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
small mouth
completed √ tyler joseph was a quiet kid. he was stressed out most of the time, stuck battling the little civil war going on in his head. at least one part of the day, he felt anxiety creep into him and he went to the restroom to let his emotions out. he had nightmares almost every night, and that certainly didn't help. but what tyler didn't know.. is that he has another side. his nightmares were about 'blurryface'. now, blurryface is a silly name, but it has deep meaning behind it. - every chapter will end with "small mouth" (except for the last one). - trigger warnings - lowercase intended - chapters aren't that longComplete

But mostly if her life is worth anything at all, including the hope you have to have to make things better. Tyler Joseph is a small musician, working on a new album and trying to make music into a career, since he dropped out of college. Though his band is gaining some local popularity, he's still working through the local music circuits and trying to carve out a path for him and his band. When his friend Emerson shows up on his doorstep, injured and terrified, he does what he knows he has to do, help. The friendship the two hold gets tested but also deepens in ways the two could never image as the pitfalls of friendship, love, and one's past collide, changing everything for the two anxious kids and their friends.
