#polyphantoms

Alex has been told that the world has become more accepting but it doesn’t really hit him until he sees just how many people gather at a pride parade. He’s been trying to catch up to more of the modern terms & labels (especially because I believe in genderfuckery Willie…) so he knew conceptually that it’s all expanded but still. So many people, so happy to show off their true selves. It’s not perfect but it’s more than he’s dreamed of.

I know the terms for bi/pan have existed for a while but I don’t think Reg and Luke would’ve had those labels for themselves. The official flags that we know today weren’t even established yet back then. Reggie would be so happy to be matching colors with Julie (bi siblings forever). Also in support of Bisexual Ray agenda… Probably the first openly queer adult any of them have actually met (if you can count haunting as ‘meeting’).

It’s not like the ghosts can be seen by others but just to get the chance to be at pride events and witness it all… they deserve that much.

Now they just need someone to teach them about polyamory what ⁉️ who said that…

Already made a post about one of these but since the fandom isn't too active on ao3 anymore... please forgive a little self promo 🙏

Silly me decided I could work on three at a time while the hyperfixation is strong, so! Whoopsies :D Here are all my ongoing ones:

1. Julie plays ghost matchmaker for Alex and Willie post-canon, updates every Wednesday (fingers crossed) and supposedly going to have a PeterPatter sequel when it's done...

2. PolyPhantoms with a little push from Julie and Willie, it's going to have alternating POV. Established Juke and Willex, exes-to-friends-to-lovers Lalex, and longtime pining Reggie.

3. Pure family vibes, Ray finds out that the Phantoms are really ghosts and Reggie, best boy of all time, tries to be normal about it (not successfully. please just let him have a good dad he deserves it)

This week's fic is one whose title I can never remember (I'm sorry, darling) because it will always affectionably be known as "the fruity fic" to me. You'll figure out why. (Warning: Fruits were harmed in the making of this fic.)

and I never saw you coming by merihn/@merihn

Everything is going fine, or so Luke thinks; he has a super hot girlfriend*, the band is taking off, and his mom has stopped trying to convince him to give up music and go to college. It doesn’t last.

(Polyphantoms, T, 20k) *no the girlfriend is not Julie

This fic still reigns supreme when it comes to chaotic teenage Luke idiocy and it's a ride and a riot and most beloved. Nothing has ever been more idiots to lovers than Luke doggedly trying to pick up girls while actually being in love with his best friends Reggie and Alex.

It takes him a while to get there.

You're gonna shake your head and cry laughing and yell at Luke through the screen and you will love every second.

Summary:

Reggie's friends cause and then support him through a sexuality crisis. A sort of-ish, not-quite gender crisis. And a polyamory crisis.

I’m a big fan of “non-traditional” dynamics,,,

Luke Reggie and Alex all being omegas who help each other through their heats with no alpha needed 👀

Okay but my brain immediately thought of like 'NO IT'S MY TURN TO WEAR THE FAKE KNOT'. (Of course they only have one that shit is expensive.)

i had time to think it all over (and all i can say is come closer)

“Luke’s eyes trail between the blushes on his friends’ faces—the outward evidence that they’re flirting, right in front of him—and, even though he was the one to suggest it, to witness it with his own two eyes, suddenly he feels his own face flush red, for a different reason.

Unexplainable anger coils its way up his spine as his body stiffens, almost as if he’s preparing for a fight. Preparing to lash out — but at what? Why does he feel angry?"

Or: three times a member of sunset curve thought their bandmates were dating, and the one time they were right.
