressed please!?"

Juvia hummed a giggle and released Gray. She did as he said and began to put her clothes back on. Gray turned around, facing the wall.

"Juvia thought Gray-sama said it was ok if you looked at my body?" She innocently asked. Gray felt his blush intensify when he heard the cuteness in Juvia's voice.

"W-well, I can! It's just too embarrassing right now, and you're really drunk, and I-" Gray's voice almost shook, which was completely unlike him. Juvia stopped him with a kiss on his cheek from behind.

"Gray-sama's such a gentlman." She said, sweetly.

"Whatever, are you dressed yet?" He mumbled.

Juvia walked in front of him, finally clothed once again. "Yup." She nodded.

"Ok, good." Gray followd her out the door.

"No more stripping shows tonight, alright?" Gray said, sternly.

"Yes. Juvia will only strip for battles and for Gray-sama." She surely said.

"W-well that's not-!" Gray paused for a moment when Juvia looked up at him with her big, beautiful, doting eyes. Gray felt his breath catch itself in his throat.

"Yeah." He finally said. "Fine."

The two made their way back to the celebration where both of their clothes remained on their bodies, and no one dared to bring up the situation to Gray.

And he made sure Juvia stayed close to his side, 100% clothed.

"Let the eagle fly. Freedom in the night. Let the eagle fly. Legends never die!" ~ New Years Day

.•*•.•*•.•*•.

*Katrina's POV*

People gave us weird looks as we passed them heading to our class. Yeah, we're weird. Get over it.

I stopped us in front of the classroom, M5. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and lead the group in.

"Good afternoon Miss Stampson," Mrs. Pendell said.

"Hi Mrs. Pendell. How are you?" I replied. She was a pretty woman in her mid twenties with long brown hair and green eyes. She was always kind. She knew how to employ discipline in students without being mean. I had her for three years as a math teacher and she was one of my favorites.

"I'm fine, thank you." She turned her attention to the boys. "Ah, you must be the gentlemen from the band. What are your names?"

Jinxx stepped forward first. "You can call me Jinxx," he said as he reached out his hand so she could shake it. She gave him a curious look and accepted the gesture.

"Jinxx? Don't you have a last name?"

"It's just Jinxx," he stated with a smile.

Andy stepped in. "My name's Andy, Andy Biersack."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Biersack."

The introductions continued and when Ash finally stepped up, Mrs. Pendell eyed him suspiciously. "You're not going to be a trouble maker, are you Mr. Purdy?" She asked pointedly.

Ashley chuckled. "No ma'm."

She continued to look at him, but directed the boys to their seats, which were directly in front of mine in the back of the class room. I pulled out my phone as the bell rang and began to scroll through Twitter. I smiled as I saw a picture that CC snapped with the guys in front of the school this morning. He blurred out the name of the school, but it was apparent to me that it was our school. In the picture, Jinxx was pulling one of his mysterious poses, Jake was pretending to strangle CC, and Andy looked like he was about to bite Ashley's head off.  Literally.

I decided to post something about what is going on. So while the guys were paying attention to Mrs. Pendell, I discretely snapped a picture of the guys and posted it.

@notyouraverageKat: Regretting your decision yet boys? xD @AndyBlack @ccbvb @JinxxBVB @AshleyPurdy @JakePittsBVB

I saw Andy pull out his phone and not long after, my phone vibrated.

@AndyBlack: @notyouraverageKat I forgot why I hated math in high school.

I quickly replied back.

@notyouraverageKat: @AndyBlack Haha. Thinking about backing out yet?

@AndyBlack: @notyouraverageKat I don't give up that easy.

@notyouraverageKat: @AndyBlack Just wait till English. Mr. Fredricks will have you runnin with your tail between your legs.

@AndyBlack: @notyouraverageKat but I don't need English. I speak British.

@notyouraverageKat: @AndyBlack You and your Secret British Accent Society.

@AndyBlack: @notyouraverageKat Yep. SBAS.

@notyouraverageKat: @AndyBlack More like BS.

@AndyBlack: @notyouraverageKat not even

@AshleyPurdy: @AndyBlack @notyouraverageKat What's this I hear about a tail between the legs?

