    Summary

    Alternate realities seem implausible to Chisato Shirasagi… right up until she wakes up in a different world. Finding yourself in a world where no one remembers your true self is cruel enough. But finding yourself in a world where *only* Kaoru Seta who remembers your true self is probably closer to divine punishment.

    Welcome to a new world, where everything is *just* to the left of recognizable. Bands and friendships change, but the music we sing— and the love we find within it— can never be quieted.

    (AKA: the BandSwap AU no one asked for!)

    Summary

    A breakup leads to many changes. Relationship statuses. Locks. Even addresses. But you never really think about the lesser known ones until it's too late.

    Something that Imai Lisa had learned in twenty-two years of experience was that there were rarely any pleasant reasons for a cell phone ringing at two A.M.

    Then again, a doctor on the other end telling her that her ex still had her listed as her emergency contact was a little worse than what she normally dealt with.

    Summary

    Camping is fun, Reese thought! Surely, the Tigers will be able to camp for one night without some emergency, Reese thought!

    ... but, you know that saying. All good plans go awry and all that.

    Summary

    (Previously titled "i just wanted a tigers group chat fic (and the watt canon died)".)

    Cairo convinces Riley that the sleepover may not be the best way to win the group's approval as the new captain, so she creates a group chat instead. It, and the school year, go about exactly as well as you'd expect it to. That is to say, absolutely not well at all.

    Welcome to hell!

    --

    (Alternate Universe: Everyone Lives / No One Dies - The events in canon that take place before the sleepover like the fall are still here, so there will probably be some angst at times, but it's mainly fun! Also, Riley doesn't want to kill anyone because I love her and I said so. Checkateva is my end game goal but there's definitely hints of other things.)

    Combination of group chat shenanigans and actual writing / content!

    Summary

    There are some things in this world that just unite people. Music? Now, that’s one of the big ones. There’s something in a melody that can connect you to another person in the way nothing else seems to be able to.

    But the world of music? Now, that’s a whole other story.

    Being in a band was the only thing that made Farrah’s life not completely miserable. Her dad was getting remarried, her classes at college were so not going the way she’d expected, and if her new step-sister tried to connect with her one more time, she was going to lose it. At the end of the day, all she wanted to do was play her music and get through the hell that was young adulthood. Everything would turn out fine if she just rode out this endless roller coaster, right?

    But of course, it was never quite that simple.

    (The WATT Band AU that no one except me asked for. It’s also the WATT University AU that no one asked for because this world works slightly better if they didn’t all meet in high school. There’s definitely some variations from canon, but hopefully it’ll be a fun time anyway!)

    Summary

    Mattie was always nervous asking her teammates for a ride home. When Annleigh offers her one, a few months after the events of the sleepover, she accepts only out of surprise the older girl knew how to drive. They both have a stop to make before they head home, though.

    (Post-Canon, deals with the idea of processing grief and guilt, but it's also about growing and holding onto each other! This is not a happy fic, but they're coping and they're friends!)

    Summary

    Those romcoms Kate’s sister made her watch left out a lot of practical advice about asking your crush out. They don’t mention how awkward it is to stand outside to her window at 3 in the morning, with nothing but a rock and a prayer.

    They also don’t talk about how hard it might be to keep moving forward.

    Summary

    The only thing that's the same in each story of Icarus is how he always dies at the end.

    There was so much left to say, but no one was listening to Farrah, anyway.

    They shouldn't be surprised to realize that wallflowers have thorns, too.

    Summary

    She’s kissing you and you sure as hell hope that you’re kissing her back, but more than anything, you hope the fire inside of you doesn’t set the whole damn place ablaze.

    Then her hand is around your neck and that little black dress is on the floor, and fuck it, who gives a shit if we all go up in flames?
