Logan Mitchell lived his whole life in San Antonio, Texas. Kendall Knight of Duluth, Minnesota road tripped through the summer after graduating and decided to stop at a rodeo. There, he saw Logan ride and was floored by the athleticism and the bright joy that sparkled from the other teen. He waited at the gate afterward to be able to tell Logan just how great he was in the event. Once face-to-face, however, he was floored all over again by the dimples. And the accent. And the way the Texas stars twinkled in those sweet brown eyes.
Entry #2 for @myloveforhergoeson's #btrauweek25: Something didn't happen (Logan never moved to Minnesota)
I'M A DAY LATE, BUT HERE IS MY DAY ONE OF THE BTR AU WEEK THINGY! I FINISHED THIS A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEN FORGOT IT WAS SEPTEMBER 1ST YESTERDAY LMAOOO
KOGAN - PRINCE! LOGAN X KNIGHT! KENDALL
Summary: Kendall didn’t care much for the title. If anything, it was confusing. Knight Kendall Knight. That’s far too many “Knight’s” in one name. But it surely came with its advantages. Especially since nobody was allowed in the prince's chambers while Kendall was “guarding the door,” and based on the long line of locked doors that led to the prince’s, a guarding knight was frankly unnecessary.
So, Kendall got to fall asleep and wake up next to Prince Logan every day.

Unfortunately I don't have an actual written piece, but I do have ideas for a college au (just the set up so far). being a scientist is hard guys 😭
Logan: obviously pre-med major. Threatens to get new friends twice a week but never does. Here on scholarship, which no one is surprised about.
James: I hate to say it, but bc of Brooke, business major, but a French minor (partially as an excuse to study abroad away from his mother, and partially to get girls). He's in the choir too. Not here on scholarship, his parents are just rich.
Carlos: talks about changing his major all the time. He'd be an astro major if he was any good at math, but he's not, so he's a history major, for a hot minute because he likes learning new things like it's a story. He did switch out of history halfway through his freshman year because he didn't like some of the people the major attracted. So now he's floating around the gender studies/ art history sphere until he has to pick sophomore year, and when he does he ends up in some shit like medieval studies. He also is the one who most often victimizes the dorm hall kitchen with his recent cooking escapades. Intramural sports are his best friend. He's there on loans, but his family is supportive and willing to help out when needed for cosigning and such.
Kendall: [insert Up meme here] hmm... physics major but with some fuckass minor in like chemistry or something else equally as weird. (I cannot see him as an astronomy major, I'm sorry. I tried. I'm not a physics major but he's definitely the one in the friend group who once a semester is halfway to a breakdown over math, yet he never changes his major over it.) He's there on a hockey scholarship, so he has to play and keep his grades up, adding an extra layer of stress to his plate.
Their freshman year, Kendall and James are roommates, Logan's roommate is Jett and they hate each other but they just avoid each other and deal with it, and no one has ever seen Carlos's roommate. They're not sure he exists. Every year after that the four get a four person suite together, with Logan and Kendall on one side, and James and Carlos on the other. Jett was in the choir with James, which is how they met Logan, and Carlos just kinda started talking to them one day bc he's a very outgoing person.

my entry for day 5 of @myloveforhergoeson 's #btrauweek25 is a direct continuation of what i wrote for day 1 of the challenge. (eventually both parts will be combined on ao3 as one fic)
btr never becomes a thing, but james still gets a record deal.
[warnings for language+suggestive humor in part 1 & a fatphobic joke in part 2]

They had the meeting in the venue's box office. Four friends on a tiny loveseat before the two execs holding James' future in their hands.
"Just so you know," said Gustavo Rocque. "That audition? Sucked."
James blinked. "I … I know?"
"I mean, really and truly, everything about it: tone, dynamics, phrasing, stage presence, it was all crap!"
"OkI'mawarethankyou!" James' face heated up. "So why did you call us back, exactly?"
Gustavo's assistant, Kelly, told Gustavo to Wait with one glowing brown French-tipped hand on his chest. She spoke to James. "We were impressed by your gesture--"
"The bribe worked!" Carlos blurted.
"That wasn't a bribe!" the guys said.
"That was a pitiful bribe," Gustavo said. "I budget more than that for lunch." He looked around at them in his mirrored glasses. "Every day."
Kendall coughed something very audible about how they all could tell.
Kelly sighed.
Gustavo stared at Kendall for a hard moment, then blurted at the top of his lungs, "And that is precisely why we called YOU," he pointed at James without looking, "James, back. Thank GOODNESS you're not a group. There's always jerks like HIM," he continued, addressing Kendall, "in those." He turned around and started rummaging through the box office desk.
"It was a pitiful bribe," Gustavo repeated, "but a kind gesture from someone with promise. I need kind individuals on the roster. It is 1999 and I am so over groups and egos." He found the papers he was looking for and blindly shoved them at Logan. "Go over that contract so we can sign in an hour."
It took a sec for it to register.
Then James' friends couldn't stop cheering for him.
James was stunned. He asked if there was a way to fax his mom.
A/N: for @myloveforhergoeson BTR AU Writers week I think that’s what it’s called idk, I’ve finally decided to reveal the story I’ve been wanting to talk about for years and since KOTNB Turned 2 a week ago I’ve decided to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of KOTNB by revealing how Sunny Met Logan also this is for AU Purposes! Also i know that the free story thingy is on a Saturday but I decided to post it early (cause I got ALOT of stuff on Saturday Lol) so here’s the origin story of how Sunny Met Logan
Seabrook 2023
Sunny Starscout was ready to leave maretime bay to go to the human world, when she got there let’s just say...she freaked out
“AHHHHH! H-How D-Did I become a human, Okay I got Human Arms, Human Hands And Feet, Now how do I walk?” Sunny Said until she first stood up until she tumbled and yelped until that’s when a figure walked up to her
“Hey don’t freak out, I’m Here, Welcome To Seabrook” Logan said with his signature smile while putting his hand out for sunny
Sunny Said “I’m Sunny Starscout, I’m from the pony world, yeah I know it’s crazy saying that I came from a world of ponies when I am a pony in that wor-” “The Pony World? That’s actually pretty cool. I remember a person who was also from the pony world, her name was sunset. God how I miss her, she would make me cookies while I babysat hers and her husband’s kids” Logan Said until he noticed how sunny was different from the Aliens, Zombies, Humans and Werewolves in Seabrook
“Why don’t I take you as my own?” Logan Said While Patting Sunny’s shoulder In Which She Said “R-Really? That Would be Great um” “Logan, Logan Henderson, I’m From a Boyband Called Big Time Rush” Logan Said “Big Time Rush? That’s an Awesome Band Name, I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here at Seabrook” Sunny Said