@JinxxBVB: @AndyBlack @notyouraverageKat @AshleyPurdy I am deeply intrigued.

@JakePittsBVB: @JinxxBVB wtf dude?

@notyouraverageKat: @AshleyPurdy @JakePittsBVB @JinxxBVB I was talking about our English teacher, Mr. Fredricks

@AshleyPurdy: @notyouraverageKat why do we need to take English?! I've been speaking English for 28 years. I don't need English!

@ccbvb: @AshleyPurdy You're 30 dude. What did you speak the other 2 years?

@AshleyPurdy: @ccbvb Gibberish

@notyouraverageKat: @AshleyPurdy @ccbvb omfg

@JinxxBVB: @notyouraverageKat @AshleyPurdy @ccbvb @JakePittsBVB @AndyBlack But at least in English you can use big words like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

@notyouraverageKat: @JinxxBVB I thought Andy was the one who uses big words.

@AndyBlack: @notyouraverageKat He stole my job.

@notyouraverageKat: @AndyBlack @JinxxBVB @AshleyPurdy @ccBVB @JakePittsBVB haha well you guys might wanna put your phones away or you're gonna get detention.

@ccbvb: @notyouraverageKat psh. Nah.

@notyouraverageKat: @ccbvb suit yourself

I put my phone down and right on cue, Mrs. Pendell called CC out.

"Mr. Coma. Would you like to spend after school in detention?"

CC looked up from his phone like a deer in headlights and I suppressed a laugh.

"No ma'm."

"Then put your phone away and pay attention."

I pulled out my phone and typed up something on Twitter.

@notyouraverageKat: @ccbvb BUSTED

CC silently pulled out his phone and typed something.

@ccbvb: @notyouraverageKat oh shut up

-------------------

The rest of the school day passed seamlessly. The guys seemed bored out of their minds for most of it, but still kept up. They seemed to have the most fun in P.E., although it's quite understandable why. We were playing dodgeball and it was boys against girls.

When the game started, it was pretty even. Of course, the guys were on the opposite team. Most of the people of the boys' team avoided them, which resulted in them getting hit by my team. I greatly enjoyed hitting a few guys in the face, but the best part was when it became a rivalry between the guys and I. I managed to hit Andy in the back and got him out. The rest of the guys turned toward me and started throwing the balls. They missed. Ash threw his ball a little too high and I caught it, which sent him out, too. Then CC, Jinxx and Jake all threw at the same time and I couldn't dodge them. So I was out too.

I pulled out of the parking lot and smiled as I went through the day in my head. It truly had been a good day.

I pulled into the parking area of my apartment complex, underneath the overhang. I got out and grabbed my bag.

George was working the front desk as I walked into the lobby. "Hey Katrina. How was school?" George was 20 with blonde hair and pale skin. His hazel eyes stood out from his complexion and contrasted with his black snakebites. His dad owned the complex, so even though he wasn't that sociable, he still got a job.

"It was actually pretty good," I told him as I leaned on the front desk.

"That's a first in what, a month?'

"It's only been about a week!" I exclaimed.

"Whatever," he laughed.  "So what's got you all happy?"

"I finally got my Senior Project going!" I smiled a cheesy grin. "You're not going to believe what band it is!"

"What band?"

"Guess."

He thought for a few seconds. "Is it at least a good band?"

"I would say most definitely."

"What genre?"

"Rock."

He thought some more, then his face lit up with realization. "It's BVB isn't it!"

"How'd you know?" I asked him.

"I saw a pic of them on Twitter this morning out in front of a high school. I didn't realize until now that it was the high school here, though. Damn, you really know how to work your connections don't you?" He gave me a smirk.

"Actually I didn't do anything but send out the request. The school did everything. I didn't even know they were coming until this morning." I stuck out my tongue.

"You're mature," he laughed.

"Haha that's what Jinxx said."

"Wait, so you actually talked to them!?" He was going fanboy with this. He too was a huge fan of BVB.

"Yeah and they're really cool. I spent most of lunch with them and they're taking all the same classes I am, so yeah."

