Aimee had always been a citizen of Dema, trapped beneath the heavy veil of Vialism like everyone else. Though she never truly believed in the religion that dictated every aspect of their lives, defiance wasn't an option. In Dema, you either followed the rules or faced the consequences. So, like the rest, she kept her head down and went along with it-until everything changed.
Whispers of rebellion stirred through the streets when Clancy, the legendary figure who had escaped Dema's grip time and again, began organizing an uprising. For the first time, Aimee saw a chance to fight back, to break free from the chains of Vialism and the Bishops' oppressive rule.

The High Road
Dema/Trench Lore, diving into everyday life in Trench with the Banditos, on their path to free Dema. Lita and the rest of the Banditos are led by the Torchbearer, Josh. Their mission is to liberate Dema from the Bishops, but they first need to figure out how to expand the rebellion within the city. In the meantime, the Banditos task themselves with helping more citizens escape the city and adjust to life in Trench. When mysterious letters are discovered throughout the city, some citizens begin to question their commitment to Vialism, and even the Bishops themselves. Nobody knows who this 'Clancy' person is, but the Torchbearer knows how valuable such an ally could be to their cause, and he's determined to get them on their side. *Authors note* This story follows the canon timeline as closely as I'm able, starting from just before HeavyDirtySoul and ending after the events of Levitate. If all goes well, there will be a sequel that delves into what the Banditos do during the SAI era and beyond. I've based several of my characters on real-life people, as well as borrowed some names. Lita is based on Debby Ryan, and Hadley is based on Jenna Joseph. I changed their names for creative reasons, but I didn't want there to be any confusion about who they are meant to be. THIS IS NOT JOSHLER CONTENT. Nothing against it, I'm just more interested in exploring this world the boys have created! Please enjoy ❤️ Started in October 2025

TRENCH
Clancy, a young poet with a mysterious power, is trapped inside Dema, a walled city ruled by power-hungry bishops and a high-jacked religion. He has heard tales of a group who live outside the walls. They call for him in his dreams, but everywhere he goes, the bishops are watching. Clancy is a citizen, escapee, and an exception to every rule. Welcome to Trench. AUTHTORS NOTE! Hey friends! it's me, the author! This is a story that is LOOSLY based around some of the lore from TØP. TØP lore is the main inspiration behind this story, but I also pull from a lot of other different things and bring a lot of my own interests and passions into the mix! This is just a passion project for me, so I can practice writing and hopefully write a novel someday, but if you come across this, I'd recommend giving it a chance! Enjoy your read ||-//Complete

Leave The City - A Trench Story (tøp)
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.Complete
