not mine!!!!!!! creds go to SoloChaos on archive of our own just another copy of the forest fic make sure you have tissues

Hi! This is an alternative to the ending to the original forest fic, Stay In Place, Sing a Chorus. If you're here, I'm assuming you know that the forest fic originally had an incredibly sad ending. It caused me to sob. For four hours. This will begin when Tyler picks up Josh's lighter, alone in the treehouse. At the "///" the scene changes, and that is where my writing begins. Thank you all for reading! ❤ (Disclaimer; the forest fic is NOT my work! The only thing that is mine is what I wrote here, my seperate ending. This is not canon to the original, but you can use it to help you feel a bit better about the originals ending. Thank you!)

childhood friends reunited at the start of the summer before their senior year. "you laugh and you dance in the wind. and you sway and you hug and you kiss. but there's darkness behind those eyes, even when you smile. oh, summer child." #1 in joshler 1/4/23 + 11/14/24

Tyler moved away from everything. His friends, home, school, everything. There's nothing about this new place that could make him like it, or so he thought.

sequel to my first book 'mute' go find it on my page :)

"why don't you talk?" tyler scribbled an answer in the notebook. 'i don't have anything important to say'

Tyler needs some extra cash, Josh is willing to give it to him. What's so wrong with that? •fem!tyler

"nothing's ever really quiet, you were just too stubborn to pretend. it's part of me. wouldn't you believe it's nothing?" (keep the rain by searows) - tyler is stressed out, for lack of better wording. josh is... well, josh is getting married. tyler just wishes it was to himself. takes place mostly during the trench era/bandito tour. #1 in joshler - 2/6/25

tyler is done. he's hurt, broken, and needs someone to help. // josh regrets his decisions, but he doesn't think there was a better way. // trigger warning for self-harm and suicidal thoughts, so be careful!