Right then, George's dad, Mr. Baxter, walked in. He looked at George and I talking and said, "George, get back to work before I cut your pay to minimum wage."

George scrambled back to his papers and started writing.

"Well I gotta go anyway. See you later, George," I said as I waved goodbye.

"Bye Katrina," he said without looking up.

I took the elevator to the third floor, being too lazy to take the stairs. As I entered my apartment, I tossed my bag to the floor and walked into my room. The wall opposite the door had a window and under that sat my bed. My bed had a purple and teal polka-dotted bedspread and black sheets. In the left corner beside my bed was a darkened wood framed mirror, and on the other side of my bed was a light wooded desk covered in papers, makeup supplies, and a few curling irons and flat irons. On the right wall was the doorless closet.

My walls were white, but you wouldn't be able to tell that by looking at the left wall. The entire wall was covered in band related things: quotes, pictures, and posters of BVB, SWS, MCR, Linkin Park, PTV and Breaking Benjamin. There was also a Black Ops II and a Call of Duty: Ghosts poster up there as well. Any portion of the wall that didn't have anything on it was covered up by a neon pink post-it note that had song lyrics written on it.

The rest of my walls were dedicated to my friends and I. There were scattered pictures of us at football games and rallies, making stupid faces and climbing on each other's backs. There were a few pictures that we had taken of us at the Sadie's dance a few years back and at our Junior Prom. Looking at those pictures made me miss them, but I couldn't take them down. They were the first people to ever accept the real me. And regardless of whether they were close friends or not, they made my high school years worth it. They kept me happy and out of the darkness that seemed to overwhelm my life. But lately, even their occasional company was enough to help.  The darkness had been really clouding my life. The arrival of the guys had really helped today, but in a week, they'll be leaving too, and I'll be back to my solitary life.

I pushed that thought from my mind. I couldn't be focusing on the past that I couldn't change or the future that hadn't even happened yet. I had to focus on the here and now.

I pulled off my leather jacket and the rest of my clothes. I pulled on a pair of old and comfortable ripped up jeans and an ACDC shirt that I had cut and tied into a razor back. I pulled my long, dirty blonde hair into a ponytail and sat down on my bed, looking at the framed picture of my parents and I that sat on my bedside table.

In the picture, I was about three years old. I had my light blonde hair pulled up into two pigtails and I was smiling really big, like I was having the time of my life. I was sitting on my dad's shoulders, holding on to his head while he held my legs. He had a graying mustache, brown hair and blue eyes. His face was smiling, with creases by his eyes. Right beside us was my mom, long blonde hair, hazel eyes, and worry wrinkles on her forehead. She was looking at us, smiling with happiness and love. Why did I have to lose that?

I can still remember the voice of the man taking me out of daycare, telling me that my parents were gone, that I was never going to see them again. To be honest he couldn't have been more blunt. I remember the day that I was put in the orphanage. Both my parents were an only child and my grandparents were dead, so I had no where to go. And I remember curling up in my new room and crying for hours, with no one there to comfort me. I had only been three, going on four, and that picture was the only picture I had left of us. Merely days after I got put in the orphanage, our house got burned down by an arsonist. Ironic, I know.

I pushed those thoughts from my mind as well. I didn't want to think about those things, not on a day as great as this.

Seconds later, my phone dinged, pulling me back to reality. I checked it and it was Andy. I had given the guys my number in case they needed it for help on homework, but I wasn't actually expecting them to use it.

(A/N: A=Andy K=Katrina)

A: Math is killing meeeeeeeeeeeee. Like I don't ever remember doing this shit

K: Haha need help?

A: YES we have been trying to do this for like an hour and we haven't figured it out yet.

K: Well then I'm on my way

A: Bring fooooooooooood ~ Ashley

A: Sorry, Ash took my phone

K: Lol well tell him that I'll bring Taco Bell xD

A: Ugh Jake told me to tell you to bring Chinese food (don't do it)

K: Well tell Jake that ima broke ass bitch so it aint happening

A: Rofl ok

I chuckled as I put my phone in my pocket and started to head out to my car.

