Summary
Clay Jensen experienced dramatic changes in his life before. The earliest, most significant shift was when at the age of seven he became a brother.
It didn’t happen the common way that included nine months of pregnancy and preparation. Instead, Justin’s arrival pretty much happened overnight. And Clay’s brother didn’t arrive as a baby, but a five year old boy, insecure and sullen and miserable.
But in a way it was a process, too. And it took even longer than the usual nine months of pregnancy — between Justin’s first day in their home and the day he finally became an official family member, a year and a half passed. A year and a half that affected the whole family’s lives and future.
When his cell phone rings on a quiet Friday night in early January, roughly twenty-five years later, Clay has no idea that it’s going to be the start of a whole lot of new changes — life altering changes for each member of his family.
He just answers the phone.

Summary
Hannah Baker was on the edge. She tried to give it one last try. But with the bulling, the rumors, the isolation- it was becoming all too much.

Months later, Hannah's life us slowly piecing back together. She even learned to laugh again. But Elliot is changing- skipping classes, vanishing for days, hiding behind bigger smiles that don't quite reach his eyes.
Hannah is determined to save him, but as she learns more about Elliot's past, his secrets, and battles he never let her see. She realizes saving him won't be as simple as dragging him back from the edge- because some people hide their pain to well. -

Beneath the Surface: The Life of Montgomery De La Cruz by AtlantaG1912
Fandoms: 13 Reasons Why (TV)
07 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Before he became a bully, Montgomery De La Cruz was a boy trying to survive in a home where silence was protection and anger filled the rooms like smoke. This fanfiction explores his life from the moment of his birth to the tragic end, diving deep into the emotional and psychological damage that shaped his identity. Through moments of fear, brief glimpses of softness, and the devastating weight of internalized pain, the story asks: what makes someone cruel? And who might they have become if someone had intervened? Set against the backdrop of broken homes, high school locker rooms, prison cells, and unspoken truths, this is not a tale of redemption — it’s a confrontation with legacy, masculinity, and the way trauma echoes from father to son. It’s about the boy behind the bruises — and what it means when no one sees him until it’s too late.

Summary
There are kids in Evergreen who, should they suddenly disappear, would have the whole town looking for them within twenty-four hours or even less.
And there are kids who’d disappear and no one would notice. They would get up one morning, go about their day and not return home at night and for days, possibly weeks, no one would even know that something’s amiss.
When Justin disappeared from the face of the earth some time at the beginning of summer before their freshman year in high school, it took so long to notice his absence that once they did realize, it was impossible to tell exactly for how long he had been gone.
