Day Seven: Accidental Family Acquisition-Ray/Rose/Bobby|Trevor <-AO3 link

When Bobby changed his name to Trevor and walked out the door to stardom, neither Ray nor Rose thought they would ever see him again. The thought stung, as if the years they had spent together, the love they had shared was so disposable.

“We were fine before him, we’ll have to be fine without,” Ray said, resolute. “It won’t be the same, but we’re fine, just us two.”

“Well, maybe more than two,” Rose said, patting her stomach. “In a few years.”

“We did always say we wanted a big family,” Ray replied.

The thought however, was little comfort as they watched Trevor soar from afar. Rose cried after one of the songs he had written first aired on the radio. She remembered sitting in the kitchen when he wrote it, nervous to perform it, but she had loved what he had come up with. Now it was like a knife to the heart to hear it all polished and produced under a false name coming from the airwaves.

Ray banned all Trevor Wilson music from the house after that, if only to spare them both some heartbreak. But he still flinched when the man who used to hold both their hearts showed up on the entertainment news, or on talk shows they enjoyed. And maybe it was morbid curiosity that drove him to watch, but Ray did, and wept when Trevor played himself as some cool, aloof guy with no attachments, rather than the shy teen Rose had brought home one night after he suffered a great loss.

Eventually the hurt faded, though it never truly disappeared. But they learned to live their lives with that phantom limb, and were quite happy. Yet neither brought up finding another third, knowing it would not fill the void-there could only ever be one Bobby.

Then Rose announced she was pregnant, and life became wonderful. Even if Ray wished there was another large hand next to his on Rose’s swollen stomach from time to time. Rose wished that she could turn to the side and see another beaming face as she suggested baby names or nursery colours. The two of them would share a sad, meaningful look, then clasp their hands together, a reminder that they were okay, just them.

Julie was a delightful baby; always happily babbling away, rarely cried, and was the picture of beauty, even at less than a year old. She was trying to take her first steps but had yet to accomplish the feat. That was what Rose was trying to encourage her towards when the doorbell rang. “I’ll get it mi amor,” Ray said, kissing her temple. “Don’t let her take her first steps until I get back to film it!”

Rose tittered with laughter. “Oh yes, we can’t have that, can we Jules?”

Julie giggled in response, clapping her chubby hands and fell on her diapered bottom as a result, gazing up at Rose before grinning wide, her little baby teeth shining pearly white in the afternoon sun.

Ray shook his head fondly, unsure how he ever got so lucky as to have such a great girl as Julie with her equally wonderful mother smiling up at her. Yet the smile slipped off his face as he opened the door, seeing a ghost.

“Bo-Trevor,” he whispered. “Hi.”

“Can I come in?”

Ray nodded, then sucked in a breath when Trevor stepped inside, and had a baby carrier in his hand. With a pink wrapped infant inside of it. They sat in the kitchen, and Rose looked almost grim as she entered, setting Julie in her high chair with some Cheerios. “Bobby.”

“Rosita,” he responded. Glanced at Julie. “She’s your spitting image. How old is she?”

“You’d know if you had been here,” Rose replied coldly.

Ray laid a calming hand on Rose’s back. “Julie is almost a year old.” He nodded meaningfully at the sleeping baby next to him. “Who’s this?”

“This is Carrie,” Trevor replied, his whole expression softening as he took in the girl. “She’s just turned eight months old. She’s mine. I… I did some stupid things while I was away. One of which was Paige, who ended up pregnant. She didn’t tell me until she dumped Carrie on my doorstep and hightailed it back East. It’s been-quite the learning experience.”

“Why are you here Trevor?” Rose asked.

“I missed you.”

Ray gave a sarcastic laugh at that. “Well you’ve done a good job at showing it.”

“I’ve done a very bad job,” Trevo retorted. “I left because becoming a big star was my dream, but it broke my heart to leave you both behind. I just…. Didn’t know how it could work, being in the spotlight and making you both take the brunt of it. I was a stupid kid who let fame come before his heart.”

“You left years ago. Why now?” Rose asked, her guard still up. It had taken them so long to get over him leaving, she wasn’t about to let him wander back in with just a plea.

“Lola passed away,” Trevor whispered. “She was the only real family I had, and I didn’t want Carrie to grow up not knowing… knowing who my heart belonged to, even after all these years. I know you have no reason to take me back, but I thought maybe we could at least try to be friends? Let the girls know one another?”

“We could try,” Ray replied. “Julie could always use more friends.”

They both turned to Rose, knowing she was the deciding factor. She held herself for a moment, but then nodded. “But you’re on thin ice Robert. Don’t test me.”

“Yes ma’am.”

“Now let me have a look at the gorgeous girl of yours.” Trevore handed Carrie over who was just blinking awake as he did. She cooed up at Rose, who felt herself falling in love in an instant. “Hi baby. I’m your auntie Rose.”

“Ma!” Julie cried, making grasping motions with her fingers, and Ray scooped her up, bringing her over so she could see her mother and the baby.

“Look Julie, this is Carrie,” he said. “I have a feeling you two will be the best of friends.”

~

At eight, if you asked Julie who Carrie was, she’d respond right away, “That’s my sister.” She didn’t care that she and Carrie looked nothing alike, or that they didn’t share any blood, they were sisters all the same. Delighting in playing together, or discussing how gross their parents were. It was commonplace to find mami, papi, and tatay all cuddled together, sometimes kissing, and both girls would screw up their faces in disgust.

