Hello hi. Will LaughingStock and/or PopStar appear in the Lights Out au?

Also also: ⭐️

allow me to provide Over Explanation for this supposedly simple yes/no answer. technically, yes! however

the au is structured into four main chunks - Acts, if you will. we've got Act One, which is the story i've shared bits and pieces of with you all. it's the main body of the au, the "in the dark" part. the Only romantic relationship progression / development (beyond little blink-and-you'll-miss-it hints) is FranklyDear.

Act Two begins with Sally waking up, and there's a whole... thing for that, where everything falls apart in an entirely new and way more sad way! Act Three and Four are the "aftermath" of the au - in a sense.

like - if i were to write a fic, the main one would be Act One + (maybe) Two, though that one might need it's own - shorter - fic. then Act Four would be the immediate squeakual. Act Three could be just an extra fun addition, cause it wouldn't be strictly necessary or overtly Vital due to Act Four's needs. it's more of a... uh... ~Behind the Scenes~ thing.

ALL THIS TO SAY! Popstar would become a thing either in Act Two or Act Three, but Laughingstock would solidify well into Act Four.

#I HAVE VERY GOOD REASONS AS TO WHY LAUGHINGSTOCK TAKES SO DAMN LONG I PROMMY #but popstar. popstar can take center-stage first #especially since Act Two would be Sally-Centric #i think one would be for frank #two is for sally #three is broken up between povs #four would be... uh.... frank again.... maybe wally too?#but wally's would come Later. OH yeah ok i could dole out povs between the two of them #shit but i also have ideas for like... barnaby.... and that thing for sally... and -#ok i think act four would start out frank-centric and slowly include other povs #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #ive been reworking the aftermath after an Epiphany i had the other day #its gotten more complicated but in an easier way? somehow?#this au still has a ways to go before it'd be Fic-Ready though #i need to streamline and tweak and implement....#in fact i think i will go have a Thinking Session rn #pulling up the doc for it <3
