Sev + August CH3 POVs [14k]
🕑 Added 2024-10-12 15:48:04 +0000 UTCHello! FIrstly, thank you for all the kind words and well wishes! Luckily, I managed to get through Milton with only minor problems the biggest one being that I didn't get to write as much as I wanted which made me behind. I apologize for the delay! I'm working on the band tier POVs, Q&A and other things for October. I hope I can get them out quicker than these haha
Anyway, here is the Sev and August POVs! Before I closed my inbox I got A TON of asks pleading for Sev's POV so I decided to slip it in here. I hope you enjoy and as usual, if there are any errors :) (might be considering I wrote this while working on Chapter 4 lolol)

The fact that I remember this scene: and I remember MC seeing Seven behind a tub of ice-cream with *coughs* *coughs* someone sparks something inside of me.

Is Luca Alvarez a RO too?

hey Amy, did you perchance ever discover anything abt this? I've been holding off reading in hopes it would magically start working but so far no dice :(
Cam
Tumblr! Don’t remember when exactly but it was a long time ago.
EvilChani
Ah, thanks, I must have missed that. In game, if you share the bus, it's implied that they sleep together every night. Do you remember where it was clarified to not be always? Tumblr or patreon?
Cam
It was answered a long time ago that 7 and Avina not always sleep together. It happens often but not always.
drukkna
I need u to that bc of this comment i replayed everything with them as Friends instead of exes and oh god u are right this is pure Entertainment 😭

ooohhh this is such a good point... my various guesses in case we dont get a Confirmed Answer as to why anytime soon: i guess it could be Seven being an unreliable narrator? either in having claimed they and Avina cuddle every night, or else how alone Seven feels at their hotel room? or perhaps it was an extension of, if you played exes!Seven, for Seven to want MC to *think* that was true?? i have no idea. maybe Seven doesnt feel like Avina "counts"? or maybe Avina leaves after a while?? i think, most likely, it might be a only-on-the-bus thing? (but i have chronic memory loss, im not a reliable source for who said what when and what the actual contents were VS the spirit of the thing) maybe Avina and Seven recently set up a new boundary where they stop doing that? that feels unlikely, but perhaps. or maybe its something Seven only does a night where, way back when, they wouldve been on such a high that Seven would have normally participated in drinking or hook-up culture? but uses Avina cuddles as a substitute, kind of like how a chain-smoker who wants to quit would use nicotine? or maybe that was something from before BOTB but they since stopped due to cameras and whatnot? who knows or maybe it was continuity error but its more interesting and fun to assume it wasnt a continuity error and that (cue a 70s stoner voice) "we just don't Get It, maannn" lol

i actually really want an Avina POV, in general(*), but youre so valid for wanting one for this moment specifically. whAT **WAS** GOING ON IN THEIR HEAD RIGHT THEN?? (*: i say "in general" bc i like seeing the ways they and Sev are somehow on the same page but in VERY opposingly seperate and different books. i cant stop shaking the feeling that Sev is going to snap on Avina and it's going to be at least somewhat similar to when Seven blew up on MC before perma-leaving; so im loving the build-up of seeing that and feeling so much pity for Avina while also being like "Avinaaaa, noooo, Avinaaa, stooppp" lmao which i would like to add that my ✨️hope✨️ is that **if** Seven and Avina do have a big fight, that it will parallel Seven and MC's but be "how that Sev/MC fight should have gone" and still end happily?? or at least have Seven matured enough to fix it asap and take accountability, while Avina also does some self-reflecting on their hand in catalysting this, that it's not 3 years of no-contact loathing and stubborn vitriol from Sev's end. that's what i'm thinking. or maybe fantasizing. but, regardless, i love seeing Avina and Seven's POVs on the same event. it is so crazily 🌈fun🌟 to compare and contrast their perspectives omfg i want Avina's car POV so badly lmao)

MY HEART HUUUURRRTTTSSS

"Seven can't go anywhere without seeing mc. Sometimes he sees mc in his dreams. Other times he swears he's hallucinating. Seeing things." mc haunting them lestat style IM EATING GOOD
jujubejulia
I love romancing seven as ex friends cause whenever anything remotely romantic happens they’re like whatttt
EvilChani
Why is Seven complaining about being alone in the hotel room when Avina is literally attached to their hip 24/7 and snuggles with them every night???
Roman
Can't believe August is as down bad for us as we are for them. This is almost too much! Vs the insanity that is inside 7s brain. They are so reactive and constantly projecting. Sir/ma'am pls get help 😭
Erina
reading seven's pov has me suffering from third degree yearns 😭😭
bumbo_wenus
i used to pray for times like this
Amy
😭
Amy
Thank you so much!! Writing Losery August was fun and you're def right about Seven lolol
Amy
😭
Amy
yes hehehe
Amy
LMAO
Amy

