The Fragility of Hope (Mavi)

IMPORTANT NOTE

I've already said it, but I'll say it again. This won't be the happiest of stories, and there's a few things I'd like to point out before you start reading.

1. Here's your MAJOR trigger warning for heavy mention of depression and suicide.

I don't want anyone to hurt/offend/force anyone into a relapse because of this story. Here's your warning, and it's one of the only ones you'll get.

2. This is fiction, and nothing written here reflects my personal opinion on any of the members of Pentatonix.

This should be obvious, but in the past on other sites I've had a lot of backlash for not mentioning this key point. No, I don't think that Avi's vocal range is getting higher. No, I don't think he's depressed. I think everyone in Pnetatonix is a fantastically kind human being. This is fiction. Is there a reason I'm writing this? Yes, it's because I'm mavi trash, and this is just a story I had in my mind.

There's another few things I'd like to point out just because I can.

1. This story takes place sometime in the future; not exactly sure when, so let's just skip over the tightly woven details of that, yeah? I'm sure you can make safe assumptions in your mind, when I mention events that haven't exactly happened yet.

2. This focuses a lot on Avi's vocal range. As a contralto, I go through a lot of similar struggles to hit low notes; lack of sleep and talking too much makes it harder to hit low notes. Ever wonder why Avi doesn't talk a lot during interviews before shows? He's saving his voice, and Scott even says so in an interview.

3. This is more of a slow burn fic, so strap in. It's gonna be a journey. The active plot doesn't really take off until the third chapter, so stick with me until then :)

That's basically it; I hope you guys enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoy writing it <3

(also I had so much fun making this cover I love it very much and I hope you do too)
