Julien Baker and Abigail Brooks have been a happy couple for years now. They bought an apartment together, and adopted their dog, Dorothea (named after the Taylor Swift song, of course). They're that couple that the media obsesses over, given that Julien is a popular music artist, and the couple that's just always doing well. They've had their ups and down individually, but together they are unstoppable.
So what happens when they are stopped, by an unidentified source that's causing Abigail's health to falter?

~some things you just can't speak about.~ // hazel eloise finley's old english and frankly quite pretentious name was never released to public whenever she survived the shooting at her high school. not even after the paramedics took her away with a severe bullet wound to the calf or even whenever she drug and hopped herself outside for medical attention afterwards either. only known as the jane doe that survived a school shooting, and the years of physical therapy, permanent nerve damage and chronic pain proved to be the least of her worries. it took years of therapy, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for her to even feel ready to start college after high school. and whenever she did, much like her name, she was determined to bury it. despite the trauma she went on to become one of the most gifted music majors enrolled at the prestigious university in Nashville, TN, an honors student, a residential advisor, and slowly making her way to the student council someday. Though just coming into her sophomore year, a heavily tattooed literature major transfers into the room across from hers that throws everything off track. Julien Rose Baker infuriated her at first, not only because her friends and roommates were loud and obnoxious and stayed up all hours of the night playing loud music and probably doing anything but studying, but because she was better than her, in every sense of the word. sight reading music without missing a beat or a note, shredding her guitar in nearly every practice room, leaving most professors in awe of her vocal range, and not to mention the writings of hers read during some of the english classes the two shared. it was jealousy at its finest. though whenever an unexpected turn of events leaves hazel almost having no choice but to be vulnerable, something else besides avoiding her dorm neighbor might turn into something else. ~ TW for gun violence, ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc...

~vessel of brightness, come make me blind~ - Lydia Noelle was a violin virtuoso. A friend of Lucy's from a few tours in the past, though she neglected to tell her about the massive venue upgrade whenever she did enlist her help to fill in some of the violin parts for Boygenius's latest tour. The first time she had seen Julien Baker was Brooklyn Steel 2018, where she had half the amount of tattoos and and over double the level of nihilistic traits. The last time she had seen Julien Baker she had left her crying on New Years. Now Julien is fresh out of a three year relationship with love being the very last thing on her mind. She swore off of it whenever she hit a tipping point with her addiction, not to mention a shittily drawn hand of mental health issues as well. The only thing she needed to focus on was her recovery. Recovery and music. What if Lydia is both of those things wrapped into one though? ~ A hallmark-esque second chance romance told in a combo of flashbacks and present day.
