Original Characters (Main): Tyler Raith, Emily Drake, Tessa Raith, Tatum Raith

Pairings (Main): Tyler Raith/Gerard Way, Emily Drake/Ray Toro, Tessa Raith/Matt Sanders, Tatum Raith/Brian Haner Jr.

Story Summary: Tyler Raith was an ordinary citizen, nothing special in the grand scheme of things. Until she fought for a tour of banned entertainers and was then given the responsibility of the Grand Resurrection Tour. She continued to argue that she was nothing special, it was the music that was important, but she would eventually learn that sometimes nobody special could start an entire revolution. In the meantime, she was busy wrangling rockstars and simply trying to survive.

Chapter Summary: Where tragedy and hope converge.

Word Count: 23,880

Chapter II: Dream Until Your Dream Comes True

Location: Creswell Region / Los Angeles City, Riverside District

Date: 24 February 2232

Perspective: Tyler Raith

Fridays were always a highly anticipated day, but Tyler didn’t feel any relief as she slid into her car after a long day at the clinic. It felt like she hadn’t stopped since the start of the week, it had been one emergency after another, and she was too exhausted to even feel relief at the thought of having two whole days to herself. She realized her hands were shaking as she reached out for the nav system, her fingers were practically vibrating as she put in her address, but she still reached down to turn on the car’s mobile system. There was absolutely no way that she was going to endure the silence and her own thoughts all the way home, and her eyes closed as the car came to life around her and a mobcast filtered through the speakers. Samara wouldn’t be mobcasting until later that night, but the voice sounded familiar. Maybe someone that Samara worked with?

[aaronhotchstuff]

i’m currently revamping my supernatural fic and now i’m working on a new edit for izzy that features ocs that are either new or has been changed, so i thought i’d make a post of all the things i’ve changed, added and kept the same on the art of running so far!! (and a bit unrelated but if you sent me an ask, i promise i’m working on it!! i just got a ton of them in my inbox and it’s taking me a while to get through all of them <3)

CHANGES;

instead of a twin sister named evangeline ‘eva’ hayes (played by jenna coleman), izzy now has a twin brother named jerome ‘jerry’ hayes (played by tyler hoechlin)

her older sister eleanor ‘ellie’ hayes is now named victoria ‘vicky’ madden but is still played by sophia bush

her dad ivan hayes, played by jon hamm, is now named jeremiah hayes and played by julian mcmahon

her mom elizabeth ‘lizzy’ hayes is now played by alyssa milano (still dead tho)

lizzy has two sisters instead of one, which are victoria ‘tori’ scott (played by holly marie combs) and rosalind ‘sally’ scott (played by shannen doherty) and tori is also dead </3

the angel abiel / abbie is now played by tala ashe instead of ana de armas

izzy’s fic series the everlasting series is now named the love and war saga, and there are now five books instead of three

my connected supernatural fic series is now named damnation of the damned instead of fall of the aegis

NEW;

madison ricci (played by melanie scrofano) is now the love interest for sam instead of laurel barnes

madi has a younger sister named alison (played by dominique provost-chalkley) and she will be paired with charlie

(not exactly new but) sarah young (played by jessica parker kennedy) is sam’s romantic soulmate, but she’s gay (for gail miller (played by shelley hennig) specifically, who is indenial about her attraction to women and also has a ✨friendly✨ rivalry with izzy)

reggie weir (played by grey damon) is a witch who reached out to izzy after she succumbed to dark magic in s2 and encouraged her to stay on that track & izzy basically cheated on dean with him although she was not entirely herself

vicky is married and has a little boy, but her husband will probably die (or is already dead) so she’s paired with cas

jerry will probably be paired with jo

ugh there’s definitely way more but i cannot think of all of them rn afajshjs

SAME;

knox taylor (brenton thwaites) is still the one that got away

violet barnes (teresa palmer) is still the detrimental ex

laurel barnes (claire holt) is still the stuck-up bitch (that may or may not be paired with adam milligan)

poppy barnes (britt robertson) is still the unwanted babysitter (that will probably be paired with jack)

lol basically everything else is the same, unless i forgot about something sfgsgd

if anybody has questions just send me an ask and i’ll happily answer!! but as i’ve mentioned above, it’ll probably take a bit of time due to the current amount of asks i have!! <3 (also some of these aren’t even for taor, more so her series in general, but anyways afajdhsjs)

Same Face, Different Stories Groups

Hey everyone! It’s finally time! @eddysocs and @stareyedplanet worked really hard on this so we hope you all enjoy it!

Before we start we do have a few things to mention:

First things first, we ask that you don’t discuss your ocs with other members in your group. After all, we want to see what you can make, not what everyone collectively can.

