Summary
The snapshots in-between the beloved tour doc "In Transit" show a different side of The Strokes that perhaps the camera was not fit enough to capture. When the camera shutters blind the lens, it doesn't pause reality that slips between the trembling fingers of the subject on either side. And sometimes when Julian pauses to reflect, he can feel the silence scream right back at him.

Summary
It started with envy, and ended with a feeling so strong and incomprehensible that Julian couldn't even put a label on it.
If he had to, Julian would call it a large, tumultuous, fiery ball of unspoken feelings, internalized homophobia, and a missed chance. -

Summary
Maeve knows better than this, surely.
She knows better than to stay on the path his gaze will follow.
She knows better than to let him get under her skin.
But Maeve is a masochist. Or is it sadist? She always gets the two mixed up.my tumblr where you can drop questions or comments: @fuckit-thestrokes

Summary
in 2001 new york, two bands are starting to make noise for very different reasons.
julian casablancas thrives on chaos, instinct, and not looking too closely.
val builds everything with intention… and keeps everyone at a distance.when their worlds collide, nothing quite fits.
(and that might be the point.)

Summary
This is a story where words are not enough. A story where a girl finds herself trapped between the desire for a different future and the consequences of her lies. A story where she is part of a deal she never agreed to, and with a boy who never thought he would need her so much.
I bet you rue the day you kissed the writer in the dark...
Just a quick heads up: I started this story several years ago, so the first few chapters are a little rough as I was finding my voice. The writing style and quality smooth out significantly from Chapter 4 onwards. Thanks for sticking with it! <3

Summary
¿Cómo carajos doy una sinopsis a esto? Lo describiría como: firmar un contrato de conducta que no leíste por estar llorando por Berlín, enterarte de que tu terapeuta y tu manager tienen “acuerdos”, y descubrir que la solución para tus impulsos autodestructivos post-coito no es el contacto cero sino una semana de yoga en Arizona con el hombre al que le rompiste la nariz (y a ti el corazón, pero de eso no se habla).
Julian solo quería sexo y comestibles. Albert solo quería que lo dejaran en paz con su culpa. El instructor solo quería dar su clase sin que dos cuarentones convirtieran el Saludo al Sol en un espectáculo de celos.
Contiene: ropa interior que no se devuelve, una venda rosa en la nariz que nadie explica, y un “namasté” que empieza siendo una broma de Fab y termina siendo la única oración que Albert susurra antes de dejarse querer. No es una reconciliación. Es una tregua. Y probablemente no sirva de nada. Pero al menos esta vez no huye.

Summary
Julian Casablancas is a very internally conflicted guy. On one hand, he likes girls, which is normal and good. On the other, he likes his bandmates, which means men, which is abnormal and bad. He struggles to reconcile these feelings and so does what any sensible rockstar would do: he takes as much of his stash of party favors as he can stomach, washes it down with just as much beer, and spirals in his apartment.

Summary
Julian in between them. Nick’s arm around his waist, Fab’s hand on his thigh. Their breaths hot and sticky over either side of his neck, fingers in his hair, toying with him however they pleased. Making him one of them, making him theirs. Anything, anywhere, any part of him. Just as long as they didn’t forget about him amidst themselves.

Summary
"it took him a few moments to fully process the commotion around the goal, different voices overlapping as both teams bickered over the usual bullshit that came after accidental contact with the goalie. it all sounded fuzzy, like someone stuffed cotton in his ears. it took him even longer to process that nick's voice was ringing out the loudest, over all other voices that were starting to muddle together. ... he was shocked to see nick then drop his gloves in one swift motion, gliding back slightly before grabbing at the other guy's jersey firmly and dragging him forward so he could nail his fist against the side of his head, which was also free from a helmet."

Summary
And Julian always liked when Nick grew out his hair. Reminded him, in a very far away, dark corner of his mind, of the thought he had when he saw Juliet run up and give Nick a hug after a particularly great set in Brazil. Her face was right next to his, and had she not had to stretch up onto her tip-toes to reach him, he might’ve mistaken one for the other.
That night, he slept with her for the first time. A month later, Fab and Albert were teasing him about her endlessly. Smitten, they were. Julian never lingered on the idea that he may have only pursued her because of that fleeting thought. Probably had no truth in it, anyway.
