Summary
This is a soulmate AU in which when your soulmate says something memorable, the words appear printed on your wrist. It's canon compliant, apart from the soulmate part, and skips around in time some. This is like...90% Andrew Minyard's internal monologue.

Summary
He was at Evermore with Kevin, he was on a roof with Andrew, he was in a parking lot with Dan, he was in a gas station with Aaron, he was in a park with Nicky, he was in the snow with Allison, he was at a boxing gym with Matt, he was in a car with Renee.
He was on the court and there were 8 Foxes, staring him down and telling him not to leave.

Summary
“Music is the only thing in my life that has never let me down. The only thing that has been consistently there for me.”
It’s 1975, and The Kings’ Men are one of the biggest bands on the planet - a juggernaut of hit rock songs, in the midst of a marathon North American tour, and more money and groupies than sense. But lead guitarist Kevin Day has severely injured his hand in a skiing accident, and Jeremy Knox has received the call up to replace him for the remaining tour leg. For an artist who has been trying to make it solo, it’s a dream come true.
Bassist Jean Moreau is angry, and withdrawn, but he and Jeremy click quickly, and as the tension between them grows, a different kind of tension is also brewing within The Kings’ Men. And when the curtain calls time, will they all go home alive?

Wouldn't have thought this sort of AU would work -- and yet. And yet. It does, and it is absolutely perfect. Definitely read.

Summary
ROLLINS STONE MAGAZINE
In this issue
Six of Crows: From break-ins to breakout stars, the band talks overnight success, music and madness, and everything in between.
Eddie Spaghetti once said, "Rock and roll keeps you in a constant state of juvenile delinquency."That would explain a lot, as the dynamic within the band can only be described as a decidedly more aggressive version of The Breakfast Club. Namely: a lot of banter—most of which involves a lot of stinging and acerbic one-liners that are just waiting to be immortalized by the internet, enough hijinks to send any authority figure running, and a whole lot of waffles.
(or, the band au no one asked for but which I wrote anyway)
