Unpaid Chauffeur

Pairing: Reggie Peters x Fem!Reader, 2020 Alive!AU

Warnings: Injury (Nothing Fatal)

Genre: Fluff

Words: 2349

***

I didn’t want to admit it to anyone. Hell, I didn’t even want to admit it to myself, but I was slowly falling for the bass player of my best friend’s band. Despite my best efforts, aka constantly avoiding the hell out of the cute brunette ditzy boy, Reggie Peters somehow managed to charm his way into my heart and is getting away with it.

Hang on, let me backtrack a bit.

It’s not that I don’t like Reggie, he’s a great guy and I will be forever in debt to him, Alex, and Luke for bringing music back into Julie’s life after she lost her mom, but I made a promise to myself that I would not get romantically involved with anyone Julie is close to.

Besides, I have a reputation to uphold and the guy is the human equivalent to a Golden Retriever.

Laying in my bed and staring up at the ceiling I groaned to myself, mostly in frustration about the fact that the guy lives in my head rent free. My phone rang through my dangerously empty bedroom and I let out a sigh of relief as I reached out, grabbing my phone from my nightstand I looked at the Caller ID.

“Oh, Julie, you beautiful woman what can I do for you?” I asked as I swiped the answer button.

“Uh, hey Y/N we have a bit of a situation over here.” Julie said nervously making me sit up in my bed quickly.

“What’s going on?” I asked slowly as I moved my hips so I my feet were on the floor.

“Reggie was being...you know, Reggie and he jumped from the balcony and hurt his ankle. Alex’s van isn’t starting, and my dad is out of town. You’re the only one with access to a car..." Julie trailed off and I sighed, shaking my head as I stood up.

"Okay. Chill. I'll be there soon. Get him on the couch." I said hanging up the phone and rolling my eyes. Of course, they need my help while I'm having a teenaged crisis.

I decided to not bother changing out of my pajama pants and (favorite band) muscle shirt as I slipped on my sneakers and grabbed my keys from the wooden bowl on my nightstand.

I grabbed my small backpack off the wall and swung it over my shoulder as I walked through the hallway.

Once I reached the apartment door, my father's voice came from the kitchen, "Y/N, it's late. Where are you going?"

I grabbed the door handle, "Julie needs my help. One of our...friends got hurt and needs to be taken to the hospital. I'll be safe, dad." I told him and he nodded, walking over to me.

"Bring the friend to Urgent Care first and they'll tell you if he needs to go to the hospital."

I agreed and rushed out the door, the night sky was illuminated with stars and I admired them as I walked to my car, tossing the bag in the passenger’s seat.

***

After the ten-minute drive from the apartment complex to Julie's house I pulled into the driveway and stopped the engine, getting out quickly and walking towards the open garage.

"Stop being such a baby Reggie." Luke's voice rang out as I walked in the large door.

"It hurts!" He said in a higher tone than normally, "And you keep touching it! Don't touch it!" He snapped and I walked in to make my presence known.

"You know you're going to have to walk on it to get into my car, Reggie." I told him and he looked over at me. His eyes lighting up.

"You called Y/N?" He asked Julie as I walked over to the couch where he was sitting.

"You need to go get it checked out and Alex is at the auto shop getting the van fixed and my dad went out. " Julie defended her reasoning and he nodded.

"I'm in my PJ'S, I'm taking you. Luke, help me get him to my car?" I turned my attention to Luke, who nodded and moved to help Reggie stand up from his right side.

I moved to his left side to help steady him, his arm wrapped around my shoulders and I felt my face heat up, but I turned my head so neither of the boys would see as we walked into the darkness of outside. The only light coming from inside of the studio.

Luke opened the backseat and we got Reggie in the car with only a few whines of protest. We closed the door for him as he buckled up.

"You got everything?" I asked Luke, but he just pursed his lips in response.

“, uh, I told Julie that I would...help her watch Carlos! He can't be home alone plus I wanted to get this new song done," he trailed off, scratching the back of his neck.

I just blinked at him, "You really expect me to be able to lug that Golden Retriever of a man into Urgent Care myself?"

He shrugged, backing up to the garage with a thumbs up, "You got this."

He disappeared before I could protest, and I saw Julie's curls disappearing from the window.

I groaned, tilting my head back. What in the world are they planning now?

***

The Urgent Care waiting room was almost full, thankfully Reggie didn't need to much assistance getting into the building. Now we sat side by side in uncomfortable chairs at eleven o'clock at night. I texted my dad to let him know I wouldn't be in till late as we got Reggie waiting.

We sat in silence, the two of us never really have been alone in the same room together, so to say that the car ride was awkward would be an understatement.

"So, uh, were you doing anything before Julie called?" He broke the silence and I looked over at him, away from the old magazine that I was skimming through.

I rose an eyebrow with a small smirk and gestured to my body, "Obviously I was at a fancy party." I said sarcastically and his naturally rosy face became even more red at the realization.

He reached to rub the back of his neck, clearing his throat, "Oh uh, yeah, right..." he mumbled, and I chuckled, looking back at the magazine in my hands.

A few minutes later, I heard tapping of shoes and I looked up, relieved to see that a Nurse finally came out of one of the rooms with a clipboard, looking around the waiting room.

"Peters?" She asked making Reggie raise his hand as he went to stand up.

I stood up as well to help him up and we slowly followed the nurse down the hallway and into an empty room.

