Im having a very hard time keeping up my grades, I've been studying for 14 hrs everyday just to ruin my most important exam. All my friends seem to do well when they're not even working as hard as me. I'm ready to study more but I keep losing hope. Idk what to do, I'm losing hope for getting into my dream University T T. Thank you so much bestie, for listening to me.

Tumblr media
the hallways were full of students with various emotions displayed on their faces. 
some were jumping up and down and cheering excitedly, while, oppositely, some others looked upset and confused, a few were crying even, and some just looked like they simply did not care.
it was results day for the midterm exams you took two weeks ago.
your friends minho, chan, changbin and jisung had already checked their results on the board that was hung up and were now gathered in front of the main entrance, waiting for you to come out; however, you were a nervous wreck in the restroom trying to calm down and build up the courage to go and look at your results, trying to convince yourself that it can’t be that bad.
after what felt like an eternity of deep breaths and positive affirming, you stepped out into the crowded hallways, making your way to the boards. as soon as you got to them you started searching for your name.
and that’s when your heart dropped.
oh.
it was even worse than you had expected…?
you were on the verge of tears, hopelessness creeping up on you. you had done everything you could and yet it was still not enough. so many people who were putting less effort than you were doing much better, so why was it so hard for you? 
with your head hung low, you started walking towards the exit wanting to do nothing but to go home and drown in your tears right now. well, that was until you heard your name being called as you were walking out of the building. 
looking up you could see jisung, one of your best friends, practically running towards you, the rest of your friends following suit behind him.
“y/n, i passed!” he nearly yelled in your ears, while shaking you by your shoulders.
"congrats, ji” you sent him a small smile; you were genuinely happy for him but your own grades were making it hard for you to match his excitement.
multiple ‘hey’s’ from the other three boys sounded as they got closer, making you lift your hand for a little wave in response, “hi.”. and even through just a little greeting, they could already tell your mood was off.
“y/n what’s wrong? is it your results?” minho was the first one to ask, to which, you gave him a nod, feeling your tears starting to roll down your cheeks. 
“oh, baby” jisung embraced you in a tight hug.
“all my efforts were for nothing, i spent weeks studying only for this to be the outcome.” you sobbed out. 
“it’s okay baby, it happens sometimes.” chan tries to sooth you, “exactly, plus it’s not like this is the end for you, we still have finals and we’ll prepare well together for those, okay?” changbin adds.
“oh, don’t even remind me,” you chuckled a little, lifting your tear stained face from jisung’s chest. “yup, we don’t wanna hear nothing about school or any exams for this whole break.” minho chimed “now, how about we go get some food and go over to my place? remember? we planned a sleepover?” 
right… there was something about a sleepover chan had texted you yesterday. you nodded and soon the four of you were running to catch the bus to your favorite food place.

the high school Winterbaron au that I'll never write~
Zemo transfers to an American school. his father caught him attending a protest and he can't have him undermining the Sokovian government so now Zemo is living at his estranged mother's house in America.
his mother, being American, means Zemo has dual citizenship. her and his father are separated but not divorced. (Zemo hadn't seen her since she left them when he was four so their relationship isn't great)
Bucky is part of the large friend group of avenger characters (Steve, Tony, Bruce, Thor etc.) but he feels left out. it used to be just him, Steve, Natasha, and then later Sam. but now Steve is being pulled away by friends like Tony and girlfriend Peggy. Bucky has Sam and Natasha, but Nat is closer with Clint and Sam is naturally more outgoing and popular than Bucky is, with his own friends.
basically Bucky is feeling lonely as fuck.
due to a complex powder-keg of racism, American ignorance (on the avenger's side), and an already deep-seated resentment of the Starks' and the American forces bombing Sokovia (on Zemo's side): him and the 'avengers group' do not get along and are instantly at each other's throats
Zemo is constantly causing mayhem at school and trying to get kicked out and sent back home. everyone pretty much hates him and he's fine with that.
*vague plot hand wave* something happens, a bet between Zemo and the 'avengers' ends up with Zemo getting to take one of them out on a date and they have do what he says for the day
he chooses Bucky and everyone is thrown
Bucky hardly knows this guy and Steve and Tony thought it would be one of them. they try to refuse on his behalf but Bucky's not that bothered, '*shrug* he's like, what? 5 even?? (he's not) I could just pick him up and throw him if he tried anything (he could do that tho), i'll be fine.'