Carlos would copy them, sticking out his little tongue, but he was three and well into his copycat stage, so they didn’t pay him much mind.

However, just because they were sisters, didn’t mean they didn’t have their own friends. Julie and Flynn had met the first day of school and had been thick as thieves ever since. Flynn and Carrie bickered sometimes, but they generally got along. Carrie brought home Alex as her friend. He was a shy, anxious boy who loved to dance, the colour pink, and the drums.

Ray, Rose, and Trevor welcomed the friends that the girls brought home, loving that their house could be a source of warmth for them. Flynn’s parents worked a lot, so they were more than happy to host her. They didn’t know much about the Mercers, but Trevor whispered he didn’t think they knew about the three of them, and he wanted to keep it that way.

“Why?” Rose asked, the hurt evident in her voice.

“Because I’m fairly certain they are homophobic idiots, and I don’t want Carrie to lose a friend because her parents won’t let Alex come over anymore if they find out,” Trevor explained. “And that boy-he’s gonna need us after he comes out himself.”

Ray and Rose exchanged a look and agreed. Ray knew what homophobic parents were like, he’d lived through his, and Trevor hadn’t seen his own since he was a teen. Sure they weren’t Alex’s parents, but they wanted to be here as examples, as a refuge, so they kept their relationship mum.

A few years later, Alex brought two boys over with him; Luke and Reggie. Luke freaked out a little, given Carrie’s dad was the Trevor Wilson, his musical idol. Reggie seemed more enamoured with Ray after he complimented the Star Wars patch on his bag. But both booths in the end, only had eyes for Julie, who took them into her heart as easily as breathing.

The garage became a studio, with all the gathered teens going out there to watch movies, study, and most importantly, make music. Carrie was a bit more into pop, finding a group of girls to do more dance inspired songs with, but Alex gladly helped do back up whenever needed. Julie and the boys formed their own punk type band, and Rose delighted that her old instruments got some love.

She watched these kids, and her heart felt full. Ray twined himself behind her, and Trevor clung to her side as she watched them all sing together. Carrie and Flynn cheering from the couch, alongside Alex’s boyfriend Willie.

Sure, they were concerned about how frosty Alex’s parents were after he came out, about how Luke kept making comments regarding his mom and fights, how Reggie clammed up when asked about his folks, how Willie’s foster dad gave them all the creeps. But they tried their best, making sure all the kids knew they were there to talk, the door was always open, whatever they needed.

“Good thing we wanted a big family,” Ray quipped as he dragged his partners off to get the barbeque started.

“How did we accidentally get all these kids?” Trevor jokes. “I could have sworn we only had the three.”

“We have room for all of them,” Rose said, smiling at her boys. “Besides, the more the merrier right?”

JATP Season 2 Wishlist

that i wrote in my notes app back in:

and realized i never posted it here? tbf i'm rarely on tumblr. but because i really miss them rn i want to share my ✨ brainrot ✨ that i had back when i thought they were getting a renewal.

Carrie Wilson

she was my biggest flaw in Season 1. I wish her "redemption arc" is fleshed out more in Season 2; give her either more context & backstory to validate her reason for unnecessarily antagonizing Julie, or screentime to properly address how she's just projecting an emotion completely different into bitterness and anger into Julie's recovery

show particularly her earlier dynamic w/ Flynn and Julie? Maybe as Flynn calls her out, we'd get flashback glimpses prior to Rose's death (maybe even Double Trouble temporarily being Triple Threat 👉🏽👈🏽)

for some reason i'm picturing a scene where she's in her dance studio (she has one in their mansion, of course) practicing some of her Dirty Candy routine when she keeps messing up and not in the right mindset to keep dancing. i feel like the best (maybe easiest but whatever) way to guide the audience into her artist mind is to make her be a perfectionist. in frustration, she blows up for a minute before slumping onto the ground and reminisces her fun times with Julie & Flynn

also when you have her develop, please don't make her lose her femininity and the bubblegum pop music, it's great

Old Songs Resurfacing

it'll prove how detailed & thorough you are as a screenwriter if you pay off the songs mentioned in Season 1 in passing to be actual songs in Season 2

Unreleased: Get Lost, Long Weekend, Crooked Teeth, My Name is Luke, and if that riff from the scene in EP. 5 that spurred on the Bobby reveal isn't from one of these songs, add that too

Demo Album: Late Last Night, Lakeside Reflection, In Your Starlight

Willex

imagine your queer couple gets to have their first kiss first than your het main couple, not only will that settle Madi & Charlie's statements about being uncomfortable in doing a kissing scene and maintaining the priority of Juke's emotional over physical relationship, it would also make an powerful statement

Reggie's Character Arc

i know that he initially had an arc that involved a romance with Flynn but because of the ages of who they casted, they scrapped it and didn't have time to rewrite the scripts for him as filming neared, so they have time to adapt to how jeremy portrayed him for season 2: a lovable dork who craves familial love

since there's a possibility that lifers can now see the boys, maybe some found family trope for Reggie and Ray Molina?

