#tbf this isn't entirely new or entirely original. I'm sure a dozen fics similar to this have been written lbr

And if I went absolutely insane and wrote some HSM fic in this year of our lord, 2024?

Because I have notes and little else for my million WIPs, and my gay af brain has given me a storyline - for characters who never were out on screen but totally realized later that they were into each other? Further bridging the gap between theatre kids and jocks after growing up a little? Reuniting as adults after coming out? And yes I do mean Chad and Ryan. Dealing with becoming their full selves after high school and unexpectedly being massive parts of each other's lives and falling in love for real.

What then?
