The walls of Dema are high, and its gates are sealed. For those trapped within, there is no way out-no voice but the Bishops', no future but their design. Clancy once believed that too, until a cryptic letter led him to a group of rebels known only as the Banditos, hidden deep in the Lowlands.
Now, with the enigmatic Torchbearer by his side, Clancy must escape the city that has stolen so much from him. But the path to freedom is treacherous, and danger lurks in the shadows. Not every Bandito can be trusted. Not every escape leads to safety. And some secrets were never meant to be shared.

He hasn't been able to speak with them yet, but he gets closer with each escape. I'm going to ask him to take me the next time he goes. I want to see these people for myself.

REBEL CLOTHES ✓
There's a world where no one is unhappy. Life is good, life is silence. Life is inside the walls of Dema. At least, that's what the Bishops say. That's what Tyler believes, living life in red and black, until a boy with bright yellow hair starts to appear in his dreams. « joshler » #6 in joshler tag 15 Nov, 2018Complete
Øverturning the lies (a twenty one pilots fanfiction)
Tyler is alone in the city of Dema. He can't remember who he was before then. All he knows now is trying to survive in this world. He sees others around him who are struggling too, and he wants to help them. But he can't. He can't even seem to help himself. He keeps thinking he sees his best fren, Josh, but he's still not sure if its really him or if the city has finally driven him insane. His life now is nothing but fear. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fix that. Maybe there is...but maybe there isn't. The thing is, he's too afraid to find out. Fear is how they control you. The bishops. They see everything you do. And they want to destroy you. So don't bother fighting. They'll come for you. They'll come for you when you least expect it. Possible trigger warning: self-harm/suicide. This story is about overcoming that and overcoming depression. But it might be triggering to some readers. I'll add trigger warnings to those parts.
