Summary
Louis Armstrong said that if you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know, so I don’t bother asking. I just listen. And feel. Someday, when I have the time, I’ll study it like I did symphony. Like I did baroque, even.
Moisture seeps into the corners of Will’s eyes. He can’t dig his fingernails into his forearm, as blunt and stubby as they are, so he settles for scraping their trim edges into the thin skin of his wrist. Foolishly, he thought he’d be accustomed to grief by now. After his mom, before his fifth birthday. After Sean, just a week after his nineteenth. And now, after his—
A burst of percussion snaps Will out of his spiral.

Summary
Andrew Neiman had never asked for another parent. His mother’s absence had never been a hole he’d sought to fill. Throughout the years, his mind had just been occupied by his dreams of mastering the drums and now getting in that fucking tempo Fletcher held above his head like water in a desert. It had also never occurred to him that his dad might be lonely, that he was the one with the hole in his life that needed to be filled by another person, who’d eventually be taking his mom’s place. Not until now, in his tiny living space, when his dad said:
“A- and I thought… you could meet this someone… dinner. Two weeks.”

Summary
Sometimes, going down, you never do reach the bottom. It's petrifying. You can go in, and in, and in, and no matter how far you go, the depth only extends with you. By the time you realize, there is already no way of reaching the surface again before you've ran out of air. Sometimes, you don't mind.

Summary
this is just an idea i came up with after i saw baby driver for the first time. tell me these two wouldn't be kinda cute together
td;lr: whiplash/baby driver AU where debora breaks up with baby after he went to prison so he moved up to new york to escape his past. he and andrew meet while andrew's busy looking for drumming gigs
(basically, takes place after both movie plots. so it's not really an alternate universe, if you think about it? more so a different interpretation of either endings. but i digress..)
anyways don't expect much from this, it's sorta just fun little drabbles i wrote up and i'll probably utilize this to fill in the hiatus between my tsp fic chapters. enjoy!

Summary
Andrew has gone insane. Or at least, that’s what it feels like, like none of this is real and the very next second, something will happen to reveal Andrew’s mistake. Fletcher will pull away and bring his palm across Andrew’s face with a crack, scream at him some, and then they’ll both go home, like always. That’s what Andrew came back for, isn’t it?

Summary
Andrew wonders if maybe he is going to kill him. Maybe he is going to finally end it. The humiliation didn’t work so it is time to progress to murder. He wonders about how he’ll do it—imagining Fletcher’s hands around his throat, strangling the life out of him with his muscled arms, elbows locked in place as he bears the brunt of his weight down on him.
Post Carnegie, Andrew figures out new ways to tolerate Fletcher.
