I couldnât agree more! Why is there so little representation??? So I wrote my own Skam Canada on AO3 đ Ji-hun James Min (Even) is an adopted, South Korean pansexual, bipolar sweetheart who loves reading, art, and his boyfriend Noah. He hates physical activity, the word ânormalâ, and the way Noah washes dishes. â¤ď¸
This takes place during Jamesâ season of Skam Canada, on the same day that James promposes to Noah at the swimming pool. Iâm so happy that more change is being made to make Toronto more inclusive. The flying of the pride flag for the Toronto Catholic District School Board was announced on May 7th. Iâm happy to make this addition to the canon universe.

Noah smiled at the tv. Next him Elijah was clapping, a proud grin on his face as the CP24 announced what theyâd been waiting to here.Â
âThe Toronto Catholic District School Board will now fly the pride flag for Pride Month starting June 1st as voted on by the board of trustees.â
It was something a lot of people were pushing for, and yet many thought would never happen. Not all Torontonians would be happy about this, but Noah was. Noah didnât realize how much it meant to him until the âyesâ vote came in.Â
Noah glance at Elijah, and the older boy stood up with a happy hum on his tongue.
âSee, Cupcake,â he said, ruffling Noahâs hair as he walked away. âChange.âÂ
He followed him with his eyes as he walked into the kitchen and out of sight. His phone buzzed on the sofa cushion and he reached for it. It was the Brozzz group chat.Â

Itâs almost October and James is finally feeling settled in at the apartment, but thereâs still one thing heâs not used to just yet-- Noahâs late nights. Set between the Extras âSeptemberâ and âOctoberâ.
If you havenât read Skam Canada on A03 what are you doing?! The Canadian Isak (Noah) and Even (James) seasons are complete, including 20+ extras still being updated! Plus exclusive content here on my Tumblr! Join the mini fandom folks! https://archiveofourown.org/works/25685800
James was getting used to living with Noah at the apartment. In fact, he was already feeling at home amongst the roommates. It helped, he supposed, that heâd already spent many days with Noah at the loft. He was getting used to sharing a space, and chores, and food. He didnât have to get used to sharing a bed, that seemed to come naturally to them. But one thing he never thought heâd get used to was Noahâs late nights.Â
âNoah,â James called out to him with a whine. His boyfriend was typing away at a lab report due in the next few days, the screen of his computer glowing blue in the dark room. It wasnât that his late nights were annoying. James had a magical ability that let him fall asleep anywhere at anytime; Noah was the one with sleep issues. No, his problem with the boyâs late nights was the empty side of the bed heâd gotten used to being filled over the summer.Â
âNoah,â he tried again. âCome to bed. Itâs one in the morning.âÂ
But Noah chose to ignore him.Â
Laying with his fingers laced over his chest, James tried a different tactic.Â
âAnthony.â
At that the younger boy turned his head over his shoulder with a raise brow.Â
âWhat did you just call me?âÂ
âCome to bed, Anthony.â
âItâs such an ugly name,â Noah clicked his tongue, returning back to his typing. âEven you canât make it sound nice.â
âWhatâs so bad about it?â
âIt mediocre at best.â
Sighing, James rolled his eyes at his boyfriendâs inability to set a proper sleep schedule for himself.Â
âNoah Anthony Olsen,â James said sounding out each syllable. âIt suits you.âÂ
âFlattery will get you nowhere, Ji-hun.â
James went to say something but shut his mouth. Noah had never called him by his Korean name before. It caught him off guard, and he had no witty response for him.
âCome again?âÂ
Noah kept his eyes on his work as he repeated, âJi-hun,â with a sweet tone, tasting the way it sounded. It made Jamesâ cheeks blush although the other boy couldnât see him. His mother was really the only person who called him that, and it was usually in serious moments as she tended to stick with Jamie for everything else. But hearing it come from Noah made his heart skip a little.
Instead of speaking again, James found himself smiling as he turned onto his side. Heâd let Noah win this round, but he mustâve only had his eyes closed for a minute before the light from Noahâs laptop was shut off. The room plunged into darkness save for the sliver of light coming in from cracks in the closed curtains. Soon enough, the comforter shifted and Noah was slipping in under the covers. He exhaled as his head hit the pillow.
Sometimes James wondered why Noah worked so hard. Why heâd stay up into the early morningâ two, three, even four sometimes. But even though they lived together, James still didnât know everything about his boyfriend. Their one year anniversary was coming up soon in a month and James still didnât know the whole story behind Noahâs mother and father. Maybe heâd learn soon, or maybe heâd just figure it out. Noah didnât do well with vocalizing his feelings. Give James a couple of months, maybe a year, and he was positive he could change that. Sometimes people just needed to right words to say and the right people to listen.Â
He reached across the small space between them and laid his arm across Noahâs stomach. The younger boy sighed softly as James nuzzled his face into his neck. His fingers ran though Jamesâ hair soothingly.Â
Another small extra about Noah and James! If you havenât read Skam Canada yet, hereâs a link. Let me plug myself a tad. Â https://archiveofourown.org/works/25685800
James was sitting at the desk in their bedroom when Noah called his name from the living room. His eyes flickered from his essay to the open door before he typed out his last sentence.