he has pretty much formed a parasocial relationship with him at this point

so why not instead of a love interest, Reggie can have his character arc develop & we see his family before thru flashbacks and paralleling those in the current times because he sees Ray as a father figure

picture this: it's raining, Bobby opens the garage door to the sound of knocking, the boys find Reggie soaking wet and out of breath when he tries to say he doesn't know where else to go then the boys immediately figure out another fight in the Peters household happened. Reggie tries to talk again when Alex (because even though they're the airhead-sarcastic duo, they know they love each other) runs up to hug him and tells the other he doesn't have to say anything

cut to a freshly showered Reggie, quietly watching tv with Bobby, Luke, and Alex in the garage, eating whatever

also a solo acoustic country song, pls. just to make him happy

The Aftermath of the Deaths

for both the boys and Rose

we get parallels about how Bobby dealt with trauma and grief to Julie

like, the reason why the clothes are still in there (are to have costume changes for the boys) is because Bobby immediately moved out of the house (therefore also the garage) and left the clothes there because he couldn't bear to burn it, or visit the boys' houses to break the news to their families and return the clothes, or donate it somewhere so he just...left it. it would make for a more solid reason (for costume changes) and an emotional context as to how Bobby really tried to forget them because it was "easier."

it would also make sense why Carrie and Julie ended up friends. Rose probably was there for Bobby when they discovered what happened at the alleyway, so they stayed friends over the years and had their respective families but still kept in touch, (bonus points if absolutely nothing romantic happened between them! yay to normalizing platonic male-female relationships) and why Rose would immediately think of Bobby's three late bandmates to send for Julie when she was on her deathbed

Bobby never really "moved on" (because grief is a really complex thing). it's showed that he has a therapist and everything, and this could definitely have some aftereffects on his daughter. Carrie growing up seeing her father be this amazing rockstar but a negligent father and only showing love in ways she doesn't need (like riches and fame and connections to the music industry) because he's actually a really lonely man on the inside and no one can see that except for Bobby's spouse and Carrie. it'd explain why Carrie is spoiled, and other negative character traits that Carrie has on the surface

it's even why Bobby changed his name to Trevor: 1) Bobby is so closely associated to Sunset Curve and it's an absolute pain to be reminded of that every day, 2) it's a stage name and artists really do get that

More Worldbuilding

they already had some pretty creative concepts/ideas in the first season, so why not expand/expound on them a bit more

the instruments are attached to their souls that's why the boys at first can only touch them, like how Willie's skateboard and helmet are attached to him

which is why when they attach themselves to the world of the present, they gather up energy and focus on touching tangible things like the picture frame

this may follow the logic toward the end where they are finally able to touch Julie because she has become attached to their souls. emotionally.

More Creative Collaboration

i believe in the principle that when a story is finally released/published/told to the world, the world shares it. this is also visible in film/tv where when the scripts are finished and actors receive them, the story becomes part of theirs to work on. which means that they have some sort of autonomy over their characters' motivations, a chance to be heard of their ideas and pitches, and why some certain scenes wouldn't work, etc etc. it doesn't just become the director's story nor the screenwriters'.

the actors' ideas such as Perfect Harmony and their solos from Nothing to Lose are great because they let them in. they took risks, and it paid off incredibly well. more of that please. have them be a part of the writing process, (also the story), but never forget what made the music production great in the first place. be coherent and don't be like others that let too many hands work on one piece—it will lose its sound, its identity.

Julie Knowing

that Nick is possessed by Caleb. ohmygOD. hear me out.

the same S1 ending will play somewhere in 2x01, but it will be revealed that Julie was watching through the window the entire time and when she opens the door to receive the flowers, that last look she gives him is actually her scheming.

determined to get Nick back, imagine The Promised Neverland's level of mindgames Julie could play with Caleb because we already know our girl's smart

Free Willie Willie's Freedom

since the boys feel indebted to Willie's help, they insist on helping him too with getting rid of Caleb's stamp

maybe through his connection with Alex? or maybe Willie's family or friends who are still lifers (which is unlikely but either way). he needs to be saved !!

Song Sequences Ideas

juke counter melody duet like Rini's "Even When/The Best Part," Shane & Mitchie's "Wouldn't Change a Thing," or dodie & Jon Cozart's "a love song/a non love song"

emotional carrie ballad paired with lyrical hiphop choreo

willex song - i absolutely have no idea where this could go directionally but maybe alex on an acoustic guitar with a really soft sweet tune

reprises of S1 songs but in the complete opposite of their original style (the fandom's lonelier All Eyes on Me version, i see u)

nick guitar solo - just because Sacha actually plays, idk how it'd fit in to the plot yet but hey

Nothing to Lose (Reprise) - back in the '90s, a producer manipulates Bobby to sign a record deal to become a star but on one condition: disassociate himself with Sunset Curve, to which he first declines until he slowly gets persuaded. (sort of like Todrick Hall's So Lucky to Be You meets Lyn Lapid's Producer Man)

"So how about it, Bobby Shaw? Do we have a deal?"

"Trevor."

"I'm sorry?"

"Call me Trevor Wilson."

i'm pretty sure someone made an animatic with this idea too but i cannot for the life of me find it !!

7. Season 2 starts the same way as Season 1 does before the opening song plays

Black screen that reads a text "Hollywood 1995"

a pan down to the Orpheum's overhead sign that reads "SUNSET CURVE SOLD OUT"

cut to the interior with Rose finishing up her cleaning when a stage manager calls out: "Sunset Curve!" to which Bobby abruptly stops his pacing back and forth to look up. he and Rose look at each other. music swells until...

cut to him running onto the alleyway, "are they still not finished eating? those gluttons are dead to me i swear—" he cuts off his own words when he sees the boys getting dragged onto stretchers. but we, the audience, don't see it. just a close up of bobby as the ambulance lights reflects his face. rose comes up behind him, still clutching their t-shirt.