I helped him up onto the bed and backed away as his feet dangled down, I started to back up into the hallway, "I'll be right outside-"

"Wait," he cut me off and made me stop in my place, "Can you...stay? I really don't like hospitals or doctors’ offices..." he said as the nurse was getting stuff together.

I hesitated for a moment, but nodded and sat in the chair, pulling out my phone as the nurse started doing the procedure tests.

I could tell he was getting nervous so I moved my phone into my left hand so I could keep scrolling through Instagram and I held out my other hand towards his, grabbing his hand gently hoping he would get the hint.

He accepted it, lacing his fingers in mine. I didn't dare to look away from my cellphone because if I did, I would probably regret answering Julie's phone call.

The nurse did her thing, asking Reggie the typical questions.

"How did you hurt the ankle?" She asked and he hummed.

"I jumped off of a balcony onto the ground floor, I just didn't land right I guess." He said with a shrug and I just sighed lightly, placing my phone on my lap.

The nurse looked at me, to confirm if it was true and I just stared back at her.

"Don't look at me. I wasn't there. I'm just the unpaid chauffeur." I joked and I felt Reggie squeezing my hand a bit, I squeezed his in reassurance.

She said nothing else and walked out, shaking her head in disbelief. I expected Reggie to let go of my hand when she left, but he didn't move, and I wasn't complaining.

"Do you really think you're just an unpaid chauffer?" His voice brought my attention to him. I rose and eyebrow and held up our joint hands to point at the clock.

"If I really thought that do you think I would be sitting in an Urgent Care with you at half past midnight in my pajamas holding your hand?" I asked rhetorically, tilting my head to the side as his perfect smile grew, which made my heart-

No, Y/N, No. Bad. Control yourself.

"So, all it took for you to admit you're my friend was getting hurt. I guess Y/N L/N has a heart after all." He teased me and I rolled my eyes to make it seem like I didn't care.

"You're pushing your luck, Peters." I threatened to let go of his hand by loosening my grip, but he whined and held on tighter making me smile.

The small moment was ruined when the doctor came in. I had to let go of his hand which made a frown appear on his face.

After a quick examination, the doctor nodded, "Congratulations, it's a sprain. Not much we can do for it. My recommendation would be to ice it on and off, keep it wrapped up and elevated for a while. Also, try to not jump off anymore balconies."

I scoffed jokingly, "He's accident prone. Don't be surprised if you see him in here again." I stood up from my seat as the doctor grabbed a receipt from the printer.

"Come on Reggie." I mumbled helping him back up, "I'm pretty sure Julie's dad has a pair of crutches you can borrow for the time being." I said to him as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder for support.

We hobbled out of the Urgent Care and back to my car, I helped him down into the passenger’s seat and threw my bag into the back before getting in on the driver’s side, rolling down the windows to get some fresh air in.

We were both tired, as it was now one in the morning so I decided to just drive Reggie home and crash in the studio so I wouldn't be driving home so tired.

But as soon as I pulled up to Reggie's house, we could hear the shouting from inside. I could almost feel Reggie tense up next to me and I didn't say anything as I drove off.

"Y/N? Where are we going?" He asked quietly, I didn't need to look at him to be able to see the cute, confused look he gave pretty much every day.

He makes it impossible to ignore the inconvenient crush I have on him.

I had to come up with something on the spot, “Back to the Studio. You and I will sit on the couch and watch movies until we pass out from exhaustion.” I told him as I pulled to a stop light and glancing over at him.

A smile appeared on his face, “Star Wars?”

I let out a small scoff, shaking my head, “Geek.”

“You’re friends with this geek.” He teased, reaching over and poking my cheek.

I chuckled, pulling into the street by Julie’s driveway and parked the car. Getting out of the car and helping Reggie out, the two of us hobbled to the studio that was empty thankfully and I practically threw Reggie onto the couch.

He landed with a huff and I turned on the small television that Ray kept out here for us, searching for the Star Wars movies.

“Should we start in Chronological order, or the order that the movies were released?” I asked, not taking my eyes off the tv as I grabbed the pillow from the couch and placed it on the coffee table as he took off his shoes.

“The order they were released, obviously.” He said and I nodded, clicking on Episode IV and sitting about a foot away from him.

I felt a blanket being draped over my legs and I smiled, adjusting it on my legs for comfort sake.

“Thank you for tonight, Y/N,” He said lowly as the introduction started floating up the screen.

I looked over at him, “What, did you think I was going to say screw you and go to bed? I’m mean, but not mean enough to abandon someone when they need help.”

“I’m not just talking about my ankle.” He gestured to the tv and I smiled softly, looking back at the screen.

“I know what it’s like, the endless fighting. My parents fought constantly before my mom finally left. Watching movies with Julie always made me feel better, so I figured maybe it would help you.”

It was silent for a little while as the movie played out in front of us and my drowsiness was winning the battle. I felt my eyes start to droop and my head tilted slightly to the side.

I heard Reggie sigh lightly, “Come on, N/N,” I felt him gently grabbing my shoulders and pulling me across his lap. I would have argued at any other time, but I was too tired to protest as he adjusted another pillow and the blanket that was wrapped around us.

Once I was comfortable my eyes closed much to my dismay and the man had the audacity to gently rub my arm; humming quietly in my ear as if he knew that would lull me to sleep.

As I felt myself fall asleep, Reggie sighed lightly,

“You are so much more than an Unpaid Chauffeur, Y/N.”

A Breakdown Of “Stand Tall”

((...this may or may not be me finding an excuse to talk about my favorite song but HERE WE GO!))

