Song 1: Waterfalls Coming Out Your Mouth by Glass Animals.

Song 2: It’s All So Incredibly Loud by Glass Animals.

(With some slight adjustments to the lyrics of both songs to avoid as much repeating and make it more accurate to characters in certain places)

Characters in Song 1: Garvin and Revan. Rest of GRAIN vaguely mentioned here and there.

Characters in Song 2: Revan, Nico, Akira, and Ingall. Garvin mentioned, quite a bit.

Context: Just some AFCS nonsense with Garvin and Revan, I think. This bounces around a ton. It’s really just Garvin and Revan being dumbasses. Does the last bit of WCOYM (and by proxy, all of IASIL) actually happen? Who knows!

TWs: Suicide attempt, oops. Some other relatively vague stuff that tend to show up with Garvin and Revan.

*~*~*~*

*Starting in the early stages, from when first meeting to early stages of dating, basically, the timeline bounces around a lot though.*

Garvin, on his way to use Revan’s money that he stole to buy, uh, drugs, oops; “Drip drop, gimme what you got..”

Revan, away from Garvin, realizing he’s falling, oops; “Your talk is incredible…”

Revan, in front of Garvin, insulting him to help deny his own feelings, haha; “So, so… So unusual.”

Garvin, basically saying that Revan makes him feel like he’s drowning in a really roundabout way that only comes off that way if you know Garvin’s almost drowned before and doesn’t know how to swim; “You taste like surfing videos.”

Revan, disbelief coating his tone, repeating back what Garvin just told him that he’d do, having pretty much just met him; “You’re going to read my mind?”

Garvin, grinning and absolutely mocking/joking around, basically just having met him and immediately deciding to get on his nerves as much as possible, also some very vague hinting at Garvin’s not-so-good experiences with people that have money; “Big dicks and big ol’ titties on the sly!”

Revan, a little later on when Revan is actually trying to figure out how to, not deny/ignore feelings, just a little at least, and deciding on trying to use zodiacs a little because Garvin likes stars, so why not; “Say you got Cancer eyes–”

Garvin, who knows nothing about zodiacs other than that Cancers are July and water, so, nah; “Fuck no, I’ma bonafide Aquemini!”

Revan, as he gets to know Garvin and starts noticing little discrepancies; “Oh, who are you hiding? White Russians and dirty diamonds, you fake your shining… I just wish that I could see through you.”

Revan, basically just insulting Garvin in an argument; “Cheap booze–”

Garvin, basically just mocking Revan in an argument; “Pepsi blue, you got bottles in from 2002?”

Revan, again, just insulting and mocking Garvin in an argument, completely frustrated by how Garvin treats/acts during arguments, for the most part; “Hot glue, vape juice, hit undo– How the hell are you so cool!?”

*Major timeline shift, later stages of dating basically. Still bounces around a lot.*

Garvin, basically just flirting with his boyfriend; “Drip drop, gimme what you got–”

Revan, actually complimenting him, woooo; “Your talk is incredible.”

Revan, using the old insult to instead tease him now and mock himself a little too; “So, so… So unusual.”

Garvin, along with the same reasoning as the first time since there’s still issues, he’s also just, you know, flirting like an absolute dumbass; “You taste like surfing videos.”

Garvin, referring to the Fintan shit he’s slowly, incredibly slowly, learning about, mostly through the rest of GRAIN and friends that have met that sidesystem probably; “It’s chemical warfare– Red lips and television eyewear!”

Revan, just referring to how much Garvin’s grown/changed, ignoring the worry (or at least trying to) that comes from a partner that can’t swim being in a pool, also, woooo, kinda foreshadowing; “Raspberry soda hair in the pool in a blow-up gummy bear…”

Garvin, referring to how little of his past he actually remembers, to how much of therapy is like piecing together a mystery; “Fake youth, Scooby Doo…”

Revan, referring to the whole ‘rooftop talk’ method and offering one; “Push Pops on the corner of the roof?”
Garvin, accepting the offer but trying to get out of actually talking; “Froot Loops, superfood?”