[i honestly have no idea if Bobby should get on stage because it just proves Luke's theory of The Orpheum's opening bands eventually becoming big & successful so it'll explain the Trevor Wilson fame even though at first he only did it for the boys, or if he shouldn't because according to the article Julie googled he ran away immediately after they were pronounced in the scene] but either way, this is how the opening starts.

then it progresses to Rose and Bobby respectively having children so they could parallel each other blah blah

8. Julie plays a simple song on the piano while the guys watch her in awe

Storytelling through Props

let's dive deep into Rose's luggage/suitcase and use the props to head for Julie's emotional attachment with them

they already did it with the wardrobe: Rose wears the black leather vest in the pilot while Julie wears the same thing in EP 6

add depth to the characters' relationships like us finding out Julie's multilayered necklace is actually a gift from Carrie or something

SOYON ANN YOU'RE A GIFT FROM GOD. Bobby's necklace is present in both young and old!him

**Rose in flashback scenes should be wearing clothes we've already seen Julie in Season 1 just for greater effect.

The Bobby Conflict

definitely needs to be brought up again by Season 2; they only discarded somewhere in the middle because more pressing matters like the boys' existence blipping away was pushed to the forefront of the story

however, The Bobby Conflict changes. it'll be cleared up that he was offered a record deal as a solo artist by a manipulative producer. and given that the poor boy is only 17 (too, maybe), he agrees. what he doesn't know is the contract's fine print: giving up Sunset Curve's royalties

that information clears it up to the audience and the band, so the conflict becomes this: Bobby's Survivor's Guilt. god wouldn't that be so good tackling that in a kids'/family show.

Gonna accumulate a new taglist cause I don’t wanna assume that everyone who was into my fics 2 years ago is back in this jatp obsession with me.

So…. Like this post if you wanna be tagged when I post new jatp fics? With the understanding that I might post like 5 in a row today.

🐝: Odd Eye

Odd Eye

After a few too many glasses of wine, Victoria may or may not have signed her brother-in-law up for Queer Eye. Which would be great! Ray deserves some pampering, pep talks, a closet renewal, and for someone to teach him to cook something else than Sad Spaghetti.

It's just a bit hard to hide the fact that he's harbouring three teen ghosts in his garage, though.

Year-End Poll #13: 1962

End description]

More information about this blog here

From my perspective, this is the year the 1960s truly begins in the Billboard charts. By which I mean we're seeing the staples of the previous decade start to fade in favor for trends that will come to mark this new one, seen with the influx of teen idols, girl groups, and the flood of dance crazes. The Twist charted again this year, two years after its last appearance in the Billboard year-end charts.

julie’s family is that family that goes all out for christmas

[fandomscraziness22]

Julie and the Phantoms fics

dreams are sweet (until they’re not)

There’s a kind of hidden desperation in each of their encounters, like this might be the last time they see each other. The chance of discovery, the reality that every day that passes means Julie’s one day older, the knowledge that this relationship can’t even exist outside of this building—it creeps into the back of their minds, bleeds over into their conversations, spills into their kisses and loving touches.

This can’t last, so we have to make the most of what we have, they tell each other. Because getting a small slice of happiness with each other is worth the inevitable pain.

or, Luke works at the HGC and starts a secret relationship with Julie, with all the danger that entails

share your dreams with me

Band practice is forgotten for a moment as Luke takes in the scene. His friends, all together for a purpose they all believe in. For a sound, for lyrics, for music they all create together. * * just some fluff about how much Luke loves his friends and his dream

one moment is all it takes

Julie smiles again, love for her mom and for this ghost with her overwhelming the grief for a moment. “And she sent me you, the best part of my life. I don’t know where I’d be without you, Luke.”

The couple grins in unison, as they do so often. Julie allows herself a moment to look away from the road to stare at her musical soulmate.

But one moment is all it takes.

time after time

Julie’s mind whirls. “An earlier point in time, you mean?” she says, disbelief evident in her voice.

Agent Taylor clarifies. “What he means is, Mr. Wilson invented a time machine, and chose not to tell the government about it until it was stolen by terrorists.”

or, the timeless au no one asked for but i wanted to write

let go of the world you know

he can feel them slipping his life from before they’re still there but just barely like one strong wind could blow them away into the dust, forever

or, Caleb takes Luke's memories, and it's not pleasant

i’m hold onto pieces of us that i just can’t let go

Reggie hasn’t stopped crying for seven days straight. Or at least, it feels like it. Alex was crying for what felt like an hour and it had been twenty five years, so Reggie's not sure on how time works for ghosts sometimes. All he knows is the bright ball of light that was Julie Molina has been snuffed out and it feels like the world has stopped and is holding its breath. .... And suddenly, a new thought occurs to him. Reggie bolts upright, hope exploding in his chest.

“What if she’s a ghost?”

can’t kill the fire i feel inside

“It's called the Pull.” The words that spell doom for Luke are some of the simplest ones he’s ever heard.

“The Pull?” he questions.

Willie nods. “It’s a weird thing that happens with some ghosts. An all-consuming need to be with someone, a deeper instinct than normal attraction or love. It doesn’t happen often, but always between two ghosts, and it’s part of their unfinished business."

alone together

through him (through them) she finds

music passion hope creativity life once more

friendship quickly blossoms into shared time, shared thoughts, shared

souls

learn to live with the unimaginable

Ray had thought he was done with it all. The tests, the scans, the anxious drives to and from the hospital, the endless waiting, the hopeless horror. But he was wrong. ~~~ Having a brother is all fun and games until

until your mom dies.

then, having a brother is a necessity.

let’s be crazy

Julie chalked up, getting ready to try her new dismount from the uneven bars when she looked over to see Luke jumping on the floor. She smiled slightly at his antics.

