Summary
The Franklin Players Ensemble have been scrambling to find a director for their usual spring Shakespeare production ever since the usual one went on sabbatical. Apparently she’s off in Ireland in some kind of year-long workshop in the middle of a forest. Josh personally thinks it’s a load of bullshit, but actors are just kind of- like that. They think suffering and intensity is what makes art. This is why Josh doesn’t touch that side of theater with a ten foot pole. He’s perfectly happy with his stress-based suffering and intensity, thank you very much.

Josh Dun has been working as a stage manager for nearly a decade now. He has a routine that he happily repeats for each show after another. He has a good friend group, an apartment that is perfect for him, and a dog that he adores. Sure it's a bit monotonous, but that’s how he likes it. Safe, repetitive, and warm.
Then award winning director Tyler Joseph returns from New York to direct the company’s production of Hamlet. Suddenly, Josh’s peaceful little bubble that he worked so hard to build is threatened.

Summary
Nick leans over. "Oh," he says, his voice smug. "Who is that?"
Harry just blinks at his phone. "Um," he manages to stammer out.
"Who's that, Harry?" Nick asks again, but this time he raises his eyebrows and smirks. Harry knows Nick is just teasing, and that he's not really looking for new Harry Styles gossip, but, um. He might have found something. Accidentally.
Harry opens his mouth to speak, but all that comes out is another 'um'. He really needs to work on translating his thoughts into words. But then it probably wouldn't be any help right now, would it? His mind is as blank as a newly erased etch-a-sketch.
"Oh," Nick says again, this time gleefully, seemingly having picked up on Harry's distress. "Looks like we've got a story here! Are you going to call or delete her number?"
Her number. So Nick thinks it's a girl. Well, Harry can't blame him: 'Lou' is kind of an androgynous nickname. His stylist's name is Lou.
But this Lou, well, Louis, he's kind of, really, really not a girl. He's really pretty though, which, is something.
(Or: AU where Harry's in One Direction, Louis isn't, and they reconnect over a game of 'Call or Delete'.)

Summary
Hermione said nothing, just huffed slightly, she stormed into the classroom taking her seat in the front leaving Harry to trail behind. Harry knew that Hermione was only trying to help him, but he couldn’t deal with it.
Harry had lived his whole life as the Boy Who Lived, his whole life being special by circumstance of his parents death. He just wanted to be normal, to go to class and to keep his head down. No one ever seemed to understand that, Ron wanted Harry to use his fame for everything, and Hermione lived for mystery and adventure. But Harry just wished it would all end.
----
Harry has one wish for his seventh year, he just wants for it to be normal, but of course he doesn't get what he wants. Because wherever Harry goes flowers sprout in his wake. It doesn't really become a problem until he starts coughing up these flowers.
Why can't he have one normal year?
