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.

Emerson Augustine is an aimless university student who followed her best friend to Ohio State. She is unsure of her major, her relationship, and her future. 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.