Revan, not letting him; “Chat shit but where’s the real you?”

Garvin, referring to something Revan had mentioned off-handed once; “Never seen ‘The Price Is Right’?”

Revan, admittedly he hadn’t lied on purpose, but people lie on autopilot sometimes when they want people to like them; “I’m a liar, I’ve been on that shit since ‘99…”

*Timeline shift, not as major as the last one, still technically in the later stages of dating, but specifically after a huge downward spiral/tons of steps back that ended up causing an argument– Remember when I mentioned Garvin cuts off like, at least half of the hair he ended up growing out? And dyes it an aquatic looking color/ombre thing? Yeah. That. Depending on how things go during all that this could, more or less, happen. So be mentioned that the argument would not be with just Revan. Also should be mentioned that all of it’s technically a version of, um, River Pactolus. The spiral, the steps back, the attempt that comes after the argument– All of it. So, fun fact, everyone in the polycule is there for the attempt. Kind of. At least to find him and whatnot, uh, yeah… That includes Revan.*

Garvin, during the aforementioned argument; “You made me act like a clown– Clap clap, you’re a clever, clever cookie now!”

Revan, referring to the water themed attempt that came after the argument; “Water falls, coming out your mouth–”

(Garvin, right before the water themed attempt; “What the hell– I went through enough!)

Revan, again referring to the water themed attempt; “Water falls, tearing you apart–”

(Garvin, again, right before the water themed attempt; “What the hell are we doing now?)

*And now we switch to It’s All So Incredibly Loud, which picks up right after the above! More or less. Bounces around a bit, but everything in it happens after the above before Garvin wakes up. Now I can tell you why it includes Revan as part of the group to find him! Because by then, Revan is much better at not pulling away. This attempt does make him pull away though, something he hadn’t done in years. Probably. Just for reference.*

Revan, referring to the argument, decidedly feeling guilty; “I break it, by stars, your face…”

Nico, waiting for Garvin to wake up at the hospital, very sad; “Awaken… Two eyes, blooming… Open for me…”

Nico, referring to the attempt, aka have some information about the immediate aftermath of finding Garvin; “Super silence in the quiet, eye inside the storm…”

Akira, referring to the attempt, aka have some information about the immediate aftermath of finding Garvin; “Water from your broken nasal fell toward the floor–”

Ingall, referring to the attempt, aka have some information about the immediate aftermath of finding Garvin; “Everything waiting, shaking as it drops…”

Revan, at the hospital with the rest of the polycule, but also definitely starting to pull away; “I tried for them and us, for too hard, for too long– Gave it all and everything for more time, but I lost…”

Nico, still waiting for Garvin to wake up, at least kinda desperate by the end; “Oh, we’re breaking down… Whispers would deafen me now… You don’t make a sound–”

Revan, trying to convince himself to leave; “Heartbreak was never so loud…”

Ingall, trying to stay together to help Revan manage the stuff with the doctors; “Oh, I’m breaking down… Whispers would deafen me now… You don’t make a sound…”

Revan, still trying to convince himself to leave; “Heartbreak was never so loud…”

Revan, referring to his decision to pull away and Garvin’s attempt; “Two hearts folding… Pulling everything…”

Akira, trying to keep it together, waiting with Nico for Garvin to wake up; “Oh, I’m breaking down… Whispers would deafen me now… You don’t make a sound…”

Revan, still trying to convince himself to leave before he manages to hurt someone else, aka his guilt be back full force; “Heartbreak was never so loud…”

Revan, away from the others, dealing with the guilt crashing into him full force again, trying to convince himself to put some distance between himself and the others before they get hurt too; “Oh, I’m breaking down– Whispers would deafen me now! You don’t make a sound– It’s all so incredibly loud– It’s all so incredibly loud…”
