Kathryn Clark has been in a relationship with her childhood friend Syd Barrett for over three years. Everything seemed just about perfect- their relationship, Syd's band called Pink Floyd, the way life was just going in general.
But when Syd takes an overdose of LSD, he develops severe schizophrenia and begins to go off the deep end.
What is Kathryn supposed to do now? leave him? stay behind and care for him? or maybe stay with and support his band as they look for a new guitarist?
Whatever the answer is, it'll change her life forever.

I'm Fine || l.s. ✓
I wrote this when I was like 15 so it's awful and horribly inaccurate regarding lots of stuff and the characters are really, really annoying. If it didn't have so many reads and votes and that I would delete it. PLEASE, if you want something with better writing and still full of angst, look at my other fics instead (Tempest is my fav) // Harry is upset, he just wants someone to care about him but he keeps pushing everyone away. Despite being packed tightly in a tour bus with the rest of the band, he still manages to avoid them. The boys begin to worry, Louis especially. // PSSST, i think my other stories are better!

Euterpe And Her First Last And Always Volume I: (Re)Beginnings
A soap opera that spans 40 years with multiple character perspectives. Maisie Wells is only 19 when she's swept up into the world of rock and roll when she meets young Roger Waters in a park in Cambridge, but much to the chagrin (maybe?) of the jaded, troubled bassist is charmed instead by his best friend Syd Barrett, a sweet, innocent, but unfortunately very sick boy. After a bizarre and sad set of circumstances leaves Syd and Maisie torn apart, she moves on, eventually...with shy, guarded, stable David Gilmour. This is their story: the story of a muse and her three artists, three (maybe?) love stories that leave four people tied for life (and after). Our story starts in 2006 at Syd's funeral, where three are reunited for the first time in years. P.S. - I have sprinkled references to songs and r/pinkfloydcirclejerk memes throughout this piece in the hopes that my friends there will give me a little bit of a cult following. Enjoy, guys!Complete
