Fics like Don't Be Afraid (Just Start the Tape)

June 1987. The Emersons – plus a stowaway paternal cousin – leave their home in Phoenix before dawn. Santa Carla, in those first few moments in grandpa’s house, seems quaint. What follows is…not so quaint – vampires, rockstars, neon lights, and the unstoppable force of coming-of-age and self-discovery meeting the immovable object of the supernatural. Or, an AU and fix-it fic, following the cast of characters of The Lost Boys (musical and movie!) plus an additional OC as our protagonist. Basically just me giving these characters a happy ending :) (except Max lmao) ft. Stereobite, a queer-platonic Bloodmoon, OC/David (romantically), possible Superstarbeam or Starbeam (if that’s what it’s called???), Paul/Marko, etc.
