The Staten Island High School Marching Band got major funding cuts the past year. With no help from anyone, it's up to them to keep the program from shutting down.
Drum Major John Laurens decides the best thing for them is to outplay every other band in New York and bring pride to their school through football games, competitions, social media, and parades. But with so many broken instruments, tattered flags, and new freshmen, it seems like an impossible task to complete.
He just hopes they can pull it together.
{ Disclaimer!
I live in Alabama. My school is medium-sized and I'm not sure what schools in NYC are like, despite research on it. I'm estimating they're packed; about 1,000 kids per school. Usually, where I live, 1/8 of the kids are in their band. That's 188.
So... The schools in this particular story shall be fictional. Any names of actual schools are a total coincidence, and if any New Yorkers actually know anything, PLEASE PM or comment so I can adjust numbers.
Enjoy the story! }

Come Back Home (Lams Celeb AU)
John Laurens is the ultimate celebrity. He's charming, he gives to charities, he's crazy talented, and on top of that, the whole world loves him. Well, the whole world except for his childhood best friend, of course. When John had left to become a superstar, he left Alexander Hamilton behind. They had lost contact after a couple years as John got sucked up into the world of being famous. So what happens when John, the singer devoted to his music, visits Alex, the scorned man who no longer enjoys his company, after ten years? ~.~ This story is inspired by Anthony Ramos's album, The Good and The Bad, and each title uses the song titles. (This book was written before the news of the breakup, and I was too far to turn back and change the story) I do NOT own the characters in this story, they all belong to history and Lin Manuel Miranda's musical, Hamilton. Cover Art creds @annanymous_ MATURE for strong language, and talk about sex (skips past actual sex scenes). WARNING: Most replies from me will be ominous, beware of the smiley face :) Unless otherwise specified, story will be told in John's POV.Complete

Piano Keys [Discontinued]
[Discontinued] Unbeknownst to all of his friends, a popular Youtuber, Technoblade, moves to Florida. He doesn't believe he is anywhere near one of his fellow Youtubers, Dream, who also lives in Florida, and decides not to tell even him. One day, Technoblade here's the alluring sound of a lone piano in the distance, coming from a store just a few places down at the mall. The music entrances him enough for him to find himself signing up for lessons at the local musical building that gives them. His instructor seems to make everything about Technoblade's idea of playing go wrong, as he becomes quickly distracted more be the teacher than the music. Soon enough, it seems as though the teacher knows a little something that changes everything. Hello there! This is one of my very first stories, and I'm super excited to finally share this idea I've had. I've read so many fanfics from the MCYT community and hope everyone likes my own attempt at one. Anyways, I'm a decently young writer I guess, and definitely clean. But, I can put all this in Trigger Warnings, which I will do right here: Trigger Warnings or Reliefs -No sexual explicitness, content, or even hints -Kissing is a yes -A few foul words will be tossed in Anyways, here is that thing that all content creators write. About not shipping them and just their personas? Yep, that's what this is. I always hate rereading the same thing over and over, so I don't want to write it for people to read. So basically, I do only ship their avatars essentially, and will take it down if they become explicitly uncomfortable with it. I know Technoblade already addressed shipping, and he said something like 'shipping me with my friends is kind of cringe'. I don't know whether that means not to, but if he reveals it does, then of course, this goes down immediately. (Oh, and also, I'll mostly be using their YT names instead of actual because, well, you know. Except some cases.)Complete
