"Angel With a Shotgun" is set in an alternate reality in which Music is a tangible substance, sold as a street drug, able to be taken intravenously to change the mood of the person using it.
Amelia Johanovic is a social pariah at Marshall Heights High. Her classmates avoid her, and often speak of her behind her back. Her single, widowed, mother, being the sole provider for her daughter, is always either working or wallowing in self-pity, leaving little time for Amelia to confide in her about her problems. The anxiety of attending her school everyday leaves Amelia desperate for a solution, which she finds when a student known as "Bach" begins dealing Music, a street drug capable of boosting and changing its user's mood. Whilst initially being a relief for her, Amelia soon discovers a darker side to Music, one which changes her life drastically, when she suddenly finds herself on the run from the authorities, wanted for mass murder.

The Wild Escape
Katrina Mars has always had a special connection with her older sister, Keeley, who graduated the year Katrina was in eighth grade. That connection was the same kind of love for pop punk/alternative rock music and their desire to be happy helping one another and others. The two had always been best friends as sisters, and they had always been there for each other. Keeley was even the only friend Katrina ever had, even after she went off to college. Ever since Keeley left for college (which is eight hours away from Katrina's home), Katrina has felt lost, confused, lonely, and sad, not knowing what to do at all with no one to turn to. About five months after Keeley left, at a doctor's visit, Katrina discovers that she has been diagnosed with depression. Although this disappoints her, it is not surprising... For the next couple of years, her parents have become worse and worse towards her, mentally abusing her because of the music she likes, the way she dresses, and her normal personality. This worsens her depression, and being ignored and lonely doesn't help. This is all until she meets Sam Browman, a kid in school who is a lot like her: dresses "emo," listens to "emo" bands, sings and plays a lot of instruments, and goes through troubles at home. Who knows what may happen to these kids who connect through both having troubles at home? This story is set in the year 2011, when My Chemical Romance was together (before the breakup and reunion). WARNING: This story contains mentions and depictions of self-harm, abuse, violence, and bullying. If you are sensitive to these topics, I would not recommend this story to you.Complete