Stand Tall is just-

For starters, the lead up to the song is so tense. Caleb poofs the boys back to his club, makes them play their instruments against their will (which really helps show just how powerful he is and a taste of what he’s capable of), and then you add on that Julie thinks it’s too late and that they’re gone now when we as the viewer know that’s not what happened but she doesn’t know that. Then you as the viewer are thinking, “...can they even poof back since they are at Caleb’s club?” And the whole of Stand Tall you’re just thinking that.

You have the touching scene of Julie thinking the boys are gone and talking to her mom. Then after receiving the Daliha she has the courage and decides that she can perform the song on her own. It’s full circle like in Wake Up:

“And I use the pain, because it’s part of me and I’m ready to power through it. Find the strength, find the melody, cause you showed me how to do it.”

“And I use the pain, because it’s part of me and I’m ready to power through it.”

She has the pain of losing her mom, it will always be there but now, since the boys helping with her grief, she can now get through it.

“Find the strength, find the melody, cause you showed me how to do it.”

She finds the strength to do the song on her own because after everything that they’ve gone through she finds the strength inside of her that’s been there all along.

She dedicates the song to her mom and the 3 guys who have no idea why they came into her life and have turned into not just her band but her family.

She starts and immediately gets emotional. She’ll have to perform this song without her band, the band that has helped her so much, the band that has turned into her friends, her family.

It builds to her starting to smile while she sings thinking about the boys and all that has happened.

Then the key changes (aka where they would have entered if they were there)

“Whatever happens, Even if I’m the last standing, I’ma stand tall I’ma stand tall”

“Whatever happens”

After 3 ghost boys come into your life and help you find your passion for music again but then because of not making a deal with a ghost top hat man club runner (cult leader) that puts them in a position of whether to cross over, join his club forever or be gone gone because of electric jolts.

“Even if I’m the last one standing”

If the boys are gone gone and she’s the last one left out of the band, she’s the last one standing.

“I’ma stand tall, I’ma stand tall”

She finds the strength inside that she had all along and that she can sing on her own. She can’t just not because it would be like the passed time she spent with these guys who have turned into so much more than just “3 ghosts” (all these 9 episodes) would mean nothing.

After the chorus her voice gets bold! Julie realizes that she can do this because she found the strength that’s been inside her all along and that she doesn’t necessarily need the boys to sing with. They’ve helped her so much and we can actually see how much they have in this song. The fact that she is now to able to play music in front of everyone while she thinks they’re gone it’s so powerful!

The whole time you’re watching, it’s so tense you’re just thinking, “Any second! Any second they’re gonna poof in! Come on! They have to!” It feels like such a long time when it’s really not but the atmosphere is so tense. Since they are at Caleb’s club and he brought them there can they even poof out?

Then finally Alex poofs in,

She’s so relieved.

“Don’t worry best friend, I’m here.”

Then Reggie poofs in.

“I’m here too little sis!”

Then there’s Luke...

It’s so god damn tense when he’s flickering.

All of them get worry but they have to keep it together because they are performing in front of so so many people.

He finally poofs in.

Julie takes the mic off the stand once they’re all there because now they can do this, if this is the last time they perform, they’re gonna make it great. They just let go of all the worry and just have fun with the song like they always do.

Julie immediately goes to Luke completely forgetting about Perfect Harmony and what that meant for her. She doesn’t ignore him like how she did in Edge of Great, all that’s being focused on is the music and how all of them feel.

You got the Reggie and Julie friendship:

Then one of the best moments:

Alex grabs the mic:

“Whatever happens Even if I’m the last standing I’ma stand tall I’ma stand tall”

It’s great for two reasons, it catches you off-guard to hear him have this solo (you get blessed by hearing Owen’s beautiful voice), but this solo is a big moment too for him considering his past.

“Whatever happens”

Such as parents who didn’t react so kindly to you being gay.

“Even if I’m the last standing”

You’d be “alone” (last one standing).

“I’ma stand tall, I’ma stand tall”

You are the only who can stand and you are standing tall because you have that strength.

The same applies to Reggie:

When you were around parents who were always a fight away from a divorce, growing up hearing the yelling and the fighting, in the end you are standing tall.

And again the same applies to Luke:

Running away from home, leaving on bad terms with your parents, you’re the last one standing you’re going to stand tall.

Stand Tall is a PSA to everyone that no matter what you go through, if you’re alone you can stand tall. You have that strength to be able to stand your ground, stand what you’re fighting for and stand tall.

Whether it’s being able to do something on your own after you haven’t been able to for so long, after telling your family who you are, after growing up hearing shouting and fighting in a place that’s supposed to make you feel safe and secure or running out to follow a dream, you can stand tall.

Just like Julie says,

“This song is for anyone who’s lost their way. Step into your greatness, don’t give up. Stand tall.”

If the phantoms can do it, so can you.

Day Three Fic Masterlist

Thanks to everyone who participated in day three of Peterpatter Fest! We received lots of cool takes on Confessions/Running Your Mouth/Favorite Quote. Here are all of the fics for those prompts.

Red looks good on you by Geci

AKA @reginaldpatterson

Rated G

Luke has to try on some clothes for the prom and tries them in the studio while Reggie is here, asking him for advice.

He’s A Dork and He Blushes a Lot by Whattfisausername

AKA @whattfisausername

Rated G

The boy continued to just stand there awkwardly.

*Awe, he's so nervous. That’s cute. His blush is pretty, too.*

“You’re gonna make your flannel jealous, blushing like that.”

