Leave The City - A Trench Story (tøp)
Tyler and I have grown up in DEMA, talking through the wired fence for years, sneaking visits with eachother to talk about books, and share music that we have discovered. Now, after many months of plotting, we've finally attempted our escape. Both of us thought that once we were out of DEMA, we would be out of it for good, but little did know that along the way, we would uncover many hidden secrets about the origins of DEMA, as well as its citizens. We also didn't realize how many others had been wanting to escape as well, which caused them to work together to form a group of rebel escapees, the Banditos.Complete

Øverturning the lies (a twenty one pilots fanfiction)
Tyler is alone in the city of Dema. He can't remember who he was before then. All he knows now is trying to survive in this world. He sees others around him who are struggling too, and he wants to help them. But he can't. He can't even seem to help himself. He keeps thinking he sees his best fren, Josh, but he's still not sure if its really him or if the city has finally driven him insane. His life now is nothing but fear. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fix that. Maybe there is...but maybe there isn't. The thing is, he's too afraid to find out. Fear is how they control you. The bishops. They see everything you do. And they want to destroy you. So don't bother fighting. They'll come for you. They'll come for you when you least expect it. Possible trigger warning: self-harm/suicide. This story is about overcoming that and overcoming depression. But it might be triggering to some readers. I'll add trigger warnings to those parts.

Tyler/ Blurryface X reader Disclaimer: in this story, the reader's name is Violet. You can change it or pretend it says your name. I am just picking a name since I prefer to write characters with a name and not (y/n) thanks everyone!❤️ Also, time and time-lines are important in this story like in real life. I tried to make this story as realistic as possible. Also! Some strong language! Era= Trench, 2019+ Synopsis: You live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and your favourite band is on tour and plays a show in your local arena.

The High Road
Dema/Trench Lore, diving into everyday life in Trench with the Banditos, on their path to free Dema. Lita and the rest of the Banditos are led by the Torchbearer, Josh. Their mission is to liberate Dema from the Bishops, but they first need to figure out how to expand the rebellion within the city. In the meantime, the Banditos task themselves with helping more citizens escape the city and adjust to life in Trench. When mysterious letters are discovered throughout the city, some citizens begin to question their commitment to Vialism, and even the Bishops themselves. Nobody knows who this 'Clancy' person is, but the Torchbearer knows how valuable such an ally could be to their cause, and he's determined to get them on their side. *Authors note* This story follows the canon timeline as closely as I'm able, starting from just before HeavyDirtySoul and ending after the events of Levitate. If all goes well, there will be a sequel that delves into what the Banditos do during the SAI era and beyond. I've based several of my characters on real-life people, as well as borrowed some names. Lita is based on Debby Ryan, and Hadley is based on Jenna Joseph. I changed their names for creative reasons, but I didn't want there to be any confusion about who they are meant to be. THIS IS NOT JOSHLER CONTENT. Nothing against it, I'm just more interested in exploring this world the boys have created! Please enjoy ❤️ Started in October 2025
