Summary
Hey so I’ve been working on this for a while and would love to have a space to potentially share with others?
Set in London, 1984. Follows two main characters Christopher (Chris) Moorstan and Ryan O’Connor.
Looks into punk subculture in the UK, especially the relationship that the music scene had with the political climate of the time with Thatcher, mass unemployment and the rise of the AIDS crisis.
I’ll probably start by just posting character introductions and then I’ll see about potentially starting to post chapters
Idk how to best summarise but it’s gay punks in the 80s
It's also posted on Tumblr under gonnadielikeits1979

Heathers (Novelization, Sapphic - Butch JD) by monsterbloodbath
Fandoms: Heathers (1988), Heathers: The Musical - Murphy & O'Keefe

Tags
Summary
A novelization of the 1988 movie "Heathers" but with JD as a butch lesbian. I mostly followed the movie, but I've also implemented lines from the original movie script as well as from the musical. Some lines are entirely my own.
1988 Westerberg High School is run by a mean girl clique known as The Heathers. Their newest member, Veronica Sawyer, just wanted to fit in. Until one day she meets a mysterious new kid with a passionate but deadly solution to the school hierarchy.
It's written to be like a novel, so no prior knowledge of the fandom is needed to enjoy or understand.

Summary
Daniel Molloy is losing his mind. There's no other explanation for the near-constant feeling of being followed, the paranoia, and the ever-present flashbacks to an interview he has no evidence of ever conducting. Unless he really is being stalked by some sort of supernatural entity.

[Podfic] Charisma Check (DnD is just an excuse for flirting without consequences) by ChekhovsVibrator

Summary
In one of their summer 1989 campaigns, Mike includes a mysterious, recurring NPC. A male tower guard who appears to be interested in Will. Will is a little apprehensive and confused at first, but Lucas, Dustin, and Max are very much intrigued.
The guard seems to be hiding something crucial for moving the campaign forward, but it turns out Will is the only one who can get him to talk... by charming him.
(Inspired by that one post “Was playing DnD and started flirting with the tavern keeper to get some info and at a certain point I realized I was just dirty talking with my buddy Ben.”)

Summary
“See you,” Seonghwa lied.
He didn’t look back, but he had a feeling that if he did, San would still be standing there, fingertips grazing the place he’d been touched. Even Seonghwa couldn’t deny there was something there. Still, it would never work.
Money had brought them together, and money would keep them apart.
In 1980s New York, on the cusp of his big break, Seonghwa acquires a camera that can freeze its subject. He meets San at exactly the wrong time.

Summary
Holly lazily crunches on chocolate cereal by the kitchen island, sketching her dads as they lounge peacefully on the couch across from her.
What?
A future detective ought to know how to draw.
Especially when her models pose and charge no money...
And Dad will proudly hang her masterpiece on the fridge after, too.
"Jackson Healy... huh...sounds good..." Holland nods thoughtfully to himself.

Summary
1980s. Neon lights blur over rain-soaked streets, and film reels flicker on dorm room walls.
Sirius Black, a manic, horror fanatic and aristocratic runaway, is obsessed with making the greatest horror film of all time. At Harrowmere Hall, he meets Remus Lupin, chain-smoking artist and beautifully self-destructive who wants nothing at all.
Amid midnight horror screenings, underground gigs, blood-red stage lights and the burning glow of cigarette tips, they create something unforgettable-scoring their lives to the scratch of a needle on vinyl, chasing immortality through Super 8 reels. But the best horror films always end in tragedy. And between the fights, the drugs, the reckless, unspoken want, so do they.
"It's not real," Remus said as the tapes rolled.
Sirius grinned, a cigarette burning between his lips. "No, but it's cinema."
It's Dead Poets Society if the poets were punk filmmakers on the verge of losing themselves. Almost Famous, but in a dark academia-meets-grungy underground film scene. Its nostalgia drenched in horror and rock 'n' roll. Teenage obsession all wrapped up in cigarette smoke and flickering VHS static—it's pure fucking cinema.

Summary
Spring 1983, New York City. Detectives third grade Christine Cagney & Mary Beth Lacey of the NYPD are partners and good friends. This work explores all aspects of their lives, both on the job and off.
Not yet sure how long this will be; I have written 98 chapters and I anticipate it being at least 200 chapters, maybe more.
If I get subscribers, I will use a regular posting schedule, but until that time, I'm just posting each chapter right after I edit it. -

Summary
The sun beat down ruthlessly on his face, and the ambient noise of the base filled his ears. That’s when Harry noticed him. A man, probably a few years older than him, his uniform impeccable, his boots polished to a mirror shine. His posture was terrifyingly rigid. Every movement was precise, calculated, stripped of any human hesitation. On his chest, a silver tag glinted in the harsh sunlight: Sergeant Reed.
or
When Harry is transferred to a military base in Kansas, the last thing he expects is to form a connection with Joel Reed, the sergeant leading his platoon. But as duty and desire collide, the boundaries between them begin to fracture—leaving them to face an attraction they can no longer control.

Summary
For years, Christine Cagney has loved her partner in ways she refuses to name.
Mary Beth Lacey is married, devoted to her family, and the most important person in Christine's life. The sensible thing would be to leave it there.
Instead, a thousand small moments begin to change the shape of their partnership: late-night stakeouts, ferry rides, shared lunches, phone messages, private jokes, and the growing realization that some forms of love refuse to stay in their assigned place.
Set against the familiar rhythms of the 14th Precinct, Between Boroughs is a slow-burning story about friendship, longing, loyalty, and the complicated choices people make when love arrives too late—or perhaps right on time.

Summary
Mike and Will have been best friends for as long as they can remember.
For years, they shared everything: adventures, secrets, dreams, and a future they always assumed would include each other. But growing up has a way of complicating even the strongest friendships.
Both boys are carrying feelings they don’t know how to name—feelings that are becoming harder and harder to ignore. While Mike struggles with guilt, expectations, and the fear of losing the person who matters most to him, Will is forced to confront the possibility that some truths are better left unspoken.
As the world around them changes and the future pulls them in different directions, they must decide whether protecting their friendship is worth sacrificing their hearts.
A coming-of-age story about first love, longing, friendship, and finding the courage to be honest with yourself. -

Summary
“Sunscreen,” Will said, pulling the bottle Joyce had given him – it felt like months ago, but it had only been a little over a week.
Mike let Will dot the cream on his cheekbones and the tip of his nose. His eyes were fixed on Will, dark and heavy. Will swallowed nervously, not sure what to make of Mike today. One second, he was bouncing off walls, the next he was strangely still and staring. Will wasn’t entirely opposed: it gave him an excuse to stare back. To admire the sharp lines of Mike’s face, his freckles that had only darkened with sun exposure, the flush of old sunburn on the crests of his cheeks and collarbones.
After the party defeated Vecna, Will was invited to join El and Max in Portland. Mike convinces him that one last best friend road trip is a great idea - even if Mike will have to face the long trip home alone.
Including: very 80s mixtapes for each state, staring longingly, gay repression, queer coming of age and El being a queer ally.
