Summary
An Aesthetic Ruin, Do Not Fall In Love With A Rock Star story. Jake's Story.
Another self-indulgent, unhinged rock star romance that is entirely untethered by reality. Reading order is:
1. Do Not Engage (Chris' Story)
2. Almost Dying In Silence (What Happened To Seb)
3. Just One Year (Liam's Story)
4. Married, Actually (Jake's Story)This Kind of Quiet: Vignettes of A Happily Ever After sort of spans the entire series. There is some Jake storyline in the O Canada chapter of that story.

This Kind of Quiet: Do Not Fall In Love With A Rock Star series (Vignettes of A Happily Ever After) by koalathebear

Summary
A series of vignettes, "missing scenes" that takes place in the Aesthetic Ruin - Do Not Fall In Love With A Rock Star universe. These vignettes are mostly about Jamie and Chris after the end of Do Not Engage. Other characters are in it of course, but it's mostly Jamie and Chris.
I will try to include a note at the end of each vignette so that it's clear about whether it's set before or after Liam and Jake's stories.
I don't think there's any point reading this story if you haven't read Do Not Engage.
Now that many .. ok some of you know the characters well, I am happy to take prompts for this story if anyone has any particular situations/scenarios that they want to see :)
I love reading comments and they actually do inspire me to write/post more. I don't have a beta reader (obviously) so I have to find and fix my own mistakes which I try to do as I find them. Feel free to point them out. I also do go back and revise certain chapters so it is possible you may go back to a chapter and find it's slightly different or I may have added more.

Summary
Hermione and Tom grew in the same hellhole. If there’s someone who understands his pain is her. He always fucking protected her and always will, even if it means stepping on dead bodies to get to her.
There’s a sickness in his head that screamed for her since he was fourteen, seeing her kneeling on pews, bowing to his father. Spewing the holy word to the bastard who tormented him at home.
She was never something else other than his.

Summary
Penelope Blake is a classically trained guitarist with a spotless resume and zero interest in becoming a rockstar. But when she's offered an obscene paycheck to join the world's biggest pop punk band as their new rhythm guitarist, she says yes-thinking it's just a temporary gig.
Ashes After Midnight: global legends, inked disasters, and every alt girl's dirtiest dream.
They didn't want a new bandmate.
They definitely didn't want her-polished, pretty, and painfully out of place.But now she's in their world.
And they can't stop watching her.
Not when she plays. Not when she moans. Not when she starts to unravel.The frontman taunts her like foreplay.
The drummer dares her to misbehave.
The bassist never speaks-but his stare burns.
And the guitarist? He touches her like she's the only song he still believes in.But this isn't just music. This band made a deal with something dark-something that's coming back to collect. And Penelope might be the only thing standing between them and damnation.
Enemies. Lovers. Monsters. Reverse Harem.
Welcome to the tour from hell. -

Summary
Everyone's got something they can't let go of.
Nate and Xia. Xia and Nate. That's how it's always been. Xia writes the songs, Nate sings them. He couldn't ask for anything else.
Nathaniel is reeling back from his rockstar fame after a stint in rehab. At his lowest, he reunites with a high school fling, Cindy. In a world of chaos, Cindy becomes his one safe haven.
Cindy's down on her luck, so they strike a deal. His money for her time. What starts out simple soon reveals the ugliness of addiction and exploitation that they can no longer hide. It doesn't help that he is forced to witness the unravelling mental state of his best friend. Nate has always been able to abandon everything for Xia, but Cindy makes him hesitate for the first time. Hesitation is what sends Xia into a pit of resentment and doubt. A betrayal from Nate would only send him spiraling deeper into addiction to never return. Cindy gives him the normalcy he had always craved, but Xia is all he's ever known. Nate has to question how much of his identity is dependent on Xia's control and paranoia. Can he escape the cycles he finds himself trapped in before self-destruction swallows them both whole?

Summary
Michael's always had a thing for music, and the music in this new city is good. The new people he meets? Significantly less good, as far as his mother is concerned. Far from home and his childhood friend, Michael finds himself trapped like a moth in a web and drawn inexorably toward the one person he knows he should avoid: David. As he grows closer with the strange, nocturnal blond he finds himself pulled out of the web and into the mouth of the spider; or in this case, vampire.
Really, he just wanted to play the guitar.

