// A W2S Fanfic //

If it is true that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results", then Alex had been living in insanity her whole life. 

Alex feels like she as been going through the motions for way too long. Like she had been stuck living as a supporting character in someone else's story-- often playing roles like the less attractive friend, the older hardly-present sister, the annoying younger sister, the girl you go out with before you meet the love of your life. Feeling like an extra in your own life is not fun, but she realized that there is only one constant in her predicament and it was her. 

If anything was going to change for her, she would have to change. So she made a resolution: to do the things she won't normally do.

It was when she started on this quest to push herself to do things she normally wouldn't that she meets Harry. An awkward chance encounter that quickly grew into an undeniable attraction. And Harry, with his outrageous stunts and youtube popularity, that something Alex would've never thought she'd go for.

Cover art is drawn by me so I can take credit for that lol. Practically me and my friends role play a lot and these particular shit heads happen to exist in the Harry Potter universe. Now. Not that I don't love that, but this au gives me an opportunity to write about me and my friends OC's with less trauma. (Yes that means changing the backstories sorry) Because we seem to be addicted to traumatizing our OC's. Basically this is what would happen if our beans went to a normal school in the middle of somewhere using the Canadian schooling system cause I am uneducated on all the other schooling systems. I will be using some British terms and some American terms. It's just going to be an entire mess, but we'll have fun! POV from: Nicola is a closeted lesbian brought up that she cannot show any weakness and that she has to be 'perfect'. Perfect in the eyes of her parents anyways. Noah is a closeted gay who has been pressured by his parents to just act 'normal.' Being autistic and having social anxiety makes that difficult. Brad is your average popular guy. Captain of the football team (soccer) and pretty much every sport in existence. Death after death in his family has forced him into drug addiction. But he's fine. Right? Dahlia is your stunning no problem partying alcoholic friend. Keeping her past under wraps is kinda her job. That and making sure her brother doesn't get arrested. Matthew may as well not know what the law is because I'm pretty sure he's broken at least half of the rules in there. Narrowly escaping Juvie several hundred times is the best he can do from his sister Dahlia murdering him. Side characters: Alice is a girl who has to be best at everything. She's the smartest girl in her year, but under the pressure of her family she snaps. Mason is kind of the school oddball. He isn't that smart and he's pretty nosy and weird. He's the kind of that is mainly described as a downright idiot. But he's okay when you get to know him.

[⚠️ This story runs parallel to Melodies on a Canvas. For full context, please read that book first or some key chapters. I will mention those key chapters inside the author note in the book.] ANNA LORRAINE - a focused and serious assistant manager at work. Poised. Composed. Locked in. She solves problems with a cool calm and quiet elegance. Outside of work? That's a whole different story. She's dramatic, chaotic, and will go to wild lengths for the people she loves. ALEX ANDERSON - a famous event planner who manages events without a single flaw, like he's just styling his hair. Cool, serious, a little arrogant. He doesn't tolerate mistakes-not at work. But off-duty? He does a full 180. He's sarcastic, chaotic, tells bad jokes, and lives to pass up funny comments. So what happens when the two of them are forced to work together? Both headstrong. Both allergic to errors. One refuses to take criticism. The other is smug and thrives on pushing buttons. One thing's for sure: There will be arguments. There will be banter. And there will absolutely be "I can't stand this person" energy. But when their past starts to catch up with them, will either of them be willing to get vulnerable? Follow the journey of Anna and Alex as they go from "I can't stand you" to "you're bearable enough to have a forever." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ STARTED:- 3 AUGUST 2025 END:- ?

"I said I love you," he repeats, this time softer, not as a yell anymore. A single tear streaks down the other boy's cheek when he shrugs his shoulders. "I wished you would." - Harry is a 16 year old boy who's always been the easiest target for everyone. After his friend Niall introduces him to Louis, few things go wrong. Harry falls in love with the wrong gender. Accepting it is one thing, but dealing with the consequences is another. And suddenly, he's 14 again, sitting on the cold bathroom floor. All he wishes for is to get what he deserves. Except he's not sure what that is yet. Louis, on the other hand, has recently gotten out of his first ever relationship and had to switch schools right away because of his ex. It surely had some impact on him, definitely not the best one ever. He struggles with his emotions. And maybe worries too much when it comes to money. But the second he lays his blue eyes on the curly haired boy, there's a spark of hope. That maybe someone might actually love him for him. Which is all he's ever wished for. Will their wishes come true? - 194,2k words. TW: Contains themes some readers might find difficult. Such as: - suicidal thoughts, - attempt of committing, - physical (+ sexual)/verbal abuse, - self-harm (remembered), - drugs, - alcohol, - blood, - death (remembered), - body shaming, - manipulation, - financial abuse/coercive control (remembered), - smut... Disclaimer: None of this is real. This is fiction. Nothing in this story is meant to imply anything, nor does this reflect the reality.