Amy

Amy
I feel the same way writing wise! August is quite refreshing for me!
Amy
the life of an infamous RO....hahah
Amy
LMAO its funny because it's also the SV van like Avina literally belongs there 😭

There's so many building blocks here. I have to first say it's incredibly satisfying seeing what Sev and August are thinking. They're such an interesting duo. Both have different mindsets, one has too much history the other not nearly enough and it shows in the povs with how differently they yearn for the MC. Seven lives and breathes MC and seems to hate that they can't kill that part of themselves or how much they rely on it. It fuels them no matter the response, they really are consumed with them and I love reading Sev so much because of how much angst and tragedy there is in the relationship. MC and Sevs relationship is about growing and changing and still finding one other and it truly speaks to my heart. I have to say, second chance romance was never a trope I liked till now, now I do everything I can to get extra content of this. And then beloved August is going through inner turmoil, but reading their POV, they are just so excited being near MC. It's like a breath of fresh air seeing that there isn't this expectation on MC from August because all of August expectations are on them and how they are representing themselves, the band, the parents, the show. It feels like MC uplifts them and it's wonderful. I want them to believe in themselves and so I loved being in their head for the couple of minutes we were allowed there. Marvelous POVs! Thank you 💜 thank you!

Hurricane Milton? More like Hurricane...more like...Amy I'm going to turn off the lights in my apartment and lie flat on the floor for 15 minutes.
Lysie
MAN. sev is capital W WHIPPED on mc
Mia
i NEED to know what avina was thinking when mc and seven were staring intently into each others eyes lmao
olive
also august is such a sweetheart and i love them so much. august you are everything to me!!!!!!! i cannot wait to finish a playthrough where my MC gets to be a nepo baby’s gf. they’re gonna be LOCKED TF INNNNN!!!! and i think its so cute how determined they get on a romanced route. “How many more moments like that will they have? They'll be spending the next few months together. Surely they'll be more. And if there aren't, August will do it themself. They'll make sure there's more.” LIKE PEOPLE DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i seriously love how the flavor text in the game for when august gets jealous is just them sizing up the competition likebfkdnkdkd so freaking adorable…………... that first kiss will be so delicious and i fear i may pass away as soon as i read the first few words of that scene
olive
it’s so cute how seven thinks they’ve moved on, and by cute i mean frustrating as hell like omg. please just let me fix this, baby please. i want u back bad. LET ME INNNNNN!!!! referring to the box that you have of MC’s stuff under the bed as a shrine… STILL KEEPING IT UNDER YOUR BED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS… dreaming of MC… getting mad on MC’s behalf… Protective over MC (them thinking MC would end up dead in the street if they left the van made me giggle so bad)… them struggling between not wanting MC to get the wrong idea about them and Avina but still wanting to spark some jealousy in MC to be petty, them still yearning for MC’s touch… All completely normal things to do when you’re over someone 👍🏾 “Avina is still here. She almost forgot.” LIKE GODDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it’s so interesting that Seven makes it clear that Avina would never be able to replace MC and will never play as much as a significant role as MC in their life. They talk about the loss of having someone to talk about everything to (MC), especially music, and how Avina filled the void to talk about music at least, but not the other bits. like hmmmmm……… Avina’s begging to be let in and Seven just dgaf😭 While seven does do surface level intimacy with Avina, like physical affection, there’s no actual meaningful intimacy there that you would expect out of a close friendship. Outside of their shared experience within the band, Avina knows so little but acts like they know everything. While it’s kinda funny when the cracks in Avina and Sev’s friendship show, it’s also deeply uncomfortable to witness😭

I SECOND THIS MOTION.

I'm glad you're safe after the storm!

