mandi; a girl suffering from depression and insomnia Josh; a boy willing to help mandi battle the demons that shroud her vessel

"Courtney, what do you fear? Do you have any fears?" "Dementophobia." "What does that mean?" "The fear of going insane." {ONCE WAS #207 IN FANFICTION}

After having a fallout with his so called "friends", Josh starts hiding away in his bedroom. His parents, of course, are concerned, but in not wishing to invade his private life, they get him a dog. Tyler ends up helping Josh over come the plague of loneliness and slight depression, and even helps him find a new friend along the way. Yes, Tyler is a dog. No, this is not a Joshler fic. This is nothing other than an alternative universe story wherein a boy much like Josh Dun owns a dog named Tyler.

Charlie doesn't speak, so he paints.

Charlotte Robin Dun is a smart girl- really. She just makes some poor choices with even poorer judgement. Her best friends aren't exactly the best of role models either. Her parents are upset with her, her brother Josh is disappointed in her, and Tyler Joseph- the boy with a gigantic crush on Charlotte- just wants to help her out. But things don't work out so easily for her when one fateful night both makes her world crash down on her while simultaneously giving her a reality check. Given one last chance to straighten up and adopt a better attitude, Robin finds herself struggling to cope with the terrible things that are continued to be thrown her way. All she wants is for everyone to leave her alone(be there), and Tyler Joseph makes the latter his personal mission.
