Brendon lives with his big family on the farm, and Ryan, a boy from a big city, who has seen cows only as hamburgers, is forced to move into neighborhood (idk, some family issues? the reason is up to author). Ryan's a real asshole, who thinks he's better than everyone else just because he comes from a city, he says he won't mingle with peasants and insults Brendon at the beginning. As time passes, they start to get along with each other slowly (maybe Ryan's forced to help on Brendon's farm? again, up to author, just you know, from mutual hate to mutual love). And there's a lot of things like "Ducks, fucking ducks, take them from me! They'll bite me!" and "I won't help you dig out potatoes, I'll get dirty" and "Oh my God! SPIDER! Help!".

She is publicly known as the girl drummer in Panic!, has to discuss womanly things, such as periods, which she's, you know, never experienced, with Keltie. Has to deal with coming out as trans to the people she cares about, worrying that Brendon's (ex)mormonism will make him not okay with it, possibly falling in love with Brendon. All the while dealing with the sexism of the music business, the wandering hands of various drunk lablemates/perverts, and having to answer question upon question about being the only girl in the band during interviews.

A future AU, where technology has turned against humans and people have to fight to survive.
41. Bob/Gerard (Optional)
MCR and related bandom folk take on roles from the Sherlock Holmes universe:
Gerard = Holmes -- still a big, earnest geek, but also intense and scary-smart and a bit tormented
Bob = his (unmarried) Watson -- still steady and loyal but less...dry and stodgy
Lyn-Z = Gerard's Irene Adler
'Mikey' is short for 'Mycroft' instead of 'Michael' :P
Other roles up to author
Optional but not necessary:
Gerard/Bob!
Casefile story!
Gerard struggles with cocaine addiction a la Holmes, or is struggling to recover from it.
Instead of playing wacky music on the violin to help him think, Gerard paints wacky, surreal canvases.
Gerard is very good at disguises, but particularly when he is required to be in drag (what? It would totally be true!).
Moriarty! Gerard and Bob tangle with Moriarty, either in a basic casefile or possibly something along the lines of "The Adventure of the Final Problem" (in which it appears that Moriarty has been killed but took Gerard with him). If that last, plz to be including happy reunion when it turns out Gerard is not dead? (Could be something like in "The Adventure of the Empty House," or some entirely different scenario.)
42. Bob/Ray
H.G.Wells inspired shenanigans with accidental time machines in the bus studio, robots gone amuck in New Jersey suburbs.
43. No pairing specified
Gerard and Mikey travel to Ankh-Morpork, looking for a job/long-lost relative/both, meeting Ray the warlock (because he'd make an awesome male witch) on the way. Once in the city, shenanigans ensue involving a certain member of the Thieves' Guild (Frank) and the long-suffering Hero Bob "The Beast" Bryar (because every hero needs a stupid name). Gen is fine, Bob related pairings are encouraged although not necessary, bonus points (and my firstborn) for a City Watch cameo. If you manage to squeeze in Pete Wentz being the provider of bananas for the Unseen University's librarian, you are probably the coolest person to ever live and I will love you forever.
44. Bob/Ray
Homeless AU
45. No pairing specified
Alien AU: make them aliens. They must look alien-ish in some way (even if it's just Star Trek original series style aliens [blue skin = alien; pointy ears and a bowl cut = alien]). Bonus points if they have customs or skills or habits that are not human-normal. Gerard, Mikey, Frank and Ray (and Matt) come from the same planet/solar system; Bob is from another. Could be an alien band AU; or a high school AU except with aliens; or an Everybody Has Boring Cubicle Jobs AU except they're aliens and getting to and from work requires interplanetary travel; could be an adventures in space AU. Author's discretion. Extra extra bonus points if Bob plays a significant role.
46. No pairing specified
Apocalypse AU, except not depressing. Make the apocalypse fun! Wacky! Exciting! If you can swing that and still kill off most of humanity, go for it; or be creative in your interpretation of 'apocalypse.' Extra bonus points if Bob plays a significant role.
47. No pairing specified
Little Mermaid AU: Bob is the little mermaid, one of the other guys is the prince.
48. No pairing specified
Pride and Prejudice AU: Bob is Darcy, Ray is his sweet and earnest friend Bingley; Gerard and Mikey are Jane and Elizabeth (up to author to pick which is which. Age-wise, Gerard should be Jane, but he's a lot more like outspoken Elizabeth, so. *hands*). Feel free to make up a role for Frank if none of the existing P&P characters are a good fit.
<>49. No pairing specified
AU involving wings: if MCR all had wings, how would their wings be unique to each of them? And/or life as a person with wings -- could be they were born with them, or the wings just sort of sprouted one day. Bonus points for humor (for example, Bob sprouts wings and it is really fucking annoying because they get in the way and knock shit over and get in Gerard's paints and ARGH, Bob totally fails at having wings).
50. No pairing specified
Superhero AU: either assign them an existing superhero to be (i.e., Mikey is Batman and Gerard is Robin, etc.), or make up superheroes. Optional, but I would really love it: Bob's superpower or superhero appearance does *not* involve super-strength.
51. No pairing specified
Fantasy AU: MCR as fantasy creatures, or with fantasy creatures. For example, Bob and Ray as tiny delicate fairies! Or, Mikey is sad because the unicorns ignore him (he's not virginal enough, alas)! Or, MCR training baby dragons! Etc.
52. No pairing specified
I don't think I've ever seen an AU where Bob Bryar is a preschool teacher, and this needs to be remedied asap. He's the one who said the entire band would probably end up having kids, he's way happier/funnier/smilier than people give him credit for, and I just desperately want to read a story where little children spend their days climbing him, asking for more juice, and calling him "Mr. Bob". Possibly with lisps. And okay, it's entirely possible Bob sometimes brings a stray dog he's found on the side of the road and coaxed into his car to class (he couldn't just leave the poor dog alone!) and they have a special project day where they learn to bathe and feed it, and they have to draw a picture of the dog for class. The class guinea pig is so jealous of the attention! And either one of the guys is a single dad of one of Bob's kids, or a bandom canon couple have a kid in his class, and they fall in love with him and have to woo his unsuspecting ass.
53. No pairing specified
Battlestar Galactica fics -- they meet as survivors; some of them are civvies requisitioned in, some are from Pegasus, Mikey is a Cylon.
54. No pairing specified
The Dreamers AU. Paris in the '60s, Frank's a visiting American student and ends up all tied up with more-than-just-siblings Gerard and Mikey, listening to Hendrix, smoking and talking about revolutions.
55. Gerard/Frank/Lyn-z or Jamia, Gerard/Mikey/Lyn-Z or Alicia
Y Tu Mama Tambien AU
56. No pairing specified
Welcome to the Dollhouse AU. It's a wonderful 90s movie -- a bully who is mixed up in violence/drugs and a student who gets picked on by everyone at school end up liking each other and going out secretly, although the bully doesn't really know how to make it happen except by using force and being mean in public and then kind of awkward and sweet in private).
57. No pairing specified
Construction worker AU. Macho testosterone homophobic workplace, drinking hard, tattoos, sweat, muscle, and fucking random women at bars at night. Secret gay shenanigans go down and sexuality crisis ensues!
58. No pairing specified
Cabaret AU. Casting of Gerard as Sally Bowles should absolutely be encouraged.
The Cab
59. No pairing specified

