If requests are still open can I request a fluffy Alex Chen from Life is Stange x Gender Neutral Reader oneshot or headcanons?
Alex Chen x Gn!Reader
Pronouns used: None, no gendered terms either.
Format used: Oneshot.
Of course! In this one shot, Alex has just arrived in town and the reader, a friend from the past, reunites with her and they put on music to dance around. Cause that stuff is cute
Tell me if you want anything changed, I haven't played the game since it was released, so I apologise if I've gotten something wrong here!
You glanced around the tavern which Gabe had previously told you about, opening the doors had greeted you with a one or two people at a few separate tables, barely enough to be considered busy or full. The bartender smiled and greeted you towards him.
"You're new here, I'm guessing you're Alex and Gabes friend? They're in their apartment, chatting, since you're clearly searching for them." He pointed you to the direction of the stairs, you stepped your way toward the stairs, anxiousness setting in.
You were so nervous, you held a fondness on Alex, for all the years you've known her, you couldn't get over the musician. And the thought of finally seeing her again? It filled you with so much joy. Determination, more like, to see her again, to rekindle your friendship.
You noticed that the closer you got to the top, a faint music got louder.
You finally reached the top, stepping into the apartment without warning, and making sure to close the door behind yourself. You had immediately noticed Alex and Gabe dancing to the music, once faint and now the loudest you were sure a speaker could go. After a few moments, Alex opened her eyes right when facing you in an air guiatr move, her furrowed brows, open mouth, and dancing quickly changed into a shocked expression.
It took her a few moments just to fully register what she was seeing, Alex's face was now a relieved, and almost familiar one. You two stared for a few more agonisingly slow seconds, fully taking the sight in after being separated for so long.
"(F/N), you made it!" Gabe spoke, noticing you after seeing Alex had gone still, butting in on your staring session.
Suddenly, a knock was heard from the door you'd previously closed. Alex looked awkwardly between you, Gabe, then the door, an unspoken conversation happening between her and her brother. Gabe pointed to the door.
"I'll... Uhh, go get that?" He changed his point to a thumbs up directed toward his sister and began walking toward the door to answer it. A few words were spoke before footsteps heading down the stairs started. Gabe and the mystery person took whatever was happening downstairs.
Alex turned to me.
"So... Uhm. You're here?" She smiled, swinging her hands forward and back, before realising how that could've sounded, and she quickly put her hands down, adding-
"I'm happy! That you're here, I've... I've missed you. A lot." You smiled happily at her words. Alex seemed to relax at your smile.
"What're you listening to?" You asked, the music which was blaring previously having changed by now. A new, more punk style song played.
"Oh! Right, just uh, listening to some music I like. Wanna 'jam out' with me?" She joked, doing jazz hands and expecting you to have something better to do, or to just deny it. But, instead of any of that, you walked closer and let out a small laugh, taking in Alex's offer seriously.
"Hell yeah! Let's jam!" You looked toward her hands, holding your own out. She grasped yours with only a moments hesitation, you pulled her toward you, moving along with the music in a clumsy and awkwardly fun way.
Alex's moves were slower and relied mostly on you to guide her, her awkwardness causing some missteps or stepping on your shoes. The wild moves you were doing may or may not be causing some damage to your shoes and feet, but so what? It was fun, and Alex was loosening up, making her own moved and letting go of your hands.
Halfway through, you held each others hands again, and felt yourself trip over each other almost a second later, stumbling around before falling on the floor. You laughed, feeling happy tears well in your eyes, both of you were unharmed from the fall, but Alex struggled getting up for a moment. Dizzy from the constant and excitable movement, wobbling and falling onto you again.
You both continued to shriek of laughter, her movements became more free when you both managed to stand. Her laughs were less shy, she finally spoke to you some more, telling you what had happened over her life while you were gone. And even if Alex became contained as she moved and danced along with you. Both of your movements slowed so she could explain everything better. It wasn't a long explanation, as she left out the bad parts.
But, even if Alex wasn't exposing her sensitive side, she was still feeling more open here than she ever had in her life. Both of you never wanting this wonderful moment to end, and feeling the most overjoyed either of you had ever felt in your entire lives.

OKAY CHENRICH FANS. i have a dilemma.
i have been working on a multichapter AU that currently only has ONE chapter finished. the chapter itself is about 8K words long.
the DILEMMA is thus. i have currently shelved this AU for the time being due to it having extremely complex plot threads that i HAVE NOT yet begun to untangle.
i've been sitting on this chapter for.... several months because i've been content to just keep it to myself until i had inspiration to keep working through the complex plot.
BUT. is there anyone out there who would be interested in reading the unfinished chapter anyway?
the summary, if anyone is interested, currently stands as such
Steph believes she has finally escaped her past by finding refuge in Haven Springs. She is working at her dream job - the dream job she has settled for, at least - at the small town’s record shop. But when a thunderstorm, the worst Haven has experienced in years, sweeps through the town, Steph’s trauma from the destruction of her own hometown soon catches up with her.
On that very same night, Steph receives a strange phone call from someone who seems to know her somehow. As if they had met before in another life.
From then on, Steph’s life is turned upside-down and begins spiraling rapidly out of control. Her sleep is plagued by nightmares of darkness and death and she becomes haunted by memories that don’t seem to be entirely her own.
The only person who can give her answers? The mysterious caller who contacted her on the night of that fateful thunderstorm. The very same stranger who seemed to know her intimately.
Except for one small problem. Whoever this stranger is, they don’t seem to exist.
so like.... if i posted it to AO3 where it will have no definite future of being completed Any Time Soon... who would be interested?

23. Lantern - Steph Gingrich x Reader - Life is Strange True Colours
@purple-dahlias' Seven sentence fic July day 23: lantern
Gabe's wake had ended on a horrid note after Mac and Ryan had started arguing, leaving you and Steph to exchange looks as Alex hurried upstairs, for Steph to eventually follow.
Tapping your fingers on the bar, your eyes flickered over to the table where everyone had left items in memory of Gabe before you walked out of The Black Lantern and down the Haven streets.
Your bones ached as you walked towards the park, dropping down in the grass with your hood over your head, obscuring your face as the tears descended from your eyes and down your cheeks.
The toe of a boot nudging your leg stirred you from your slumber, removing your hood to reveal Steph looking down at you in concern, and the night sky, wait, night?
"Come on, Alex wants us to do something, for Gabe," taking Steph's offered hand up, you followed her to the bridge in time to listen to Alex's speech, your hands shaking enough that Steph gently took them in hers.
Watching as the lantern floated away, you smiled at the memories of Gabe, glancing at Steph, and then Alex, as her face fell after meeting Diane's gaze, leaving you to quirk a brow, watching as Alex shook her head, and you rested yours on Steph's shoulder.
Your eyebrows were furrowed in thought as Steph leaned her head on yours, her body tense from the moment your head was on her shoulder, but in that moment, all you could think about was that there was something suspicous about Gabe's death.
