A Queen modern day college AU series

Pairings: Brian May x Reader, John Deacon x Reader

Premise: The year is 2019, and you attend Imperial College London with your best friend, Brian May. His band, Queen, is an up-and-coming rock and roll group, still just on the brink of fame. When a Tinder dating profile dare goes wrong, Brian ends up smitten by your skanky roommate. But little does Brian know that you’re desperately in love with him, and little does he know just how far you’ll go to make him jealous…even if it means involving the band’s newest prospective bassist, a freshman named John Deacon.

Word Count (by part): 10k

Warnings: drinking-related ailments, cursing as per usual, explicit sexual scenes (SMUT 18+ ONLY), so much angst :(

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction and is not intended to be taken as truth or fact. I do not claim to own Brian May, John Deacon, Queen, or any other affiliated names or fictional events. Please note that in this alternate universe, some facts and traits of Queen and its members will be modernized and fictionalized for the sake of the story. Other details, such as locations and events, are also fictionalized. By clicking the “read more” button, you are consenting that you are 18 years or older.

A/N: As per request, I have indicated the start and end of the sexual scenes of this chapter. This way, anyone who is reading Matters of the Heart and is uncomfortable reading explicit scenes will be able to enjoy the series without discomfort. From now on, the beginning of sexually explicit scenes will be indicated by one asterisk (*) and the end of these scenes will be indicated by two asterisks (**). 

If you haven’t yet, please read this post—a message to you all, as my readers and followers, from me, as the author of this fanfiction series. I believe it is very important that everyone read my message and understand what you can expect from me and my story from here on out.

Thank you all SO INCREDIBLY MUCH for helping me reach 300 notes on MOTH ch8 in less than 24 hours!! I am so excited that you all are enjoying the development of this story :) This next chapter is…the heaviest work of fiction I have ever written. I don’t think I’d ever cried writing a fanfic the way I cried writing this one. I highly recommend reading while listening to ‘i love you’ by Billie Eilish on repeat, while this rain soundtrack plays in the background. 

Oh, also, this chapter is absolutely littered with Billie Eilish song lyrics and references (because I am Billie trash) so I’d love to see how many of those you guys can catch ◡̈ 

Thank you to all of you who have participated in the MOTHverse by commenting, sending messages/asks, and creating art/moodboards/playlist/reviews/etc!

((Oh, also, even if you haven’t read MOTH (which you should!!) you could read this chapter as a standalone….the smut…..ITS GOOD))

   “Uggggghhhhh.”

    You wake with a long groan. The room is dark—for which your tired eyes are grateful—but much too cold. Chills wrack your body, which, strangely enough, feels slick with a cold sweat. You reach down to pull the covers back up, and the action feels as fatiguing as if you’d just run a marathon.

   God. What happened last night?