64. Pete/Mikey
"Dangerous Liasions" AU
65. No pairing specified
Leverage AU.
66. Brendon/Spencer and Frank/Gerard
Supernatural/horror/suspense AU. The Apocalypse is coming and, in order to figure out when/how/who's resposible for it, not only will Pete&CO. (namely, rest of FOB) have to join forces with the Dandies (since they don't have any interest in being anihilated either, thankyouverymuch), they'll also have to leave their suspiciouns aside and accept Father Way's help - even if his team includes a werewolf (Bob) and an ex-con (Frank).
67. No pairing specified
A multi band apartment building AU. Everyone living in the same building and getting to know one another through meetings in the laundry room, halls etc.
68. No pairing specified
Americas Next Top Bandomer. All crammed in one house, bitching, jumping naked in the pool, doing photo shoots.
69. Brendon/Pete
Brent never becomes friends with Brendon in high school. Maybe, Panic! still happens, I don't know. Brendon ends up in Chicago somehow (maybe, he runs away there. maybe, he goes to college there, etc.) and meets Pete. Stuff happens..maybe, Pete still signs Panic! and Brendon meets the band and they become friends and he ends up joining. Maybe, Pete and Brendon become friends first before they start dating. Maybe, they hook up and then become friends and Pete discovers how talented he is and eventually, starts to fall for him. Maybe, it's Brendon who chases after Pete. He's a stubborn guy and he's not going to stop until Pete stops being an emo jackass and admit that they could be awesome together. Who knows. Everything's up to the author. There should be more Pete/Brendon! They're so fun and their dynamic is so interesting, especially if you consider the early days, when Pete was messed up and Brendon had family problems. Now, look at them today. They're happy. Look to their tweets and FOB Blink updates for inspiration!
70. Gerard/Patrick
Patrick is the new, shy kid in school, who everybody picks at, but Gerard thinks he's fascinating and befriends him. You know, geeks in love.
71. No pairing specified
In which they are all a part of an organization working to pass a non-discrimination ordinance. And/or, GAY RIGHTS ACTIVIST GROUP!
72. No pairing specified
In which they are highschool teachers. Or, okay, older bandom people could be teachers, younger could be students, whatever you're into.
73. No pairing specified
Nudist colony fic. Gerard wants to be able to let it all hang out, but he has too many hangups. Lynz wants to help him out with that.
74. No pairing specified
History Boys AU -- could be Americanized too (all about getting into Ivy Leagues), with Gerard as the only-slightly-older teacher who comes in to help get them into the top schools. Frank as Dakin who is banging the school secretary but develops an admiration-crush on Gerard. Posner could be anyone, not-so-secretly pining for Dakin, never getting anywhere with it. I feel like Pete or Gabe could also be Dakin and it could totally work. With or without the pedophile-teacher sidestory... Could be about art or music rather than history.
No Band Specified
75. Bandom goes "Star Wars"
76. Bandom in culinary school.

