The Background Blues is a 2021 story by [[WellTemperedClavier]]. As the title implies, it features backgrounders. The story opens with [[Shane]] and [[Backgrounder|Mason]] foolishly attempting to smoke a joint in the school auditorium, and
This is especially obnoxious for students who'd preferred to spend lunch outside the cafeteria, like nerdy [[Backgrounder#V-Neck|Victor]] and pious [[Backgrounder#Priscilla|Priscilla]], who'd both found sanctuary in the library. Not willing to put up with the obnoxiously (and probably illegally) crowded cafeteria, the two set about trying to push back against Li's new rule. When their initial petition fails, they search for more devious solutions...

Though Victor and Priscilla are the main characters, numerous other [[Backgrounder|backgrounders]] are also featured. [[Kelly]], [[Dawn]], [[Josh]], [[Bob]], [[Backgrounder#Spike|Spike]], and [[Kia]] all get time in the spotlight. So too do some backgrounders who aren't typically named, like [[Backgrounder#HappyGirl|Happy Girl]] (now named Rebecca) and the [[Backgrounder#Nerds|nerds]] (now named Gary, Nate, and Paul). Some of the main cast also make appearances.
The Background Blues won Favorite School-Centered Story and Favorite Use of a Background/Supporting Character for the [[2021 Daria Fanworks Awards]]. It was also nominated for Favorite Overall, Favorite Drama, and Favorite Character Development/Redevelopment/Growth. Victor was certainly quiet for a long time, but much like in the story, he knew how to make an appearance.