I’m Not Too Far And You’re My Favorite Place by DaintyDuck_99

AKA @daintyduck99

Rated T

Luke puts an arm around Reggie’s shoulder, and he leans into the touch, smothering a yawn in the crook of Luke’s neck and making him shiver. Luke’s hand finds its way into Reggie’s hair, scratching at Reggie’s scalp with his blunt nails, and Reggie’s eyes flutter closed.

“You know I’ll always be there for you if you’re having trouble sleeping, bro,” Luke murmurs, lips brushing the top of Reggie’s head, and it’s like he can’t escape from that damn dream.

Or: Now that the boys are living and need sleep again, Reggie's confronted with an old problem—insomnia—as well as a new one—the tiny crush he may or may not have on Luke.

Luke’s Song Book by DaintyDuck_99

AKA @daintyduck99

Rated T

A collection of songs for a variety of Peterpatter Fest prompts.

Coming Undone by rum_and_coke_with_lime

AKA @suckerforpsychos

Rated E

After confessing their mutual feelings for each other, Luke and Reggie make love. Reggie reveals that Luke is his first male partner in the process.

Gonna Give You All My Love by psyduckappears

AKA @psyduckappears

Rated T

Reggie is frustrated with both the concept of virginity and the fact that he hasn't lost his. His idea to solve the latter of the two problems is ... so bad. Luke doesn't even know how to describe how bad it is.

reggie peters and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad attempt to have casual sex with luke patterson by tiriansjewel

AKA @tiriansjewel

Rated M

When Luke hooks up with Carrie at a party and tells Reggie he wishes he could try having sex with a guy, Reggie offers his services. The only problem with this is that Reggie has had a massive crush on Luke for months now. What could possibly go wrong?

I Had The Best Time Falling Into Love by justyrae

AKA @astorytotellyourfriends

Rated G

When Luke runs away from home, his only option is to hide out in Bobby's garage. It turns out that he's not the only one with that idea.

Cast Your Confessions by goodluckgettingtosleep

AKA @sunsetcurveofficial

Rated T

“Reg,” Luke whines the moment the doctor has left the room. “I can’t not play guitar for two months! What am I gonna do?” The thought alone fills Luke with a mild panic. He lives and breathes his music. Sometimes it feels like it’s all he has, and if he can’t find comfort in his music anymore--then what is he supposed to do? Maybe find comfort in his flannel wearing best friend instead.

or, Luke breaks his wrist falling off stage and is a whiny little bitch about it, Alex is close to strangling him, and Reggie does his best to take care of him.

Will You Be Mine? by justyrae

AKA @astorytotellyourfriends

Rated T

Five times Willie thinks Luke and Reggie are dating, and the one time they actually are.

Ride Or Die Till The End by Invisible Raven

whatever happens (jatp)

so i’ve recently (aka yesterday) read both jatp books and let me tell you...whatever happens was aMAZING. we got a detailed look at our favs before they met (and the few scenes in the present time were delightful) and we got SO MANY DETAILS! i’m going to list my favorite learned facts because i can’t stop thinking about it all:

alex accidentally turned his white wardrobe pink the day before of the orpheum show (and then proudly wore the pink)

luke’s “rush” shirt is ACTUALLY ALEX’S

reggie super loves his little bro steve

bobby and luke were best friends longer than any of the other boys

bobby isn’t/wasn’t a great guitarist but luke always believed in him and helped him

bobby looked up to luke (like a lot)

bobby stole his stage name from a street magician

confirmation that rose is julie’s mom!!!

julie and carrie’s friendship broke up around the same time julie found out her mom got sick and julie regrets letting her and carrie drift far apart

rose once mentioned sunset curve to julie 🥺🥺 (though not by name)

luke is not alex’s “type”

one reason the boys didn’t pass over is potentially because they “made a pact” to always come back to the studio aka their home

flynn’s parents are health nuts with too many plants

luke was going home and was going to make up with his mom the day after the orpheum show

luke thought he saw his mom’s volvo on the strip the night before the orphuem in an alleyway by sam ‘n ella’s (and i think it really was her and she was putting up the missing flyer for luke but that’s just my headcanon)

the characters said “now or never” so many times

reggie is as dumb as he acts (we got some chapters in his POV) but he’s also pretty observant (in rare moments)

“the nineties seriously were making a comeback in my life. I wondered what other gifts from that time period would land on my doorstep.“ oh julie honey

luke having no time/mind for dating, not understanding fighting over a girl, music is everything (ace!luke ftw imo!)

trevor luke’s songs & julie: “his lyrics that called to me—that touched the very essence of my soul and spoke to me in a way nothing else did.”

julie and her mom singing together!! so sweet

luke crushing julie’s tears away 🥺

luke calling julie “beautiful and mysterious”

luke telling julie he likes her

julie (in her head at least) calling luke “my phantom”

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

#julie and the phantoms #jatp #i can't stand it i just had to get this down #this isn't every single thing but it's what i remember #text

aayyy. in your post about Julie wearing 'witchy' clothing. you mentioned stars in several places. you missed the most important one: the basket ball hoop above Julie's head (when she's standing on the piano) during Edge of Great. that song is v important imo. everything is perfect for that song. her dad is there/supportive, Flynn helped set it all up, Julie knows the boys won't bail this time. it's the calm before the storm (aka 1x8 and 1x9). talk to me a thing about this. please *pleading eyes*

hgdtadfsrwsd the way you just opened the floodgates of my love for everything Edge of Great

