You're a Bandito. Tyler is in Dema. Escape is imminent. <><><><><><> •i created this world to feel some control destroy it if i want• <><><><><><> < written by chalupa, edited by jay >

"The fear and pain shall not be elements that stop us, but what feeds us to persevere." Clancy is a Scribe within the walled city of Dema, a silent, gray place where everything is performed with efficiency and repetition. While he is proud to represent his district amongst the Scribes and relay the history of Dema for future generations, he begins to feel that there is something missing within the city that can only be found outside the walls. Risking everything to escape the perimeters, Clancy realizes that the ravines of Trench can be a dangerous place, especially with the canyon's labyrinthine pathways and the Bishops at his heels. Lianna Higgins and her odd trio of outcasts have been scouting Trench for the better part of three years, hoping to one day liberate the people of Dema themselves, even if it means risking their lives. When Lianna stumbles upon an escapee from Dema fate brings them and Lianna's crew to the Banditos, who themselves are devoted to usurping the Bishops and bring the walls of the gray city down. Lianna doesn't enjoy the Banditos' company - as a matter of fact, she despises their company - but she doesn't have anywhere else to go and the life of a timid young Scribe now rests like a heavy weight on her shoulders. The trial ahead will be hard and neither Clancy nor Lianna are eager to weigh the odds - but joining the Banditos and severing ties with Dema may be the only way for them to survive. "East is up." *A fanfic based largely on my own theories about the world of Trench as well as established information. Cover art by me.*

The story before Trench, the character of Tyler comes to light.

Tyler x Josh fanfic.

Welcome To Trench. Stay low, Stay alive. (WARNING: The Following Story(?) Contains A Tad Bit of Violence, And Themes Of Mental Health, Self-Harm, Implications of Death, Death Itself, Suicidal Imagery, And Drag Paths All Over The Gravel Surface. The Book Does NOT Glorify These Themes, And Makes A Serious Attempt To Tackle Them Seriously, And Humanly (Not Humanely, But Humanly In The Realistic Sense) at The Same Time. Prepare For Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms. If These Are Triggering Subjects Regardless, Then This Book May Not Be For Your Benefit. Stay Alive For Me.) (THE ART: Covers (Book cover, part 1-3) are edited together from photos of Twenty One Pilots, and are owned by the band. The illustrations are inspired by their music, and the art of John Rettstat.) This book is a fan work made purely out of love for the source material and consists of three parts and 26 chapters (Not including the epilogue. The reason the book is "ongoing" is because I am in the process of editing the chapters still ;-;) I wrote this book because I really liked the lore and story the band (Twenty One Pilots, duh) wrote, and wanted to write a sort of interpretation of it, a semi-ambiguous conclusion as to what I believe to be head canon (if you have a different head canon, please share it! I love to read other people's variants and interpretations of the story, and it's part of what inspired me and the creative decisions of this fan-fic-book!) The book uses lyrics of songs, though I try to give their placement meaning to enhance the story, and not just feel like a copy-and-paste. This is not meant to be a final definitive canon, and serves as a compilation of events tied together by a story based on dmaorg, the Clancy letters, and who woulda guessed, fanfiction (For those wondering, no, this is not a Joshler story, but I erm... respect those clikkies out there that believe in the hype. No, but seriously, don't believe the hype, there's a whole song about it. It's just a joke. Right?)
