A moodboard I put together for my in-progress Love, Victor fanfic: Good Things Fall Apart
17/20 chapters are already up, and hopefully I’ll continue to update on a semi-regular basis! This is essentially my take on season 2 of the show as it will likely be some time before we get that :/ Good balance of angst and fluff with a major arc involving the reconciliation of spirituality and sexuality, so if that’s your jam check it out!!
[Other major elements include: Benji indoctrinating Victor with Lorde’s musical catalogue, gays at the beach, more discussion of cryptids than initially planned, and SO much found family loveliness.]

A birthday is just like any other day, but worse. At least, that’s what Benji thinks until Victor.

A Brief History of Benji Campbell and Birthdays
I can’t believe I forgot to post this earlier ;-; my time it is now 11/17 which means Benji’s bday is technically over, but this fic will hopefully slap regardless!!!
summary: A birthday is just like any other day, but worse. At least, that’s what Benji thinks until Victor. wordcount: 4347 excerpt;
“Yeah,” Benji says, smiling, a tear sneaking out of his left eye. “Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Thanks, Victor, this is…” He looks into his boyfriend’s eyes, warm brown, eyes he’s seen ecstatic, angry, on the edge of the worst of the worst. “This is perfect. You’re perfect.”
Victor leans forward kisses Benji, his teeth nicking Benji’s boom lip as he pulls away. He lingers close, their lips nearly touching still, both of them smiling, shining.
“I have some comfier clothes you can change into,” Victor murmurs and licks his lips. “They’re laid out on my bed.”
Benji’s heart does a double take behind his ribs. “Oh. Yeah, great,” he says, mouth dry. “I’ll be right back.”
“And I’ll be right here,” Victor says as Benji rises from the couch.

if we make it through december | a Venji Bakery AU
summary: Benji’s heart is still broken, and his bakery is limping through the holiday season, not certain to see the new year. Victor’s got his sights set on a promotion at work until Benji catches his eye and makes him consider loosening up, just a little. Just enough. Awkward flirting, pining, and baking ensue. word count: 16,342 excerpt:
“Well, have fun tonight,” Benji says once the transaction has gone through.
“What? Oh, right, the party. Whoo!” Victor says, and Benji can’t tell if he’s being sardonic or badly forcing enthusiasm. “Yeah, can’t…can’t wait.”
There’s a pause during which the two men just look at each other, similar to the pause that occurred the day previous.
“Um. Yeah. Thanks again. See you around,” Victor blurts, and then he practically runs out the door. The sound of the door chime has never been so sad.

Good Things Fall Apart | Chapter 18: Paroxysm
This is the longest chapter of anything I’ve ever written oops! But it’s also been a month between updates so I think technically it all evens out <3
excerpt;
There’s a sense of reversal as Victor recalls a moment they’d had on this very beach, of Benji reminding him it’s okay to look if he wants to. Victor takes a step toward him and reaches out a hand. Benji eyes it, wary, then allows Victor to pull him close. He takes Benji in his arms again, pressing their bare torsos together.
Victor takes a shuddering breath, Benji’s skin already cold from the air conditioning. Benji laughs, still shivering slightly, and then they both go quiet. There’s a profoundness in this, a pendulum that swings between innocence and something yet to be explored. All that sits between their two kindred cores is a layer of skin, some muscle, some bone. Victor thinks that he would be okay if Benji reached into his chest and clutched his heart in his hand—he would welcome it, even wishes for it. But Benji has already in some ways, hasn’t he? Since the moment their lips touched on a bench outside of Creekwood High, Benji has held Victor’s heart like a small, wounded animal in cupped hands.

just like magic | a Venji Hogwarts AU
Me? Starting another ongoing WIP even though GTFA isn’t finished yet?? It’s more likely than you think!
If you’re into secret dating, Quidditch, magical band battles, and general Venji fluffiness, this fic is for you!!! It’s dual-POV and will be udpating…uh…semi-often? This is essentially the WIP I’m going to work on whenever I cannot get myself to work on anything else because this is simply so self indulgent and fun, but I’m aiming for shorter chapters which hopefully means more frequent updates!!
excerpt;
Benji steps past Mia and shakes Pilar’s hand, then Victor’s. It might be in his head, but Victor swears that Benji lingers against his touch for a moment. “Benji Campbell,” he says. “Welcome to Hogwarts.”
“Um, thanks,” Victor says, and there’s something in his voice that only Pilar recognizes; she gives him a little scandalized smile. In return, he kicks her in the shin. “Everyone’s been super welcoming already.”
“That’s good to hear,” Benji says, smiling down at him and then seemingly remembering himself. He clears his throat and makes for the compartment exit, stopping beside Mia. “We, uh, we should go finish our rounds, I guess.”
“Your rounds,” Mia says. “I’m just tagging along to make sure you don’t make a fool of yourself.”
Benji snorts. “I don’t think that’s possible.”
“You making a fool of yourself or me preventing it?”
If he doesn't pick Benji I will die inside

Go to prom together. Do the long distance thing in college, and… Fumble around awkwardly with FaceTime sex. But then you beat the odds. You actually wind up together. Who do you see?
