Chapter Text
What it's about:
This does NOT follow the story line of Be More Chill. It's just an au with squips. Parts of bmc will be used in it, such as the alcohol and drugs effecting/disabling squips, optical nerve blocking, one squip controlling others/being in charge, Mountain Dew Red, etc.
Ships:
I already tagged these, but in case you didn't see it, here they are:
Klaus x Dave
Diego x Patch
Hazel x Agnes
Luther x Allison
I know a lot of people don't ship Luther and Allison, so it will only be mentioned, and no real ship moments will be included. Any of the (few) moments that are meant to be romantic can be taken as platonic. If there are any that can't (like a kiss), I will have a warning before the scene and a short recap of what you need to know.
There also won't be any Five x Dolores in this fic. I don't really know how to adapt it correctly. I may add it in later, but she will not be a real person.
Family:
They will not be related in the fic, as that would make the plot quite complicated. Most of them will have normal, nuclear family, unless at some point I decide to add in family problems for character development. Currently, the only specified family is Reginald as Diego's father and Vanya being the youngest of seven.
Squips:
Harold as Vanya's squip + head squip
Unspecified/Ben as Klaus's squip
Grace as Diego's squip
Allison's husband (not in the fic, just cannon) as Allison's squip
The Handler as Five's squip
Cha-Cha as Hazel's squip
Unspecified as Luther's squip
Unspecified basically means the squip will be an oc I added in if I didn't have anyone to be a squip.
The reason Klaus has two squips listed is because he gets rid of the first (unspecified) but accidentally gets a new one (Ben). There will be more in the fic itself, and I don't want to say much more because it will be part of his character development.
Updates and schedule:
I will update at least once a month. I may do more if I get a rush of inspiration. If I get writers block, I will most likely make a chapter to tell anyone reading what's happening.
Other:
I -along with most of the fandom- don't really like Luther very much. Because of this, he won't play a large role in this fic. I'm sorry for anyone who likes him and wanted to see him in here. Make no mistake, he will be included. But most of it will be for other character's development.
All main characters (that aren't squips) will be the same age. Agnes and Hazel included.
Shorter authors notes will be at the end of each chapter (marked as A/N) to inform readers of any update changes or things I couldn't include in the chapter.
