the wonderful, the fantastic, the amazing @soul-rillo delivers once again
this is what readers of when boys grow up (my coming of age, human AU radiostatic fanfic) have to look forward to, post-Velvette's final transformation.
TEEN PUNK ALASTOR!!!
V's so fucked. He's gonna die. Walk into a wall probably.
when boys grow up (tags & summary)
New @soul-rillo art means new WBGU chapter!
Chapter 20 of When Boys Grow Up now out: pink nails, mime chic, new friends
These images are from chapter 6, "ravioli." :)
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
New art from @soul-rillo for When Boys Grow Up, these for chapter 4! Welcome Marcus!!!
And you know what that means...? WBGU update tonight!!
New @soul-rillo art, new chapter! We've got art for two chapters up: 10 and 11! Look at that gorgeous swamp kiss scene. 😭
And now, without further ado:
when boys grow up Chapter 23: magpie
Summary: V goes to summer camp and Alastor undergoes a transformation with a little help from Velvette.
When Boys Grow Up Chapter 25: Heron Feather is now out!
And it wouldn’t be a WBGU chapter release without the illustrations by @rillyrillo ❤️
Illustrations are for Chapters 13 and 14.
Summary and tags:
Nothing in life is certain, except death, taxes, and Alastor and Vox. Somehow, no matter what universe they’re in, the two manage to find each other.
Alastor is nine years old when V and his fancy family move into the house at the end of his street. They’re not at all how Alastor expects. He’s never met anybody as cold and controlling as V’s parents, and he’s never met anyone he’s liked as much as he likes V. They quickly become friends after Alastor saves V from a cruel punishment in the Louisiana sun, and V finds himself welcomed into a family where nobody yells at each other, nobody gets hit for misbehaving, and where he can be free for the first time in his life.
What kind of men can two boys become when found family and love disrupt the cycle of isolation that creates monsters?
(A queer coming-of-age exploration of how connection, trauma, and environment shape who we become, told with grounded psychological realism. A litfic-style narrative following Alastor and Vox from childhood into adulthood as found family rewrites their trajectories.
A companion piece to It’s Not Murder, imagining what might have happened if the two hadn’t grown up in isolation, but readable as standalone.)

Fic Summary of my AU of an AU:
Nothing in life is certain, except death, taxes, and Alastor and Vox. Somehow, no matter what universe they’re in, the two manage to find each other. Alastor is nine years old when V and his fancy family move into the fancy house at the end of his street, the one that’s been under renovation for over a year. They’re not at all how Alastor expects. He’s never met anybody as cold and controlling as V’s parents, and he’s never met anyone he’s liked as much as he likes V. They quickly become friends after Alastor saves V from a cruel punishment in the Louisiana sun, and V finds himself welcomed into a family where nobody yells at each other, where nobody gets hit for misbehaving, and where he can be free for the first time in his life. What kind of men can two boys become when they don’t have to grow up surrounded by loneliness and tragedy?
