Summary
"Sometimes life gets in the way. But I'm still glad we met"
College was supposed to be easy. Just focus on your studies and stay under the radar. Escape the gilded cage with your chosen family (and try to keep it all hidden from your stepdad).
But when a new jock comes to town and his life, Fenris can no longer focus. Messy feelings, homophobia and friendships collide. Sometimes, all you can do is to try to hold on to things you have, even as the world crumbles around you. It doesn't help when you're getting feelings for your closeted roommate.
But life doesn't wait and in the end, Fenris walks away. Guitar slung on his back, life packed in cardboard boxes. All he's left with is a letter and a burnt CD. And a maybe.
Part one of a trilogy.

Summary
". . . So. Do you want to kill yourself?"
Bucky blinks. "Excuse me?"
Sam, Steve, and Tony all look at each other. Steve speaks up first. "Well, you just seem . ."
Tony interjects. "Like you want to kill youself."
Bucky looks between the three men. "Like I want to kill myself." He repeats.
Sam clears his throat. "We're just– Concerned! You know? Like, we don't want you to— . ."
"Die." Steve finishes.
Tony leans back, plucking at the strings of his guitar idly. "We mostly don't want you to kill yourself before the next gig. Would be a pain in the ass to find a new drummer on such short notice."
Sam Wilson loves music. Everything about the process, the culture, it all makes his heart sing. When he has the chance to start a band, he jumps at the opportunity, especially when his friend, Steve, happily agrees to help. But maybe Sam's bitten off more than he can chew, especially when his new bandmates all have more baggage than they can comfortably admit to. Especially Sam himself.

Summary
It was just one night. One favor.
Renjun thought nothing of covering a bar shift for his best friend, until the lights dimmed, and that local band NEO took the stage. Three boys, too loud, too beautiful, too much.
Jaemin plays the guitar like he doesn’t care if it kills him. Jeno’s behind the drums, grinning like he knows exactly what he does to people. Haechan sings like he’s burning the world down.
Renjun’s supposed to be an artist. But suddenly all his thoughts sketch the same two faces.
This isn’t love. Probably.
(But god, they look at him like it could be.)

Summary
Renjun has worked here too long. He’s good at making it look like his work has a purpose, at the grayness of it, at avoiding the break room and fading into the buzz of monitors and clacking keys.
Then comes Jaemin, the new hire who looks like he took a wrong turn off the boardwalk and landed in their beige department by accident. He’s quiet, polite, and wears saltwater like perfume. Renjun doesn’t know what to make of him.

Summary
Hello, everyone! This is my first fic I’m posting on AO3, and I hope you all enjoy! Before I start, this fic is a homage to my good friend who’s a Beatles fan herself! Love you, K!
As for the fic, this is a Beatles AU set in the 2000s! The setting is in Liverpool, England (of course!), and John Lennon and Paul McCartney have their own little rock band together. The two of them are more on the punkish side in this fic, and you’ll see what I mean soon enough! Y/N and John aren’t really the best of friends, and it’s no better with Paul either.
I hope you enjoy reading! ^_^

Summary
John Lennon, busy scraping by while working at a record shop (one he happened to be rather fond of), felt like he was so, so close to finally making a break in the music industry with his closest lad - Paul McCartney. Of course, there were others he could credit here and there, but it was him and Paul that were the ones busying themselves with songwriting.
They were the ones spending every feasible, waking moment together just to correct one another on the smallest detail of a lyric.
They were the ones pressing their knees together, so close their breaths mixed as they tuned their instruments by ear.
They were the reason John felt even slightly capable of seeing a possible future ahead of him while everything behind him couldn't get shaken off.

Summary
Six years ago, December Holiday vanished without a trace...
After settling down for a sleepover with Kris, Susie wakes up with the worst headache of her life in the school's supply closet, with no idea of how she got there. Outside, she finds the entire town empty, with cars wrecked and abandoned on the street and nobody in sight. Trapped in the town, it begins to seem like she can't trust anything - not even her own mind. Worse still: she begins to realize that she is in love with Noelle, and has absolutely no idea how to confess it to her.
Lesbian romance & sci-fi psychological horror, and the worst of both worlds.
