i miss our foxhound high boys... i just want them to be happy /w\

Ahhh! Me too, anon! I have a little something unfinished in the works, but at the moment I have my hands full with working on the Otasune zine as well as some SURPRISE fun family stuff (everyone is okay, it’s just demanded time and energy). But hopefully I’ll be able to turn my attention back to it and we’ll have a cute little fluff piece to enjoy.

That being said- I hope you don’t mind if I talk a little bit about this HS AU and that kind of AU in general for a bit?

To be honest, it was a few years ago that I realized not only was there no HS/College/Domestic type AU for MGS- but that overall, there were very few developed AUs in general! (I mean whole AUs as opposed to just ‘what if character X didn’t die’.) I found a few fragments on blogs and stuff, but nothing that I’d consider a whole ‘universe’ or anything. I’m really glad that’s changed now, and that the fandom seems to be enjoying them. After all, when the last entry in a franchise is 2 years old (or closer to 9 if you’re a ‘New Testament’ fan) you have to mix it up a little to keep things fresh!

Foxhound High has become a favorite ‘pet project’ of mine, because it’s a fun and convenient outlet for a lot of nostalgia. (Because yes, I’m old and I went to high school in the 90′s.) I’m one of those people who had a really positive high school experience (I had the chance to leave for college early, even, but decided it wasn’t the right move for me). This wasn’t because I was particularly popular, or athletic or the darling of any particular club- I just had a tiny group of very good friends who were into the same nerdy crap I was, so whatever was going on in the rest of the school really didn’t matter.

I never went to a high school football game, but I did stay after school in the library making fun of the young adult romance novels. I didn’t win any yearbook superlatives, but while working on my AP art portfolio I did make a giant canvas twister mat and had people play on it with paint on their hands and feet. I never went to a ‘party’ like you see in the movies, but we did celebrate the date of second impact by eating 800% of our daily recommended sodium with an instant ramen party.

I think there are a lot of stories to be told that are unique to a high school setting. High school is sort of that strange in-between time in people’s lives when they’re constantly being told to ‘act like adults’ while often still being treated like children. There is so much structure to the life of a high schooler, between the daily regimen of classes and clubs, to whatever demands come from their parents, to trying to adhere (or reject) social conventions. Once you get to college, pretty much all of that goes out the window (which is usually a refreshing, if bewildering change). But because there is all that structure, I think there are a lot of interesting ways to explore the way characters have to navigate through all these restrictions in order to let their individual personalities express themselves. (Add to that the added confusion that most teenagers are still trying to figure out just what those personalities are, and you have another added level of conflict!)

In the case of things like dealing with topics like prejudice and homophobia etc, the environment is completely different between high school, college, and adult life. Being in an ‘enclosed’ environment with the same student body day after day (often at least partially one you have known since grade school) and having to report routinely to parents makes for a completely different scenario than having a private dorm room at a school you probably had some say in selecting (thereby affecting how conservative/liberal it is). I’m not saying there aren’t stories to be told in that environment, or that high school stories are better, but they are different.

pls tell us abt scrawny goth kid mantis and eli high school au....

I don’t talk enough about matnis and eli in this au but they are there! I really just need an angle to tell a story about them, I think.

At some point we were discussing what kind of extra curricular activities Eli might be into. He has athletic ability, of course- but at the same time he doesn’t want to be on the same team as his brother, and being in another sport is still an invitation for comparison. He doesn’t want people trying to size him up next to his brother, he just wants to be *better.* So he looks for other avenues, but ones that will still garner some attention.

This probably leads him to things like debate, but nobody pays much attention to those nerds- so he eventually ends up in theater. He’s good looking, has a commanding presence and fine diction which is enough to land him plenty of leading roles. (And if you have ever heard Cam Clarke sing you know he’s a shoo in for the spring musical.)

Tretij seems like a natural sort of a theater techie. His wardrobe is already black, he’s used to moving silently and without being noticed. And he likes to watch other people and observe them and their interactions. The differences between genuine drama between the other students and the theatrics on stage delight him.

He’s used to being ignored, so when Eli takes a seat right next to him and points to two of the people on stage and asks “what do you make of those two?” Tretij is a little too surprised to react. But eventually the two become friends in a “it doesn’t bother me if you’re there” way that slowly becomes something more. ^^

@creamhearts asked: About your highschool AU - do either of Dave's or Hal's parents find out about them? What about siblings?

AH! ^^ So Dave's family is more "informed" but also seems to care less. John is kind of... less involved in his son's lives even though they live with him. He is mostly concerned with working and putting a roof over their heads and as long as he's not getting calls from the principal he figures they're doing okay. The twins have been pretty independent since they were kids anyway. Eva (who is separated but still meets up with John from time to time for a drink etc) seems to understand that Dave and Hal are together, but she's a cool mom and just wants her boys to be happy. And she knows Hal is a good kid. Eli could care less about what his brother is doing (and is probably busy making out with the scrawny goth kid to care). He is more likely to tease Dave about hanging out with a nerd than being gay. The Emmerichs are another thing entirely. E.E. is pretty young (under 10), but perceptive. I haven't touched on this in a story but she thinks Dave is way too cool to hang out with her dorky brother (and she might have a little crush on him because he's got Disney prince good looks). I'm not sure if she's aware that they're dating (because they would hardly make out in front of her) but if she caught them kissing she'd probably just make a face because "YUCK! KISSING? MY STINKY BROTHER?" than anything. I think Julie has hints of knowing, because she's kind of "in people's business" but doesn't say a lot (at the moment) because she's waiting to take cues from Huey. I can see her being kind of an overly fake "supportive" person though. Not like Eva who is happy to make sure they're doing okay and let them have their space, she's want to nose her way into things and get personal details, regardless of who she's embarrassing. Huey doesn't know yet. But I have plans for a story about that.