âJames!â His name came again, this time drawn out with a whine. Pressing his lips together, he smiled to himself at the sound of the other boyâs voice. Standing up, he walked out of the room and moved down the hall until he was leaning against the entrance of the living room.Â
âYou called?âÂ
Noah was curled up under a blanket watching tv, lazily putting off the stack of textbooks on the coffee table in front of him. His looked over to him with big, brown eyes and a sweet smile. He lifted the blanket and patted the sofa.Â
âCome here.â James raised his brow at him. âPleaseeeeeee?â
Suppressing the flutter in his chest, he gave into the request and crossed the space until he was laying next to him. Noah hugged him, throwing his arms around the older boy. James pressed his face against his boyfriendâs neck, letting himself relax.Â
âI needed this,â James sighed, speaking his thoughts out loud. Noah just held him tighter.Â
Takes place a few days after semi-formal: Wed. Dec 16th, 2020 || 9:49pm
âLogan wants us to do a TikTok,â Noah told his boyfriend while he was on the phone with him. There was a pause on the other end of the line and then there was a hesitant,
â⌠Why?âÂ
Noah laughed, as he tucked the phone between his shoulder and his ear, using his hands to move his textbooks to his desk. ââCause heâs got one now and he thinks weâre, and I quote, âTikTok-able.â
There was another pause. âIs thatâŚgood?â
âWhat are you like fifty?â He teased, jumping back onto his now cleared mattress. âBabe, TikTokâs been a thing for at least a year now.â
âI know what it is,â James assured with a chuckle. âI do have a phone you knowâ this thing Iâm talking to you through?âÂ
âHmm,â Noah hummed with a smile. He was getting used to this whole âhaving a boyfriendâ thing. It also freaked him out, how much he liked it.Â
âDo you want to do a TikTok?âÂ
Noah snorted. âNo.â
âGood, you had me panicking for a second.â
âWould you have done it if I asked?â Noah asked, propping himself onto his elbows, a surprised grin of amusement pulling onto his features.Â
âProbably.âÂ
âFuck,â Noah cursed, playfully. âI should have said âyesâ.â
âWhatâs Logan doing on that app anyway?â
Falling back onto his back, Noah shrugged even though James couldnât see him. âI have no idea. I think Sophia made him do it, you know, so they could duet or whatever.âÂ
âThatâsâŚâ he hesitated to come up with a word. âWeird.â
âWhat? You donât want to share our love with millions of watchers through short clips of us dancing to annoying pop music?â
âHmm, let me think of that one. Thatâs going to be a ânoâ from me.âÂ
âToo bad, we could have been famous. TikTok Canada would have been quaking.â
âI hate this conversation,â James declared, but Noah could sense the smile on his face.Â
âIâm going to get the app just to piss you off.âÂ
âI will never trust you with a camera pointed at me again, you do know that right?âÂ
âYouâll never know when Iâll strike,â Noah continued. âOne day you might be plastered on billboards in Dundas Square in one of those TikTok ads.âÂ
âIâm going to hang up on you.â
âYouâd never,â Noah challenged, finding it embarrassing how his cheeks were hurting from smiling so much.

Arthur: won't become a surgeon, I hope he goes into art with Eliott (he mentions he's a good drawer in s5) Or he goes to work around the deaf community, helping teens that go through the same as him. He and Alexia will break up again after a year, deciding being friends won't work and they lose contact. Eventually Arthur finds a girl who's also deaf, they never marry since Arthur has a hard time dealing with that after his parents split. They end up adopting since Arthurs girlfriend can't get pregnant.
Yann: he will go to uni and stay friends with Emma, they will never be a couple again. When Chloe comes back to Paris for her own studies at uni, they will meet again and become a couple again. They'll stay together from that moment and both finish their studies, start working and two years after that: Chloe is pregnant with a little babygirl
Basile: he and DaphnĂŠ stay together. They both go to college and uni, start working but decide to leave Paris. They'll actually go to live near Bas' grandfathers farm (who's sadly dead by then for logical reasons). It means they both have to ride quite some time every morning to work but it's worth it. In their early thirties, they get a son. Lola will be his godmother and he's just as sassy as her.
Lucas: he and Eliott stay together of course. He goes to uni and they get a dog after a year or two. They'll always have communication issues but they talk about it a lot and they try to always understand both sides. They're happy together, they never move out of Paris but move out of their apartment eventually, knowing they will end up not having enough space. They move to a less noisy and less known neighborhood of Paris and in their late twenties, Eliott proposes to Lucas. Of course Lu says yes immidiately and they have a beautiful wedding in spring with le grew and la mif and their family. A couple years later they adopt two kids. He teaches their daughter how to play piano while their son is more interested in film and art.
