A constraint dichotomy of real-life as "playing dead" versus the absolute manic chaos of mentally ill teenagers spiraling together as madness overtakes them both.
Excerpt:
"What're you looking at, Coke Zero?" Eleonora accused from across the street, watching as her words roused the black-haired teen out of his mindless daze. She didn't really care about the answer, and she didn't mind the absent staring.
And he hadn't been staring at her, really. She was a curious object his eyes had landed on, but his mind was on another planet, never on her. He was brought back to earth by her playful statement, and Eleonora watched as his distant expression turned miserable and he muttered, "Bitch," before loudly pouring the plethora of empty soda cans into the recycling bin and slamming the top shut.
A/N: This is, I guess, a Marianas Trench Fanfiction. It's my own story and I'd like to edit it to eventually rewrite it t get published as an original work, but for now, I guess this is a High School AU of sorts for Josh Ramsay and the members of Marianas Trench. Because this is being written with the idea of a novel and not just a fanfiction, It'll probably be close to 15 really long chapters.

"Who are you?" she retorted. "More importantly- why did you try to stop us from leaving? We had the crystal- we could've left, if you hadn't broken the submarine." she sounded furious- and no wonder; she wanted to get back and get the Urbanshade to turn her back to normal before she had her child. He narrowed his eyes at her. "You have no idea what they could've done with that," he scowled. "They would never let you leave. They were trying to use you." "How do you know?" She snapped back.

In the Moonlight [Completed]
"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why? Did you want me to?" I Regained my composure as I moved even closer, our lips nearly touching. ~~~ Alexa is a normal girl who just wanted to get through school without any trouble.

The Last In Line | Eddie Munson X Reader
A year ago, the world ripped itself apart, and took him with it. Since then, the cracks in the earth have only grown, splitting streets, poisoning the air, and leaving the last stragglers to rot in the ruins. She's not here to hide. She's not here to hope. She's here to fight. Because the bastard that started this is still out there, and she intends to end him. And when the sky turns black and the ground starts shaking again, she won't run. She'll aim for the heart and make damn sure that monster chokes on what's left of this town. Because some faces haunt you, even when you know you'll never see them again. ------------------------------ PLEASE READ: This story was started in 2023. Everything is written, but the end is unedited, and I will not release the last stretch until it's all finished.

This story is my take on the end if Eddie (and you) was the main character. ----------WARNINGS---------- This story is meant for 18+ audiences only. This is a female!reader insert book. This book does use "(Y/n)," but I tried to use it as sparingly as possible. Mentions of smoking, being able to fit hair in a scrunchy, and two mentions of a haircut. --------Trigger Warnings-------- One instance of animal harm(chapter 1). A lot of blood. Heavy profanity. Character death. A lot of gun talk and use. Horror/Gore/Vomit imagery (intense at times). Mentions of drug use. Mature topics. Implications of poor mental health. Spoilers for Season 4 of Stranger Things. Non-canon endings for the series. ------------------------------ This is an Eddie Munson fanfic. The year is 1987.

"Alright.. since that made you feel uncomfortable.. do you have a boyfriend?" "Um.. that made me feel more uncomfortable, Aiden.." I told him. "Sorry, but I wanted to know before I got to know you a little. I don't want any competition. Because you're a really pretty girl, you know that, Char?" he said to me. That made me blushed a little.

"That's a terrible excuse Lou" he said with a cold look in his eyes. I took a step back and he took a step forward towering over my small frame. "B-but it's the truth" I said with my voice shaky. He place his hand under my chin making me look into his eyes "No..no..no..you could've called me when your class was over but instead you went and hang out with your friends."

Stupid! (Piers Nivans x Reader)
#1 in "nivans" on 6/20/2019 "Good?" He huffed. "You call this 'good'? Do you have any idea how much of a trouble it was to get you to safety?

Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever.
