camp miniwaka au uwu

ty rachel u icon! this is probably gonna be the next thing i’ll work on (and after i finish this ask imma yeet to go finish this oneshot bc im so sick of not having it done. but if anyone wants to send more feel free!). 

so in this au peter and sam don’t know each other! peter lives in san diego and not oceanside, and his parents just got a divorce and while he’s not shocked that it happened, it’s still a shitty situation and he’s not dealing with it very well. aka he’s repressing everything and just watching movies instead of hanging out with friends (which... he doesnt really have any) or going to a therapist like his mom wants him to. so p much his tía tells his mom abt this summer camp nearby called camp miniwaka, and it seems like a good way to have peter make some friends he can open up to and have fun thats not staying in the movie theaters. she’s like u can do this or therapy but like... dont bottle shit in and say everything’s fine bc thats kinda of why i was in that relationship so long and im worried about you. and peters like well..... i dont want to go to therapy and this will be a waste of my time but whatever it’s like a week i can deal with it for a week if it makes my mom happy

meanwhile, sam still lives in oceanside/goes to hanover. he’s a little bit different in this au bc ... lack of peter. he’s a little more popular well/liked (but not like Popular lets be realistic here). he’s more of a class clown but not dylan status. his best friends are gabi and paige wodecki (gabi’s a camp counselor this year bc she just graduated, paige is still a camper), and he’s been going to this camp forever. recently he’s been dealing with him like. Being Bi and being scared of that and what ppl will think and all that jazz  (i feel like he told gabi and paige but he’s never really told anyone else)

ALSO so since peter wasnt at hanover, american vandal was never made, (this is set in the summer between soph/junior year), so everyone thinks dylan did it and he got charged with a fine/community service, and he’s partially fulfilling that by working at camp miniwaka as maintenance and helping out with cooking/cleaning, etc. everyones like omg why is he here and peters like lmao whaT??????? he doesnt find out who did the dicks but peter believes dylan is innocent and tell him as such, he kinda wants to befriend dylan, and he also gets sam to give dylan the benefit of the doubt

so peter thinks this is gonna be all bullshit but then his bunkmate sam is actually p cool and nice (they bond over hating their camp counselor, alex trimbolli, movies, sam invites him to have lunch with him, etc,) and like also Gay. so eventually he finds himself opening up to sam about stuff, as well as dylan (at one point they all get super high bc dylan used the kitched to make edible brownies and they eat it without knowing and sams like hell yeah while peter’s going whathteufkcuewhathfuck bc he was literally telling his mom he doesnt wanna go to oceanside Stoner Central bc hes gonna get addicted to weed elkgnknergerg). 

and over the week (or two weeks idk i really havent figured it out lmao), him and sam get really close and they like Almost Kiss at the docks but then they get interrupted. but p much peter’s mom gave him some letters envelopes to write her if he wanted and sam had asked for a couple earlier and used one to write peter a dumb joke. but without knowing it they both wrote each other letters lowkey confessing how they felt, mostly just being like wrow ur weirdly important to me? and sneak them in each others bags before they leave but bc both of them are fucking dumb they dont leave any contact info and sam hate social media so they dont talk for a year........... ~until the next summer~ and i’ll leave it at that!

send me an au an i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it
