Manicstreetpreachers Stories

Richey is days from vanishing. Nadia, half-forgotten by time, lands one breath too early, armed with a machine that can bend timelines but not undo trauma. She finds him. Not gone, not dead. just broken. What follows is a quiet, furious battle against inevitability: against myth, against James, against love's ruinous echo. As memory unravels and obsession calcifies, they both realize that survival isn't about going back - it's about choosing what not to become. Time fractures. Bridges burn. And not everyone gets out clean. TW: Self harm (cutting) / explicit sex scenes.

When a young group of misfits start the new term at Bamic Street High School, none of them are prepared for emo-tacular adventures that await them. From a headmaster with an unusual patio obsession, to the P.E. teacher and his jingle-jangle jewellery, to Mr Anderson the English teacher with his greasy hair and hook nose, not everyone is as they seem in this place. But what secrets will the new arrivals discover buried beneath the patio...? WARNING: THIS FIC IS LOADED WITH REFERENCES THAT YOU'LL ONLY GET IF YOU'RE A TRUE GOTH

They laugh. They remember. Then one of Richey's old lines walks in and sits down at the table.

She is running out of jumps. Richey is already unraveling. Carving the myth into his own skin. She's not back. She's chasing him through time. One year too late. One wound too early. This is the story of the myth before it ossified, and the girl who tried to reach him before history did.

A wedding. A girl brought to distract. A boy who loved too much. And another who couldn't love enough. In the thick of a Cardiff summer, love slips sideways, through cigarettes, sharp words, a greenhouse and the silences between them. No one leaves untouched.

Young, beautiful scum pissed of the world

What it says in the title

10.

You're a member of an up and coming band, but are currently unsigned. Flyers begin to appear for a new competition, the Battle of the Bands, with the chance to be signed to a label. Nothing can get in your way, until you fall in love with a member of the rival band, Manic Street Preachers. Will you win the competition and his heart?

This work explores themes of mental health and social injustice through fictionalized introspection. It aims to express solidarity and not speak on behalf of any group. If any phrasing feels off, I welcome gentle conversation The date, names, and personalities are part of a fictional scenario. This fanfiction is inspired by the biography of R.E. The only character who stays close to the real person is Richey. I personally believe in a branch of String Theory (and quantum physics) known as the Many-Worlds Interpretation. It suggests that every time you make a choice, the Universe splits. All of these versions exist simultaneously, like pages in a book. You can only read one at a time, but in the endless library, every version of your life is already written. This is the story where he says, "I am still here", for everyone who has ever wanted to vanish-even once.

a longing for liberty. a collection of quotes and lyrics from songs and etc that i find very true to meaning and inspirational or just generally enjoy ✰

Richey joins the band. Loses his virginity to a stranger. Starves a little. Writes a song that feels too honest to sing. (they never performed it live) This is how condemned to rock and roll gets written: in gig toilets, travelodges, and the space between wanting to disappear and needing to be seen. A love letter to image, myth, and the worst years of his life.

Time fractures. A girl arrives in 1991 Cardiff claiming to be from the future. She meets the Manic Street Preachers before the myth is written. before the loss, before the rot. Richey falls. James fights. Nicky remembers. And she disappears. This is the beginning. The first spark. The version of history they were never meant to keep. For the next parts: Part 2: From Despair to Where? Part 3: Everything Must Go