Bucky feels weird about it more because he's not a part of this fucking drama and now he feels like he's been made the center of it
Steve and Tony are fighting over his involvement in this mess (Steve is protective, Tony is dismissive) and Bucky is just tiRED
Zemo had simply noticed Bucky was being abandoned by his friends and thought he looked lonely like him. but he's also a little shit and too busy playing the villain (and having a blast thank you very much) to drop the façade
so Bucky and Zemo agree to meet at a mall for a 'date'
the mall Zemo chooses is huge and luxurious and Bucky already feels uncomfortable in it. he sits and waits in the food court where there's at least a Hot Dog on a Stick he can feel a little within his financial comforts
Zemo finds him and they're off walking the mall
they bicker, they banter, and of course Zemo is fucking weird. he's acting like they've been friends for years and excitedly showing Bucky all the window displays like Bucky isn't (technically) there against his will. but it's not uncomfortable enough that he isn't starting to catch onto Zemo's chaotic rhythm and enjoy himself a little
they start to talk in that sarcastic playfully teasing way. Bucky's dry wit and Zemo's sharp flirty replies work really well together and they're actually kind of having a good time
until Zemo reminds Bucky he has to do what he says for the day and takes him to a really fancy boutique and informs Bucky that his task is to try on some clothes with Zemo
Bucky instantly feels panic when he's in the store, it's too big and too crowded and there's actual security guards in three piece suits giving him the most judgmental looks as if he's a criminal
everyone knows he doesn't belong there and that he's small and dirty
he starts to have a panic attack
Zemo notices and pulls Bucky into a corner of the store, hands him a bottle of water and instructs him to focus on drinking the bottle up to the label. every sip of water he must take a deep breath like he's coming up for air in a pool. let it out. and take another sip. and repeat.
Zemo tells Bucky he's going to be right back and leaves to talk to someone important
Bucky doesn't notice when everyone starts to leave the shop
the doors close, the lights dim, the music stops playing current pop and plays something soft and old. when Zemo comes back Bucky is feeling a lot better
Zemo says he talked with the manager and they told him he and Bucky could have the next couple of hours by themselves in the shop, if Bucky was still willing that is
Bucky feels embarrassed but Zemo starts ranting about everything that's triggering in the store, like it was everyone else's fault and not Buckys'. it makes him feel less ashamed. 'it's these florescent lights, the doormen were assholes, that music hurt my head too, etc'. like what Bucky had just went through was perfectly normal and not something bad Bucky did on purpose or for attention like people normally make him feel.
he doesn't question how Zemo got everyone to leave and the store to soften (he actually doesn't know Zemo is rich, he never bothered to know Zemo at all. he was just the guy everyone at school hated)
the two of them spend the time running around like children with the store all to themselves, the only other person a butler-like-attendant that serves them champaign and cashews.
Bucky braces for Zemo to dress him up like he promised he would. he's expecting a trim three piece suit that Zemo was eyeing earlier or something equally uncomfortable. but with how surprisingly well Zemo had been treating him Bucky feels like he can indulge a small dress up party for the guy
he's surprised again when Zemo's wardrobe choices for him are sinfully soft cotton jeans, t-shirts, and the sexiest leather jacket he's even seen
they're clothes Bucky would have picked for himself and he feels great in them
Zemo for his part steps out of the dressing room looking like Elton John meets Cruella DeVil
the ugliest purple fur coat, heels with gold accents, and a crop top that says 'break my hole not my heart' on it
Bucky: that is the ugliest fucking outfit I've ever seen
Zemo: thank you, I love it 😎
Bucky asks why he wasn't forced to wear something more high fashion, Zemo answers that, 'while I would love to see you in a suit I know you wouldn't be comfortable in one. attractiveness is about comfort. my style isn't yours. I'm comfortable in things that you would never be in which is why I make this look good. and you look exquisite in that.'
Bucky blushes but doesn't disagree. he does however tease Zemo about his outfit. 'are you sure you actually pull that off?'
Zemo: oh hunny, I'm fuckable in anything
Bucky switches into his old clothes and whistles when he sees the price tag. 'I could never afford this' Zemo looks, 'ah yes , that is quite the ridiculous mark up.'
Zemo: which is why I was planning on stealing it ;3
and then he runs out of the store with all the clothes he picked out for Bucky, still in his gaudy outfit
Bucky is dumbfounded but quickly runs after him and they stop only after they're at the other end of the mall, out of breath
Bucky: the actual fuck, Zemo!
