Just an absolute whore for RvB

Chapters: 3/22 Fandom: Red vs. Blue Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Summary: Blood Gulch Center for United Nations Transmission Schooling is a very normal school, by the standards of outer colonies in 2577. Boring, even - that’s the thing about life on a ringworld, barren and detached even 24 years of human colonization after the eradication of Flood remnants and, consequently, all life from these once lovingly-cultivated oases of biodiversity from across the galaxy. Its students jump at a chance for some teenage rebellion at a party away from the lovingly omnipresent supervision of F.I.L.S.S., and to meet the legendarily reclusive students from the colony’s enigmatic military school. They get a bit more excitement than they bargained for.

Okay, so I’ve been working on this a few months and I’m very excited to post it! Next few chapters coming very soon. 

This is like 60% teenage all-girl boarding school dyke drama and 40% eco/cosmic/body horror weird sci-fi. The Southern Reach, The Rest is Silence, and Lost in particular live in my brain forever so that may give you an idea of the kind of weirdness we’re buckling in for here.

The Blood Gulch crew are teen girls for the simple reason that when I was a teenage loser lesbian I liked to imagine little stories with my faves all being queer girls and I’m writing those plot bunnies here. Also because I think “all-girls boarding school with sinister secrets” is the best setting of all time.

Plus, there’s supposed to be a little bit of an homage to, like, those iconic children’s/YA series with awesome young protagonists like Nancy Drew, A Series of Unfortunate Events, or Animorphs and their combination of grim happenings and/or serious themes with the plucky, relentlessly optimistic commitment of childhood to believing radical positive change is possible and that The Way Things Are is not The Way Things Must Always Be and finding the beauty and wonder in things adults have learned are strange and therefore frightening.
