Summary
Following the release of their debut album, the Donny Nova Band kicks off their first national tour.
It was supposed to be a fun trip. Endless sold out nights, unique stops and cities along the way, and a chance to rekindle the flame of their popularity after the "Tribute to the Troops" debacle.
Trauma was never meant to factor into their perfect plans for the future, but sometimes the past refuses to die.
And, sometimes, everyday life is harder to navigate with the war still fresh in all of their minds...
Or, seven individual stories featuring each member of the Donny Nova Band as they face past demons and overcome their struggles as a team.

They Kill Trumpet player's, Don't they? by RamenCat1348
Fandoms: Bandstand - Oberacker/Oberacker & Taylor

Summary
The Nova Club runs on gin, grief, and rhythm. Donny leads the band like a man dodging something sharper than debt. One handshake with Maranzano, and the tempo hasn’t been steady since.
Johnny’s got rhythm wired into his bones, even if the war rewired everything else. Davy drinks more than he tunes. Jimmy quotes legal statutes between sets. Wayne watches doors like they're coming for his kids, And Nick—Nick’s playing high, loud, and dangerous, like he thinks he can drown out fate.
They laugh between numbers.
They kill trumpets, don’t they?
Just a joke. -

Summary
Jimmy threw up his hands, shoving himself off the floor. “You know, I don’t know why I even signed up for this.”
Donny had the gall to look ticked, and maybe Jimmy shouldn’t have shouted, or ripped the papers from his fingers, but that was beside the point. “What? The band or the law degree?”
“All of it!” Jimmy shot back. “I can’t do any of it, it’s too hard!” Shoving the last of his papers in his briefcase, he made for the door, muttering, “And I was an absolute idiot to think I could juggle this many balls at once.”
Or, Jimmy finds himself underwater with work and Donny doesn’t seem to understand.

Summary
One moment, Johnny had been walking down the street—Prospect Avenue, he knew that much—with a clear goal in mind. With a destination written in bold letters across his brain.
And the next minute… nothing.
When Johnny gets lost in Cleveland during a severe memory lapse, Wayne finds a way to make sure it won't happen again. Especially not with their first national tour just around the corner...

Summary
Sometimes, it was simpler to be confused. To be the one who didn’t remember things, who didn’t make connections. But even still, maybe he couldn’t always remember… He would still notice.
Notice the way Davy didn’t reply when he was asked about Donny.
Notice the way Wayne looked like he was doing CPR back there.
Notice how another pair of headlights joined their group.
Notice the way Nick had to catch Jimmy before he tumbled back down into the embankment because he could hardly see...
Halfway through their first national tour, the Donny Nova Band gets into a car accident that triggers more than a few memories for the band members.

Summary
Wayne swallowed a sigh. “Well, maybe I just don’t want to hear it right now.”
“Yeah?” Nick countered, a different kind of edge seeping into his tone. “Well, maybe I don’t want to have to think about the Palace Theater.”
“Neither do I, but you’re not doing either of us any favors by nitpicking more things that are wrong with this world, so just knock it off, will you?”
“And let the silence eat me alive? No way in hell," Nick spat. "No thanks, Lieutenant. No thanks.”
Following their performance in New York, members of the band cope in their own ways.

Bandeth of the Stands by ChestnutWheelBarrow

Summary
The Bandstand fandom is like dead.
But I don’t want to let it die.
So here’s a collection of my Bandstand WIPs which will probably stay as WIPs.
This is absolutely Nick-central because he’s my favourite and y’all are sleeping on him. Mainly Nick x Wayne but there’s like others as well.
These are going to be short, are probably going to be out of character and are certainly not very good.
Enjoy :)

Summary
“We need a trombone though,” Donny said.
Nick remembers hearing about how a guy he had played with one night had gotten married while on leave in 1942, how he had young kids now. Nick also remembers a winter night in 1941- a warm club, a dark hotel room, and the bluest eyes in the entire world.
Nick only pauses for a second before recommending Wayne Wright. -

Summary
Julia let out a bubbly laugh. “So I am right?” She gently shoved Jimmy’s shoulder in response to the hit.
“What do you mean ‘right’? I’m just… enjoying a drink at the bar,” he quipped, taking a sip from his cup to prove his point. He peered over at the rim and noticed that the man was looking at them. He immediately looked back at Julia, offering her a very unconvincing smile.
“Puh-lease I’ve seen you eyeing him all night.” she rolled her eyes, “Do you know him?” -
