Chapter One: The One Where Monica Gets A New Roommate

Y/N L/N, a former Marine looking to start fresh, moves to New York City and finds himself drawn into the chaotic world of a tight-knit group of friends. Among them is Rachel Green, a former rich girl turned independent woman, whose life and friendships take unexpected turns as she grows into herself. Y/N's dry wit, loyalty, and grounded presence quickly earn him a spot in the group, as he bonds with Monica, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Ross, and Rachel in ways none of them anticipated. This is Friends, with one extra member.
