So you've started watching Play It By Ear and you're wondering what the hell the fandom is talking about

(Aka JKEU: Josh & Katrina Extended Universe master post)

In short: in february 2024 the fandom ran a PIBE fanfic week.

@wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos wrote a beautiful story about Josh and Katrina from Joust Because, based around the idea that they are platonic soulmates. Several other authors picked up the thread of the same universe, and gradually brought in more characters and ships.

Now the extended universe of Josh and Katrina, or JKEU for short, includes tens of thousands of words and characters from almost every episode of season 2. It is a beautiful and mindblowing project where the community is, collaboratively and spontaneously, creating a whole world together.

Not everything fits neatly on the same timeline, and if you would prefer to read the fics in the order they were posted you can do so in the PIBE tag on Ao3. However, if you're looking for the closest thing we can get to a Complete Timeline^tm (extremely loose) of the JKEU, it is this:

let's just be friends. let’s merely intertwine our lives, serving as support and fellow celebrant through the ups and downs of an entire human lifetime. only that by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos

2.     We'll Make the Escape of the Falcon Thief by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear

3.     The Mysterious Mayhem of the Missing Award by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos

9.     Baby Steps by @fatestitcherr

10.  Magnets Are a Lot Like Falcons in Many Ways by @vexillologyisenjoyable

11.  my home is in your touch; my heart is in your arms @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos

12.  And They Were Gonna Bust Some Ghosts by @incorrect-play-it-by-ear

16. Stained Glass by @wheelsupin-azarathmetrionzinthos

17.  the distance could never tear us apart by @fatestitcherr

Again, this is *very loose*! Please talk to me if you have input on the order and for the love of god tell me if I missed anything 😅 If you have Thoughts and Feelings about the JKEU you are extremely welcome to come and scream about them in the J & K chaos discord, for the unhinged tumblr gang, created by @shortcakestacks: https://discord.com/invite/qfPk2AfE

This is fandom is, and I don't say this lightly, the most fun fandom I've ever been in. Love you all 💞

EDIT because we have AUs NOW 😍

From Chapter 3 of "Crime Never Stays the Same"

#this little exchange has been in my head ever since I read it #(these are not concrete designs for Gwen or Darren I just did what I thought of first) #(ignore the fact that Darren slides further down the table I finished this at like 3AM) #pibe fanfic #art

i would be anything for you —

She could’ve made picture perfect outfits for the film, down to the last thread. The hoodie wrapped around Tyler’s waist, decidedly not his. The tiny crack in the lens of Vanessa’s glasses. The fading green streak in Dylan’s hair. The scuffs on her own boots. The bears.

(There are so many bears. Where are they going to get enough bears for this.)

or: in which a short film, an awards ceremony, and a couple of stuffed bears bring people together again.

Midnight is not the tallest out there and, flanked by her first officer, she looks even shorter. The fact of her height doesn't matter at all when the way that she holds herself, shoulders back and chin up, makes her seem larger than life. Her presence extends from her body like a tangible thing, pressing into the walls and crowding around the empty spaces between officers. Claire’s breath goes a little thin as Midnight makes her way deeper into the shuttle bay. Jason, on the other hand, is half there, like an extension of Captain Midnight. He’s smiling and relaxed (if an AI could actually be relaxed) as he hovers just behind Midnight. He’s vibrant in a way that Claire knows is intentional, programmed into him by some higher up engineer that doesn’t want any AI to go unrecognized. “My interns!” Captain Midnight exclaims, arms wide open. Her smile is almost blinding in its intensity, and a few of the Ensigns around Claire grin in return. “They’re called ensigns, Captain.” “Enough micromanaging Jason, let me greet our interns.” Jason, instead of sighing or looking annoyed, just smiles at the Captain. It’s indulgent, fond, overall very sweet, and unlike anything Claire’s encountered during her training. There’s always respect between a Captain and their First Officer, and Claire’s seen it in many different shapes and forms, but this goes beyond simple respect. They’re more than just coworkers, that's for sure. She wonders what exactly she’s gotten herself into as the Captain, tailed by Jason, goes down the short line and gets everyone's names.

Part of my current Space Rocks! wip because I'm losing my mind over here.

some more excerpts (and doodles) below:

Sitting innocuously in her inbox, is [If you’re free, come to the brig.] Claire frowns and rereads the message once, twice, and then gives up on trying to figure out if the Captain is being serious. She sends back a simple, [Brig?] and waits. [The Captain means to say bridge!] Jason messages soon after. Considering that it’s a direct message with Captain Midnight herself, Claire figures that Jason spends at least a small percentage of his power on reading everyone’s messages. Or maybe just the Captain’s messages. Either way, Claire wonders what exactly privacy means when the Harmony’s computer is this tapped into the messaging system.