“What do they make this springy floor out of?” Luke asked.

“Springs,” Julie deadpanned.

or, i started watching make it or break it and made it Juke

if it’s only a game you lost me

“You’re different,” Willie concludes.

“Different, bad?”

“Bad for me.” Alex’s heart drops at that. “I didn’t want to think about you,” Willie continues. His face is earnest, and his tone isn’t harsh, just sincere. “I wanted to stay focused. And then I saw you…after you got shot. Fighting for your life.” His voice grows softer, drawing Alex’s eyes back to his face. And then it shutters closed again as Willie says, “But you’re right. I’m kevlar, you’re not.”

“You don’t have to be.”

i feel something around me now

Luke Patterson, the bastard of the barrel, limped his way into the chapel.

It was the last place someone like him should be, considering what he had done in the past to earn the nickname "Dirtyhands," but the Inferni chasing him left him with few options. He hoped Julie wouldn't run into any trouble, since the Inferni was only following him. Julie could take care of herself, but he couldn't stop the single thread of anxiety from snaking down his back at the thought of her being in danger.

i miss the days when

The door slams open and Luke shoots to his feet, an admonishment on the tip of his tongue. It dies the second he sees Rose burst through the door, a wild and panicked look in her eyes. “Luke, come with me.” She runs to him, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the exit.

“Rose, what?” Luke tries to pull away, but damn this woman is strong. “I have a show–”

“They’re hurt,” she throws over her shoulder, still yanking him out of the building. “Mi hermana found your boys, and it’s not good.”

past the curses and cries

She jolts upright, looking around for the others. Alex and Reggie are sprawled a short distance away, and Luke is only two feet to her right.

But Luke’s wheezing in pain, and there’s a huge red stain on the suit jacket he stole for his disguise. Julie’s breath leaves her in a gasp as she hurries to him.

prompt fill set in an HP au because why not!

i’ll watch

the thing about being a wordsmith is you have so many (almost too many) words to express yourself

and yet they aren't enough

the irony is cruel on his tongue.

he watches her get older without him.

running with fire, i live like a liar

The man stops moving and says in a raspy voice, “Hey sweetheart.”

Julie’s so shocked it takes a moment to even realize that he’s talking to her. She blinks at him, but he just shoots her the same smirk he gave her when she first picked him out from the crowd. He keeps his voice low and says, “You shoulda told me our honeymoon was going to be this much fun.”

Julie stares at his blue-green eyes, now perfectly clear and full of mirth. He squeezes her hand once, then lets go and moves his legs under him so he can crouch beside her. “Let’s go slow, while they’re distracted,” he breathes in her ear. A shiver runs down her spine as she nods. Even though she doesn’t know this boy, they’re in this together now.

Full of Love, Full of Light

Julie keeps talking. “Reggie, I’m so glad you’re here with me, and I love you. Thank you for being a part of my family.”

Reggie’s definitely not crying now; those aren't tears welling in his eyes, nope, not at all. He sniffles and whispers, “Thanks Julie. I love you too.”

or, 3 times Reggie feels like a part of the Molina family

i stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain (there’s nothing left to salvage, no one left to blame)

It's been a very long time since Alex has kept a secret this big from the people he loves. One that can change everything. One that's so big, so monumental, life will never be the same once he shares it.

And he can say with certainty that he hasn't missed the anxiousness that comes with keeping a secret like this. The way his mind whirls in circles, coming up with every possible scenario of what could happen when he tells them. How his stomach rolls, and his insides turn to jelly at the thought of revealing it. How the fear keeps his fingers locked, and his breath short.

How much danger there is in telling the truth. ... “We’re getting out of here. Tonight. There’s a ghost who can free our souls from Caleb.”

nothing broken (just our minds)

The quiet of the studio is broken by saxophones playing a very familiar tune. The sound comes from everywhere, and yet nowhere, all at once. Luke jolts upright, guitar almost falling off of his lap. He clutches it tightly as the sax continues, a drumbeat adding to the sound now.

This can’t be possible. Caleb’s gone; they got rid of the stamps. Luke checks the inside of his wrist, panicked that somehow the purple seal will stain his skin. But there’s nothing there.

or, Caleb sends a song to torture the boys

in a world i can’t fix (with a hammer in my fist)

“Connection. That’s why you play, why your passion is music. You long for the special connection between performer and watcher, between singer and listener.”

Luke’s not sure how Caleb knew that. Maybe he had been paying attention during all those rant sessions Luke had in his office (before the jolts came, of course).

“I…” Luke can’t find any words, so Caleb fills the space with a wave of his hand. “We need people like that in the Hollywood Ghost Club, Lucas. But to have that connection, you need audience members. And that is exactly what we are here to do today.”

don’t tell me that it wasn’t black and white

“Well, I suppose a name would make things easier, Detective,” August continued, and Julie was glad he seemed to have missed her confusion. “A word -- a signifier to your senses. Something that means a smell, a feeling, a taste…” He trailed off, eyes flicking to her lips once again. Julie’s heart gave a traitorous jump.

