Summary
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Love, or longing, or whatever this thing in his chest was — it wasn’t meant to look like this, feel like this. He’d grown up being told what it was supposed to be about : a girl with soft hair and a soft smile, someone you could write home about, someone your parents would nod approvingly at across a dinner table. Something clean, expected, natural. And he’d tried, God, he’d tried to want that.

Summary
The Dead Poets are NYC’s underground bar’s biggest joy. Or at least-that’s what they wish they were. They’ll get there! Pitts’ voice is just brilliant enough, and Todd is a good addition to the lot. (Meeks thinks they should have just hired him in the first place). Chris and Charlie love fighting with each other, so maybe Todd can finally get them to all get along!
Along the way, the band meets paths with another little group of artists, although they aren’t in a band. Romances begin between the poet and the actor, the filmmakers (Ginny likes French new wave just as much as Chris alright?), and Knox thinks God must be real if Charlie Dalton is real—and can play the drums!
The latter can’t believe they have to sit back and watch. It’s 1993! Why is everybody so worried about falling in love?

Summary
The building begins to fall around Robin at a violent pace. He’s gripping the silver bar tightly now. It won’t be long. The floor is shaking, the roof is falling, and he thinks of that happy place of his, that memory, and then he desperately whispers the words engraved on the bar—
Nothingness. For an instant, there is absolute nothingness.
And then—
Robin opens his eyes. For a moment, he wonders if he’s made it to the afterlife. He’s on that hill again, and next to him is the picnic basket. He could smell the cheese laid out next to the chocolate that he and Ramy had spent too much of their money on. His eyes begin to water at the sight.
“Birdie?”
---
Before Robin dies in the collapse of Babel, he gets a second chance to do it all over again. He’s not going to waste it.

Summary
Once Neil gets to about page 6 when looking over his play, he feels his eyebrows furrow. Now, obviously since the play was about the Poets as a whole, there wasn’t really a main character. There would be a more prominent character in each given scene, but Neil made sure to avoid making himself the one who narrated and directed the entire story.
But once he was about halfway through rereading what he had so far, he realized that every character more or less revolved around one Poet in particular. Every scene managed to include the character, there were always in-depth descriptions of what he and his facial expressions looked like, and everyone either went to him for help or obviously valued his opinion highly.
Neil had named the character William, and he was realizing now that he had included a surprising amount of descriptions about this character’s blond hair, blue eyes, and unassuming but devout personality.
Oh shit, Neil thinks to himself, I accidentally made Todd the main character.
Or in which it's 1960, the Poets' senior year at Welton, and Neil's writing a secret play, his magnum opus, but there's just one problem: Todd keeps getting in the way.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??
