Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Euphoria (TV 2019) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Fezco/Lexi Howard Characters: Lexi Howard, Fezco (Euphoria), Ashtray (Euphoria), Maddy Perez, Cassie Howard Additional Tags: Lexi is Ash's middle school teacher AU Summary:

The thing is, she doesn’t even realize that Ash O’Neill cares that much about school in general -- much less about her class specifically -- until a random Thursday in early October when her 8th hour just won’t settle down and he stands up and says: 

“Yo, y’all really need to shut the fuck up right now. Ms. Howard’s up here tryna make sure none of y’all end up on the streets and you’re not making her job any fucking easier.” 

A Lexi is a middle school teacher, Fez is an older brother turned legal guardian, and Ash is just trying to get through middle school AU.

EUPHORIA 2.01 | 2.08

[alliecathayes]

Yeah, but like, why would you wanna waste time getting to know someone…if you don’t have anything in common with them?

I don’t know. That what I like about you the most, though.

Sometimes you have to see discourse and go “wow, so you don’t understand the character or the material” and then leave. For your own mental state.

We were really deprived of all the found family shenanigans of Fez, Lexi, Faye and Ashtray because Sam Levinson wanted to make art that was "dangerous" and "not boring." Like guess what Sam, there's nothing dangerous or unpredictable about writing even more tragedy for characters who already have a lifetime of suffering!!!!!

I'm seeing the post-finale explorations and AUs starting to roll in on ao3 and I just want all y'all to know how grateful I am for each and every one of them

FEZCO & LEXI — 2.06, A Thousand Little Trees of Blood

[optimisticynic]

Listen. I love Lexi, I want to give her a hug and tell her she's loved and definitely send her to a good therapist (all those kids need to go to therapy). I want her to live happily ever after on a farm with Fezco and their three kids and eight sheep and four horses and a very much alive Ashtray. I want her to know she's valued and talented and extraordinary, I want her to escape from her little traumatic corner of the world and live out all her writerly dreams.

But I just need to know what was possibly the reason for including that Cassie on the carousel scene in her play because that was a pretty heinous fucking move lol.

“Telling stories doesn’t solve anything, doesn’t reassemble broken lives. But perhaps it is a way of understanding the unthinkable. If a story haunts us, we keep telling it to ourselves, replaying it in silence while we shower, while we walk down streets, or in our moments of insomnia.”

HOW IT STARTED VS HOW ITS GOING: EUPHORIA EDITION

[optimisticynic]

Reading all these thoughtful, genuine discussions based on the actual experience of actual attorneys and real jurisprudence on whether or not Fez will go to jail and for how long and for what and I'm just thinking about the fact that all the characters in Euphoria attend a high school without a discernable dress code or admin or, like....teachers even and how the past two episodes revolved around a high school play with an apparent million dollar budget and absolutely no administrative input...so like, I'm fully expecting that the answer to whether or not Fez goes to jail will not be based on reality at all and I'm ok with that

Lexi: Do you ever think about the future? Fezco: Yeah, all the time. Lexi: Really? Fezco: Yeah. Lexi: Like you have a plan? Fezco: I mean, I don't, I don't got, like, a plan-plan, I be thinking about living on a farm, you know.

You expect me to care about canon? The thing that killed Ashtray? No thank you