-------------------

I pulled into the driveway of the house that they were staying in. It was quite large. I got out and walked to the door. Before I even had the chance to knock, the door swung open to CC.

"FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!" He screamed as he snatched the bag out of my hands and ran inside. Jake came to the door and let me in.

"Apparently CC is hungry," he said to me as he led me to the living room where everyone was at.

"Apparently," I laughed as we entered.

"THANK YOU!" CC said with a mouth full of food.

I laughed, "You're welcome, CC."

Andy patted the seat beside him on the couch and said, "So we figured out how to do the problem."

"How'd you manage that?" I inquired as I sat down.

"You sound surprised," Jinxx remarked.

"Yeah, we're smart," Ashley added.

"Sometimes," Jake said.

I laughed. "No it's not that, it's just that Andy made it sound like it was terrible."

"It was. But we looked it up on YouTube," Andy said.

"So you cheated?"

"No! It's called using your resources."

"Sure it is," I laughed.

Next thing I know, CC is flying through the air and landing on me and Andy. I squealed and pushed him off of us onto the floor. Everyone was laughing as CC pouted at me.

"Meany," he said.

"Hey, you're the one who jumped on us," I laughed.

CC shrugged and got up off the floor and walked out of the room. Moments later, he returned with a movie in hand.

"What movie is that?" Jinxx asked him as he put it into the CD player.

"Oculus," he stated with a devilish grin.

"YES!" I screamed while throwing my arms in the air. "HORROR MOVIE!"

"Someone's excited," Jake stated while sitting down.

"I love horror movies," I gushed. "They scare the living crap out of me but I still love them."

"Well good, you'll fit right in," Andy laughed as he pulled out a blanket

We all settled down around the living room and watched the movie. Multiple times I curled up in a ball, covering my eyes when I thought a jumpscare was about to happen. After about the 5th time, Andy turned to look at me and chuckled.

"I thought you like horror movies."

"I do but I hate jumpscares," I replied as I curled into a ball again and braced for another one. In the dark I saw him smirk as he scooted closer to me and put his arm around me. I sighed, uncurled and accepted the gesture.

-------------------

Sometime during the movie, I dozed off. I had a dreamless sleep, which was sort of unusual considering I normally have endless nightmares and the occasional night terror. I woke to someone laughing.

I opened my eyes to a blinding light. At first, I wasn't sure where I was, but as my eyes adjusted, I made out the living room and remembered. The person laughing was Jake. He stood in front of me and was laughing, seemingly, at me.

After a moment, I realized why. I was on the couch with a blanket over me, and I had been sleeping on Andy. His arm was still around me and I had been resting on his shoulder.

I immediately got up and tried not to wake him, but he woke anyway.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"You two were sleeping together on the couch," Jake replied whilst still laughing. I fought the blush rising to my cheeks. Then I realized something.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"7:00 am. Why?"

"Shit. I need to go to my apartment to get ready for school at 8:00."

"I'll go with you," Andy offered as he got up and began to head upstairs to where I assume his room is.

Within a few minutes, Andy came back down and we headed to my car. As we drove down the road, Andy went through a few of my CDs and pulled one out. With a smirk, he put it in without me seeing. I immediately recognized the sound of Exordium ringing through the vehicle. I smiled as I mouthed the words.

The kingdom of God is inside you and all around you

Not in a mansion of wood and stone

Split a piece of wood, and God is there

Lift a stone, and you will find God

I laughed lightly as I saw Andy do the same as me.

When we pulled up, I rushed inside with Andy in tow. When we got to my apartment, he stayed in my room while I changed in the bathroom. A purple T-shirt and dark blue skinny jeans, simple, but perfect for me.  I flat ironed my hair real quick and put on a light amount of makeup. I also put on my Warped Tour rubber band bracelet and my BVB rosary necklace.

I exited the bathroom to find Andy going through the CDs on my self.

"You have quite the collection of albums over here," he commented.

I smiled. "Thanks. Whenever I have extra money, I go out and buy a CD. I prefer hard copies."

"Damn. Green Day, Falling in Reverse, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Avenged Sevenfold, Flyleaf, and there's still more!"

