Troy’s got it all figured out—ignore your feelings, make bad decisions, and pretend nothing matters. It’s not healthy, but hey, it’s efficient.

Then Chris transfers to his school. Soft-spoken. Too kind. Wears glasses unironically. The kind of guy who actually listens when you talk—and worst of all, notices when you’re not okay.

Troy doesn’t have time for this. He already has a best friend with a self-destructive streak, a family that doesn’t get it, and a growing list of regrets.

He’s not looking for a real fix. But maybe one finds him anyway.

The Real Fix is a slow-burn, three-part coming-of-age story about messy friendships, first love, and the uncomfortable process of actually… feeling things.

Part 1 – Call of the Void (High school, junior year): Troy’s side of the story. Reckless, impulsive, alive. First love in all its fire and chaos.

Part 2 – Karma (Second year of college): Chris’s side. Quieter, heavier. Guilt, lies, and the slow unraveling that follows.

Part 3 – Déjà Vu (Six years later, adult life): A reunion, a second chance, and the question of whether love can survive the past.

Content Warnings:
This story deals with themes of mental health, emotional and physical abuse, addiction, homophobia, and self-destructive behavior. Nothing graphic, though.

It also includes LGBTQ+ romance and emotionally heavy content. So if any of these topics feel triggering, please skip this story for now—and feel free to come back when you’re in a better headspace. Your wellbeing comes first.
