is ke$ha on here? 👄

Summary: Stars burn bright. For a time. Beca makes a deal when she’s 19 that changes the course of her life.

Hiya! New Bechloe fic. Inspired by Mike Flanagan's take on The Fall of the House of Usher - specifically the personification of Death.

This one kind of got away from me and ended up coming in at a whopping 24,494 words. I hope you enjoy. I meant to make some edits to reference some of the events in the fic, but I'm a little pressed for time with the holidays coming up.

Summary: PP2, but an AU where Beca already knows Chloe has experimented plenty and Chloe is shocked by this revelation. Basically a rewrite of the retreat scene. from @bobby-lynnes-bra: i always thought it would be funny if beca responded to the experimentation comment with “chloe what are you talking about, you’ve slept with multiple women in college already”

It’s not Chloe’s brightest idea but it’s…convenient that she and Beca are quite literally being forced to speak to each other in this cramped, confined space. And besides, Chloe is surrounded by the people she loves most (and the woman she’s most in love with) in the world. What could go wrong?

After Beca’s hasty refusal of Chloe’s generous backrub, Chloe changes tactics. She can hear Aubrey’s voice in her head already, calling her desperate, but she kind of is. She feels, simultaneously, that Beca is drifting away in more ways than one and with the end of the semester looming in a mildly horrific proximity, Chloe has run out of options.

She will make sure Beca knows, at least at a very base level, that Chloe wants to kiss her so very badly. She hasn’t thought of much else past this.

“You know Beca, we’re very close, but I think that this retreat is really gonna let us discover everything about each other.” 

“Is that right?”

“You know…one of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t do enough experimenting in college.”

Beca’s nose crinkles. “You’re so weird. What are you talking about? What about all those girls you slept with in my sophomore year? And that one hookup that kept coming back last year.” 

The air whooshes out of Chloe’s lungs at that revelation. “Wait, you know about all that?”

Notes: Quick couple of things - Firstly, I’m going to be away next Monday so won’t be able to post chapter six that day. I can try and post on Sunday instead if I’m able, but if I’m not then the next chapter will be out 03/07.

Secondly, I’ve been getting some spam comments on my most recent chapter. I didn’t pick up on it until 2 of the accounts used the exact same comment down to the punctuation. I’ll be reporting any that crop up, but if it becomes an issue I might have to limit the commenting to AO3 members only. That’ll be a last resort though.

Summary: When Beca gets the call that it’s time to come home, she’s forced to face all those things she ran away from fourteen years ago, including her former best friend Chloe Beale. 

Notes: so here we go again! I feel like I haven’t posted anything in forever, and that’s because I’ve spent the last few months working on this thing. Well, it’s finally finished! Usually I go into my fics with a solid plan but I didn’t with this one. I knew what I wanted the story to be about, and then I just started writing so I could see where it took me. It went in some directions I wasn’t anticipating, but all in all I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

The full fic is finished, so I’ll be posting a chapter every Monday until it’s all out.

Full disclosure, it's going to be a pretty heavy one. It deals with parental death, and some chapters will contain talk of suicide and alcoholism. I’ll tag each chapter with the relevant trigger warnings, but those are the things to be aware of before you start reading. 

It’s also very Beca-centric and two of the major characters are OCs, so if that’s not your bag then feel free not to read. 

I think that’s all the housekeeping notes out of the way, so all that’s left to say is enjoy!