Imane: She and Sofiane don't break up either, they have a wonderful vacation in Morocco. Imane goes to medical school and Sofiane ends up being a dance teacher (his students think he's so cool and love him). They get married in Morocco and have 3 kids. The 3 kids are a little sneaky and love their uncle Idriss who always teaches them pranks etc
DaphnĂŠ: she and her therapist work on her ed, it never fully disappears but she learns to deal with it. She goes to community college and ends up as a teacher at lycĂŠe. She moves with Basile near his grandpa's farm. She loves her son more than anything.
Alexia: after her final break with Arthur, she stay single for a long time. She goes to college with the others but also works as a part time as singer in a bar. She finds a job that gives her enough money to keep making music. In her late twenties she finds a girl who she'll end up loving more than anyone she loved before. They get married a year after elu and adopt two twin girls. She teaches them two guitare and piano. The two girls always play music together with Eliott and Lucas's daughter.
Emma: she ends up being a therapist (a bit like the one who works at lycĂŠe). She becomes colleagues with DaphnĂŠ and they have the time of their life seeing students grow up around them. One of them wants to re open the foyer and they both get emotional that day. A couple years later she reunites with Alex, who has changed a lot. They get along really well and they stay together. They never get married and have kids but they love each other so much.
Eliott: he eventually quits urbex, leaving the community to la mif. He finishes his studies and goes to work in the film industry. He forces Lucas (and later their kids) to watch an arthouse movie with him at least once in two weeks. They don't like it, especially the kids when they are teenagers and want to go out instead. They make Eliott sad with that attitude but Lucas is always there to hold his hand and say: don't worry, I'll always watch your shitty movies with you. He loves their dog and tried to go jogging with it but got too tired after like 1 kilometre. He proposes to Lucas at La Petite Ceinture. He basically puts lights around the whole bridge with the help of la mif and he proposes very cheesy of course. He loves their kids and he's the kind of dad that embarrasses them yet they'll love him unconditionally.
I might do a part 2 for la mif and more background characters but this was it for now. I won't do Manon et Charles for obvious reasons.
A list of Elu AUs I have no time to write rn but that would be amazing :
- Artists!AU...takes place in 19th century Paris, Lucas is a prestigious pianist and composer, Eliott is a sulfurous painter pushing the boundaries of art, they're both tortured souls driven by passion who just understand each other when nobody else does...everyone disapproves of their liaison...the scandal, the drama!!!!
- Reporters!AU in which they're both journalists (maybe it's the 70s?) working for rival newspapers who have to collaborate to unmask the political scandal of the era even though they disapprove of each other's methods. Ennemies to Lovers!! Lots of late night stakeouts ! The tension ! Aviator glasses and sepia tones !
- Sci-fi AU but make it slice of life ala Long Way to A Small Angry Planet - life on a spaceship full of rogues and runaways that become a found family and visit all sorts of weird planets. Eliott is the captain with a dark past, Lucas is the naive newcomer on the run from his family or some other pressing obligation. Several among the gang are aliens.
- Dystopia Fantasy AU in which magic is forbidden and Lucas works for the oppressive government but starts discovering his own powers and meets Eliott who leads him to the Resistance via the secret railways inside Paris.
Anyway I could go on forever my point is we really do not have enough Alternate Universes / genre fics in this fandom I really hope we're gonna get on that soon
POV: Youâre the son of the President of the United States and you have been sleeping with a prince. Your mother meets with you and these are her powerpoint slides. Â
Thank you for the books that have shaped me into who I am today @cassandraclare I believe in honestly, kindness, mercy, compassion and love because you have taught me to see the value in each one. Your characters have taught me that real heroes never give up and will fight for whatâs right. I cannot wait to read the next books â¤ď¸
Rafe held up his hands to be carried. Alec swung him up in his arms. Warlock hearts beat differently, and Alec was used to hearing the sound of Magnus and Maxâs hearts, infinitely steady and reassuring. It was odd, holding a child with a mortal heartbeat, but Alec was getting used to the new rhythm.
The evening sun was scorching on whitewashed walls of the street they were heading down. Their shadows were long behind them, but the town was still bright, and Alec saw for the first time that it could be lovely.
Occasionally Alec despaired: that the world couldnât be changed, or even that it wouldnât change fast enough. He was not immortal, and didnât want to be, but there were times he was afraid he wouldnât live long enough, that heâd never have the chance to take Magnusâs hands in front of everyone they loved and make a sacred promise. Â Â Â Â
At those times, there was an image Alec held against exhaustion or surrender, a reminder to always keep fighting for that day, for their day.
When he was gone, when he was dust and ashes, Magnus would still be walking through this world. If the world was changed for the better, then that unknowable future would be better for Magnus. Alec could imagine that on some scorching hot day like this, on a strange street in a strange land, Magnus might see something good that reminded him of Alec, some way that the world was changed because Alec had lived. Alec couldnât imagine what the world would be like then.
But he could imagine, in some faraway future, the face he loved best.
