#fezco centric

[lesser-bohemian]

Why do you think the Euphoria fandom's most popular characters/ship is Lexi Howard & Fezco (Fexi)? They're not one of the main ships featured on the show, like Rue and Jules. And while many fans clearly identify with Lexi, who is intelligent, dedicated, caring and passionate, I wonder why (especially amongst fellow fanfic writers) Kat Hernandez, who writes fanfiction and has a secret double life on the internet, isn't more popular in the Euphoria fandom, or featured more prominently in fanfic.

Oh, this is an interesting ask! I’ve actually thought a lot about why I’m still so enamored by these two, and I think there’s a combination of things that made so many of us fall so hard for them.

One thing is that they were a lot of people’s favorite’s characters individually. Fez is the drug dealer with a difficult past and a heart of gold. Lexi is the relatable writer with a vivid imagination who’s overlooked by her friends and family. They’re two of the most sensible, down to earth, genuinely kind characters on a pretty dark, chaotic show and that makes them easy and fun to root for.

Another thing, and probably the most important one, is that all of their interactions were absolutely flawless. Every single line of dialogue gave me butterflies, their body language made me swoon, their chemistry is simply unmatched and I think they altered our collective brain chemistry forever. The connection they found in each other felt so unexpected, but so genuine and sweet—which was a delightful breath of fresh air. They were just two shy, kind of awkward teenagers falling in love and it was a beautiful thing to watch.

There’s also the fact that they fit so many tropes people love (good girl/bad boy, opposites attract etc.) while subverting them in really satisfying ways at the same time. Sure Fez is ‘bad’ 'cause he sells drugs and beats people up, but he’s also one of the sweetest, most caring people on the show, and Lexi is ‘good’, but she is a lot more than that, so much more complex. They both have many of those famous layers to peel back, and they compliment and contrast each other in ways that I personally find endlessly fascinating to explore.

As for them not having a lot of screen time, I actually think that’s contributed to us being blessed with so many amazing and creative fics, not hindered it. Having so little to go on, means we have so much to fill in, so much to imagine, so many scenarios to explore in our writing. How did the phone calls start? What happened after the store scene? How often did they hang out? How does Lexi find out about the raid? Where do they go from there? There’s nothing like unanswered question to fuel your desire to write something that answers them, I think. Personally, I’d never been in a fandom, written or even read fic before. But after 5 minutes of Fexi I was all over tumblr, signing up for AO3 and typing furiously in three different google docs. I’m still not entirely sure why, but Fexi were a rush unlike anything and I can’t wait to have them back, I miss them! As for Kat, I really don't know. She was one of my favorite characters in s1, more so than Lexi or Fezco, but I think a lot of writers prefer to write about ships, and even though her and Ethan were sweet (I mean that scene at winter formal? Heart eyes!) I always found Ethan a little bland (sorry). Add what they did with her character in s2 and knowing she won't be back, I'm not that surprised people don't have a lot of motivation to write Kat-centric fics at the moment.

i am so sorry for what you are about to read

     It had been roughly 6 months since Fezco had been to his home. He had been in jail of course, thankfully Faye wasn't and offered to stay and keep an eye on his grandma and the house til he was out. He didn't know how he got out so soon, maybe his lawyer was just that good. He didn't know, and honestly he wished he could've stayed back there a little longer. It was mind numbing, he was able to keep his mind empty yet still occupied in order to avoid dealing with the reality of what happened 6 months prior. He stood at the gate with two officers, being escorted out to where Faye was waiting for him. She'd visited numerous times, much like Lexi and Rue. That was it, those were his only friends really. Faye gave him a half smile, and he returned a weak one. Once he made it past the fence he went over to the car, hopping in the passenger seat. The blonde handed him his iPhone before driving off.

"You excited to be out?" She asked, glancing at him briefly. He just shrugged his shoulders, staring out the window. This was Ash's spot. Faye waited a few seconds before speaking up again, "you know, I managed to keep the store open. I've managed to keep the bills all paid because of it, I even got a second side job. It's kinda nice not being involved with illegal activity to make money." Fez chuckled a little at that.

"Yeah, I uh, I decided it's time to stop that shit. My grandma prolly wouldn't be too happy, but it's time, y'know?" He said, his voice low and on the verge of shaky.

"Well, I'm proud of ya. I know she is too, no matter what." The two exchanged small smiles once again before letting the music fill the air. The closer they got to the house, the more Fez's nerves were going. He didn't know what to expect, but he didn't want to go there. He wanted to stay as far away as possible, but he knew he had to go home. They rounded the corner and pulled up to the driveway, Fez sitting up straight as the car parked.

"I have some runnin' to do, but if you want I can stay for a little while. Incase you don't wanna be alone." Faye offered upon seeing the look on his face. He shook his head once again, not wanting to hold her up.

"Nah, it's okay. T— thanks, though. For the ride n' the offer." He got out of the car with his house key in hand, walking towards the front door very slowly. He unlocked the door handle, twisting it open and taking a step inside just enough to be able to close the door behind him. He almost was expecting for Ash to come greet him before reality hit him once again. He's not here. He'll never be here again.

The ginger looked around, first noticing the patches of light grey plaster all over the walls— probably to cover up the bullet holes. His eyes were glued to the bathroom door for just a moment, tears blurring his vision when he finally looked away. He wiped his eyes quickly with his sleeve before making his way over to Ashtray's room. He pushed the door open and flicked the light on, taking in the sight of everything; it was exactly how Ash left it. Not a single thing had been moved, apart from any snacks or drinks he left behind. His feet dragged as he walked around, then sitting down on what was his little brother's bed. He looked around yet again, seeing the boy's phone and favorite hoodie on the end of the mattress. He reached for the hoodie first, bringing it to his face and breathing in its scent. It still smells like him.