I love Julie’s entire Bisexual Butterfly Ensemble

I love how happy Flynn is

I love the way Ray’s so excited and happy to have his little niña back

I love Julie’s cute little dance

I love that Carlos is filming and dancing, too, and it’s not even close to the kinda music he actually likes/listens to, he just loves his sister like WE STAN A SUPPORTIVE LITTLE BROTHER #SIBLINGGOALS

I love the way she interacts with my boy Reggie

I love the way Luke watched that interaction with that big smile ‘cause he loves his friends

I love the way they both look at Alex and Alex smiles back at them

Luke’s cute lil confused puppy face 🥺🥺🥺

Reggie&Julie vibing p2

OBSESSED with the way Julie nopes out of serenading Luke and Alex gives her that look because he knows damn well they belong together

THE WAY REG WALKS TO LUKE TO BE LIKE “BRO???“ “IDK????“ because he ships them just as hard as Alex does

Nick’s cute little white boy dance while Carrie’s like “not the Siren/Witch entrancing my man this means WAR, also this song is a BOP and I’m mad about it and please tell me you are dating your guitarist“

THIS LOOK @ FLYNNIE 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

FLYNN’S “YAAASSSSS“

Julie climbing onto the grand piano Like That

THE ENTIRE LET YOUR COLORS BLIND THEIR EYES BE WHO YOU ARE NO COMPROMISE PART BECAUSE P A S S I O N LIKE YES YOU LITTLE BISEXUAL SIREN/WITCH QUEEN SING YOUR PRIDE YOU’RE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE

Luke’s sweet “Are we ok?“ face while he plays to her

“We’re ok sweetie” NOSE SCRUNCH NOSE SCRUNCH NOSE SCRUNCH

The way Luke is like *only heard “WE’RE MEANT TO BE” AND ASCENDED TO HEAVEN*

👏 THAT 👏 WE'RE 👏 STANDING 👏 ON 👏 THE 👏 EDGE 👏 OF 👏 GREEEEEEAAAAAAT 👏 AND THE B-BALL HOOP UNDER A STAR LOOKING LIKE A HALO

LUKE BBY

THE WAAAAY THIS MAN IS DETERMINED TO HAVE JULIE SMILE AT HIM LIKE THAT AGAIN

Reggie and Alex letting them have Their Moment alone because they are The Captains of the ship

SURPRISE SERENADE

HEART EYES HEART EYES HEART EYES

Julie’s little snap back to the reality that Luke wasn’t the only one there

AND THE L Y R I C S

Running from the past Tripping on the now What is lost can be found, it's obvious

Julie was running from the passing of her mom who was her favorite person, was lying and keeping secrets from herr bestie, little brother, dad, auntie, the entire student body and every teacher at school and she lost her mom (family) but found the guys (”my friends, my band, my family”) so it’s fine.

And like a rubber ball We come bouncing back We all got a second act, inside of us

Julie bounced back and metaphorically came back to life after a year of no music with the love and support from the guys and Julie set them free from The Dark Room and they literally back to life thanks to her and now this is their second act, together.

'Cause we're standing on the edge of great (On the edge of great) Great (On the edge of great) Great (On the edge of great) 'Cause we're standing on the edge of great

They’re literally just meant to be legends. It’s their destiny. There’s no other way to explain it. They’re on the edge of living that dream of playing The Orpheum. They’re two episodes away from living that dream of playing The Orpheum. The best day of their life and afterlife. But this moment right now, singing this song, is theirs.

We all make mistakes But they're just stepping stones To take us where we wanna go It's never straight, no

The guys made the mistake of going to HGC instead of going straight to the dance to perform with Julie and talking to Caleb and actually considering joining him for a second. It was but a stepping stone to them realizing just how important Julie is to them and how much they need all Julie and each other. The path to realizing Julie was it for them was never going to be straight because none of them are straight.

Sometimes we gotta lean Lean on someone else To get a little help Until we find our way

Julie leaned on the guys to help her through her no music depression slump and the guys leaned on Julie to help them achieve their dreams with her by their sides.

I believe, I believe that we're just one dream Away from who we're meant to be That we're standing on the edge of Something big, something crazy Our best days are yet unknown That this moment is ours to own 'Cause we're standing on the edge of great (On the edge of great) Great (On the edge of great) Great (On the edge of great) 'Cause we're standing on the edge of... Shout, shout C'mon and let it out, out Don't gotta hide it Let your colors blind their eyes Be who you are no compromise Just shout, shout C'mon and let it out, out What doesn't kill you makes you feel alive Ooh-oh

WE HAVE REACHED THE MOST ICONIC JATP BRIDGE CURRENTLY IN EXISTENCE. *ahem*

*gestures* Bisexuality.

I believe I believe that we're just one dream Away from who we're meant to be That we're standing on the edge of great Something big, something crazy Our best days are yet unknown That this moment is ours to own 'Cause we're standing on the edge of great (On the edge of great) On the edge of great (Great, on the edge of great) On the edge (Great, on the edge of great) 'Cause we're standing on the edge of... Running from the past Tripping on the now What is lost can be found, it's obvious

Julie And The Phantoms are destined for greatness and are already Legends In Their Own Right.

Surprise!

Summary: Flynn wakes up on her birthday to Julie acting strange, and suspects she might be up to something.

AKA a Flynn nolastname birthday fic for her birthday!