In the distant future, Private Investigator Julie Molina finds herself with a case that leads to an annoying yet attractive agent helping her, and maybe....the hint of something more?

i can’t change the past but i can fight to change today

“It’s a song about a girl named Emily?” Julie says, and the woman’s eyes dart between the paper and Mitch. “I’m Emily,” she whispers. Julie nods solemnly and holds out the paper. “Then I think your son may have written this song for you.” Emily takes the song as Mitch puts his hands on her shoulders, leaning to read it as she unfolds it. Julie’s fully prepared to stand here and watch them read it, but then the boy behind her begins to sing.

Julie can hear Luke sing Unsaid Emily. It's... a lot

my mind is a home i’m trapped in

Alex loves being able to use his drums as an extension of himself. Sometimes he pretends his anxieties are laid out on each piece of the set. The thoughts of being dead? Clang, the symbols go. The hidden fear that his friends will turn on him for liking boys? Thump, his foot hits the pedal of the bass drum. He whacks the high and medium toms, pretending he’s beating back the questions of why and how and who and where. Those questions are different depending on the days, but he places them all onto the drums, letting himself get lost in the rhythms he creates. The anxiety backs down, the fear recedes, and he finds the enjoyment in keeping tempo for his friends.

It’s all going great, until they reach the bridge.

hold you in my arms and i won’t let go

Everyone else is broken, so Alex can’t be. Someone needs to step up, and he volunteers himself for the task.

He knows, of course, that if he said this in so many words, everyone would be quick to take the burden from him. His anxiety aside, he knows that doing things alone isn’t the Molina style. Or Julie and the Phantoms’ style either. A small part of him knows that if Julie could see him, she would give him a soft smile and remind him that they are a family, and families don’t shoulder these heavy burdens alone.

But Alex shoves imaginary Julie to the back of his mind. He has to do this, because he doesn’t know what will happen if he doesn’t.

wide awake in the middle of your nightmare

It happens so fast.

One minute, Luke’s watching Julie as she sings her heart out on stage. Completely mesmerized by her talent and her beauty.

Looking back later, Luke thinks that’s what the problem was. He’s always been too enamoured by Julie--too amazed by her to realize she wasn’t indestructible. She wasn’t permanent. She was fragile, even; more so than he was, because he was already dead. She never seemed breakable; the wrecking ball of talent was the one doing the destruction, breaking hearts with tragic songs and blowing minds with her incredible voice. He forgot that Julie, no matter how tough she seemed, still needed to be protected.

Accidents could still happen.

