  Summary

  On their first day at the new school, Lyfrassir is taken in by Odin to join her little train. Also, those marching band kids seem pretty fun, no matter what Odin’s opinion is.

  Or: High school AU, where the Mechanisms are marching band losers, and everyone else from every album is there, too.
