"There will be Three, kin of your kin, who hold the power to reshape the world and defy the shadows."

Only Skeletons Remain follows the intertwined stories of three generations bound by the oppressive grip of DEMA, a city of neon lights and despair.

Miguel, a Bandito rebel and former Lorekeeper, struggles to free his family from the tyrannical rule of the DEMA High Council. After escaping and discovering his father's grave in the Neon Graveyard, he becomes embroiled in a war for survival, ultimately forced to lead the Banditos after the death of their leader. Haunted by his transformation into a bishop, Miguel's journey is one of sacrifice, rebellion, and self-redemption as he battles to dismantle DEMA's control over their world.

Years later, Javier took on the role of Lorekeeper, tasked with preserving the history of those lost to DEMA's cruelty. His path leads him into the secrets of the council and the power of forbidden knowledge, putting him at odds with the rulers of the city. His quiet defiance and cunning stewardship of the Lorekeeper's archives laid the foundation for the Banditos' future uprising.

Years later, Harper, Javier's daughter, embarks on her own journey to break free from DEMA's brainwashing, leading her siblings and allies in a fight for freedom. Corrupted and manipulated by the High Council, she must face the darkness within and around her as she unravels the mysteries of her family's past and takes up the torch to destroy DEMA once and for all.

DISCLAIMER: this is purely fictional, and I made this just for fun! All of it is made up! :)

Write for Me: a Tyler Joseph fan fic by SailorLuna_

Modern day love story of Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots. When Mia, an author on book tour, meets Debby Ryan, the two instantly click and a friendship ensues, leading to a chance meeting with Tyler - and potentially more. CW: sexual content, curse words. Note: I mean no disrespect to his current relationship! This is simply fantasy and no harm is meant. His family seem beautiful and I wish them every happiness.

Leave The City - A Trench Story (tøp) by WrittenDreams14

Tyler and I have grown up in DEMA, talking through the wired fence for years, sneaking visits with eachother to talk about books, and share music that we have discovered. Now, after many months of plotting, we've finally attempted our escape. Both of us thought that once we were out of DEMA, we would be out of it for good, but little did know that along the way, we would uncover many hidden secrets about the origins of DEMA, as well as its citizens. We also didn't realize how many others had been wanting to escape as well, which caused them to work together to form a group of rebel escapees, the Banditos.

THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD OUT THERE - Clancybearer by The_t0rchbearer

"They're trying to weaponize you and I" - Never Take It, twenty one pilots |-/ Clancy hasn't left Dema in four years. Is it possible to forget in four years? Probably. This time, everything is different. Color. Dema has been known as a gray, gloomy city. Not colorful or cheerful. Why was this choice made? Because Clancy is just another pawn in their game. |-/ SCALED AND ICY ERA !! Torch,, exists in this . ok ? ok . (Torch is Josh in this) |-/ minor tws unless otherwise stated.

the Quiet | A Tyler Joseph Fanfiction by shewatchedthesunset

The tour was supposed to be noise-screaming crowds, humming lights, chaos that left no room for feeling. She knew how to handle that. She'd built her life on moving fast, staying useful, never getting too close. But he was different. The frontman with heavy eyes and stained hands. The one who disappeared behind stage doors only to sing like he was bleeding. He didn't talk much. Didn't need to. His presence was gravity. And without meaning to, she fell into orbit. Behind curtains and closed doors, under low lights and high tension, something raw begins to bloom. A connection. A craving. A slow, inevitable unraveling. But the road doesn't stop moving. And neither does the weight he carries. A slow-burn, soul-aching, backstage romance about finding stillness in someone else's storm. For fans of quiet obsession, late-night vulnerability, and love that feels like a secret whispered in the dark. CW: This story explores mental health, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma. It includes explicit content (smut), emotionally intense themes, and is intended for mature readers. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. It is inspired by a fictional version of Twenty One Pilots frontman Tyler Joseph. All characters, relationships, and events have been created or adapted for storytelling purposes and do not reflect real-life individuals or situations.
