#twentyonepilots fanfic

[oldiesstationlover11607]

the way every time i see this picture i think of what the torchbearer would be like with a dog and animals 😭

I have this huge huge feeling he's super spiritual. Weird and random headcannon but he'd so have huge meetings with the Banditos about respecting the nature and balance of Trench which in my head would kind of link to his power to guide. He'd be super environmentally conscious – especially with Dema being an industrial place with lots of smog and stuff.

Just a thought lmao

[useyourglutes]

i'm going back and re-reading all the fics i've posted on ao3 cuz i second guess myself but like, WHY AM I LOWKEY EATING WITH THESE??? HOLY SHIT THE 4AM FUMES MADE ME MODERN FUCKING SHAKESPEARE BRO

[roughbuddy]

i will never be able to listen to forest again without thinking about the forest fic. the line in the song “my treehouse is on fire” just like in the fanfic. only question is did the song inspire the fic or did the fic inspire the song??

A TYLER X READER ONE SHOT “Just another work day”

I originally wrote this to be a one shot but let me know if you like it, maybe I’ll write more parts!

You stood in front of the door to the dressing room, a bottle of water in one hand and your clipboard in the other. You’d worked enough shows at this venue to know how to handle artists, but you still couldn’t shake the nervous energy that came with meeting them for the first time. Today, it was Twenty One Pilots. A name you recognized instantly. You’d listened to their music countless times, though you’d never admit that out loud. Professionalism first, always.

You knocked on the door, your knuckles sharp against the wood.

“Come in!” A voice called, slightly muffled but distinct.

Pushing the door open, you stepped inside and were immediately met with the sight of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun sitting on the small couch, both mid-conversation. They looked up simultaneously, and you caught yourself pausing for a split second.

“Hi,” you began, steadying your voice. “I’m (Y/N), your artist liaison for tonight. I’m here to make sure you guys have everything you need and that things run smoothly. If there’s anything you want or require, just let me know.”

Tyler’s gaze lingered on you for a moment, his eyes sharp and assessing. He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees. “Well, (Y/N),” he started, his tone laced with a subtle sarcasm that made you question if he was serious or not, “I was thinking we could use a gourmet meal, a new couch this one isn’t great, and, oh, maybe a golden retriever to keep us company.”

You blinked at him, caught off guard by the laundry list of ridiculous requests. Josh hid a smile, his eyes darting between you and Tyler.

“Right,” you said, tilting your head slightly, refusing to be intimidated. “Well, if those things were so important to you, they should’ve been included on the rider you submitted weeks ago. Guess you’ll have to make do with what we’ve got here.”

Tyler’s eyebrows raised, his lips parting slightly as if surprised by your response. Josh let out a small laugh, shaking his head. “Sorry about him,” he said, his voice warm and friendly. “He’s just messing around.”

“I figured,” you replied with a small smile, though your focus was still on Tyler. He hadn’t said anything yet, just stared at you in a way that made your stomach flip. His serious expression softened slightly, and then, out of nowhere, he grinned.

“Huh,” Tyler said, leaning back against the couch. “If you don’t get my humor, we’ll probably never make a good team.”

For a moment, the room was quiet, save for the faint sounds of the crew moving around outside the door. You raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of your lips. “Sorry, I guess I’m not great at liking middle school humor.”

Josh let out a louder laugh this time, and even Tyler chuckled, shaking his head. “I like this girl,” Tyler said, glancing at Josh but making sure you heard him.

You couldn’t help but laugh now, the tension breaking. “Well,” you said, trying to keep the mood light, “I’ll see if I can make some calls and get that golden retriever for you.”

Tyler grinned, his head tilting slightly as he looked at you. “Don’t worry about it, sweetie,” he said smoothly, his tone playful but warm. “All we really need is some water.”

Your cheeks warmed slightly at the nickname, but you kept your composure. “Water, I can do,” you replied, giving him a pointed look before turning to leave the room.

As you reached the door, you heard Tyler call out behind you, “Hey, (Y/N)!”

You glanced over your shoulder, your heart skipping a beat when you saw him watching you with that same faint smile.

“You’re fun,” he said simply, before leaning back on the couch like he hadn’t just made your stomach flutter.

You walked out of the room with a small smile of your own, already counting down the minutes until you had an excuse to go back in.

Balancing the tray with two bottles of water, you made your way back to the dressing room. When you pushed the door open, you noticed Josh was gone. Only Tyler remained, sitting cross-legged on the couch, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrest.

“Where’s Josh?” you asked, stepping inside and placing the tray on the table.

“He’s out getting that golden retriever i asked for” Tyler said.

You paused, raising an eyebrow. “You’re kidding, right?”