"Heh, yeah."

He turned to a picture on my wall of me with BVB. It was taken a few years ago at one of their shows. It was the first and only concert I had ever been to.

"You met us?"

"Yeah, years ago. Wretched and Divine Tour."

He smiled. "What other shows have you seen?"

"That's the only one I've ever been to."

"I feel lucky."

He then picked up the picture of my parents and I. He is in a really curious mood.

"Are these your parents?"

"Yeah."

"Where are they now?"

"They uh moved. They moved to Maryland.  I moved into the apartment so I could stay here." That was a boldfaced lie. They're gone. But I wouldn't tell him that. He didn't need my pity story.

"Oh."

"I don't mean to dampen your curious mood, but we need to get going if we're gonna make it to school on time."

"Oh, right. School. Fun."

"Haha you know it. Come on. Let's go."

[franeridart]

Can i ask what (& why) Mina dragon is protecting?

You mean in the pic I posted? That’s just Baku and Kiri haha they’re there more for scale than anything else, really

Anon said:What role do Denki and Sero have in your take on the fantasy AU?

Sero’s a simple normal non-magic herbs merchant and amateur healer, Kaminari’s a lightning mage and a swordsman! They both also stumbled their way into being bards of sort, more for fun than anything else really - they used to travel alone and then they travelled together, till they travelled into the dragons’ territory without even realizing. Somehow, they managed to not die and get on the prince’s good side enough to be allowed to freely roam and maybe stay if they so wished

(they so wished)

Anon said:Ahh are you okay? If everything’s bad and all, feel better soon 🌟

Ahhhh, you’re sweet ;u; thank you!!

Anon said:Hey, I just really wanted to thank you! I only found you a couple months ago but your art has really inspired me. I owe a lot to you on finding an art style that’s comfortable for me. Not to mention, everything you do with Bakugou and Kirishima is the damn cutest thing and I can only love them more~! So thank you for all your lovely work!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man that makes me super happy to hear!!!!!!!! I’m really really glad my messy art could help you like that haha and thank you so much for the compliments too aaaahhhh!!!!

Anon said:If you ever get around to some more fusions, how about some of the teachers with some students like midnight-bakugou and aizawa-momo?

ngl I have about maybe forty asks in my inbox with fusions suggestions in them, and I’m just letting them pile up cause… that au hasn’t been fun lately, but I think it might be again in the future? Maybe? So I’m leaving those there and waiting for inspiration to strike again - that said, I’m sort of intrigued about these specific combos :O why Midnight and Bakugou specifically? The more I think about this the more I can’t tell if what’d come out would be something sexy or just utterly ridiculous lmao

Anon said:Just imagine Kiri and Baku getting married, and Fatgum is the one to give Kiri away and they couldn’t decide on a best man so there’s like 5 people giving speeches and there are Manly Tears shed.

What do you mean imagine, isn’t this exactly how it’s gonna go hahaha tho I can totally see Bakugou being 100% unaware of the best man situation, at some point after maybe the third speech he’s like is this done can we go now but nope there’s more people - Kirishima has a vague idea of it but as far as he knew it should have been only Denki and Hanta and Mina? Maybe? Most of the oragization of the wedding was left in Mina and Kaminari’s hands after all. But since everyone noticed that Bakugou’s already short patience is disappearing fast and  since 1A is made of a bunch of assholes once Mina’s done Jirou’s like, okay my turn, and then it’s Deku, and then it’s Uraraka, and then Todoroki and Tokoyami and Hagakure and Tsuyu and Iida and Momo too why the hell not - Kirishima’s crying and laughing and Bakugou’s 1% touched and 99% ready to blow up, which, honestly, is exactly how a wedding between these two is supposed to end

Anon said:Hello.-wave- I know this isn’t a question but i love your art work and how you made Baku and his red haired boy friend (i forgot his name :( ) just bounce off each other so perfectly. Now I hope those two actually be a couple in the anime. :)

Ahhhhh I doubt they’ll actually become canon haha it’s a Jump shounen after all - but I’m glad you like the way I portray them!!!!! thank you so much!!