everything has got a price

But maybe the little that does is enough. Maybe, maybe, but maybe not--

Luke and Julie vanish into thin air, leaving the Orpheum Theater behind them.

~~~

It’s not enough.

They reappear into the worst place in the club, the room Luke hates the most: Caleb’s office. Nothing good ever happens in this cursed area. Luke shakes off memories of Alex clutching his chest, breath coming in short gasps, and Reggie with tears in his eyes as Luke begs for another chance, just stop hurting them.

trade my joy for her protection

“Julie, we have to have this out.”

“No, Luke, we--”

He cuts her off. “Julie, yes we do. We need to talk about it.”

don’t say goodbye

Bobby has to keep him talking so he knows his friend is still there. If Luke falls unconscious again... “Where did you get the street dogs from?”

Luke whimpers as another spasm hits him, then answers, “Sam’N’Ellas. They were close by and they were cheap.”

If the situation were different, Bobby would laugh at Luke for convincing Alex and Reggie to eat from the sketchy couple selling hot dogs out of their car. The bandmates had walked by them two weeks ago when they got the call they could play their showcase at the Orpheum, and Alex had insisted they go check out the theater.

But there’s nothing funny about watching Luke writhe in pain on the ground. ... or, Bobby finds the boys after the hotdogs and has to watch what happens next

music is the only place i can go to speak to you

If Julie could put a relationship status for herself and music, it would be “it’s complicated.”

Julie’s mom and music were so intertwined in her life. Her mom was music.

But that’s the key word, isn’t it? Was.

or, Julie thinks about music and her mom

you are alive.

Julie’s fingers still as she says, “Your hair’s getting longer. We should trim it.”

Luke doesn’t think ghosts’ hair can grow, but it’s not a big deal, so he doesn’t bother asking Willie about it.

or, the boys come back to life slowly

Watch You Breathe In

The scream rips from Julie’s throat, terror coursing through her. Not Carlos, please don’t let him die. He’s only ten.

She watches as Caleb jerks his knife out of Carlos’ stomach, her brother crumpling up and falling to the ground.

Her feet are moving instantly, rushing towards the small form lying way too still for someone with so much energy.

Please let him be okay.

you were an angel in the shape of my mom

Those plants cannot die.

That wouldn't be fair to Mom, because she loved those plants almost as much as she loved music, or her family, or those little dancing Santas the stores would have at Christmastime (which Carlos also loved, because they always made him laugh, and his mom had the best laugh which made him laugh even harder).

Carlos wrestles with grief, and takes care of some plants

it is for family that he plays

But now, Reggie can tell his friends are split in the worst of ways, and he doesn’t know what he is supposed to do.

Taking Caleb’s offer was off the table when it was simply choosing between playing for him or playing with Julie. Reggie had everything he needed with his new band — with Julie (including a family of lifers that didn’t know about him yet but he enjoyed their company nonetheless).

Rejecting Caleb’s offer had been easy.

The circumstances, however, had changed.

reggie's pov of Nothing to Lose

it is for dreams that he drums

Alex’s arms kept moving as his mind whirled. Luke was fully under Caleb’s spell now, facing the crowd beside the magician. Alex tried to stop playing, but his hands didn’t belong to him anymore. They moved to Caleb’s rhythm, keeping the tempo for the rest of the band, backing Caleb’s vocals as he continued to sing. He had given up looking for Willie, and focused on trying to get out of the club. ... Alex couldn’t let himself focus on the loss of control for too long, because he didn’t have time to spiral now. Escape first, panic later.

alex's pov during Nothing to Lose

it is only for love that he sings

This isn’t how music works. This isn’t how it should work, anyway. But it’s happening, without his permission. .... Luke knows music. And this is a perversion of everything he’s ever desired.

it's basically just luke's pov of the end of Nothing to Lose i saw imène's post and spiraled

right this way

Julie, meanwhile, is once again struck by the similarities between Luke and Donny. “Flying Solo” had turned out amazing, and they had written so many songs together since then. She had opened her dream box and used some of her other lyrics and poems she had written in the year after her mom died to create new songs with Luke, changing them around, combining them, adding his ideas to her words. And Donny had done the exact same thing for Julia; taken her words and put them to music to touch people in a new way.

or, the band watches a movie for Julie's homework and get more than they bargained for.

Road Work?

Julie enjoys (somewhat) teaching the boys about modern slang. But Flynn is the master, so when she yeets a paper, the boys are confused. Vine references abound.

"why are you looking at me like that" sounds like Rayvrose!

(it's MoonRiver btw!)

"It's never going to work."

"You say that now..."

"I say it because I know mi vida," Ray replies.

"I think I can talk him into it," Rose said.

"I wish you luck with your uphill battle then."

"You mean you won't help me?" Rose asked, pouting in an exaggerated fashion.

"And not get to stand back and watch? No way."

"I bet you I can get him to agree."

"Ten bucks?"

They shook on it, and then sealed it with a kiss-the way they always did. There was always a bit of fun when they competed, even though they always came together in the end, and supported each other, no matter what.

The door opened then, the both of them turning to see Trevor walking in, tossing his keys in the bowl by the door, stopping when he felt their eyes on him. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Are we not allowed to look at our partner?" Rose asked, all innocence.

"Not like that. That look means you're up to something," he replied.

"Can't fool you," Ray snarked.

"So what is it?" he asked, crossing his arms, but he had an easy smile on his face.

"I need a favour," Rose replied.

"Oh yeah?"

"I need your help for a good cause. The hospital I volunteer at wants me to arrange something for the kids, cheer them up a little. I was wondering if you would help?" Rose asked.

"She rope you into this yet?" Trevor asked Ray.

"You know what they say; happy wife, happy life," he replied. Which wasn't really an answer, but it was reply enough.

Trevor sighed. He knew there was probably a catch-there always was with Rose. But he was always gave in, weak to her and Ray both. He owed them both his life after all, the two of them saving his life after grief and depression nearly wrecked his life. They had seen him through addiction, a whole identity change, and a burgeoning rock career.

Plus he was also going to give in to helping kids in need.

"What do I need to do?"

Rose smirked and held her hand out to Ray who rolled his eyes and placed a ten dollar bill into it-and Trevor really really regretted giving in.

Even more so when a few weeks later he found himself in a pair of reindeer antlers and a fake red nose singing carols to a bunch of bedridden kids. But he should count himself lucky-at least he didn't get stuck dressing as an elf like Ray did.

[ask-the-critters-survival-au]

Static sings from the monitor... before growing into a hiss the digs into the minds of all of the children bound to this connection- a certain bird most of all.

"̸̭̐C̴͖͚͌h̵͎̍í̷͎͓ḽ̷͕̃d̶̢̟̚͠.̵̳̓.̴̧̰͛̉.̷͍̏"̷̗̍

The monitor grows hot in a rapid flash, burning and melting and charring all it touches as anger radiates like burning summer rays- clashing into the bodies of those around it.

A false calm tone comes from the being from beyond as they shift their attention to Crafty, yet their voice still reaching all of the children.

