you've found your way here. congrats!




SOME DISCLAIMERS:

- this story is based on a fanfic i've written in 2020-2021. if, for some reason, you know this old fic: no you don't.

- though it is based on an old fic, all characters are completely original.

- english is not my first language so typos and mistakes are bound to happen

- chapters might have irregular lenghts. some may be 4k words long, and others might be 10k+, it all depends on how sane i am that day

- the goal is to post every friday, you will be notified if i have to skip a week or two though!

- when i started this story, its main purpose was to make me fall in love with writing again. earlier chapters may be a little "worse" because i hadn't planned to release them to the public at the time. since starting this in febuary of 2023, i've regained a lot of my passion for writing and improved slowly. please keep in mind that i didn't have "a reader" in mind when i started this.

- this story may have topics that are potentially triggering to some people. general themes of this story are: homophobia, ableism, bullying, depression, violence, suicidal ideation, drug use and underage drinking, and all the bad things that can happen to you in highschool

- some tropes, cliches and themes you can expect: fake dating (obviously), highschool romance, strangers to friends to lovers, (best friends to lovers?), mlm and wlw relationships, slowburn (there's a reason the original story was 110k words long), a lot of cheesy fluff, even more angst, pining, yearning, stupidity and denial of feelings, coming out and LOTS of queerness, probably a shit ton of cringe



this story is a huge passion project and is very near and dear to my heart. it wasn't originally my intention to post it, but if you do end up liking it as well, i'd be very thankful if you could vote or comment on my work! you're welcome to share any thoughts that come to mind while reading it, it truly does mean the world to me!

now, please enjoy the ride! or don't!
