   Summary

   Bill and Pete had a YouTube channel that talked about the state of fandom, while promoting masculinity. After finding some success, they were finally able to move out of Eltingville and rent a run-down apartment together in Manhattan. Now they will make videos and create content together, trying to launch their careers as full-time content creators, two warriors against a world they claim hates them. But as Josh and Jerry also venture into the online world, will they be seen as allies or rivals? Will Bill and Pete's partnership be strong enough not to break apart? Is internet fame worth the price of selling yourself?
   -----------
   AU: Joe's comic book shop never burned down, and the boys never drifted apart. All four of them work in content creation in some way.
