All The- Swamp Things by FlymetotheMax

Summary
Freshman year kicks off with high hopes when best friends Skizz and Impulse land ensemble roles in their high school’s chaotic production of Shrek the Musical. Together, they dive headfirst into tech days, costume mishaps, and swamp-themed nonsense—until Impulse gets promoted to a featured part and doesn’t tell Skizz first.
What starts as harmless jealousy quickly spirals into full-on backstage rivalry, complete with passive-aggressive dance battles, silent treatment during warm-ups, and theatrical sabotage that makes the assistant stage manager Etho seriously reconsider his life choices. With Joel dropping moss from the fly loft, Cleo flashing lights at people mid-fight, and Xisuma calmly steering the ship as director, the drama offstage rivals anything happening under the spotlight.
But during tech week, a meltdown leads to a much-needed confrontation—and maybe something a little more tender than either of them expected. As the curtain rises on closing night, the only question left is: will the Swamp Squad go out fighting… or holding hands?

Summary
Joel pushes himself too hard during a big Hermitcraft event, desperate to prove himself after a few mocking comments hit a little too close. He wins—but instead of feeling triumphant, he crashes hard. When Lizzie finds him post-event, panicking and nonverbal, she calls Etho for backup. Joel tries to insist he’s fine, but eventually breaks down and regresses fully in their arms.

Summary
The theater was buzzing with energy as the final touches were made to the set, and the cast moved around in preparation for the last rehearsal before tech week. But the excitement in the air was quickly replaced by a sudden, unmistakable sound. A sickening thud, followed by a sharp, unmistakable groan.
Lizzie froze, her heart skipping a beat. She turned to the others nearby, her voice quiet but urgent. "Did you hear that?"
For a moment, no one moved. Everyone just stood there, frozen, as if waiting for the next sound to come. The next sound never came, and Lizzie’s instincts screamed at her to move. "Joel!" she called out, panic rising in her chest. She started toward the catwalk, barely thinking, her body already in motion as the fear gripped her.

Summary
Relief flooded her. She turned to go back to her seat—
And caught Shelby watching her.
She had a small smile on her face, one that sent Katherine’s brain into full shutdown mode.
Katherine quickly sat down, trying not to overthink it.
Shelby was up next, and Katherine tried not to stare, but it was difficult. Shelby had this effortless way of performing, like she belonged on stage. Her voice was light but strong, and she had this way of connecting with the song that made it impossible to look away.

Mumbo groaned. "Why do I feel like I’m about to suffer?"
Grian threw an arm around his shoulder. "Because you are, buddy. You absolutely are."
Scar grinned. "Can’t wait."
As they stepped into the auditorium, Grian felt a buzz of anticipation settle under his skin. This show was going to change everything—he just didn’t know how much yet.

Summary
Cue the Chaos: A Theatre Kid AU follows Lizzie, the lead actress in her high school’s fall production of Phantom Of The Opera, and her chaotic, yet somehow perfect, interactions with the two most important (and frustrating) people in her life: Joel, the head of the fly crew, and Etho, the ever-stoic stage manager. As they navigate the stress of tech week, the three of them clash, collaborate, and inevitably develop a complicated bond that goes far beyond the stage. With Joel’s reckless enthusiasm, Etho’s cool efficiency, and Lizzie’s constant juggling act as the lead, the trio’s relationship grows into something unexpected—and a little bit messy. Amid miscommunications, backstage dramas, late-night rehearsals, and moments of vulnerability, they find themselves caught in a love triangle that none of them saw coming. What begins as a chaotic, adrenaline-fueled journey through tech week blossoms into a unique and tender relationship, with a lot of laughs, kisses, and a little bit of sabotage along the way. Through it all, they learn that maybe, just maybe, being a little screwed is exactly what they need to make everything fall into place.