Flynn always woke up early on her birthday. Usually it was due to the numerous texts and calls she would get from her friends wishing her a happy birthday, but, when she went to check her phone there were no notifications, not even from Julie.

“Huh,” Flynn said, wondering if Julie was still sleeping. However, this question was quickly answered when Flynn’s phone began ringing and displayed Julie’s contact.

“Hey. Jules,” Flynn said, answering the phone.

“Hey, Flynn,” Julie responded.

“Guess what day it is!” Flynn said to Julie, expecting her to get the hint.

“April Fools day?” Julie asked.

“What?” Flynn asked, confused. “No. I mean, yeah it is, but that’s not what I was talking about.”

“What el- oh, right, your birthday,” Julie said. “Happy birthday!”

“Thanks,” Flynn said, half-heartedly. “Did you seriously forget?”

“Sorry,” Julie apologized. “I’ve just had a lot on my mind with the band and everything.”

“Oh,” Flynn said, disappointed. “Are we still getting frozen yogurt?”

It was a tradition for Flynn and Julie to get frozen yogurt on both of their birthdays.

“Of course,” Julie said. “We could come to my house after, maybe hang out and order some pizza?”

“Yeah,” Flynn agreed. “That sounds fun.”

“Okay,” Julie said, and Flynn could hear the smile in her voice.

At noon, Julie and Flynn met up outside their favorite frozen yogurt shop on Sunset Boulevard.

“What flavor are you going to get?” Julie asked Flynn.

“Birthday cake and gummy bears, duh,” Flynn responded, stepping into the shop.

Julie laughed. “I’ll probably just get vanilla and cookie dough.”

“Boring,” Flynn responded, bumping into Julie’s shoulder and laughing.

Julie smiled and rolled her eyes. “I never got the appeal of putting gummy bears on frozen yogurt. They get hard and gross.”

“Hey, don’t you dare insult gummy bears on frozen yogurt,” Flynn told her.

Julie scrunched her nose, and began to fill up her bowl with frozen yogurt. Flynn followed her lead and began to put frozen yogurt in her own bowl. She then went over to the toppings counter and put sprinkles and gummy bears on her frozen yogurt.

“Gross,” Julie joked.

“You’re gross,” Flynn joked back. It wasn’t really a good comeback, but it was the best she could come up with.

Julie laughed, and motioned for Flynn to put her frozen yogurt on the scale. They knew the drill by now, whosoever birthday it wasn’t, had to pay for their frozen yogurt. Of course, neither of them minded, it was like buying the other a birthday present, even if they had already gotten them another.

Another tradition of theirs was to always eat outside. It didn’t matter how hot or cold it was, and if there were any tables left, they’d find a place to just sit and talk. They would finish their yogurt within minutes, but they would normally sit and talk for hours about random things like crushes and music. Luckily, they were able to find a table outside. They both sat down and began to eat their yogurt.

“So, how are you and Luke?” Flynn asked Julie, starting the conversation.

“We’re good,” Julie responded, her eyes twinkling. “We’ve written a lot of songs together, and I think we really click.”

Flynn smiled. “That’s great. I’m happy for you, Jules.”

Julie smiled even wider than before. “What about you and Carrie? Have you told her yet?”

“That I liked her?” Flynn asked. “Hell no. I mean I doubt she even likes me back. Besides, she just broke up with Nick.”

“Flynn that was months ago,” Julie told her. “And she told us she never really liked Nick anyways, she was just trying to hide her feelings for someone else.”

“I wish she had said who,” Flynn told Julie. “That would make this so much easier.”

Julie laughed. “You’ll figure it out, and, if you do tell her, just know you have my full support.”

Flynn smiled. “I already knew that, but thanks Jules.”

“Of course,” Julie said, then checked her phone. “Are you almost done. We need to get back to my house soon.”

“Why?” Flynn asked. “Is there something going on?”

“No,” Julie said, quickly. Too quickly, she was up to something.

“Okay,” Flynn said, suspicious.

Flynn finished her frozen yogurt then walked with Julie to her house.

“What is it?” Flynn kept pestering Julie.

“I’m not telling you,” Julie kept repeating, but Flynn kept trying to get it out of her, knowing she’d break eventually.

“C’mon Jules, please just tell me,” Flynn pestered.

“No,” Julie said, walking faster. Flynn knew it was to try and avoid her.

“C’mon, just give me a hint,” Flynn said.

“Nope,” Julie told her.

Flynn rolled her eyes. “Fine. Is it for my birthday?”

“Flynn-” Julie started, then replied, “maybe.”

“It so is!” Flynn said, excitedly, and gasped, “is it a surprise party?”

“N- yeah,” Julie said.

“Yes!” Flynn said, happily.

“Just try and act surprised, okay?” Julie asked.

“Fine,” Flynn said, then got more serious. “Did you invite Carrie?”

Julie laughed. “Of course I invited Carrie.”

Flynn smiled brightly. “Thanks, Jules.”

“Of course,” Julie responded.

When they got to Julie’s house, and everyone jumped out from their hiding places and yelled “surprise,” Flynn didn’t even have to pretend to be surprised. Almost everyone she knew was there including all of Dirty Candi, Nick, the Phantoms, Willie, and even Ray and Carlos.

“Wow,” Flynn had said. “Thanks guys.”

The crowd erupted into shouts of “you’re welcome,” “no problem,” and “of course.”

“Your presents are over on the couch if you want to open them,” Julie told her.

Flynn smiled, unlike Julie who insisted on eating cake before opening presents, Flynn was quite the opposite.

