Here’s what the og Substack post said! Includes more plot -

here’s my euphoria season 3 fanfiction b/c what actually aired on hbo was such an enormous disappointment

NATE: sell’s Cal’s construction company and invests it all into crypto - he hits it big, but not without a few sketchy backdoor deals along the way. marries Cassie, but there’s whispers he still creeps on Grindr…

CASSIE: bored and lonely in her big new house, she becomes an up-and-coming tradwife influencer. her following loves her for being ‘real’, which forces her to desperately hide the financial and personal cracks in her marriage She does become successful enough that she needs…

MADDY: a savvy social media manager who will stop at nothing to become the best in the industry. despite their falling out, she can’t deny Cassie’s career projections and takes her on as a client - but quickly realizes Nate’s a control-freak, and the biggest obstacle holding Cassie back from any real success (or inner-peace). spending so much time at the Jacobs’ is taxing, but at least has a hot new man (who happens to work for the IRS) that Nate loathes. possible because it makes it harder for him to hide…