Tyler straightened up slightly, tilting his head as if contemplating your question. “Well…” He dragged the word out dramatically. “This was actually a joke I thought about earlier. Like, what if I said we needed a golden retriever, but then it turned out Josh’s dog actually is a golden retriever? You’d be all surprised, like, ‘Wait, is this a joke or not?’ But now the joke’s kind of ruined because I’ve explained it, and-” He cut himself off midsentence, pressing his lips together and shaking his head. “Never mind. I talk too much. Don’t mind me.”

You couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped your lips. Tyler was rambling in a way that was so unreasonably serious it became funny.

He noticed your laugh and narrowed his eyes, though the corners of his mouth twitched like he was trying not to smile. “What’s so funny?”

“You,” you said simply, meeting his gaze. “You’re impossible to deal with.”

His smile broke through then, soft but confident. “Yeah, but you like me anyway.”

You blinked, taken aback by his boldness. “I don’t think I ever said that.”

“You didn’t have to,” he shot back without hesitation, leaning forward slightly.

You shook your head, trying to suppress the warmth creeping up your neck. “Confident much?”

“Not confident. Observant,” he said, his tone teasing but laced with something more genuine. He let the words linger for a moment before standing up and moving closer to you, just enough to make your heart skip a beat.

Before you could respond, he added, “And since we’re being honest, I know you’re a fan.”

Your breath hitched slightly, and your eyes widened. “Excuse me?”

He smirked, clearly enjoying your reaction. “Come on. I saw it the second you walked in. The way you froze for a millisecond when you saw us, the little smile you tried to hide when you said hi, it’s okay. You don’t have to pretend.”

You folded your arms, determined not to let him see how flustered you felt. “Wow, you really think you know everything, don’t you?”

“Not everything,” he said, his voice softening, though his eyes stayed locked on yours. “Just enough to know when someone’s trying really hard not to like me.”

For a moment, you were at a loss for words. He was so relentless, so sure of himself, and yet there was something almost endearing about it.

“Well,” you said finally, a playful smile tugging at your lips. “Maybe I am a fan. But if you think that means I’m going to let you get away with everything, you’re wrong.”

Tyler grinned, clearly enjoying the challenge. “I wouldn’t expect anything less.”

Just as the tension between you seemed to reach its peak, the door swung open, and Josh walked back in, holding a bottle of orange juice.

“What’d I miss?” he asked, looking between you and Tyler, who quickly took a step back, his expression the picture of innocence.

“Not much,” Tyler said casually, though you could see the flicker of mischief in his eyes as he glanced at you.

You rolled your eyes, grabbing your clipboard and making a mental note to get through the rest of the night without letting Tyler Joseph completely disarm you again. Though, judging by the smirk on his face, you weren’t sure that was possible.

[ some time later ]

The faint vibrations of the crowd’s energy seeped through the walls as you stood near the backstage area, double checking your clipboard. The show was minutes away, and everything seemed to be running smoothly. You were just about to step away when Tyler appeared, walking toward you with a relaxed yet purposeful stride.

“Hey,” he called out, holding an empty water bottle in one hand. “Do you have a second?”

“Of course,” you replied, straightening up as he stopped a few feet in front of you.

“I just realized I finished my water, and I might need some for the show. You think you can help me out?” he asked, though the way his lips twitched suggested he had more on his mind than hydration.

“Sure,” you said, setting your clipboard down and handing him a fresh bottle from the side table. “Anything else?”

He twisted the cap off and took a sip, his eyes never leaving yours. Then, as casually as if he were commenting on the weather, he asked, “What about you? Do you need anything?”

You blinked, caught off guard. “Huh? What do you mean?”

Tyler’s lips curled into a faint smile, one that was just a little too knowing. “I don’t know,” he said with a shrug, his voice lower now, almost teasing. “After the show, we won’t see each other again, right? So I thought… maybe you needed something from me.”

Your breath hitched slightly, and you froze, caught somewhere between confusion and anticipation. “Uh, I… I don’t know,” you stammered, feeling your cheeks heat up under his steady gaze.

Tyler raised an eyebrow, leaning just a fraction closer. “Come on,” he said softly, his tone playful but probing. “You definitely do know.”

A nervous laugh escaped you, and you finally admitted, “Maybe… a hug?”

He chuckled, the sound deep and warm as he straightened up again. “A hug?” he repeated, shaking his head in mock disbelief. “I was thinking you’d want my number, but a hug will do.”

Your eyes widened, your heart leaping into your throat. “Oh, shit! No, wait, I want your number! Of course I want your number!”

Tyler laughed outright now, a genuine, full laugh that made you feel flustered.

But then, just as the stage manager signaled that it was time for him to head out, he stepped forward and pulled you into a hug. Not a quick, polite one, this was firm, warm, and lingering just long enough to leave you breathless.

As he pulled back, his lips brushed near your ear. “Too late, pretty girl,” he murmured with a grin.