85. American Apparel Employee hipster AU. Playing obnoxious art-rock and '80s music in the store, wearing clashing colours (and a hangover) to work, sneering at customers and so so many tight pants and big sunglasses and scarves that it's absurd. Hipster shenanigans at night, standing outside bars smoking cigarettes and judging people and only liking bands no-one has heard of and obscure vintage clothing stores.
86. University AU --- a TA/Prof relationship/hookup/UST/whatever. Especially playing up all the things that make it so wrong and all the lines that shouldn't be crossed!
87. "Empire Records" AU

Apocalypse AU, except not depressing. Make the apocalypse fun! Wacky! Exciting! If you can swing that and still kill off most of humanity, go for it; or be creative in your interpretation of 'apocalypse.' Extra bonus points if Bob plays a significant role.
47. No pairing specified
Little Mermaid AU: Bob is the little mermaid, one of the other guys is the prince.
48. No pairing specified
Pride and Prejudice AU: Bob is Darcy, Ray is his sweet and earnest friend Bingley; Gerard and Mikey are Jane and Elizabeth (up to author to pick which is which. Age-wise, Gerard should be Jane, but he's a lot more like outspoken Elizabeth, so. *hands*). Feel free to make up a role for Frank if none of the existing P&P characters are a good fit.
<>49. No pairing specified
AU involving wings: if MCR all had wings, how would their wings be unique to each of them? And/or life as a person with wings -- could be they were born with them, or the wings just sort of sprouted one day. Bonus points for humor (for example, Bob sprouts wings and it is really fucking annoying because they get in the way and knock shit over and get in Gerard's paints and ARGH, Bob totally fails at having wings).
50. No pairing specified
Superhero AU: either assign them an existing superhero to be (i.e., Mikey is Batman and Gerard is Robin, etc.), or make up superheroes. Optional, but I would really love it: Bob's superpower or superhero appearance does *not* involve super-strength.
51. No pairing specified
Fantasy AU: MCR as fantasy creatures, or with fantasy creatures. For example, Bob and Ray as tiny delicate fairies! Or, Mikey is sad because the unicorns ignore him (he's not virginal enough, alas)! Or, MCR training baby dragons! Etc.
52. No pairing specified
I don't think I've ever seen an AU where Bob Bryar is a preschool teacher, and this needs to be remedied asap. He's the one who said the entire band would probably end up having kids, he's way happier/funnier/smilier than people give him credit for, and I just desperately want to read a story where little children spend their days climbing him, asking for more juice, and calling him "Mr. Bob". Possibly with lisps. And okay, it's entirely possible Bob sometimes brings a stray dog he's found on the side of the road and coaxed into his car to class (he couldn't just leave the poor dog alone!) and they have a special project day where they learn to bathe and feed it, and they have to draw a picture of the dog for class. The class guinea pig is so jealous of the attention! And either one of the guys is a single dad of one of Bob's kids, or a bandom canon couple have a kid in his class, and they fall in love with him and have to woo his unsuspecting ass.
53. No pairing specified
Battlestar Galactica fics -- they meet as survivors; some of them are civvies requisitioned in, some are from Pegasus, Mikey is a Cylon.

