This is "Monologue #84: Highway" of Eric Bogosian's book: "100 Monologues"
This version is the script to Sebastian Stan's video, on YouTube, of him performing/ reading it. It's a little different from the actual monologue, missing a few pieces here and there, but it's still just as beautiful.
It was such a touching video that I just had to share it.

"It's b-beautiful tonight" "Yeah," he looked at the boy standing beside him "Really beautiful." ~ It's 1992. Stan is volunteering as a camp counsellor to start saving up for college. At first it's just a stupid summer job, but the arrival of a cute counsellor might change his perspective. - - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7kYRzgesjvwjHDVJGRw6GJ?si=3vW19cJES76q6S4IWanriQ my stenbrough playlist <3 now all the boring information Year: 1992 Ages: All counsellors are 17, the campers are 10-13, and Henry is 18(exception to the counsellors all being 17) Main Characters: Stanley Uris, Bill Denbrough Side Characters: Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh, Eddie Kaspbrak, Mike Hanlon, Richie Tozier Minor Characters: Henry Bowers, Greta Keene Side Ships: Reddie, Benverly Trigger Warnings: internalized homophobia, homophobia, self harm, psychical violence Smut?: maybe a little romance but nothing R rated Pennywise?: no pennywise.

Everything
"This relationship has everything..." Stefon is finally coming out to his family, officially this time. He has sat down every important person in his life to give them the news. His brother and cousin pretty much have it all figured out, but his parents and his aunt and uncle are firm on their belief that he's just been going through a phase. As he tries to get through his anxiety to get them to meet his boyfriend, things start going south. Never has he been shy about his sexuality, but how is he supposed to convince his family it isn't a phase if he can't even get them to talk to him properly? The characters in this story are based loosely on Bobby Moynihan's theory about the Weekend Update family, as well as throwing other things around that make sense revolving that. The family Stefon lives with: Drunk Uncle - Stefon's Uncle (Going by Uncle Bobby since he was never given a name) Aunt Linda - Stefon's Aunt The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started A Conversation With At A Party - Stefon's Cousin (Going by Cecily since she wasn't given a name either) Bar Mitzvah boy Jacob - Neighbor These are the characters *based on* Bobby's theory. Now for the others, named by Stefon himself: David Zolefsky - Stefon's Brother Ms. Stefon - Stefon's Mother David Bowie - Stefon's Father Based on the information Stefon gives us, he also has a son (he is presumably an absent father) and a dog, Bark Ruffalo. And Shy as a last second decision because who needs dramaless storiesComplete

I'm looking through you; you're not the same." The year is 1976 and the Beatles were a legendary band of the past. Old news, even. A distant memory that, at one point in time, took the entire world by storm. But that was years and years ago... Since, the band has gone through a pretty bitter break up. Though, memories don't fade away so easy. Paul McCartney knew that better than anyone else. Paul notices himself thinking back on old times more often than ever before. Dwelling on the unresolved problems between himself and the others... Well, the problems he has with one person in particular. John Lennon. Paul wants to repair the apparent issues left behind him with his ex-partner... his ex-lover, and it's no secret to anybody in his "new" life. One day, even his wife, Linda, suggests to Paul that he should go and visit the lad in New York City. So? What else is he to do, but... make a surprise trip? The rest of this story lies between these pages. ====================================== - Completed - Ranked #1 in the Mclennon tag and #1 in Starrison - Pretty Angsty - Disclaimer: Some quotes used in this story are paraphrased/referenced from the original "Two of Us (2000)" movie.

The Daughter | The Chronicles of Narnia
"The sons of Adam and daughters of Eve shall rule, but the oldest daughter shall never be equal to her siblings" Anne Pevensie was constantly overshadowed by her siblings. She was shy and smart, but not as smart as Susan, and not as defiant as Edmund. She was the oldest daughter, a burden she bore every day. When Lucy brings her and her family through a wardrobe and into Narnia, Anne has hope that maybe this magical world will fill what she was missing. It doesn't. It gives her the short straw, just as England had. Based on the Chronicles of Narnia movies by Disney Prince Caspian x OC in later booksComplete