Before you could react, he was already stepping away, bottle in hand, walking toward the stage where Josh was waiting. He turned around one last time, flashed you a mischievous smile, and disappeared into the lights as the crowd erupted in cheers.

You stood there, stunned, your heart pounding as the realization hit: your shift was over, the show was starting, and Tyler Joseph had just walked out of your life without leaving his number.

But as you grabbed your clipboard and headed out, you couldn’t help but smile. Something told you this wasn’t the last you’d hear from him.

[sirens-wont-wake-me-up]

sleep time is the best time for writing, i get the best ideas only after midnight. it was 3ish am and i decided to record an audio of me rumbling about how i wanted to write the new joshler it was 8 minutes long and i just stopped because i couldn't figure out if i wanted it diary like or third person or both

[scaledbackandisolated14]

The bravery I have to be writing Twenty Øne Piløts fanfic while at theatre rehearsal 😂😂 I’m the stage manager and they don’t really need me, but I get scared anytime someone looks my way 😬

cherry pt.1 tyler joseph

famous!reader x tyler joseph from twenty one pilots

summary: you out yourself in front of a whole stadium about you crush on tyler.

a/n: I haven’t found many fics about tyler and I felt like contributing to the cause, xoxo, also, I tried to incorporate instagram posts here to make it more interesting, stealing lana del rey’s discography here btw, promise more in person interaction on part 2

breathing was difficult at this point, running from one end of the stage to the other, singing and dancing, interacting with fans, trying to make the concert the best experience for them.

“girl, you’re killing it tonight, damn!” carol, your manager, said while taking the sweat off your forehead before the next set.

“killing my lungs, actually” barely any sound coming out of your lips “I’m gonna need a gallon of water after this”

you can hear the screams while the screens showed some visuals to give you time to recover and retouch your makeup.

“hey, what was the name of the singer from that band that you like? I saw on twitter that he is here” red lipstick now adorning your lips, changing the light brown from before.

“I like a lot of bands, carol, any more details to give?” the two of you jogged across the dressing room to the platform that puts you on stage.

“one minute” a voice yelled from a distance.

“the one with the black neck and one with red hair, something about pilots” a comb ran through your hair for the last time before continuing with the show.

“tyler joseph? you have to be kidding, carol!” your head moving fast towards her, screaming loud while securing the in-ear monitor, the same voice from before starting to count down. “now I’m going to faint in front of the guy before meeting him, you know twenty one pilots are my favorite, god!”

“10 seconds, guys”!

“good luck out there, love you” she threw a kiss at you, making you smile while the platform went up, revealing the entire arena full of people.

“oh, hi there” a crew member handed you a guitar for the next song, “so, you know I’m a big fan girl, I tend to cry went I met celebrities from time to time” the first chords of the song cherry played through the speakers, “and someone told me backstage, that my favorite bandito is here”, the arena went crazy as you played the beginning of bandito.

“yeah, I know!” you smiled from ear to ear, seeing how thrilled everyone was “this next song doesn’t have any relationship with twenty one pilots or any of its members, by the way” a subtle laugh from the fans made you smile more, “but in all seriousness, I truly love twenty one pilots, my favorite band ever, and is truly an honor that tyler is here at my concert!” your hands touching your chest and your mouth open, exaggerating your surprise.

“I don’t actually know where he is, but I want you to know that I love you, in a no creepy way obviously” your eyes danced through the thousands of people in front of you “you guys get me, right? normal fan girl things, having their faces as wallpaper, having posters, reading some fanfics maybe” redness covered your face, moving your head side to side, “ignore that, shit, this is cherry”

the concert ended an hour after that, leaving the fans full of memorable moments, and you feeling ecstatic, running backstage to check your phone and rest. laying on the couch with a bottle of water on hand, you scrolled instagram, almost howling while seeing the first photo in your timeline.

liked by joshuadun, twentyonepilots, billieeilish, yourusername and others.

your phone buzzing with notificacions after that comment, putting your phone on no disturb mode was the only way to calm you anxiety just a little, a million thoughts running thru your head.

he thinks I’m a weirdo

he’a gonna blocked me

I’m gonna get banned from their concerts

“okey, at least he took it with humor, it could be worst, yeah” your own mind tried to calm you, but your heart keep going like you were being chase by a lion.

with trembling fingers, you picked your phone, opening instagram again, reading all the comments, some being positive and very funny, and some saying you were a creep, which was almost true.

the next hour was dedicated to reading comments on instagram and twitter until carol came to take you out of the venue, which usually take two hours, and after refreshing the discovery page on instagram and reposting a few stories from fans on your stories, you decided to check your inbox, a verified account catching your eyes immediately.

tylerrjoseph send you a message.

oh shit. shit. shit. shit

your phone flew away to the other couch, to afraid to open the message, your gaze frozen, looking at the phone like it was going to explote any minute from now. still debating between reading it or delete you entire account, you grabbed your phone and opened the message with your eyes closed.

tylerrjoseph hi! great concert, favorite song was cherry:)

[useyourglutes]

heyhey check out a silly little fic i wrote!!! it's joshler and it's sad <3 Truce

[brynn-lear]

Hi, I'm Brynn V. Lear! I'll just insert my discord profile description here: I'm the Trash Husbando in your typical Japanese but localized switch otome game. If you did a blind playthrough and got my route— you need therapy too <3

QNA

╰ ➣ how do you spend your free time?

