Faustus is a prodigy, but his thesis just got rejected, his mental health is in shambles, and his family's solution is to send him back to high school. Time to make a deal with the devil, shoplift, party, and get the girl of his dreams before time runs out. Mephistophles is a homeless teen who just conned his way into an elite boarding school, and his roommate is delusional and thinks he's the devil. He can work with that. Loosely based on Kit Marlowe's 'Doctor Faustus'. This is a feel-good one, I promise. I wanted it to have a Young Royals sort of flavor where while bad stuff happens it's low-key comforting to go back to. Trigger/Content Warnings: Teen homelessness discussed. Moderate to mild peril.
