    Summary

    Sunny is vain, vindictive, and tortured by a past he can't make peace with. He hates himself and everyone else and crawls through college at his mom's and stepfather's behest, having drifted away from his friends back home like Kel, Aubrey, and the Hooligans, even if the first two are in the same school now. Meds and alcohol can only take him so far, though, and he knows it. However, the looming date in his mind and the plan he's settled on are about to be disrupted by a chance encounter with a blue-eyed, blond weirdo he's certain he's never met before in his life--but there's never really such a thing as chance.

    Summary

    “He did ask if I wanted to visit the city, and I thought maybe… maybe I shouldn’t go alone.”

    “Absolutely no way,” Aubrey says. “I am not getting involved in you two’s bullshit. Especially not now.”

    ***

    Sunny lives ten hours away. Hero lives four hours in the opposite direction. But what's an eighteen hour road trip between friends, right?

    Summary

    Finally, Sunny says, “I’m moving out.”

    Aubrey flicks a green onion from her finger. Much less life-altering than she’d been expecting.

    Basil doesn’t seem to agree.

    ***

    Several months post-road-trip, Sunny comes closer. Consequences vary.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    WOw
    I haven't sat down to read fic in a very, very long time. Even after finishing this fic, I only just realized that there are two prequels that i will be reading possibly tomorrow.

    I really loved this fic. the characterisation of sunny&basil is really good and brought the interactions alive. initially, I was skeptical as I didnt enjoy post good ending fics that much but reading this felt like falling in love with this cast of characters again for the first time.

    I came for the sunflower, but the characterisation of aubrey and kim really stood out amongst the rest. I never really enjoyed Kimbrey, so this is probably the first fic to have me invested in this pairing. I really, really liked it, even if I had to infer their history quite a bit( this is a fault on my end, cuz I hadn't realised that there wete two prequel fics)

    I really liked sunny and basil's argument on the rooftop and the fallout of that also impacting aubrey and kim.

    one complaint (that I have with myself) is that it was hard to comprehend or visualise the narrative location (is this the word? maybe its setting or backdrop) and situation at points of the fic. at certain points I knew what the characters were doing but not where & why or if it was happening within the same timeframe as the last paragraph (once again I think this is a skill issue on my end. i'll re-read again and update this bookmark.)

     

    I type like ass (sorry!!!)
     

    10/10 fic, I will reread this over and over again. this revived my love for this fandom

    Summary

    Sunny isn’t in love with his stalker.

    No, not at all. How could he? He could never fall for that bright, blond head. Those nauseating blue eyes. His pale skin. His lithe, supple body… His little cries… His bare, slumped shoulders… His hesitant yet soft smile…

    Fuck.

    Summary

    Sunny has been gone for two years. Sunny has never left. He haunts his hometown and it haunts him right back, frozen pale as a hospital room. His friends wander the streets and Basil wanders his dreams, and it's all exactly the same, except it's not, and it never will be again.

    Two days after Christmas, Sunny comes back to Faraway Town.

    Summary

    It's not easy having no friends AND being queer while living in a religious town, so Basil and Aubrey have it rough when they start fake dating to cover for their own identities. However, things might change for both of their lives when some new people turn up at school.

    For Sunny and Mari, moving to Faraway from the city is a pretty big change. But perhaps it's one for the better.

    Summary

    In a small town like Faraway, outliers weren’t hard to spot, and the residents of Basil’s highschool made sure to remind him of that every day. Whether it be by being mean to him outright, or whispering about him in secret, Basil had always known he wasn’t exactly the same as everyone else. He had always known that the things he liked or the ways he acted or the things he felt weren’t “normal.”

    He and his friends were okay with that until highschool- the kids there were meaner, and Basil found that as the days went by, he couldn’t help but feel more and more separated from everyone- especially Sunny. Noticing Sunny trying to distance himself felt horrible… and the sudden new familiarity he was starting to gain with the flowers he had always loved so much as a result wasn't a huge help, either.

    OR: Highschool Hanahaki AU where neither Basil nor Sunny can seem to catch a break (or their breath) in regards to the other.

    Summary

    “We’ll be spending this week in our friend Sunny’s house, documenting his life as a,” Kel pauses from dramatic effect, wiggling his fingers in a wordless plea for Aubrey to zoom in onto his face.

    She does, then shoots him a thumbs-up.

    Satisfied, Kel continues. “Vampire!” For emphasis, he growls at the camera, then bares his teeth. “That’s right! Our friend Sunny is a real life, no cap, no bullshit, no prank, no artificial intelligence vampire and we’ll be using him to test several vampire myths!"

     

    Or: Kel is an aspiring youtuber/myth buster who wants to expose his friend Sunny's undead status to the whole world - except nobody bothered to tell him he got the wrong guy and the actual vampire, Basil, is a few feet away, tending to some flowers.

    Sunny isn't skeptical of Basil when he asks to borrow a shirt the first time it happens. In fact, he's happy to lend his friend something when he's clearly in need.

    But when it ends up happening four consecutive times after that, he starts to wonder if there's any other meaning to his intentions.

    In which; an oblivious Sunny tries to understand why Basil's taken such an interest in wearing his clothes.

    Sunny knows what he wants. He tilts his head, steering Basil’s lips down his jaw and to his neck. Basil doesn’t know what he wants, just that he *wants*. He whispers, "please, please,” in between kisses. ‘Please, what?’ Sunny thinks, but doesn’t ask.

    Basil saw it. Heard it. Lies spewed from anger and frustration, enough to tear apart the one they were aimed at. Coming from his friend to an even closer friend. A mistake. A near death. Hope, being dashed.

    What else could he do but run?

    We pick petals to know who loves us and who doesn't, but without them, the flower's fragile heart lays vulnerable. Should it survive, it needs to learn how to brave the tough world, lest it wither away.

    Summary

    There was something nostalgic about the suburbs. How quaint the little town of Faraway felt. It was there they would grow up and learn to be people. Through each and every memory they shared. Basil knew this well, and being as sentimental as he was, he wanted to experience life with Sunny. He wanted to help him through the rough times and share the perfect little moments. Because life for them was tough and imperfect, but they still could have hope for the future.

    Maybe they could discover what it meant to live the suburban dream.

    Summary

    It began, like with many things, a blinding light. Cutting through the grim gray of the afternoon sky, bouncing off rusty warehouse walls and reaching out for Sunny with what he could only describe as a desperation. Metal crates overturned, dry grass lit on fire, a brilliance grasping at Sunny's pale wrists, rearranging his soul like a Rubik's cube with one touch. Even in the moment, in the haze of the 5:00pm confusion, Sunny was vaguely aware that the light was a life-changing force.
