ALL CREDITS GO TO "fullcollapse" on livejournal for this absolutely beautiful story. Mostly AU, high school age setting. With the help of his friends, Ryan has just learned how to like life. Brendon hasn't yet found such luck. This is a story about strong relationships, trust, not wanting to be alone, and holding hands. There's a river, and just like its never-ending path to the ocean, some things just go on forever. Sometimes you need someone more than you need yourself, and sometimes, that's okay. Rating: R. Word count: 200,000+

This fanfiction has been in the works for ten years now. It's about the main characters (Alex, Ellie, and Stella) and their famous boyfriends going through all kinds of insane adventures. I mean... Secret government snipers? Of course. Trapped in the mountains? Yup. Secret celebrity protection agencies? Absolutely. Relationship drama? Yes. Weddings and babies? Check. Amnesia? Unfortunately. Kidnappings? Only a couple. Elderly actors that end up being evil? Got them too. Way too many celebrities to keep track of? Obviously. The main famous people you'll see in here are Ellie's boyfriend Ian Somerhalder, Alex's boyfriend Tom Hiddleston, and Stella's various boyfriends who may or may not all be Jonas Brothers. We also have Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Nicholas Hoult, Halsey, Chris Evans, Betty White, Johnny Depp, Lee Pace, Dan Howell, Phil Lester, Zac Efron, Freddie Prinze Jr, Benedict Cumberbatch, Christopher Walken, Brendon Urie, Dallon Weekes, Patrick Stump, Ryan Ross, the Sprouse brothers, David Henrie, and probably a lot more that we're forgetting. Not everything we've written is even published yet. Some of the events and people we've mentioned above haven't even appeared! So, you'd better tune in now. (Note from 2025: Hi! Like we said this fic has been in the works for over 10 years now. The beginnings definitely reflect that we did not even have our drivers licenses yet when we started writing. But if you stick it out-we super promise that it's going to get really good in the later chapters. Thanks!) We now must reassure you that we do not, unfortunately, own any of the celebrities featured in these pages. So check it out! You might be a little confused... but you definitely won't regret it. Vote, comment, and just enjoy yourselves! Thank you for reading! For extras, Q&A, behind-the-scenes and more visit our tumblr page: https://www.fan-girls-together.tumblr.com/