Summary
Luigi Mangione is a buttoned-up Computer Engineering major from a wealthy conservative family in Baltimore. Raised on classical debate, private schools, and deference to institutional order, he believes in logic, compromise, and clean-cut appearances. His life is measured, polished, and painfully predictable. Enter Serena Chávez, an unapologetically loud punk singer with a passion for direct action, mutual aid, and anti-capitalist theory. To her, the system isn't broken. It's functioning exactly as it was meant to.
This is a romance fic about dialectical materialism.

Summary
Despite how much N tries, tries, and tries again, he will never be good at his job. Not at hunting, not at killing Worker Drones, not at meeting the company quota, not at appeasing the impossible and endlessly high expectations of his squad leader. Through each failure and reprimand, each corporal punishment and instance of lost memory from his teammates, it gets further drilled into his head and etched onto his very motherboard.
But despite that, N still found solace in the plucking of guitar strings, the bright and flashing lights of a stage, the ecstatic cheering of the crowd, the beating of heavy drums, the throat-tearing guttural screams, and the success of someone he so wishes to be.
Unfortunately, it's against company rules to entertain Worker Drones or express your deepest, darkest feelings through song.
But Hard Rock and its relating genres are all about rebelling and disobeying the rules, so it's only appropriate for him to step onto the stage anyway.

Summary
What if: Lambert was a transfem named Lamia and Aiden was transmasc? And what if Lamia was in a punk band?
They hit it off at the Gender Identity Clinic and begin texting. They definitely don't go on dates and meet each other's families and they definitely don't fall in love far quicker than expected.
I'm indulging all my AuDHD trans feels in a T4T relationship, showing off transfem artists, queer community, leftist hot takes, and fascist punching feels. All the while, playing up autistic flirting and obliviousness, feature supportive neurospicy family, and generally good feels in the face of a shitty world. The world is shit, why don't we dream of something better and manifest it?

Summary
Hunter Wittebane is a top student at NYU Stern Business school in the 90s — academically that is. Unfortunately, past trauma and social anxiety has kept him from succeeding in a way that his uncle — a mogul in the Christian Music Industry— finds acceptable.
Willow Park is also a senior undergrad (also at NYU) who manages the flower booth at her fathers’ four bodegas (Parks on the Park). As graduation approaches she has hoped to get accepted into a competitive Masters for Environmental Science -- during the day that is.
At night she’s the singer/bassist for the underground punk band The Emeralds.
When Hunter messes up the last of many disastrous interviews for a summer internship, he stumbles into The Owl House, a famous East Village rock club, rained on and desperate to find a payphone.
What he discovers is the key to his past, present and future.
And maybe even a chance at love.
Updates Weekly. (I hope)

Summary
When journalist Leah Whitaker is assigned to cover Daisy Jones & The Six during the recording of their groundbreaking album Aurora, she expects late nights, rock and roll, and a front-row seat to music history. What she doesn’t expect is to become part of the story herself.
Inside Sound City’s legendary walls, Leah finds more than just the chaos of creative genius—there are secrets buried in the music, simmering rivalries, and a band held together by tension as much as talent. As her connection with drummer Warren Rojas deepens, and a complicated history with frontman Billy Dunne resurfaces, Leah is pulled into a tangled web of desire, ambition, and the ghosts of the past.
With her career on the line and her heart on the edge, Leah must navigate the thin line between documenting history and becoming it.

Summary
On December ninth, 2030, Paul McCartney was found dead in his home.
And how coincidental it was that he passed on the morning after the fiftieth anniversary of John Lennon's death.
Having been the final remaining Beatle, and having not outlived Yoko Ono, Paul took initiative and filmed a final, grand statement to be released upon his death. He spoke about everything: starting with that fated summer in '57 at the festival in Woolton, and about all throughout his life and career as a rock legend. He would also revisit and refine his previous statements about John Lennon, who he sites as his sole muse for this documentary, finally unveiling the true nature of their complicated relationship and rumored love affair that had been continually denied, until now.
He even spoke, at last, about what truly happened during the band's trip to India in 1968: the trip that undeniably changed the chemistry between the Beatles forever, especially between himself and Lennon.
Because there were many things that Sir James Paul McCartney had not spoken truthfully of: both now, and then.