Normally I like to rib Seven a little bit for being so ridiculous but this one genuinely made me sad. Their self-talk hurts. Whether or not the MC ends up with them, I just want Seven to be happy.
Sadie
Knowing Sev was ready to throw booze across the room at hecklers means everything to me <3
Ash
you're hurting me by realeasing them both at the same time, i'm such a whore for august but like....... seven.
Elizabeth
Read these while listening to sevens playlist & it was a huge mistake 😭 7's pov + maps by the yeah yeah yeahs killed me. My heart cannot deal with this. You WILL be hearing from my lawyers, I'm suing for emotional distress 🥹
Jacqueline
Seven's reaching down bad levels previously thought to be impossible by humans.
LovelyButterCup
Seven, they can never make me hate you, you down bad idiot 😭
Jacqueline
God no matter how hard I try to make my MC hung up on Seven, they always do it more. "I can't let them call a cab. What if they die?"
notionals
I somehow always end up surprised at how much Seven yearns when we get their POV😭 and this time around for August too!! My saves are going to be gigantic when the game is done😭
Kao
Seven is afraid Avina will do or say smth that will shatter this image they have of them (being good and kind etc.) It would kinda be like a repeat of what happened in the past and Seven is scared of that.
emelsi
Well, I just played through the Seven POV a couple dozen times...
Queen Hajinari
"Seven wants to savor it. He shouldn't want to, but he's gotten used to wanting things he shouldn't. No one else matters right now but if he thinks about it, since that day in middle school, has anyone else mattered?" "They'll be spending the next few months together. Surely they'll be more. And if there aren't, August will do it themself. They'll make sure there's more." THE YEARNING IS OVERFLOWING WITH THESE TWO.
Kao
Oh Seven, you sweet obsessive pathetic yearner i love you ❤️They're down so bad. Also, it felt nice seeing some cracks in their thoughts toward Avina lol I mean it's interesting and definitely some foreshadowing... But they are playing a dangerous game trying to make MC believe they moved on... what if an MC who was still hung up on them decided to finally move on after that, what then Seven? (i'm saying this but my mc wouldn't anyway lol). August's was sweet. I have been wondering why they pulled away from a potential kiss, but it makes sense. They're usually so suave and chill so it was funny seeing them being a bit more of a loser in their head over MC lol Btw i'm glad you're doing well all things considered and you didn't suffer much damage after the hurricane!!
Margo
'' For some reason, when it comes to Lixie, he wants to keep it to himself. Avina doesn't need to know everything. This can be just his. Like Lixie used to be.'' * covers her face and sighs * God damn it.
mizukilikeer
amy i hope you know im rotating avina and sevens weird ass friendship in my mind always. avina is like a blorbo in law to me. i am amused and saddened in equal parts when they get put on the mcseven cuck chair
Chellie
omg ok i will try to get over my weird guilt of being mean to text
mizukilikeer
"Meanwhile, Seven is in a constant state of fear around Avina. [They] worry about the inevitable moment Avina does something that ruins how [they] feel about them. [They] don't want to look at [their] friend and expect disappointment but [they] can't help it." what did the insufferable number mean by this
Ayyy lmao
"If the band isn't going to do it, Seven will. Someone has to." 7mancers are eating good tonight. same for those mc's/readers who are still a little bitter at the rest of the band
libb
I GASPED WHEN HE THOUGHT THAT LIKE DAMN SEVEN 😭😭
Cam
Oooh do it! You actually get 2 nice moments, 7 slipping and smiling at mc, and asking why did 7 sing to Avina
Chellie
can someone spoil me on the pov if u say sev's band sucks? i kno i can press it myself but i feel weirdly guilty T_T
bunnygoats
aufgust pierce im free on friday nights. please text me on friday night when i am free
Ana Victoria
I feel so bad for Avina lmao I hope we get an Avina pov at some point I'm loving the cringe
Teo!
Scrounged up the courage to read seven's pov and man. maaan. when the love is bitter and tainted but it's still love bUT it's just not sustainable in its current form. ooof.
darth
seven in mc’s pov: cold, indifferent, calculated seven in their pov: YEARNING YEARNING YEARNING
Froggz
If only Seven could look outside himself for 2 seconds and see how much pain the MC is in over him.
Cam
When the option to stare at 7 comes -> choose to stare and then smile at them ☺️!
Somewillwin
Whaaaaa. What option is that? I must know for science
