Scott, Mitch, and the 1990s gay scene - brought to the modern day in honor of Pride month. I began writing this during Pride month in 2017. The LGBTQ+ community's ongoing battle for equality has come so, so far, especially in the last 20 years. While there are a lot of factors that brought us to this point, one of the most significant, in my opinion, is the role the internet has played. It's allowed us to more easily connect with each other and has been perhaps the best vehicle for queer visibility since Gilbert Baker created the first Pride flag. It wasn't always like this. It was hard being young and queer in the 1990s, but that time period was pivotal; dusk was falling on what being queer had always been. It was the end of small pockets of queerness, of gay districts and questionable bars and kids not having anywhere to turn for help. After fighting hard for 50 years, advancing equality bit by bit, there's a very real fear that we may lose ground in the current political climate. In honor of #Pride2017, and as a reminder of why we need to keep fighting, I'm going to use the internet to take a jump to the left and time warp Scott, Mitch, and the gang back to the mid 90s. Only the wealthy had cell phones, the internet was rudimentary and haphazard, and the music was amazing. The experiences in this series will reflect experiences I personally had or that friends of mine had in the queer community during that time. This is more than a love story.

This is my one-shot book! It will mainly be focused on Scomiche, but there's a possibility I might write about other ships as well. This will range from PG to R to everything in between! Smut will be marked.

Mitch Grassi has never been able to be a normal teen. When his parents failed to pay off the debt they owe to a dangerous man, Mitch was forced to do whatever it takes to stay alive and keep those around him safe. That is until an equally dangerous Scott Hoying takes a liking to him. Due to some mishaps, Scott finds out Mitch's situation and promises to take care of him if in return, the boy does whatever he says. Will the Grassi family finally be able to live in peace or will Mitch always remain in the arms of danger? This is based off of my short stories Dark!Scomiche 1,2&3. And by now you all should know I suck at summaries.

@scotthoying: The acceptance rate for pop music at USC this coming fall was 7%. congrats @mitchgrassi :D

When Mitch and Scott meet as college roommates, they're not sure what to make of each other. They're so different; Mitch is tiny and alternative and sarcastic and gay as a meatball, and Scott is absolutely positive he's straight as can be. Yet through a shared love of Queen Bey and a few of those spill-your-guts late night college talks, they forge a strong friendship, and from there... Well. Gay shit happens.
