So much of this is either super silly or super sad, or swing both ways, violently. CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY, CHILDREN.

Going in order from silly to sad, a short writing snippet further down.

The Play's the Thing

- Roach writes and tries to pull off a play about their hero identities to impress his drama teacher. And then everyone accidentally gets high off something Mr. Wertz put in Tyler's drink.

- Angst score: 0.0

- Content warnings: Think drunk Shakespeare, but instead of Shakespeare it's a play about superheroes. Just off the top of my head, we've got swearing, inappropriate use of peanut butter, furries, references to masturbation, references to time travelling in regards to masturbation- maybe I should just say this one's Cards Against Humanity in prose form.

Survival of the Fittest

- As a training exercise, Mem and Zen strand the kids on an alien planet and watch to see whether they puzzle out how to survive. Hilarity ensues.

- Angst score: 0.5

- Content warnings: Fight scenes, Kevin's inappropriate sense of humor, and Shope rolling with his inappropriate sense of humor.

You are now passing the point where these fics stop being relatively adventurous and innocent to the "oh my god why would you make these characters suffer like this you monster" zone.

Outlook Not So Good

- I got this prompt from tumblr and couldn't get it out of my head. Tyler gets future vision and ends up predicting his friends' deaths several weeks later. He does everything he can to prevent this. Slight Tyler/Kevin.

- Angst score: 6.0

- Content warnings: Major character injury. Major character death but not really. Depictions of anxiety.

Download In Progress

- Things Shope can control: water, electricity, ice, earth, air. Things Shope can't control: her own life. OR: Shope tries to deal with her overbearing emotions and her somewhat overbearing parents.

- Angst score: 7.0

- Content warnings: This is one of those things I don't really know about until I'm actually writing it. This is probably the safest one because Shope's narrating style kind of censors most dirty humor, but there are depictions of anxiety and panic attacks here.

Re: Science Bros

- THIS ONE'S TITLE SOUNDS CUTE BUT IT'S SAD AND EVIL OKAY. Kevin and Shope bond by starting a YouTube channel. Thing is, Kevin's kind of dealing with some personal problems and yes it is one of those stories where Kevin has an abusive dad. Kevin/Shope isn't the focus of the story but it's there.

- Angst score: 8.0

- Content warnings: Okay, let's just say everyone has anxiety. Abuse warning. Panic attack warning. Major character injury, and of course because Kevin's narrating we have some swearing and inappropriate gallows humor.

All stories take place two years after the main series, in the kids' freshman year of high school. Yes, this does mean that Mr. Wertz broke into their high school. He's creepy like that.

Hey, look, you made to the actual writing, good job!

The Play's the Thing

"Could the lighting tech please stop turning the lights up to take selfies?" Tyler grumbled over the mic. "Thank you. We're on in ten, everybody!"

Roach scurried up to Tyler's side. "Is everything okay?"

"Hey, man, I support you and everything, but this is the third time you've asked. Everything's fine. Well... fine as I can get it with what I've got to work with. HEY, YOU! YEAH, YOU! STOP RAPPING ABOUT OLD POLITICS OVER THE MIC! THE AUDIENCE CAN HEAR YOU!" Tyler shouted into his headset.

"I just want everything to be memorable for my old drama teacher!"

"It's definitely gonna be... memorable, I can tell you that much, Roach." He took a sip of coffee, then cringed. "This tastes really weird. Let's go check on Kevin and Shope; they're the ones actually acting."

"Right here!" Tinfoil and cardboard was more or less the best they could do with a high school budget. It was obvious that different people must have done their makeup- Shope looked fine, more or less, but nobody would be throwing underwear at Kevin, to say the least.

"Wow, Shope, you look amazing! That eyeliner looks really clean!" Roach said, despite having no apparent means of seeing through his hair.

"Thank you? It's sharpie."

"What do I look like?" Kevin stuck his leg in the air, hitting an innocent passerby in the face.

"You look like a two dollar whore!" Roach said, unflinchingly. Kevin gasped in outrage as Tyler choked on his hot cup of joe.

"I didn't teach him that!" Tyler insisted. "Play's on in five. I'm gonna go... sit down for a second. I'm feeling woozy for some reason. Go get ready."
