Summary
Tyler Joseph is an investigative journalist. Joshua Dun is the annoying nepo baby who lurks around the office contributing absolutely nothing to the paper or to society in general, as far as Tyler is concerned. Tyler hasn’t dated in years, not since the incident, and Josh is the last person on earth that he would choose if he were to ever consider exploring love again.
There’s more to Josh than Tyler understands. A bad start to life, a constantly evolving identity, an unstable sense of self, and a complex minefield to navigate whenever he tries to connect with others. Maybe it’s all too much to for other people to tolerate, maybe he’s just too much.

Summary
The hand-biting is a horrible habit that covers up a much deeper problem--anxiety, nervousness.
And painful, undiluted pining.
(Or the one in which Josh was made to have his heart broken and his hands bleeding)

Summary
The doors opened and the cold winter evening air hit Josh as he made his way onto the platform and down the metal stair case, each step echoing in the dark. Josh glanced at his watch, it had been a gift from Tyler and on the back were engraved the words 'You are the calm to my storm', the message made him smile but the time did not, 6.16pm.

Long term mental health issues can be tricky to manage within a relationship, but somehow Josh and Tyler are going against the odds to make it work. Love takes many different forms after all. Chocolate dipped strawberries on a surprise picnic wouldn’t be out of character, but in reality this romance holds far more sobbing episodes huddled on the floor than any grand gestures, and this story aims to show that even the deepest love can’t cure mental illness, no matter how hard we wish it might.

If you finished this story and enjoyed it, I've also written a series of short updates from the same universe, for example their wedding, called Unseen - Fear Will Lose , so go check them out x

Summary
“I do this instead of going home, like, a lot,” Josh replied, eyes set straight ahead.
“And by this,” Tyler said, “you mean speeding down an empty road at damn near 100 miles per hour?”
or
It’s 2011, and Josh will try anything to escape his feelings for Tyler - until, one night, he invites Tyler along.
