Diana is looking forward to finally finishing high school. Stay out of trouble. Focus only on art. This is Diana's grand plan - until she is assigned to paint the portraits of a girl she can't stand to be around: the school's obnoxious soccer team captain, Alex Perez. ***** It's senior year. Diana just wants to keep her head low while dealing with a family that is slowly but steadily falling apart and a best-friend-turned-enemy that she could certainly do without. The last thing Diana wants to do is spend her last year of high school painting the portraits of Alex Perez. Everyone loves Alex - she's the town's prodigy and the school's golden girl. But Diana and Alex couldn't be more opposite; put them in an art room together and a disaster is bound to happen.

Idk I just really felt like making a book so this is gonna be a bunch of random oneshots. @80s_nerd read my book please 😌🥚

Bowie, baggy pants, and boy problems. Welcome to Welton Academy, 1988. Todd Anderson is a hopeless romantic, closeted and tragically in love with his roommate. Neil Perry is an outgoing stud who is equally as obsessed. Charlie Dalton is rooting from afar. Being queer in the eighties, especially in a catholic boys boarding school, might not be the most pleasant experience. The "gay plague" is making a sweep and riots are happening blocks away. While the fight for freedom continues, Todd struggles with his own boy battles.

i whisper with my lips close to your ear, i have loved many women and men, but i love none better than you. o i have been dilatory and dumb, i should have made my way straight to you long ago, i should have blabb'd nothing but you, i should have chanted nothing but you. -walt whitman, to you ~~~~~~~~ basically just the plot of dead poets society but if neil and todd were a thing

❝i went to the woods because i wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if i could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when i came to die, discover that i had not lived.❞ ╰► dead poets society reader inserts!!! est 08/2019

The plan for this is basically a ridiculously sad Anderperry (Todd Anderson x Neil Perry) fic. So yeah, don't read at a family dinner if you don't want to sob.

"How do you know if you love someone?"- Richie asked. Bev smirked. "You know you're in love with someone when they're literally your world. You want nothing but happiness for them even if you can't be the one who gives them that. Why Rich, is someone on your mind?"

Neil was caught between a hard place and a rock. His lungs heaved as he desperately tried to suck in air, but to no avail. He couldn't breath. Tears ran down his face as he smothered his strangled sobs against his pillow. He didn't know how long he could keep up this act. All he wanted was Todd. Todd couldn't sleep. He hadn't been able to for the past few nights. All he could think about was Neil. His lips as they closed over a cigarette. His brown eyes sparkling as he practiced his lines as Puck. His wet hair and how it clung to his neck after a shower. Todd squeezed his eyes tight as he tried to will away the wicked images. He shouldn't be staring at his best friend like that. It was unnatural. It meant he was a fairy. Yet Todd couldn't help but stare. A story of two boys coming together, overcoming some of life's obstacles, and falling in love with each other; until one is tragically taken away.
