The Seasons of Heartbreak

Lestappen | 14 075 words | Angst with a Happy Ending | Rated T by @f1writingbyme and @lestappenforever

As promised, here it is!

We strongly urge you to listen to Stick Season by Noah Kahan and Stick Season (Her Version) by Deeps, as those are the two songs that inspired this entire fic.

And if you're in the mood for more ✨vibes✨, you can find our full fic playlist on Spotify here.

You can read the full fic on AO3 here.

Summary:

As the ‘I can’t do this anymore’ slipped from his lips, Charles missed his exit and continued straight ahead, unable to fully see the exit sign through his tears.

The tears fill his eyes as quickly now as they had done in his car that day, and Charles finds himself realizing that he hasn’t felt happiness since. Not even once.

---

OR: When two men are hurting from a break-up, they can only use each other to make it right again. But they have to realize that first.

OR: The seasons of heartbreak, seen through the eyes of both Max and Charles.

CA$H PIGGOTT.

I need to talk about Cash Piggott and how important his character is to the asexual community.

I absolutely adore the fact that Cash calls people out on their acephobia and never, ever apologises for who he is. He doesn't think he's broken.

In season one, we see Darren say "you know what, I think there's something really fucking wrong with you, Cash," and Cash immediately, with no hesitation, screams "well fuck you then".

In season two, we see Dusty say that he's being selfish asking Darren to give up sex and he immediately stands up and says "fuck this" because he knows he doesn't have to listen to people making him feel bad about his sexuality.

And when he's talking to his nan about it, Cash says "it's not fair, I would do anything, why does it have to be the one thing I can't change about myself?"

In every single one of these scenes, we never see Heartbreak High blame Cash for his sexuality. We never see him apologise to anyone for not feeling sexual attraction, and we never see him feel guilty about it, or try to change who he is.

CA$H recognises that his sexuality might be difficult for people to accept and understand, but he never lets other people make him feel like he's broken, or flawed. And that's so powerful to see.

Because asexual people are not broken. And we can't be fixed. And we are not being selfish for putting in boundaries.

I absolutely adore Douglas Piggott. He means the world to me, and this representation is so, so important.

fabian getting a baby sibling is a genuinely funny bit and there’s some self-admitted character bleed from lou, but also… hallariel has become a better and more “present” parent so the idea of fabian having to watch his mother be a better and more attentive parent to this new baby than she ever was to him? truly fucking devastating 

fabian has struggled his whole life with expectation and wanting his parents to see him and love him for who he is, not just the legend he could be, and now there’s gonna be some baby that gets everything fabian ever wanted from his mother? if it was me, that baby would be my fucking nemesis, too

Say whatever you want but Missy explaining Orpheus and Eurydice to Spider while he listens with genuine awe going "woag. Fr?? No shit?? Thats tragic asf waog.." is indeed peak romance and you can't do a thing to change my mind

No because I never asked for cash name origin story and I would like to go back to 2.5 seconds ago when I didn’t know that

Let’s thank the media gods for heartbreak high having one of the only legit adoptions of a love triangle plot line, where all corners are actually connected

heartbreak high season 2 felt like this the entire time

"It's not fair. I would do anything. Why does it have to be the one thing I can't change about myself?"

Heartbreak High have done it again. Ca$h Piggott is the most beautiful asexual representation. I have never related to anything more. He is trying so hard, but he's staying true to who he is.

And that is so important to see.