Second, all pairings can be written as platonic or romantic. It’s really up to you. We felt it was easier this way, as it prevented anyone from feeling put in an uncomfortable position.

Third, try to think outside the box with some of the facts! We tried to keep them as general as possible to give you guys more opportunity to show what you can think of. The OC name is up to you. :)

And lastly, we want everyone to create something to show off their OC. Whether it be a one-shot or an introduction post, that’s up to you! All we ask that if you make graphics you also include OC information. When you post your graphic, tag @samefacesdifferentstories and we will reblog it here for everyone to see!

We are really excited to see what everyone comes up with!

Groups below the cut! :)

So, about the OC gushing? I don’t really get to gush about my OC, because she’s in a not so popular fandom and I haven’t even posted the story yet, but here’s a few things about her. Her name is Tyler Raith. She’s a fraternal twin who acts like an older sister, she’ll do anything to help anyone even at the cost of herself, she has an extremely loud voice and is in constant motion, and my girl needs to learn how to take a break. Due to some slight tragic backstory™️, her hands were crushed but are still functional. All she wants to do is make a small change in the world. People describe her as sentimental and stubborn, which is a surprisingly dangerous combination. She’s been one of my OCs for a decade and I still love her.

Omg I already love her 🥺

Chapter I: A Record Of The Wreckage

Location: Creswell Region / Los Angeles City, Riverside District

Date: 13 February 2232

Perspective: Tyler Raith

Tyler shifted in the most uncomfortable metal chair that she had ever sat in and slowly blew out a sigh up at the brightly lit ceiling. She considered herself to be a patient person, she usually had no problems with waiting, but there was something about the enclosed and very well-lit train station that made her feel claustrophobic. Maybe it was because there were no windows. The lack of windows made sense, from a safety perspective, but that logic didn’t stop her from feeling like she couldn’t take a full breath. Another shift in the chair caused her ribs to twinge, and she promised herself to avoid Emily and Alex the next time she needed to work out some frustration. Having them cheer her on while she attacked a punching bag had been a good way to calm her mind, but her left ribcage was upset with her for all of the violent movement. Next time, she was going to grab her favorite twins and watch violent action movies instead. Maybe tonight, she’d talk the twins into having a cuddle session. That always cheered her up, and she’d earned herself a little cheering up. Especially after sitting in this awful chair for over half an hour.

🌹

Thank you for the ask, lovely anon! I’ve been on a Soundtrack kick lately, which has ridiculously long chapters, so here’s a nice long scene from the fourth chapter.

“Walk?” Tyler asked once they were standing outside. It didn’t really matter where the restaurant was in the district, he was sure they could both walk the distance with ease, and he didn’t want to sit in a confined car right now.

“Walk,” he agreed and let Tyler lead. She might have been a foot shorter than him, but her strides were quick without seeming rushed. They walked in silence at first, and it was a comfortable silence that didn’t need to be interrupted. Didn’t stop Matt from asking, “What’s your favorite color?”

“That’s a bit random.” Tyler squinted a little as she looked up at him, but she was smiling. Tyler had a nice smile, he decided. Bright and unrestrained, like even her simple facial expressions couldn’t help but be honest.

“We’re friends, and friends know things about each other. So, favorite color?” he asked again. He could hear Tyler laughing as she reached over to lace her arm through his, and they bumped against each other as they settled into a rhythm while walking down the sidewalk.

“When I was in primary, I told my teacher that my favorite color was brown. Because I liked gardening with my neighbor, and dirt is brown. So, my young mind associated the color brown with an activity that made me happy. Then my teacher told me that brown couldn’t be my favorite color, and I argued with her until I got sent home for the day.” Tyler told the story seriously, pulled them across the street and down another sidewalk, and then glanced up at him with a smile.

“Your favorite color is brown?” he asked her. It wasn’t a common answer, not really, but it wasn’t the weirdest thing he had ever heard. He’d had conversations with Jimmy at three in the morning, and nothing could top the weirdness of those conversations.

“No, it’s green. Like a healthy dark green, but I always think of that primary teacher when someone asks about my favorite color. It wasn’t the last time I got sent home for arguing with a teacher, but you always remember the first time,” she said with a full laugh this time.

If you could choose only one song to define each of your ocs and their pairings, what songs would you choose?

This is playing dirty. You know I love music and playlists! This took a lot of thinking, for some of the pairings, but it was so much fun to do because you know I listened to all of the songs while answering this. I know it isn't part of the ask, but I'm going to include the why too. Thank you so much for the ask!!

Soundtrack Of The Revolution [fandom: my chemical romance & avenged sevenfold]

Tyler Raith & Gerard Way [otp: you're beautiful to me]

I Don't Love You by My Chemical Romance

when you go / would you have the guts to say / i don't love you / like i loved you / yesterday

Okay, hear me out. I realize this isn't the song that would normally be used to serenade the person that you're madly in love with, but it makes sense within the context of the story. To the point that this is considered their song even before anything romantic ever happens between them.

