Thestrokes Stories

"You asked me why I didn't come home when I finished college?" "Yeah?" "It's because... I was lost. Really lost... I spent years in California, searching for the answer. It got bad, Fab. I hit rock bottom... And then one day... I got a call from you. It was the happiest I'd been in months. Years, even. And I realized... The answer to what I was looking for wasn't in California, like I'd thought it was for so many years. I realized, the answer was right back here... at home. With you." - Childhood best friends Ana De Luca and Fab Moretti have known each other since they were both four years old. They've grown up sharing everything with each other, going everywhere together, and spending all their time together. But as they get older, things get complicated, especially when Fab begins to develop feelings for Ana and their relationship is strained when he decides to join what will become a widely successful rock and roll group with his friends, and Ana flies to the opposite side of the country to pursue a degree in art. Here, being away from her home, family, and best friend, Ana makes a surprising discovery about herself and her own feelings, but when she comes back, she realizes she may be too late...

Follow this young girl as she finds new passions, pursues her dreams, and falls in love with the singer of her favorite band. Background info: *This story begins in New York in 2002 in the middle of Fiona, a minor character, breaking up with Julian. The break-up is a catalyst for the writing of the song "Automatic Stop." Julian becomes depressed for a short amount of time, but he soon gets a "different view" when he meets Ellie... *The story is written in first person and alternates perspectives between Julian and Ellie, the two main characters, telling the story in present tense. ❣ Fun Fact: The Strokes' T in the Park 2004 "Automatic Stop" performance inspired me to write this story. ✏️Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction! tried my best to write this piece with accuracy by reading obscure Strokes articles, watching several interviews, listening to their music, and subsequently incorporating various aspects into the creation of this story. Of course, I left the rest to my imagination... Thanks to anyone who took the time to read what I have written so far! Comments are always appreciated! (:

You know what Nikolai doesn't get enough credit, and just because maybe he's not as attractive as the rest to me, some people find him better look than the rest. HE DESERVES LOVE LIKE THE REST OF US! Lol why am I yelling caps. But in all honesty Nikolai doesn't get enough credit so I decided to make a fanfic for him which is all fluff (yes for once a story with no smut wow! So exotic for me) but enjoy this!

This is just kind of a gallery of images of Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), Paul Banks (Interpol) Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and others!

"Youre worse than our Van you are, bet you don't even have lungs..." "Yeah well, oxygens over rated, I don't need to breath..."

Haven't entirely decided yet. *also feel like I should state that this story has very heavy drug use in it and like just because they might seem cool, theyre not cool, and if you think they are cool, read the works of irvine welsh and william burroughs, got that kids, drugs are bad!!*
