GCAU

GCAU (short for: groupchat AU) is the nickname for the we're all somewhere in the middle series. In September 2017, pettigrace stated writing it, as they have had a college AU in mind for a while but could not find a way to write it. One night, while plagued with insomnia, they started typing it down as a chatlog. It has since spiralled into very different directions than they had intended. It is still being updated as of February 2021.

Summary
In October 2017, Oliver Queen founded the LGBT+ club at Central City College. He invited several people into the groupchat, resulting in a core group fo 12 people.

The fanfiction is mostly told via chatlogs from this Groupchat, with the exception of a few special chapters showing a closer look into specific people's other chats and social media, and a part of the series written in prose that shows certain scenes only alluded to in chat (also named 'interludes').
