I Fancy The Singer (Book 1 // Joshler)
One band: twenty one pilots, two musicians: a drummer and a singer, one bond: a friendship, one accident: and so it all began. Tyler and Josh are best friends. They're in a band together, performing is in their blood. That all ends way too soon when Tyler has an accident and gets amnesia; barely remembering his own name, he forgets everyone, including his lifetime best friend: Josh. Despite not being remembered, Josh takes care of him and assures his well being all throughout his recovery while trying to bring his memories back. He walks around the house blasting twenty one pilots and singing along while casually putting on their favourite tv series and/or anything that may trigger his memories. Josh's ultimate goal is to gain his friendship back with Tyler, even if that means jeopardizing everything, including their music career. This journey brings him something he never expected, except only in his wildest dreams. |-/ [Cover Credit: inl0veanddeath on deviantart.com]Complete
Anathema
Anathema: someone or something that one vehemently dislikes, an abhorrence, abomination, accursed. Someone or something consigned to damnation or destruction. Platonic Joshler Life can get pretty difficult when your only two friends are imaginary, and it's even harder when they're not exactly the most positive people on the planet. Tyler is used to that, though, and he's used to pretending they're not there when other people are around. It wasn't so bad, at first, but now that one of them is bent on getting rid of the other, he's having his doubts. Besides, there's another boy now - though Tyler's not even sure if he's real or not, either. ... *TRIGGER WARNING FOR ALMOST EVERY CHAPTER* Depression, suicide, self-harm, etc. Since they're so frequent, I will not be writing warnings during the story. Read at your own risk. Stay safe. #4 in imaginaryfriend #5 in blurryface Started: Nov. 15th 2018 Completed: April 19th 2019Complete