Zemo: *is wearing his ~who me? I've never done anything wrong in my cute little life~ face* :3
Zemo explains shoplifting is good actually fuck capitalism
and doesn't explain that the reason why they had control of the store in the first place is because his father is an investor and everything they ran out with was technically already bought the moment they touched it
but he doesn't want Bucky to feel indebted for the clothes or make him feel like he needs charity. and rebellion (even pretend rebellion) is funner
Bucky suspects everything is fine anyway because he's not an idiot but it's funner to pretend for him too
the fantasy world that they've created outside of their actual lives and drama, in this mall, on this day, is freeing
Zemo releases Bucky of their deal, the time having been completed
Bucky, instead of leaving, takes Zemo's wrist and guides him to Hot Dog on a Stick at the food court
he treats him to a $5 dinner and watches, trying not to laugh, as Zemo attempts to eat a corndog with mustard in a pair of white Versace cashmere pants
it's the best date he's ever had

btw have I mentioned that i'm caught up on your HS AU - it continues to be absolutely brilliant & is one of my favourite starker fics. i never thought i would find such a great HS AU, let alone for starker! i'm SO happy about the end of chapter 9, it was just the perfect amount of sweetness & comfort & tony being wonderful, after all the painful sad crap peter had been through. i kept thinking they'd get interrupted and everything would be ruined, but no! it was just calm & soft! <3 loved it!!
Ahhh thank you so much! I still have one more chapter to go, it’s nearly finished so thank you so much for reading this lil AU! Ahhh, chapter 9.... that car scene has been on my mind since I first started writing this story. I didn’t know or care how we would get there, I just knew that that scene needed to be in it. Because they are, deep down, sweet guys who would move the earth for the people they want to protect. And Tony is such a darling when he’s not trying to prove he’s an ass. 
“Calm and soft” is a very apt description, and I’m also very glad they weren’t interrupted. Thank you so much for reading and for your message, it really makes my day <3 xo

The HS/College Rent AU I Came Up With While Writing the Last Post
We’re just gonna refer to it as ‘the school’ b/c I can’t see a hs actually doing rent????? at least not in my old school district. This definitely didn’t come about because I’m wearing out my musical playlist on Spotify again what do you meannnnnnn anyone into the headcannon that is already becoming a fic that I’m definitely starting.....
NOTE : I just wanted to say first off I know that Tom Collins is typically played by an African American, and Angel by a Latino. However I’ve seen productions without these specifications, but this hc/fic is by no means meant to erase any character’s ethnicity, it’s just for the sanders sides hc/fic. 
Roman
freshman, 
red hair dye. kinda like jacksepticeye’s old haircut but red
soooo pissed he didn’t get Roger or Mark
in fact Mark is being played by a female??????
schools never has enough males for the parts they need
the only other option would’ve been giving Angel to a female, and the director did not want to send that message
which Roman kinda gets
And as Lo explained his father (the director) didn't give leads to freshmen
so he could consider himself lucky he even got Collins 
*smart logan voice* who is only in 3 or 4 less songs than Mark or Roger, because Roger has one more song than Mark, 
roman’s face definitely doesn’t do the little ‘aw’ (like seeing virge in his xmas sweater) when he realizes his best friend like counted them out to know that
(b.c even tho logan wouldn’t tell him he totally thinks romans deserved roger or mark too)
he and logan go way back, like middle school. roman’s always at the sanders house like every other day because his parents just yell at him for every little thing even if his brother started it
Collins couldn’t be too bad, he could finally play in a gay relationship on stage, 
and he’d be able to show off his lower voice range bc most of his other parts were leads and most male leads are tenors
so offended princey aside, Roman Prince is so ready to knock this role out of the park
and he walks in first rehearsal and the Angel they cast causes his little gay heart to almost combust on sight
Patton
freshman as well, new to school with his little brother
“pat, you’re ten minutes older than me”
“still older, virge” (frustrated virgil noises)
doesn’t really like acting, he gets kinda emotional when things are sad but then sometimes forgets to not smile in the middle of a fighting scene, patton
this boy can SING tho
like his tenor is good and all
but THIS MAN’S FALSETTO
soooo of course Thom-er Mr. Sanders cast him as Angel
he’s just so delightful!