Fezco sniffled, his body beginning to shake as he tried to hold back his cries. He place the hoodie carefully in his lap before grabbing the phone. It was freezing to the touch and wouldn't turn on, it had probably died months ago. He put it back down, tears streaming down his face. He pulled his own phone out of his pocket and opened it, seeing Faye had charged it. His background was of him and Ash, he stared for just a moment before going through his hundreds of notifications. He saw a couple missed calls from Lexi from the night everything happened, he figured he would call her later. He didn't want to talk right now, not to Lexi, not to Rue, hardly even to Faye. The only person he wanted to talk to was Ashtray. To tell him he loved him, that he missed him, that he was just a kid and it shouldn't have been him. He wished so deeply that this was all just some sick joke, or a nightmare from hell. But it wasn't. This was real life, his baby brother was gone.

Against his better judgement, he opened up the iMessage app and clicked on Ash's contact. He pressed the call button and held the phone to his ear, waiting for the voicemail message to play.

     "Hey, it's Ash. Leave a message, bye." The sound of the boys voice was almost like a stab to the heart as tears rolled off his cheeks. He hung up before calling again, softly crying when the message played again. Yet again, he repeated his actions about 10 more times before a harsh sob ripped from his throat. The only times he really wasn't occupied while in jail was at night when trying to fall asleep, or when he'd wake up from recurring nightmares about the night everything happened. But now, he had no distractions. He had to deal with his grief and the god awful pain of Ashtray being gone.

     Why? Fez thought, why him? Why not me? Why couldn't it have been me? He wished a hundred times over that he could turn back time and take Ashtray's place. He knew it would've killed the boy to have to go on without him, but at least he would've had the chance to live a normal life like he deserves. Ashtray didn't ask for any of this; to be raised a drug dealer and to fuck around with that business. Fez didn't either, but at least he had some normalcy before his mom died. He loved their grandma and wouldn't trade his time with her for the world, but if he knew all those years ago this was where they would end up, he would've tried to change something. He liked to think so, at least.

     Every single memory he had with Ashtray filled his mind, each and every one replaying in that moment. It hurt, it stung, it was killing him. He remembered the first time he found him in the hallway to the very last time he saw him in the exact same hallway. It came full circle; it was like a cruel parallel from the universe. After a few more times of listening to the voice message, he felt a bit of anger bubbling in his stomach. "Fuck!" He yelled, throwing his phone to the floor.

     Why didn’t he just come out of the bathroom? Why did he fuckin' do it? The man was angry. Angry at Custer, angry at Mouse, angry at himself— hell, even a little angry at Ashtray. He felt guilty for that bit of anger towards the boy, but he couldn't help it. He thought about all the different could've, should've, would've's but it no use. It didn't matter, nothing he did mattered anymore. Ash was gone. Ashtray wasn't just his little brother; he was his best friend, his partner in crime— literally— his whole life, and if Fez was being honest with himself he was basically his son. Fezco raised that kid almost entirely by himself after age 13, Ashtray was his kid. It was his job to protect him and he failed. His mind was stuck on that thought for a good while, longer than he would admit, and it devastated him more and more with each passing second.

He didn't know when he finally decided he needed to leave the room, but it was long enough that Faye had already came back home. The man stood up, grabbing the hoodie, and went up to the door and opened it. Fez took one last glance before shutting off the light and leaving the room, closing the door behind him.

     "Do you want something to eat?" Faye asked as he walked past the kitchen. He shook his head no then thanked her for the offer and went to his own room. Fez pretended to miss Faye glancing at the hoodie with sad eyes as he walked by. She knew exactly which one it was, and it broke her heart as she saw the clutch he had on it. She checked on him occasionally throughout the night, he never had much of a response. She figured he needed space and time to grieve, anyone would.

Fez wrapped the hoodie around his small French fry pillow and held it close the rest of the night. He kicked his shoes off and laid in bed, waiting to succumb to slumber and escape this nightmare that was his reality, and ignore his empty house.

so um yeah this hurt my heart to write—

B, H, V for the ask game? 🥰🥰🥰🥰

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

Yeah! The beginning of the Mailman Fezco fic (You Wear It Well), when Lexi got all those random packages as part of a scam? That really happened to me when I first moved into my current apartment. And my mailman did help me figure it out. I did not hook up with him, though. He was very nice but he was not Fezco.

H: How would you describe your style?

I like to think I provide great visual description, even if it’s just a character facial movements. Basically, I want my readers to feel the ease of watching a movie whenever they read my stuff, but with a unique omniscient perspective.

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Oh, gosh. So many fics I’d love to tag along to, either prequel or sequel. The one that stands out is starry eyes by @iwantthemtostay. She knows this, but I wanted to write fanfiction about that version of Fexi. The swimming pool? The bowels of the Key Bank Center? Burned in my brain and heart. I need a red carpet moment at the Grammy’s where Lexi does a Beyoncé pregnancy reveal.

thank you for the ask! @sunshinebunnie, 😘. (I would also write a Suze-centric prequel to Prairie Doll if I could.)

Out of Touch

I'm liking the focus of this season so far.

Also like where they are going with Kat, it's a very intersting point to be in a situation where you are supposed to be happy but you aren't and it's something that needs talking about.

I'm not happy with this Cassie-Nate-Maddie nonsense.

Cassie and Maddie both deserve better. I would like to see this end with th being each other's person and focusing on themselves

I actually love seeing Maddie with her friends, I love positive relationships for her

Rue is still a mess and Jules really deserves better too.

But i really want to see more of Lexi and Fezco

Also can we get a BB centric episode?
