AU where the Sides are all real people going to college. The college they all go to is a big fictional college in Florida (the state where Thomas lives) (me too). I'm sorta mixing FSU, FIT, UF, my hometown community college, and the college I go to, UCF (go knights), all into one fictional college. This is going to be a very slow-burn, pretty technical book. I apologize in advance because I will not be including trigger warnings within the chapters. People can be triggered by really anything (myself included) and I honestly can't guess and warn about everything. Sorry; truly. Message me if you want me to include a warning about something specific (I don't want to stress over deciding what would and would not trigger people). There's literally a character in Thomas' stuff called 'Anxiety'. If anxiety attacks trigger you, why are you watching the Sanders Sides. General trigger warnings: occasional panic attacks (typically brief), suicidal thoughts (it's college), minimal swearing. Side-note! If I ever write anything you notice is wrong, whether content-wise, grammar-wise, or if you read a chapter and want me to add a trigger warning to it, please please please let me know. I won't yell at you so long as you don't yell at me, I swear.

When Ethan had a brand new day at school he thought it was going to be a normal day.. but when he saw a group of kids Bullying another kid, the feeling of being safe had changed.

in a world where your moods are visible above your head, displayed through pictures and icons, it's impossible to hide your true feelings. however dan howell seems to be lacking this. labelled as an emotionless freak, dan is outcasted because his moods are never visible. that is, until an endlessly happy boy named phil wonders why.