Anon said:TINY DRAGON BAKUGOU IS THE BEST AAAAAA (He’d be like the tiniest, bitchiest cat.)

HAPPY YOU LIKED HIM OMFG!!! and yes, yes that’s exactly how he is haha

Anon said:I wanna tell you how much I love you. Except… there are no words that can express just how much that is. I’ve tried writing to you off-anon before, but, I’m just too shy. (Even using anon, I’m really nervous.) Seeing your artwork always brightens my day. I enjoy reading your tags, comments, replies. I really appreciate your hard work and thank you for sharing it with us. I’m sorry for bothering you and you don’t have to reply. I hope you have a very lovely weekend!! ^^

You’re so sweet orz so damn sweet oh my god, thank you so much for every kind word ;O; I hope you’ll have the best week, anon!!!!

Anon said:Dragon Baku be lookin like a mango, I love him so much. Bless u Fran

A mango!!!!! Amazing, I was thinking about an explosion as far as colors go but a mango incredible I’m never unseeing that ever hahaha thank you, by the way!!! I’m glad you liked himmm!!!!!

Anon said:OOF SO ARE THEY BOTH DRAGON SHIFTERS??????

YES THEY ARE!!!!!

Anon said:How do you think Bakugou and Kirishima would react to finding out their kid was getting bullied in school? What would they say to them?

What a heavy question holy shit, I’m actually not sure? I’m not even sure a kid raised by Bakugou and Kirishima would ever let themselves be bullied, really, so the real question here is why is this kid being bullied? Based on what the answer to that is, they’d probably react in different ways. And what they’d tell the kid would change as well, of course. Well, either way they’d probably go raise hell inside the school, both of them

(then again we’re talking about Bakugou (a former bully himself) and Kirishima (a kid that used to physically fight bullies) and their kid, so maybe the actual conversation - in case the kid were ever to actually admit to it, cause Bakugou and Kirishima’s kid might not even ever do that - would probs go something like,kid: “what if there were someone at school I was having problems with?”baku: “kill them” kiri: “Katsuki! you don’t kill them, you talk to them, and if they try to touch you you punch them as hard as you can right on the chin just like we taught you”)

(When the next day they’re called in because their kid has made a classmate bleed Bakugou fist-bumps them and Kirishima put on his hero face and voice and tells the principal that next time if they don’t want their kid to defend themselves they should make it so that they didn’t need to in the first place)

Anon said:I started reading black clover because of that one sketch you did, and i had such a tough time stopping so I can get school work done 😅 in one day I’ve read 122 chapters and I didn’t want to stop

AHHHHH I’M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT!!!!!! It’s such a nice manga oh boy ;O;

Anon said:Imagine Bakugou seeing Kirishima being attacked or hurt by a villain. I imagine he would immediately explode and charge in to kill said villain? I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but I also think of that scene in RWBY Volume 3 with Blake and Yang.

I haven’t watched it, sorry ;-; but yeah! Bakugou protecting Kirishima is something I’m waiting for the actual manga to deliver, so I try not to think too much about it to keep it fresh in case Horikoshi’ll ever be that nice to me haha but anyway we sort of saw how he reacted to Kiri being in mild “danger” during the license exam, so I guess for him to actually lose his mind and explode/get angry Kiri should be in serious danger. Like, post-Rappa fight type of danger, probably.  Ahhhhhhhh boy, I seriously hope Hori will be kind enough to make something like that happen (………not that I want Kiri hurt, tho ;–;)

Anon said:Fran, Fran!!! New dgm chapter on the 16th October!!!!!!!!!!

I KNOW! And I won’t be here for it, can you believe ;~; I’m sad o

Anon said:what are your thoughts on trans kiri??

More or less the same as my thoughts on trans baku! I don’t share the headcanon myself, but there’s a lot of good art and works out there with that headcanon which I enjoyed a lot, and if that’s how you wanna see the character then go for it! Who’s even got the right to stop you hahaha

Anon said:Ooh, u read erasermic fics?? Got any faves??

