// The story of a girl who wants to disappear, and the boy who sees her. The story of a boy who wants to run away, and the girl who wants to make him stay. The story of two friends in love, and the messy road to being unafraid. // Up on a hill, here's where we begin, this little story, a long time ago... //

This story was requested for me to write by a follower on Tumblr who wanted something inspired by the movie Before Sunrise

Samhain: The first day of November, celebrated by the ancient Celts as a festival marking the beginning of Winter. Or, a modern retelling of Tam Lin with a side of hunky rockstar, because the author just can't control herself. Incredibly unserious. WARNING: Strong language, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of sex, unplanned pregnancy, etc.

Part II (continuation) of: Tomorrow Will Be Different

don't get too attached i might abandon this

Stephanie meets Julian when he asks for her number on a dare. After the two become friends, a tragedy in Stephanie's life brings her closer to him, leading her to develop romantic feelings for the singer. Will she act on those feelings? Or will she let him pass her by? (Planning to update this monthly, so stay tuned!)

A burnt-out musician can barely stand the life she leads. An alcoholic rockstar doesn't believe in love. Both of them like to make pretentious music references.

Background info: *This story begins in New York in 2002 in the middle of Fiona, a minor character, breaking up with Julian. The break-up is a catalyst for the writing of the song "Automatic Stop." Julian becomes depressed for a short amount of time, but he soon gets a "different view" when he meets Ellie... *The story is written in first person and alternates perspectives between Julian and Ellie, the two main characters, telling the story in present tense. ❣ Fun Fact: The Strokes' T in the Park 2004 "Automatic Stop" performance inspired me to write this story. ✏️Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction! tried my best to write this piece with accuracy by reading obscure Strokes articles, watching several interviews, listening to their music, and subsequently incorporating various aspects into the creation of this story. Of course, I left the rest to my imagination... Thanks to anyone who took the time to read what I have written so far! Comments are always appreciated! (:
