"The problem is: we're both bottoms, dude. Fuck, how is this gonna work?"
Andy Biersack, renowned emo and lead singer of Black Veil Brides, parts the seas in a homicidal rage and stumbles onto the shores of Stardew Valley, where he meets resident emo, Sebastian. Quickly, Andy's confidence dwindles when he notices the cameras are finally off him, realizing his emo-image is just that: an image. Taken by Sebastian's genuine angst and hatred of all white articles of clothing, he makes the decision to learn from him while simultaneously, Sebastian encourages him to just be himself--without realizing who he's asking. All the while, Elliot, writing prodigy and Fabio look-alike, observes on the beaches of Stardew Valley from his humble shack, taking notes on their almost immediate sexual intercourse, convinced Andy is the second coming of Christ. On their journey of self discovery and identity, they meet lots of other emos along the way, such as Jeffree Star and Dahvie Vanity. Falling in love with one another is never easy, but nothing's easier for the two than to fall in love with their own egos. Navigating through their own worlds, they figure out this emo thing--one step at a time.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
