Summary
Al wasn’t sure when, or how it had happened, but she’d lost the excitement for life she had as a kid. Her days working for JojoCorp were blurring together, and the city was suffocating her. Her only plan of action was to escape Zuzu City to a little place called Pelican Town. Sebastian grew up in Pelican Town, but he was itching to get out. His days working in his mom’s basement were blurring together and nothing surprised him anymore, nothing made him laugh. His only plan of action was to escape this quiet town to Zuzu City. When the two anxious bastards meet, it’s a disaster. Nonetheless, it’s the beginning of a beautiful, fumbling romance.
Note
What started as making my attempt at writing a Sebastian/Female Player fic has turned into expressing my experiences with anxiety through writing. I hope it's as cathartic for others who suffer from anxiety as it is for me. This is my first AO3 fic, and my first multi-chapter fic. I do hope you enjoy it!