Seems like I only got two in my bookmarks :O x x (and the second is an hp au haha) (I’m sure I read and loved more tho, I’ll have to come back on this when I have the time)

Anon said:Another thing about Invisible girl and Aizawa using his quirk on her. They used a tail as an example of erasing quirks and the tail was still there but it was like a dead limb. So if he used it on her she may actually be visible. I was thinking about this for awhile and I think it might work that way.

That might be! But then again, that still depends on why she’s invisible - if that’s just the way her skin is made then I don’t think Aizawa’s quirk would change anything? I dunno tho, it’s hard to headcanon about Tooru since we know so little about her!

Anon said:sorry I asked about eri-chan and I agree I really want her to be able to but what about her completely destroying her entire ability?? like not giving people their quirks back but make it so she can’t erase them anymore?? if you get me??

OH YEAH SORRY I TOTALLY MISREAD YOUR ASK OH MY GOD I’m not sure she can do that tho? Like, assuming destroying quirks is her quirk to begin with, I’d assume her body would be built in such a way that she’d be immune to it? It’s just the way I see it, tho :O

LETS TRY IT” and then they just go eat weird shit 2.) toby, foR REAL. they go up to like, canada or smth and toby is like “LETS HAVE TIM HORTONS, BEAVER TAILS, POUTINE, ETFUCKINC” and theyre like “kay lol”

Which OC points out every strange sign they pass by on the road and reads them aloud to the amusement or annoyance of everyone else?

1.) kikka and keiko. elena is usually not paying attention to signs and finn is Looking At The Road so theyll just scream out random signs im dead. they probably fucking ask shit like “CAN WE GO SEE CRISS ANGEL” and finn is like “Ya lol” but elena is like ??? 2.) toby and nikolai. they’ll collaborate to fucking see who can say the weirder ones first. dimitri also plays along because he sees the signs fucking first most of the time.

Which OC has to stop to relieve themself every hour or so?

1.) kikka. he’s Always going. finn then gets fuckin concerned and forces him to stop drinking so much water im cryin. 2.) dimitri. cecil and nikolai get annoyed but fucking toby is like “Y E S more stopping in shitty roadside gas stations”

Imagine your OCs getting pulled into a side quest when one OC claims that they saw a cryptid

1.) i ... honestly this is something i can see. finn would see a fucking cryptid on the las vegas strip or something and force everyone to go run around looking for it. keiko would be like “DAD PLEASE” and kikka and elena would team up to say that it went into a place like fucking mandalay bay ( just so they can see the weird aquariums in there im crying ) 2.) i feel like they’d go on a roadtrip in general just to find cryptids im dying. like they all meet up in los angeles and go around the united states / southern canada to find cryptids.

What happens when the vehicle runs out of fuel in the middle of nowhere?

1.) THEYRE ALL YELLING. they call someone and the person is like “uh ... what did yall do... stop Yelling” fghfgh. theyd probably also just sit around complaining. 2.) they probably start laughing im. theyd be like “dudes.... we’re fuckin stuck in the middle of the woods HAHAHA” ( tho dimitri is like “hehe .... Help us god” and he calls the fuckin tow trucks or w/ev )

Which OC starts taking increasingly daring nature/action photos of themselves and their friends?

1.) finn. he’d like .. do a handstand on a fuckin cliff and force them to take pics 2.) all oF THEM. theyd just do weird risky shots #FORTHEVINE ( #ripvine )

Which OC starts out stressed about the amount of work they’re leaving at home, and slowly lets themself have fun?

1.) i doubt theyd be going on roadtrips with a lot of work. elena probably only goes on roadtrips during school breaks and finn usually has to request time off Ages in advance. so therefore, they don’t really have a lot of work to worry about. 2.) im actually not too sure abt this one ... considering the only time they could go on roadtrips is during breaks, they don’t have much work to do.

Imagine your OCs stopping by the side of a quiet road to go stargazing. Bonus points if they all end up falling asleep together, warm, happy, and surrounded by their friends

1.) LOVE IT ???? but theyd probably fuckin fall asleep in like 8 seconds 2.) theyd start making more nmvs but im cryin theyd all be like “I LOVE HANGING OUT WITH THESE FUCKS” fghg