She doesn’t know how long she’s there zoned out and doing nothing, but eventually a chime brings her out of her foggy mind. “Duncan to Claire.” “Claire here.” “Canelli went back into the holodeck.” Claire sighs, even as she feels a smile tugging at her lips. “On my way, sir.”

Featuring my first shot at an Engineer design -who I've been calling Duncan, based on this spreadsheet- that is very self-indulgent (I have so many headcanons about this guy and I will post about it in time, trust 🤞).

The fic is Claire-centric and it explores what life might've been like on the Harmony before Groovatron V. I wanted to see the crew dynamics and put the experience of Space Rocks! into the Star Trek universe. It's far from finished and it'll be a while 'til I actually end up posting it, but I wanted to put some thoughts out there because my mind is just full of Space Rocks! and I needed to do something before I exploded.

The technology displayed in the drawing are not accurate to the actual date in Space Rocks! but I haven't even touched ST Discovery so I don't have a clue what the technology looks like in that era. I'm just making things up as I go atp

#space rocks #play it by ear #pibe fanfic #fanfic #wip #fanart #art #this has very quickly become a Thing for me #the uniforms are definitely subject to change #bc while i first based them off the existing state of st uniforms #i've been browsing pinterest and i have some new ideas #for now tho these uniforms will do

me parece loquisimo también como a aang (12 años en la historia original) lo tachan de misógino en varios fanfics de cierto ship conocido de la serie al punto de hacerlo un ABUSADOR mientras a zuko lo ponen como el aliado mas aliado es ley wachita es ley cuando zuko viene de un pais imperial militarizado hasta los huevos con roles de género recontra duros (la madre obligada a casarse, azula enloqueciendo por ser perfecta asi siente que se gana el amor del padre pero también pasa que el poder que tiene es condicional por ser mujer) y aang es literal un pibe criado en una comuna donde la mitad de la organización es llevada por mujeres (2 templos hombres 2 templos mujeres etc) y encima son los mas abiertos ideologicamente (aang fue lesbiana en muchas vidas pasadas ahre joda pero tipo la hija decidio confiar en el al salir del closet por algo). las tribus agua y el reino tierra son ambos super patriarcales también. la única diferencia es que la nación del fuego permite a las mujeres participar en la guerra #USA style

If you're ever unprepared . . . Just wing it, bitch.

(aka, the fic i'm writing for pibe fanfic week is gonna have plot points prepared ahead of time, but the songs i'm gonna mostly come up with and write lyrics for on the spot)

Sonic 3 y Avatar 2 van a salir el mismo día:

Avatar:

Una sola película hace como 30 años

Impacto cultural desaparecido en menos de 2 meses

Nunca vi un solo pibe con un juguete o videojuego de Avatar

Tu juego flash de Newgrounds promedio tiene más fanart y fanfic que Avatar

Sonic:

Constantemente sacando juegos y series hasta hoy día

Cualquier pibito de 6 años reconoce a Sonic y quiere una campera con sus orejitas para correr como él

Todo pibe en el tercer mundo tuvo una Sega Genesis alguna vez

Aprox. un 30% del internet está dedicado a fanart y OCs de Sonic

va a ser una masacre

#cosas mias #acá vendían las sega a 200 pesos y no me sorprendería si están más o menos a ese precio todavía #todo el mundo conoce a Sonic todo el mundo quiere a Sonic es un ícono cultural

thinking about the AU where Rachel is like a fairly popular twitch streamer or whatever who does have to soft launch her new boyfriend because they keep seeing his cats in the background of her streams

#pibe fanfic #JKEU #play it by ear #pibe #i just think josh just collects stray cats #and rachel is A Gamer #Glass Falcon #idk if decided on that ship name

This one is for the Janice Wood heads out there 💞

#play it by ear #janice wood #jkeu #i have been obsessing over this one for like a week you guys #I am extremely excited to be able to share it #pibe fanfic

[whimsy-on-wheels]

moments before Janessa and Byler figure out the door's locked

#the mysterious mayhem of the missing award #thoughts on the designs? I didn't really know what to do #janessa and byler having grey streaks makes sense to me #josh is a white boy name ok #pibe fanfic #art #the more I stare at this the more I dislike it but I'm gonna post it anyways

[starstruckodysseys]

love that my current pibe fic wips are:

- four bisexual teens attempt to dye their hair themselves (while balancing crushes on each other)

- two of the aforementioned four bisexual teens attempting to set their twins up over the span of far too many years to still be considered normal

- local lesbian + her best friend break into a jewelry store/art museum/i haven’t decided yet to steal a ring and Definitely Not propose to her girlfriend

#the second one does go from mallapalooza era to heartbeat hospital era for the record #i haven’t actually started the last one but it is in my brain #play it by ear #pibe fanfic

[fatestitcherr]

finished the second (and final) chapter!! this kind of got away from me and just turned into them both being hopeless gays... enjoy!!!
