Scarian theater AU!
I'm not gonna mark this as mature, but it'll definitely be PG-13
No hybrids or nothin. Everyone's human.
I genuinely thought of this idea a few hours ago

CREDITS TO MY BEST FRIEND WHO BASICALLY HELPED ME PRODUCE HALF THE PLOT
Grian is a trans theater kid who just wants to do what he loves: acting, singing, and playing parts in his high school musicals every year. His high school is very well versed in the musical theater and performing arts community, and word on the street is next year there might be a very valuable scholarship opportunity.
He's always liked to be in the spotlight, but he's never been one for being the main character, unlike his rival Scar. Scar is the picture perfect replication of the Evil Tenor: always gets the main spot, always gets the most show time, and always hits his notes right. If anything, he riffs too much, and it makes Grian cringe.
They hate each other, but Grian puts up with him, knowing an altercation could get them both kicked out of the program. Scar, however, doesn't care about the effects of his actions on others. He's too self-absorbed and certain in his acting skills to be afraid of getting kicked out. Not to mention, for someone in the queer community, he couldn't be less supportive. Straight and homophobic, he makes fun of all the other kids in the program.
But what happens when Grian decides to take a new turn and be a tech hand for next year's musical, and he and Scar are forced to spend every day together at practice after school? Will the flame of hatred between them only grow, burning down their chances of getting what they want, or will it force both of them to change perspective... and maybe even enjoy each other's company?