Melissa
I do feel bad for Avina...but I also want their POV so bad, like what are they thinking during all this??? 🕵🏾♀️ Especially those moments where (based on your choices) Seven grabs MC to stop them from leaving the car or when Seven + MC are both just intensely staring at each other lol.
Somewillwin
SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL?! Se even has been in love since middle school?! Pls kill me now, I don’t think I can love seven anymore 😭
Cam
“For a brief, delirious moment, he wonders what it'd be like to kiss that mouth again. It's been so long that he forgot how they feel. Would it still be the same?” This is such a treat 🤭!!
Ashleigh
This is the most heartbreaking sentence I've ever read
bumbo_wenus
WAIT, so does that mean.... Seb's turn soon? plsplspl
lou
was in my feelings for a bit reading seven’s pov until I remembered my mc cosplays a lot and now I can’t stop laughing imagining how the scene looks on the outside.
june
torn between wanting an avina pov of the car scene to laugh at and not wanting an avina pov to protect myself from secondhand embarrassment… there are two wolves in me…
june
i cannot even imagine being avina in this scenario like i would just tuck and roll out of the car if i were them
Fumika
I love you Amy 😘😘😘 Reading Sev's POV, I was very moved😢😢😢 Sev, I didn't know that each time you interacted with MC, it caused such emotional turmoil in you. If MC knew your feelings at those times, surely they, like me, would have hugged you. You two are the OTP in the Infamous universe 😢 Amy, thank you for creating Sev, a character complex in thoughts and actions, but very lovable🥰🥰🥰 Right now, I just want to hug my own Sev 😭😭😭
luckyelixir
off to read the valentines day special to heal me from this
Teo!
August baby I love you so much <3 It's nice spending time in their head because while I adore Seven & O endlessly, August's presence is (comparatively speaking) a welcome balm to all the angst (which I still enjoy but you know, you know).
Vinny
This update just proved my theory is correct. All we need to do to get Seven to like us again is to get hit by a bus. WE’RE SO BACK BOYS (gn)
luckyelixir
just finished going through every choice in sevens POV and my therapist will in fact be hearing about this.
HellishHurricane
i love no matter how insane and down bad i make the mc seven is worser🥰
Kat Voight
August and seven are two peas in a pod. Both 2 overthinking messes and I love them both
Cam
Amy it hurts so bad 😭 it’s yearning, longing and anger and confusion all at the same time and it’s PERFECTION ❤️🩹 it’s the way 7 has that inner struggle when it comes to MC. They really are losing the idgaf war 😭😭
RandomGermanDude
Seven, my girl, I think I would actually die of exhaustion if I felt half as much as you do.
Salvatore
THNK YOU AMYYY
steph
we must donate seven’s brain to science like they are truly one of a kind (mentally) and i love peering into their brain even if it is emotionally taxing ❤️
keturah lewis
Omg seven bby, ugh I love him and hate him!!!! 😭😭
Mia
interesting how seven doesn’t want avina and mc to be in the same area in front of him yet the only one he’s wishing wasn’t there was avina. you’d think he wouldn’t be wishing away his supposed “best friend”😭
Amy
LOL
Amy
thank you so much sunday! <3
sunday
Glad you and your loved ones are safe after Milton! 💓
Amy
MC is Seven's end and beginning 😢
Amy
LMAO
Amy
😢seven is stubborn rn but i trust they'll open their eyes!!
drukkna
Seven is like that one meme where someone has a whole wall of pictures saying "I hate (Insert whatever is on the Picture)" only with MC 😭 GUY HAS A MINI SHRINE UNDER HIS BED!!
Amy
😭
Amy
yess! i hope all is well with you!! and your wish is my command 🫡
Aro
Hello Amy, hope all is good! I wanted to know if the scene of the photo op with Seven will also get a POV I'll give you someone's grandkids for it.
Ashleigh
It doesn't have to be this way, Seven😭 None of us want it to be this way. WE CAN FIX IT LET ME FIX IT PLEASE😭
koma
Amy, no one else has mattered to them since middle school. What am I expected to do with this information???? It's not fair
chocolatezz
I want to shake Seven so hard
Julia
"Avina is still here. [They] almost forgot." oh folks are gonna love this lmaooo :-( "[MC] got left behind and Seven doesn't like it. And Avina is laughing. " Literally that De Niro Joker meme. "You're laughing. [MC] got left behind and you're laughing."
sleepingcrows
"He has a box of Nico's things under his bed, untouched and collecting dust but it's there. A shrine of someone that no longer exists to him", this line really stabbed me in the gut. I long for the day these boys can actually talk things out 😢
Amy