he comes into first rehearsal in this cute blue dress and totally doesn’t notice Virgil watching from the last row, 
but he can’t focus on that because LOOK AT THAT CUTE GUY SITTING ALL BY HIMSELF 
makes a lot of ‘friends’ with everybody but when nobody jumps at the idea of a groupchat or to hang out this weekend  he’s totally not sad what do you mean virgil!
and they’re both ready to wait outside for their parents who are super supportive and give them lots of free reign because they’re kinda never there but that’s ok!
but then the cute guy that patton sat like two feet from the entire rehearsal bc he looked lonely comes over and is like ‘I'm not cool or anything but we’re gonna be in a lot of scenes together so if you wanted to, i’d love to hang’
and patton’s heart does the EHEHEH thing, and virgil has to do the *shoulder push* to get patton to give him his number
Virgil
needs to protect his big brother
bc this is a new school and who knows what bullies will be lurking to try and try to ruin his brother’s big heart
didn’t want to take a music class bc he likes to listening to music but he’d rather just listen or draw
then mr sanders, head of the arts dept. catches him watching the first rehearsal
mr. sanders says he has to do something to satisfy the music credit and oh hey my musical is looking for a piano player
fine, virgil spits out, but lowkey glad bc he likes piano he just doesn’t like somebody telling him how to do it and ruining it
but as he’s given the sheet music he just goes ballistic, the fast tempos are oddly relaxing, and the rock feeling just soothes him
so he thinks ah this won’t be too bad
and he walks in to the second rehearsal, and he’s watching his brother kinda twirl on the stage just a few minutes before it’s supposed to start
and he notices that other freshman, Roderick? Ramen? Roman? come in and standing next to him is the hottest nerd he’s ever seen
and that nerd plops down next to mr sanders whose just getting there and mumbles a ‘hey dad’ but virgil catches it
and oh god he’s fucked, he thinks to himself as he stares at the keys for the rest of the rehearsal
Deceit
is stage manager
just wants to go home
and is a sophomore but hangs out with freshman, just not in the arts dept.
but he watches this horrifically adorable freshman in a dress try to talk to a junior and he thinks, oh god these kids are gonna get eaten alive
sassy af
no i have not seen your prop that is definitely not on the table you just walked by three times without checking Jessica
is always hanging upside down?
.like you’re just like ‘Deceit where are you there’s a prop malfunction?’
‘oh yay’ and then he’s doing a backflip off the railing of the pulley system 
comforting when needs to be bc some actors need love while others need a stick up their as-
DECIET LANGUAGE! yeah like that one. that one needs love. 
“i fucked up my line, deceit!” “no one probably even noticed!”
“my hair is a mess” “no it’s not its fine”
makes his assit. stage manag. do dumb tasks like polish the piano keys bc “i can handle it myself”
he can’t
gets stressed but ‘i’m fine, where’s our mimi, light my candle is starting’
Logan 
son of the director, Thomas Sanders
went to audition for the musical to support roman but he heard one comment about getting in bc of his dad and he dipped
told his dad he just wasn’t one for that stuff and was only doing it for roman
tried to ignore the disappointed look in his dad’s eyes even when Thomas was smiling
asked him to be dramaturg instead
mildly happy Thomas and Logan shared smile
sits by his dad first rehearsal,
watches roman,
hides his smile at roman’s first read through already being in character
groans as he listens to roman talk about the cute boy’s number he got
comes into rehearsal the next time and stops bc THE PIANO GUY
*windows error noise* 
slaps roman’s arm a bunch of times
roman asks him what, and logan can just kinda point in virgil’s direction
and while logan goes home that night and compiles a very detailed powerpoint as to why his dad should let him be assistant stage manager
conveniently leaving out how the assistant works with the pit
 roman goes home and compiles everything he could ever possibly find on virgil foster
and omg he’s patton’s brother what?
how could anyone tell under all that purple hair dye???
and he definitely doesn’t send mr sanders a texts 
YOUR SON’S GOT A CRUSH MAKE HIM AS.ST.MAN.AHHH
roman is practically logan’s brother so Thomas is just like ok son
but Thomas makes logan give his case first
and then says ‘fine but you gotta do what deceit says’
and logan’s like well shit if imma die might as well do it looking at the cutest punk ever
next rehearsal he’s just like hello i am new assistant stage manager 
and virgil looks him up and down and just goes ‘cute’
and virgil is dying on the inside but logan doesn’t know that 
all he sees is that sauve boy making him windows error noise
Thomas
just wants his son happy
just wants his son’s friends and crush happy
just wants his musical to go well