55. Gerard/Frank/Lyn-z or Jamia, Gerard/Mikey/Lyn-Z or Alicia
Y Tu Mama Tambien AU
56. No pairing specified
Welcome to the Dollhouse AU. It's a wonderful 90s movie -- a bully who is mixed up in violence/drugs and a student who gets picked on by everyone at school end up liking each other and going out secretly, although the bully doesn't really know how to make it happen except by using force and being mean in public and then kind of awkward and sweet in private).
57. No pairing specified
Construction worker AU. Macho testosterone homophobic workplace, drinking hard, tattoos, sweat, muscle, and fucking random women at bars at night. Secret gay shenanigans go down and sexuality crisis ensues!
58. No pairing specified
Cabaret AU. Casting of Gerard as Sally Bowles should absolutely be encouraged.
The Cab

Clockwork Orange AU, with the boys in the same gang, or rivalling ones.
64. Pete/Mikey
"Dangerous Liasions" AU
65. No pairing specified
Leverage AU.
66. Brendon/Spencer and Frank/Gerard
Supernatural/horror/suspense AU. The Apocalypse is coming and, in order to figure out when/how/who's resposible for it, not only will Pete&CO. (namely, rest of FOB) have to join forces with the Dandies (since they don't have any interest in being anihilated either, thankyouverymuch), they'll also have to leave their suspiciouns aside and accept Father Way's help - even if his team includes a werewolf (Bob) and an ex-con (Frank).
67. No pairing specified
A multi band apartment building AU. Everyone living in the same building and getting to know one another through meetings in the laundry room, halls etc.
68. No pairing specified
Americas Next Top Bandomer. All crammed in one house, bitching, jumping naked in the pool, doing photo shoots.
69. Brendon/Pete
Brent never becomes friends with Brendon in high school. Maybe, Panic! still happens, I don't know. Brendon ends up in Chicago somehow (maybe, he runs away there. maybe, he goes to college there, etc.) and meets Pete. Stuff happens..maybe, Pete still signs Panic! and Brendon meets the band and they become friends and he ends up joining. Maybe, Pete and Brendon become friends first before they start dating. Maybe, they hook up and then become friends and Pete discovers how talented he is and eventually, starts to fall for him. Maybe, it's Brendon who chases after Pete. He's a stubborn guy and he's not going to stop until Pete stops being an emo jackass and admit that they could be awesome together. Who knows. Everything's up to the author. There should be more Pete/Brendon! They're so fun and their dynamic is so interesting, especially if you consider the early days, when Pete was messed up and Brendon had family problems. Now, look at them today. They're happy. Look to their tweets and FOB Blink updates for inspiration!
70. Gerard/Patrick
Patrick is the new, shy kid in school, who everybody picks at, but Gerard thinks he's fascinating and befriends him. You know, geeks in love.
71. No pairing specified
In which they are all a part of an organization working to pass a non-discrimination ordinance. And/or, GAY RIGHTS ACTIVIST GROUP!
72. No pairing specified
In which they are highschool teachers. Or, okay, older bandom people could be teachers, younger could be students, whatever you're into.
73. No pairing specified
Nudist colony fic. Gerard wants to be able to let it all hang out, but he has too many hangups. Lynz wants to help him out with that.
74. No pairing specified
History Boys AU -- could be Americanized too (all about getting into Ivy Leagues), with Gerard as the only-slightly-older teacher who comes in to help get them into the top schools. Frank as Dakin who is banging the school secretary but develops an admiration-crush on Gerard. Posner could be anyone, not-so-secretly pining for Dakin, never getting anywhere with it. I feel like Pete or Gabe could also be Dakin and it could totally work. With or without the pedophile-teacher sidestory... Could be about art or music rather than history.

Bike mechanics or bike messengers, where the guys wear ironic Tour-de-France hats with the brims flipped up, have spacers in their ears, always have their jeans and the sleeves of their plaid shirts rolled up, ride expensive racing bikes or pimped-out chopper bikes, and are constantly wiping chain grease off on things.
85. American Apparel Employee hipster AU. Playing obnoxious art-rock and '80s music in the store, wearing clashing colours (and a hangover) to work, sneering at customers and so so many tight pants and big sunglasses and scarves that it's absurd. Hipster shenanigans at night, standing outside bars smoking cigarettes and judging people and only liking bands no-one has heard of and obscure vintage clothing stores.
