Alvarez is pretty sure she’s nailing this.

“And that’s why none of my friends call me by my first name.” She chuckles, rubbing her palms against her thighs from under the table. “So just – yeah, just call me Alvarez. Yeah.”

Across from her, Laila raises an eyebrow. “Sure,” she says, mouth quirked in a hint of a smile. Her lipstick is the color of blackberries, and it’s very, very distracting.

Alvarez chuckles again, taking a long sip of her iced lemon tea.

To answer anon’s question – it’s about Laila and Alvarez! It’s my first time writing them and I don’t have a lot written yet, only parts where Alvarez is being a disaster lesbian, but I hope I can do them justice. It’s exciting to write them, I think, since we know very little about them in canon – imagine the Possibilites.

Thanks @jsteneil and anon for sending the asks 😀

Oh oh oh, just saw your WIPS post. I LOVE a world alone, so am thrilled to see half are an extension of that story. (Is the high school au a storyline?) Based on some of your other posts, it looks like you’re starting w/Nicky’s POV. Wonderful! If you ever continue with Neil’s storyline, I’m pretty sure I’d drop everything to read it. Thx for your works!

Hi, Cory!

I’m so glad you like a world alone! I have three extra chapters planned for it (and yes, one of them is going to be in Neil’s POV!) and I hope I can get them done before the year ends :’) 

The first part of the high school au can be found here, and the second part here. I wrote them so that they can be read as stand-alones, but I’ve decided to write a part 3 because a few people have requested it 🙂

Thanks for your support!

tell! us! what! you’re! writing! about! Nicky!

hi hello i’m glad you asked.

it’s my first attempt at writing in nicky’s pov – which is a mistake probably since it’s set in that teacher au i wrote last year where i mixed their ages around. so we have a seventeen year old nicky who’s living with an adult andrew, and… well, let’s just say that nicky is very much still healing from all the shit he went through when he lived with his parents and from conversion camp. but he has a good support system now, so not everything is grim and broody. here’s a snippet if you’re interested :’o

“I’m telling you guys, there’s definitely something between them,” Matt insists for the third time that morning.

“Matt, if there was, I’d already been knew about it,” Nicky rationalizes, also for the third time that morning.

“Bitch, please.” Kyle adjusts his wig, giving himself a once-over in the mirror. “You have a shitty gay-dar.”

See, Irfan is the first, full-fledged crush Nicky has had ever since – well, ever since he got back from the therapy program two and a half years ago. He’s a senior at Norton High, competes in javelin throws, and rides his dad’s old vespa. He has beefy arms, olive brown skin, and emerald green eyes. Nicky likes him a lot, and he refuses to be ashamed of it.

let’s hope i can finish it, lol. thank you for sending me this ❤

Your high school AU is so gooood 💖💖 are you thinking of doing a part 3? It’s so amazing 😍😍😍

Thank you!!  I don’t have much of an idea for a part 3, but if inspiration hits, I would definitely love to write a continuation! (You guys are free to send me prompts btw – I’m a slow writer, though, so you might have to wait a while before I post something asfghkl)

In the mean time, may I suggest this other high school AU I wrote? The difference is that Andrew and Neil are teachers instead of students wink wonk. 

Thank you again for the kind words ❤️