What free time? Half a lark, half a painful reality. But when there is free time, I do everything and anything. Make a visual novel, draw comics, write fics, see my husband- whatever goes, goes.

╰ ➣ what are your hobbies and how did you get into them?

I drew a bit of FNAF (terribly) when I was in third grade because I wanted to show my friends the funny comic dubs I saw; but I'm broke and only rely on my aunt's computer (whose house I have to walk to) so I can access the net. I truly learned to love drawing at sixth grade when I had a sudden spike of interest in anime (yikes /j).

As for writing... I was enamored when I made joke fanfictions of my classmates during highschool. Kind of a funny story but that's for another time, my students. Ask @estellxli and @a-dose-of-phitre lol.

╰ ➣ what book or movie left a lasting impression on you?

The book that has a lasting impression on me is The Stranger by Albert Camus because that's what actually got me to reading stuff that isn't some wattpad fanfic. It seriously got me to love reading as a whole- though that's probably not everyone's first thought when talking about it lol. It definitely influenced how I act during times of stress afterwards; is that a bad thing, who knows? Maman died today.

Then "movie" with a lasting impression would hilariously be John Wick cause lmao that altered my brain chemistry on what an ideal husband should be-

╰ ➣ what kind of music do you enjoy?

Anything. I've jumped several hoops haha. Rn I'm listening to more introspective rap and old hiphop. Let's ignore how my mood randomly jumps from Engelbert to MCR/FOB/TOP/P!ATD to Tom Jones to Sabrina Carpenter to KDot to Johnny Cash— music is music. All Are Great.

My spotify wrapped will tell you I only listen to instrumentals though. It ain't my fault it's the easist one to listen when grinding out lab reports. If you're asking who's my favorite for the past few years, Hozier, definitely. I haven't listened to twentyonepilots but Tyler and Josh were my GOATs when I was in highschool (I memorized all their discography up to Trench). Both Hozier and twentyonepilots's Self-Titled albums have a special place in my heart. Genuinely, I think those albums are so dang good.

╰ ➣ who is your favorite character (OF ALL TIME, FIVE YEARS GOING STRONG) and why?

I don't think anyone is looking forward to me ranting about N,N-Dimethyltryptamine again (Dimitri from FE:TH). Just know this man brought me more reasons to live and accept parts of myself I didn't before. The way he destroys and builds himself back up is just... very inspiring to me. Now, this may be a good time for me to be soft and explain how much I resonate with his "good kid" personality to absolute disgruntled behavior and at least fifteen other pandoras boxes sold at a discount price of your 3 hours— but I won't yap today

Many thanks for the tag, Harmony!

╰ ➣ If you're interested, join in!: @haven-avalon, @lucienbarkbark, @mochinon-yah, and of course the two friends I tagged earlier lol

tag + q&a game ₊˚ෆ

hello! i thought it would be cute and exciting to do a tag game with all my mutuals to not only talk about themselves, but have fun! so here is my short little game:

alongside this picrew, share 5 things about yourself!

• how do you spend your free time? • what are your hobbies and how did you get into them? • what book or movie left a lasting impression on you? • what kind of music do you enjoy? • who is your favorite character (atm or all time) and why?

i will start first!

my name is rurumi and i enjoy spending my free time writing!

some of my hobbies (outside of writing) includes: drawing, building gundams and keyboards, and fashion! i got into most of them on a whim and became instantly hooked. aside from self-expression, being into fashion also helps with making friends in college because you always have something to talk about!

a book that left a lasting impression on me would have to be either kafka on the shore by haruki murakami or before the coffee gets cold by toshikazu kawaguchi. both stories have kept me up at night thinking a lot about the 'what ifs' in life.

i enjoy soul/r&b alongside anything of jrock influence, but i will basically listen to anything that sounds good. i am currently listening to 'so what' by lucy!

my favorite character at the moment is rin itoshi from blue lock because hes so ridiculously edgy, but at the same time i sympathize with him a lot. on the other hand, my favorite character of all time is suletta mecury from the witch from mercury series, she's an absolute ball of sunshine that i aspire to be.

tagging (+ no pressure) ₊˚ෆ
