(Side note, the following events aren't exactly what happened, but I tried to keep the facts straight so just bear with me, thanks!)
It's the late 70's and punk is on the rise. So what better way to spread the word than a tour? More specifically, the Anarchy Tour. Ari Up, lead singer of the Slits, is a free spirited, care free, happy 15 year old. She honestly could care less what people think of her. She has her friends and pride by her side. Whatever could possibly ever make her feel so uncomfortable, confused and all out of whack? In the words of everyone (at least in my story):
"...GODDAMMIT JOE!"
And there you have it. Get ready for a little rock, a little roll, drugs, some unnecessary sexual tension, romance , lies, betrayal, some good music, and some sure as fine hell raising!

problematic. | RONNIE RADKE X READER (18+)
When (Y/N) (L/N) decides to post an expose on the problematic Ronnie Radke to her TikTok, it's no surprise that he doesn't take it too well. He retaliates in an equally offensive video about her, which marks the beginning of an ongoing social media feud between the two. (Y/N) would love nothing more than to keep this animosity online. But after finding herself at a Falling in Reverse concert to keep a friend company, Ronnie calls her out in-person, humiliating her in front of thousands of fans. This means war, and (Y/N) doesn't intend to back down. But when his drummer leaves him high and dry, (Y/N) is the only person Ronnie can think of that can offer musical assistance. Not forever, of course. Just temporarily, until he finds a new drummer. So, he makes that call of shame and asks for help. (Y/N) accepts, but she won't make it easy for him. She's going to get revenge for the public humiliation she's repeatedly had to endure. Naturally, their work environment is tense because of this. But that type of tension isn't one that just goes away. It builds and builds until it eventually explodes, turning into something far more dangerous than just hatred.

Rebel Love Song //Andy Biersack\\
COMPLETED // I was off in my own world thinking about how hot Oli Sykes is when someone tapped my shoulder. I slowly looked up for my eyes to meet with these bright Icy blue eyes. God they were so perfect. And his hair. He had black emo hair. His face looked like it was shaped by gods. I started to blush just by looking at him. Damn I didn't give two flying shits about Oli after I looked at him. "Hey I'm Andy. Can I sit here?" He said that with his deep voice as he motioned to the seat next to me. "Uhh...sure I'm Nicky." I said kind of shyly as I turned down my music wanting to be able to hear his fine ass voice. \\ Nicky was always alone and getting picked on at school until Andy showed up. They immediately become close and Andy helps her cope with whatever the world throws at her.

sad, beautiful, tragic // j.r.b
~some things you just can't speak about.~ // hazel eloise finley's old english and frankly quite pretentious name was never released to public whenever she survived the shooting at her high school. not even after the paramedics took her away with a severe bullet wound to the calf or even whenever she drug and hopped herself outside for medical attention afterwards either. only known as the jane doe that survived a school shooting, and the years of physical therapy, permanent nerve damage and chronic pain proved to be the least of her worries. it took years of therapy, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for her to even feel ready to start college after high school. and whenever she did, much like her name, she was determined to bury it. despite the trauma she went on to become one of the most gifted music majors enrolled at the prestigious university in Nashville, TN, an honors student, a residential advisor, and slowly making her way to the student council someday. Though just coming into her sophomore year, a heavily tattooed literature major transfers into the room across from hers that throws everything off track. Julien Rose Baker infuriated her at first, not only because her friends and roommates were loud and obnoxious and stayed up all hours of the night playing loud music and probably doing anything but studying, but because she was better than her, in every sense of the word. sight reading music without missing a beat or a note, shredding her guitar in nearly every practice room, leaving most professors in awe of her vocal range, and not to mention the writings of hers read during some of the english classes the two shared. it was jealousy at its finest. though whenever an unexpected turn of events leaves hazel almost having no choice but to be vulnerable, something else besides avoiding her dorm neighbor might turn into something else. ~ TW for gun violence, ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc...Complete

ATYP is a story that begins inside the head of a teenager dealing with loss and trauma and channeling all his energy into one endeavor, to have a life in music. Rock & Roll is his sanctuary. Joe Theroux was once beaten down. Now he stands tall and defiant giving the middle finger to the system; school, religion, and the expectations of adults who don't share his vision. He's a troubled young man whose state of mind is not always clear even as he focuses and works tirelessly to achieve his dream. Joe is a punk and what do punks do? They fuck up. Punks is a story of family. You will live with Joe's family. His loyalty and love for his sisters are what mold him into a decent young man despite his many flaws. His family gave him all the tools he needed to succeed, except one... the ability to be happy. Even in his best moments, there's an underlying sadness from a loss long ago. Joe's mission begins in high school with a 1970s garage band. He takes them as far as he can. When he turns eighteen his story contains sexual content. As he matures and ventures into the world that content grows more adult in nature. Eventually, he meets a girl who changes his life multiple times over decades. All The Young Punks is the beginning of an epic Punk journey that traverses the world. You cannot imagine it... but I could.Complete