“Okay,” Flynn said, happily making her way over to the presents. She picked up the one closest to her. It was from Nick. Inside contained a pair of wireless headphones.

“For the next time you DJ,” Nick told her.

“Thanks,” Flynn thanked him, and set the box down. She then grabbed another one. This one was signed “from Dirty Candi.”

Flynn opened the box and found many pairs of earrings and a new shirt. Sure, it was a Dirty Candi shirt, but Flynn didn’t mind. Like Nick, she smiled and thanked them.

The next gift was from Ray and Carlos. She opened it up to find a new polaroid camera. She smiled, thanking them, as her old one had broken a few months before.

The next gift was from Willie and Alex. They had gotten her a skateboard and a helmet. She smiled.

“Are you finally gonna teach me to skateboard?” Flynn asked Willie.

Willie smiled. “I mean I would hope so, I got you the skateboard.”

Flynn laughed, then turned to Alex. “Thanks, both of you.”

Alex nodded. “Just make sure you wear the helmet.”

Flynn smiled. “Okay.”

The next present she opened was from Luke and Reggie. Inside she found a Sunset Curve T-shirt and a teal beanie.

“Thanks, guys!” Flynn exclaimed, getting on the beanie.

Luke and Reggie nodded.

The next gift Flynn grabbed was from Julie. She opened it to reveal a Julie and the Phantoms shirt that said “manager” on the back.

“I better be your manager,” Flynn said, and laughed. She then dug deeper into the gift bag and found a CD labeled “Flying Solo.”

“You recorded this?” Flynn asked.

Julie nodded. “Yeah, I figured it would be a good present.”

Flynn smiled. “You were right.”

Finally, Flynn opened the last present. It was from Carrie, which she didn’t expect since Dirty Candi had already given her a gift.

“You got me a present yourself?” Flynn asked Carrie, shocked.

Carrie nodded. “Yeah. Consider it the start of an apology for everything that I did.”

Flynn nodded, and opened the gift. In it, contained two front row VIP tickets to a Paramore concert, and the card simply said “date?”

“Really?” Flynn asked, happiness and adrenaline running through her body.

Carrie nodded. “If you want to.”

“Of course I want to!” Flynn exclaimed excitedly. “It’s a date.”

“A date?” Julie asked, excitedly, looking between the two of them, then smiled. “Okay, just have her home by midnight.”

Everyone laughed at Julie’s comment, but Flynn barely noticed. She couldn’t believe that Carrie had asked her out. She was so busy thinking about what she was going to wear that she almost missed Julie ask if she wanted cake.

“Yeah,” Flynn said. “That would be great.”

Flynn smiled. This was the best birthday she had ever had.

6,7, and 15 for the fanfic write asks?

Thanks friend! From this:

6. what is your favourite sense to incorporate in your writing and why?

ooh hmmm... idk i feel like i’m not that good at physical senses... but like emotionally, just the sense of like. loving someone so much (romantically or platonically) and being loved so much that you just like. understand each other on a deep level. cause that’s my favorite thing about my own relationships with my friends and loved ones so. idk if that really answers the question.

7. what is you favourite sentence/paragraph? read it to us! (asker can choose what fic) (x)

(ok so i’m a narcissist so i’m gonna read a whole short section cause i can’t just pick one paragraph. i also talk too fast but hmu for podfics, i live for this stuff)

From i might be okay but i’m not fine at all:

In the Dark Room, Luke doesn’t let himself think about everything they left behind. A line of fans crowded outside the Orpheum, sure—he definitely doesn’t let himself think too hard about them—but also his mom and dad, still praying he’ll come home one day, or Mr. Schaefer from the Music Store, who buys Luke lunch three times a week and ignores the Missing posters with his face on them splattered across town and agreed to pay him in cash and not ask for his real name, or Bobby.

More than anything, Luke doesn’t let himself think about Bobby.

The Dark Room is not so much a room as a lack of one. There are no walls for Luke to press his back against, no floor for Alex to pace, no window or door for Reggie to peer out of and get his bearings. There is only blackness and his boys—two out of three of his boys—and if Luke closes his eyes, he can at least pretend that this is just a normal night and that they’re all lounging around the studio, riding the high of another rocking performance. He can at least try to ignore the foggy lingering pain in his stomach, the distant memory of nausea, and the inexplicable, undeniable certainty that he’s dead.

Alex is crying (has been crying since they floated out of the ambulance into this nothingness, Reggie asked, “Is this… Heaven?” and Luke, trying for a joke, said, “I don’t know if street dogs and rock bands are quite the keys to Paradise we were trying for, boys.” Alex burst immediately into tears and Luke hasn’t said a word since). Reggie is trembling, tugging at his fingers like they’re the strings of his bass. If Luke’s heart could beat, it would be rioting out of his chest. If he could breathe, he’d be gasping for air. But his ribcage is lifeless, his lungs still.

And anyway, his boys (two out of three of his boys) are freaking out enough as it is. One of them has to keep their act together, and as the frontman of Sunset Curve, the one who brought them all together in the first place, the one who cornered his best friends in the schoolyard and said, “I had a great idea,” and refused to take no for an answer—as the one who said, “I’m thinking street dogs” and got two out of three of his boys killed and couldn’t even make it two minutes in the afterlife without making Alex cry—it might as well be Luke.

