Title: Empty The Sky
Author: girlmarauders
Band: My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy
Pairing: Mikey/Alicia, Pete/Patrick
Word Count: 18,910
Rating/Warnings: PG. No warnings.
Summary: Imagine a world. Not one world, but several. A whole system of worlds, suspended in space, rotating in their endless orbits and populated by billions of humans.
Welcome to The Home System. Here, humanity has escaped extinction at the price of equality. The world is divided into nine castes and the path of your life is defined by the caste you are born into.
Michael James Way was born hekima, the intellectual caste of academia. His brother and his father are doctors and Mikey is expected to follow the path of his life as defined by his birth. Conforming to his family’s demands, Mikey sleeps through his days, hoping only to go unnoticed. But a trip off-world soon sends Mikey’s world spinning.
Deep space has a way of playing tricks on you and life aboard The Fall Out might just be the shock Mikey needs to wake up from the life he’s been sleeping through.

Author's Notes:
I had, again, two fantastic betas who helped me every step of the way. Thank you misprintify and moony_journal who were great right up the end.
My amazing thanks and awe goes to delphinapterus, my mixer, who made an lovely, interesting and thoughtful mix which I've been listening to non-stop ever since I got it.
Also, massive massive thanks go out to the bandombigbang mods who were very patient and kind even when I lost my internet and turned in my final draft five days late. Thank you!
For vanilla_fiend who is keeping me sane