"Crafty- Winter-rose that you are... I intend to fulfill my promise to return your arms to you should you find a suitable victim that may be not be your current company... But I am saddened that you would risk your safety by going alone. I understand Bobby wished to not allow it- but risking yourself in such a way... please do not do it again. Your safety matters most."

"But I want your promise- that you won't hurt Bobby or Hoppy once your arms return child... Bubba as well due to his current condition. We will see if Picky and Kickin are allowed that same luxury soon enough."

"Ah and Bobby- please do be quick with Crafty... she doesn't seem to be in danger but her arms are still bleeding- that has to be taken care of before anything else... apologies if you hear this next part child."

...

A pause, a breath, a second passes by...

Before this entity's anger falls solely upon the feathered child- like a pointed danger to the heart. Digging, maiming, marking- At what this boy dares to bring this connection too. Slowly the screen shifts from soft blue to red as the voice speaks aloud their distaste at this delusional dream of this ignorant child.

"You... intend to bring us to the prototype- trade us and your kin- your fellow star for a soul who has been tormented and scared- with no guarantee of success or Hoppy's survival?"

"You assume you will be allowed to act upon this desire? To risk her life for a dream that all logic points to failing?"

"You belief that we will allow that? That I will allow that?"

"My oath still stands child, to see you all free and mended- free of this tragedy and obtain reclamation of your lives- but I will not stand for this. I will not allow you to sentence Hoppy to death when other paths exists! That Dogday can be saved without her demise!"

Ooo for the autumn prompts #22 for Ray/Rose/Bobby & their kiddos would be super cute!

Because you said Bobby and not Trevor for some reason my brain insisted on Sunset Curve Never Died AU, so um... enjoy.

When Julie and Carrie came to them and said they'd decided they wanted to all go as Food for Halloween, Bobby was a little relieved. Last year had been Princesses, which had also been fine, until he realised that no, all of them had to be princesses. Yes, even Papi and Dad.

It wasn't even that he was embarrassed to be seen out in public in in a frilly dress. He'd long outgrown his need for everyone to think he was Cool. It was mostly that Carrie insisted he wear heels, which was agony on his feet, and legs, and honestly his butt and back.

Also, that Ray looked way hotter in a princess dress than him.

Food, he could do. A giant carrot costume or something would be warm, and comfortable, and he could probably get away with sneakers.

Of course he should have known the sparkle in Rose's eye when she said she'd take care of it with the girls meant nothing good. His partner loved nothing more than to poke gentle fun at her two dorks. It was just that Bobby was a much easier target than Ray.

Of course there was the whole 'Bobby hit on her as an incredibly uncool and awkward seventeen year old'. That was a given. Thankfully she hadn't been cruel in turning him down, and he'd sulked to Sam 'n Ella's just in time to hear Reggie say 'street dogs haven't killed us yet', steal a bite from a protesting Luke's hotdog, and demand they get pizza instead.

They'd only just made it through the final bows before Alex ran off stage to puke, closely followed by the rest of them. Rose had been the one to call the ambulance,

They'd signed their record deal in the freaking hospital, because a little near-death food poisoning experience wasn't going to stop Luke Patterson from getting things done.

They'd used a little of their signing bonus to send a fruit basket and some cash to the cleaning crew at the Orpheum.

Thankfully, Bobby was able to leave that all behind him. Becoming a rockstar was surprisingly good for him and the boys. Instead of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, it was mostly rock and roll, decent food, and well, okay there was some sex.

A lot of sex.

A lot of sex that resulted in Bobby's life being turned upside down at a tiny little squirming baby with big brown eyes and a killer set of lungs.

Their lives changed a little after that, nobody's more so than Bobby. Thankfully he had his boys with him, to advocate with him to the label, to take shifts with a screaming, crying infant (they may not want to play Reggie's country songs on stage, but they all had to learn them at some point, because it was the only thing that calmed Carrie down), to help him through the lows and celebrate the highs.

Still, most of the actual parenting fell on Bobby. So when Carrie made a friend at toddler yoga (shut up Luke it's good for her coordination and motor skills), and that friend's dad was hot... well, Bobby waited a few more classes until he was pretty sure the guy was single and then hit on him.

Which was of course the exact day that Ray Molina, dad of the year, had brought his wife to his weekly Daddy Daughter Date, and Bobby got turned down ever so gently again.

It hadn't been a good blow for his ego, especially not when he realised who Rose was. But thankfully, Rose took it in good humour, and so did Ray, and at least he got two new parent friends out of it.

And then a year later, more.

Still, even after four years together, Rose delighted in teasing him just a little, so when she handed him his costume and he saw what it was, all he could do was sigh and give her a 'really?' look, before pasting on a smile for the girls. "I love it," he lied, and they cheered.

So yes, on Trick of Treating afternoon, he rocked up to the curb in his Hotdog costume, Rose as a strawberry milkshake and Ray as his Side of Fries, while they carted around their little cupcake (Carrie), Strawberry (Julie) and Pumpkin (Carlos).

Of course Rose got the guys in on it, and the girls were very excited to see their Uncles Reggie and Luke as Ketchup and Mustard, as well as Uncles Alex and Willie as a jar of pickles (Oh god he remembered hearing about the pickle juice on those battery cables) and... a giant banana.

"Banana?" he asked Willie. Usually he and Alex did a couple's costume. Willie dramatically lowered himself into a split, and smirked.

"Banana split." He said, waggling his eyebrows. "I'm dessert."

He rolled his eyes, but the girls and Carlos laughed, so really, what more could he want?

And maybe that night, once the kids went to bed and all the candy was handed out and the porch light was off, he got his revenge on Rose, sexily posing in the doorway of their bedroom in Just The Costume and asking her if she wanted to 'taste his hotdog'.

This post might make you guys a little sad but it also might make you a little happy

What could have happened in JatP

Reggie legit bonding with Carlos now that he knows about the phantoms with funny communication shenanigans since Carlos probably still can't see him and Reggie getting a surrogate little brother

Alex finding out both Julie and Flynn are bi (my personal headcanon) and tearing up because they're just so chill about being queer

Bobby/Trevor losing his freaking mind because apparently his past came back to haunt him and they made a new band with Rose's daughter

Julie experimenting with the synthesizer keyboard

Willie just pining for Alex in the Hollywood Ghost Club and Alex trying to figure out how to get him out from under Caleb's thumb

More group hugs

Nick battling for control against Caleb possessing his body because Chad and Ryan raised a strong, good young man

Honestly more of Ray struggling with being a good dad to a teenager who's started to rebel just a little because she's fifteen years old and starting to get famous

Carrie struggling with how to be authentic in her music while feeling the pressure of her dad's success

For that matter, Carrie finding out her dad's a hack

Luke and Flynn finding a way to bond. I just feel like they would vibe.

Eventually (after a lot of making up and character growth) Flynn and Carrie composing electronic music together

Julie having to actually learn a bunch of stuff about hologram technology because you can only dodge the question for so long
