She can't imagine someone finding out.

She wasn't supposed to matter. Lana Carter is just the merch girl- the one in the background counting money, folding shirts, and keeping her head down. She doesn't talk much. She doesn't trust easily. And after everything she's survived, she definitely doesn't believe in people anymore. Especially not men. But tour life doesn't leave room to stay invisible. Not when Josh Dun is loud enough to drag her into conversations she didn't ask for... And not when Tyler Joseph starts noticing things she tries so hard to hide. Like the way she shuts down. The way she apologizes for everything. The story behind the scar she refuses to explain. And the past that isn't done with her yet. This is a story about losing yourself, being seen anyway, and the terrifying moment when you realize you might still be worth staying for.

Emerson Augustine is an aimless university student who followed her best friend to Ohio State. She is unsure of her major, her relationship, and her future. But mostly if her life is worth anything at all, including the hope you have to have to make things better. Tyler Joseph is a small musician, working on a new album and trying to make music into a career, since he dropped out of college. Though his band is gaining some local popularity, he's still working through the local music circuits and trying to carve out a path for him and his band. When his friend Emerson shows up on his doorstep, injured and terrified, he does what he knows he has to do, help. The friendship the two hold gets tested but also deepens in ways the two could never image as the pitfalls of friendship, love, and one's past collide, changing everything for the two anxious kids and their friends.

I am a citizen of Dema. I am an escapee. I have failed time and time again. I have never seen the world outside this city, but one day I hope to. One day I will. My friend Clancy is like me. He is a citizen of Dema. He is an escapee. He is an exception. He has seen the world outside these imposing walls. He tells me about these people he's seen. He hasn't been able to speak with them yet, but he gets closer with each escape. I'm going to ask him to take me the next time he goes. I want to see these people for myself. I want to know if we can survive outside of Dema. Because I want to live.

Dema/Trench Lore, diving into everyday life in Trench with the Banditos, on their path to free Dema. Lita and the rest of the Banditos are led by the Torchbearer, Josh. Their mission is to liberate Dema from the Bishops, but they first need to figure out how to expand the rebellion within the city. In the meantime, the Banditos task themselves with helping more citizens escape the city and adjust to life in Trench. When mysterious letters are discovered throughout the city, some citizens begin to question their commitment to Vialism, and even the Bishops themselves. Nobody knows who this 'Clancy' person is, but the Torchbearer knows how valuable such an ally could be to their cause, and he's determined to get them on their side. *Authors note* This story follows the canon timeline as closely as I'm able, starting from just before HeavyDirtySoul and ending after the events of Levitate. If all goes well, there will be a sequel that delves into what the Banditos do during the SAI era and beyond. I've based several of my characters on real-life people, as well as borrowed some names. Lita is based on Debby Ryan, and Hadley is based on Jenna Joseph. I changed their names for creative reasons, but I didn't want there to be any confusion about who they are meant to be. THIS IS NOT JOSHLER CONTENT. Nothing against it, I'm just more interested in exploring this world the boys have created! Please enjoy ❤️ Started in October 2025

Tyler Joseph x Female OC ~ Avery Holloway was a performer in more ways than one. Of course she performed with her band, but the real performance happened behind the scenes as she tried not to crack from the pressure of her own expectations. So she pushed, waiting years for her big break into the mainstream. Now, it seems that opening for Twenty One Pilots on the Clancy World Tour just might be it, but she hadn't considered what could happen off-stage- and neither did Tyler Joseph. ~ -USE DISCRETION WHEN READING- Potentially distressing topics relating to mental health will be discussed.