So he doesn’t let himself succumb to the panic rising up inside him. And he doesn’t let himself think about everything and everyone they left behind. And when the music calls out to them and sends them flying through the nothingness and they catapult, screaming, out of the unfamiliar black into the most familiar place in the world, he only lets himself ask, “How did she get her stuff in here so fast?”

And not, “And what did she do with Bobby’s?”

I’m not great at beginnings, but I love how I started this fic, so here :)

15. describe (one of) your wip(s) in the weirdest/most contrived way possible! (asker can choose what wip)

uhh lmao. religious trauma, anxiety attacks, luke is a dumbass, reggie is Trying His Best. aka Alex comes out to Reggie FIRST. :D

Fully posted! Only read if you like teens being teens, painfully oblivious Juke moments, prom shenanigans, Alex and Reggie and Flynn being my absolute favorites, and seeing a Nick x Julie date.

Rated T primarily for language. >17k words. Modern/Alive AU

Summary:

“Two things. One, Luke absolutely is our new best friend and one of us now and no I will not be taking comments on this. It’s a done deal. And two, we’re all a little bit in love with him, right?”

Generally one to prefer the company of his guitar over people, Luke doesn’t plan to meet his future best friends, bandmates, and eventual love of his life as a sophomore transfer at Los Feliz High. But fate is a funny thing because that’s exactly what happens.

AKA a few fun, chaotic, and sappy vignettes from The High School Years: where Luke meets Julie, Alex, Reggie, and Flynn, and, not to be overly dramatic, but their lives are changed forever.

Day Two Fic Masterlist

Thank you to everyone who participated yesterday! It’s been so exciting to read everyone’s different creations based around the prompts Favorite Performance, Mic Sharing, and Chemistry. Here are the links to all of the fics that were posted under these prompts!

He’s a Dork and He’s In A Band by Whattfisausername

aka @whattfisausername

Rated T

“So, we’ve seen your video, but let’s see if you’re just as good IRL,” said Flynn.

“Trust me guys, he’s gonna be great,” said Luke.

*That sounds promising...I think?*

Reggie turned away, trying to hide his blush from Luke’s friends as he plugged into the speaker.

for you are a magnet and i am steel by tiriansjewel

aka @tiriansjewel

Rated E

"Maybe the realization that he wanted to hook up with Reggie should have sent him into a spiraling crisis about the implications of finding his best friend attractive, especially when he got all warm and cozy thinking about Reggie's general presence, but his brain was full of far more eloquent thoughts which mostly involved mouths and hands and hips and how unfairly hot Reggie looked in his leather jacket. So, the plan was simple. Be utterly insatiable on stage, and maybe Reggie would get the right idea and finally shove him against the wall after the show and put his lips to good use. Or something like that."

Heartstrings by DaintyDuck_99

aka @daintyduck99

Rated T

“Even if it’s not him right now,” Alex starts, “you could have like—the opposite of what Jamie and I had had. The whole soulmate thing is so fluid, you know? It could become him, if you both worked at it.”

Or: In a world where anyone 18 and older receives access to whatever songs their most compatible romantic partner, or current "soulmate," are humming or singing, Luke starts getting snippets of an original song, and he hopes they're from Reggie.

The day Sunset Curve... by Geci

aka @reginaldpatterson

Rated G

Today is a big day for Sunset Curve: they are about to play at the Orpheum!

I Had The Best Time Falling Into Love by justyrae

aka @astorytotellyourfriends

Rated G

When Luke runs away from home, his only option is to hide out in Bobby's garage. It turns out that he's not the only one with that idea.

Get To Know You by justyrae

aka @astorytotellyourfriends

Rated E

Neither Luke nor Reggie know what they’re getting into when they volunteer to be models for an art class. As far as they’re concerned, it’s just an easy way to make a hundred bucks.

Somethin’ Stupid by psyduckappears

aka @psyduckappears

Rated T

When Reggie's microphone breaks only a day before a gig, Luke offers to share his until they can get it fixed. They've done it a million times before so ... it can't be that bad. Right? Right? Well, he doesn't really have a choice, so he'll just have to try not to spill his guts like an idiot.

Leather and Lace by goodluckgettingtosleep

aka @sunsetcurveofficial

Rated E

Luke’s been with both girls and boys in his time, but every time he’s with a girl, he runs into the same problem. He just can’t for the life of him figure out how to work bras. You’d think he’d have an easy time opening one, given the way he shreds on the guitar, but no. Whenever Luke tries to open the clasp of a bra, there is a lot of awkward fumbling and frustrated grunting involved that, on occasion, has really ruined the mood.

But Luke wouldn't be Luke if he didn't have a brilliant solution to his problem: He asks Reggie to wear bras for him to practice on.

Partners In Chemistry by Artemis_Charmed

aka @artemischarmed

Rated T

Chemistry. They have it. Both in the sense of science class and in the abstract idea of "love, lust, infatuation, and a desire to be involved intimately with someone."

Ride Or Die Till The End by InvisibleRaven

aka @invisibleraven

Rated T

Ficlets for PeterPatter Fest! Fic title and all chapter titles will be from HwaYoun's amazing Crooked Teeth song.

Luke’s Song Book by DaintyDuck_99

aka @daintyduck99

Rated T

It’s bold, the way you watch my lips,

My shirts sit too big on your frame

I kiss your dextrous fingertips

To set your pretty cheeks aflame

A collection of songs, just as the title implies

mic sharing by charjace

AKA @wiildhcartsrun

Rated T

a part of my it's a dark place without you series too

#peterpatterfest #peterpatter #thank you for participating!!