Things Are Getting A Little Hazy [fandom: buffy the vampire slayer]

Grace Blackburn & Eliot Greenwood [otp: crawling through fire]

NFWMB by Hozier

when i first saw you / the end was soon - give your heart and soul to charity / 'cause the rest of you / the best of you / honey, belongs to me

From Eliot's perspective, the first time he sees Grace is the first sign of his current life ending. The whole song makes me think of them, because either one of them could sing it to the other and it would ring true.

Starving Faithful [fandom: fast & furious series]

Kat Ellis & Jakob Toretto [otp: what took you so long?]

Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor feat. John Legend

in the blink of an eye / just a whisper of smoke / you could lose everything / the truth is you never know

They've both lost loved ones and know that any moment could be their last, especially with the kind of lives they lead, so this song just feels perfect for them.

Memento Series [fandom: dceu / snyderverse / suicide squad]

Ryan Lopez & Bruce Wayne [otp: mutually assured destruction]

Wicked Game by Grace Carter

the world was on fire / and no one could save me but you / it's strange what desire / will make foolish people do - now / i don't wanna fall in love / no / i don't wanna fall in love / with you

The start of their relationship is not an easy one, even after they discover each other's secrets. Ryan doesn't want to love Bruce, doesn't want to love anyone, and neither does Bruce. At first. This song definitely fits the first act of their relationship.

Revina Revnic & Rick Flag [otp: need you closer]

Play With Fire by Sam Tinnesz feat. Yacht Money

insane, inside / the danger gets me high / can't help myself / got secrets i can't tell - now you're gonna know us / hail to the king and queen of the ruckus

I feel like this one speaks for itself, but I love Rev and Rick so I'll explain anyway. They've got a crazy job, leading Task Force X, but they excel at it because they both love the danger. (Rev also kinda likes setting things on fire.) I also think "king and queen of the ruckus" sums up their relationship perfectly.

Kit Kelley & Harley Quinn [otp: living for your love]

One Call Away by Charlie Puth

cause you know / i just wanna see your smile / no matter where you go / know you're not alone - superman got nothing on me / i'm only one call away

Kit would literally do anything for Harley. All she has to do is ask. He doesn't even care that his best friend is technically responsible for keeping Harley in prison. If Harley asked him to break her out, he would do it without a second thought. Their relationship makes me so happy, and this song fits them so well. I just picture the two of them dancing and laughing in the middle of some destruction, preferably with Superman and Batman scowling somewhere in the distance, whenever I hear this song.

[raith-way]

📷 Ryan! And my girl Tyler lol

Thank you for the ask!! I’m glad you added Ryan since I did Rev’s earlier, and you know how much I love my Tyler. Thanks again!!

10, 9 and 5 for Soundtrack of the Revolution

Thank you for the ask!! I love this story, it’s literally my oldest story of all-time, so I’m always happy to ramble about it for a bit.

10: Why did you choose this pairing for this particularly story?

I mean, have you seen Gerard Way? You have to remember, the main pairing was first chosen back in 2009. In the original version, the main pairing was also more of a SI!OC and Gerard. At this point, I’m choosing to keep the main pairing as Tyler and Gerard because they’ve earned each other. (I mean that in the best way possible.) In this strange twisted alternate universe story dressed up as a tour fic, Tyler and Gerard have both suffered and struggled. They’re going to continue to fight against the way that their world is, and they deserve happiness. It’s not destiny. It’s not love at first sight. (It’s not even lust at first sight.) They’re going to earn each other’s love, one day at a time.

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

So many. The version being posted is the fourth version, I think? The first version was written in first perspective, and it was a collaborative effort between myself and the amazing friends I had made through a few years of writing band fics back in the early 2000s. The second version switched to third perspective and had some of the chosen bands changed. The third version changed the bands, again, and the main character had a name change. This version, the one that’s being posted, is going to be the final version because I can’t rewrite it again. All of the original characters have had name changes, background changes, and even endgame pairing changes. (With the exception of the main pairing. That’s never changed.) Even the bands have changed, for a final time. The one thing that has remained the same throughout the entirety of the differing versions, is that My Chemical Romance and Avenged Sevenfold are the main bands of the fic.

5: What part was hardest to write?

Right now, the most difficult thing is writing the moments leading up to the tour. In all of the other versions, the tour started by the third chapter and after less than ten thousand words. I’m trying to take my time, to explore the world and the characters, and it’s so difficult because I just want to get to the good stuff. I want to write the story properly though, so I’m making myself take it slow.
