We honestly never thought we'd reach this point, but you are all incredible. Stories 1-110 have each been claimed by an artist! As we promised, and as asked, we're going to throw up the remaining unclaimed summaries for stories 111-170.
Any interested artists who have completed their current assignments/have yet to claim are welcome to. Please bear in mind that the deadline for art is still June 1st, and claiming at this point means you will have significantly less time to complete your fanart. However, we think it would be unreasonable to ask people claiming in this post to be ready with a status update on May 15th, like all earlier claimants, so you don't have to meet that deadline; we'll check in with you individually for an update a week prior to the June deadline.
(Please also bear in mind before making another claim that it's extremely likely that after June 1st, we'll be calling desperately for pinch-hitters if any artists assigned to fics 1-110 default! Our pinch-hitters last year were amazing beyond all hopes and expectations, and we still treasure and honour you as more precious than gold).

Incest.
Pete is a lot more perceptive than people give him credit for. At first when he starts noticing things about Mikey and Gerard, he thinks he's crazy. Soon he starts to lose sight of what's really there and what's just his imagination, getting more and more obsessed with the Ways. But when he catches Mikey and Gerard together one night at a venue, things start spinning out of control and Pete is faced with a whole new problem. Now that his suspicions are confirmed, what will he do about the situation?

Paranomality, Inc didn't really sign up to do the big jobs (unless you ask Joe). But when the hot spot for vampires and humans alike finds itself with a supernatural problem, Patrick, Pete, Joe and Andy step up to the plate. There's a lot more than meets the eye, and their little band delves into a growing mystery.
People were seeking them out for help; due to Patrick and Andy's intense and admittedly nerd-like abilities to seek out information, Pete's supernatural strength, and Joe's general helpful nature and his plethora of contacts, they were actually getting along quite well.

Bob does a good deed and is punished. Pete Wentz is now in his life, and with Pete come a myriad of things Bob had seen in that monster movie marathon last month (up to and sometimes including Patrick Stump, Joe Troman, Andy Hurley, and Matt Cortez). And Brian still refuses to pay Bob what he’s worth. He wants top shelf, damn it, especially if he has to deal with Pete Wentz for the foreseeable future and deal with the pets of gods sprouting prophesies about something that should have been a myth.
Then, just to make matters worse, Bob meets Frank Iero and his Gang of Incompetent Misfits. Sometimes Bob thinks he would have preferred to have been eaten in that alley.
“Vampires exist. Werewolves, demons, shapeshifters, zombies, every terrifying monster you ever feared was hiding under your bed is real, and a lot of them want to eat you for dinner.”
“Some of them even live under your bed!” Joe adds helpfully. "Just for the added convenience."

Brendon Urie, famous solo artist, is finally working on his second album, but it's coming along a little slower than he'd hope. He can't help it-he has a son to take care of, someone who he puts in front of everything. When Pete, his boss, gets restless and demands he starts working on the album, he brings Brendon a lyricist to help him get it finished. As the work progresses, their friendship progresses-but what happens when feelings do the same? What's Brendon supposed to do when Ryan's off limits in more ways than one? And what about Brendon's own relationship with Jon?
There's only so much temptation that can be held in.

They're excited about getting to hang out with Bob and Ray and tour with a band--and then they start getting into romantic shenanigans.

Brendon/Ryan; surprise Spencer/Jon on the side
Last summer, Ryan Ross was on fire. The three of them landed at JFK at 3:00 in the afternoon on a Friday in July, and that very evening convinced a very straight, very stoned dude from some dumbass experimental sound collective that was playing nightclubs in Manhattan to quit using his laptop to make airplane noises and join an unknown indie rock band of homeless gay vegans from Vegas, instead. And also, to put them up for a few nights.
And at the very end of the summer, after they'd done a ton of shows and recorded a demo and found a place to live at this hippie compound in Brooklyn - when Jon was finally looking comfortable, and Spencer seemed pretty satisfied with their progress, and their music was just getting better and better - Ryan convinced Brendon Urie that he was madly fucking in love with him and that they should be boyfriends forever.
This summer, shit is going downhill.

Brendon Urie was never a bright kid. After high school, he skipped from job to job, careless and free. And it was this very attribute that got him in trouble with the Mafia. Now, in order to spare his own life, he must work directly under the CEO of a weapons manufacturing company, helping to steal a package which contents remain unknown. Will he survive his new life of fast car chases, back robbery, and slouth? Or will he end up serving 25 to life for helping wanted fugitives in their goal of bringing humanity to its knees?

When Pete Wentz decides to write a soap opera, he doesn't do it small; he does it HUGE and gets everyone involved. But is the real soap opera the one playing out for the television audience with Spanish villas and pirates and evil, sinister betrothals or the one behind the scenes that involves pill poppers, awesome partiers, live chickens, romantic gay love, wacky Three's Company Two mix ups and betrayal of the worst and most heinous kind? Well, that's kind of up to the crazy mix of actors, musicians, various crew and production members to decide for themselves. Even if they are the ones in the thick of it.

Sixteen-year-old Brendon Urie has just been uprooted from everything he knows and sent to Bishop Gorman in an attempt to remove him from the bad influences at his public school. Seventeen-year-old Ryan Ross is a senior with no real idea of what he wants to do with his life other than get the hell out of Las Vegas. The two have nothing in common but when Ryan accidentally stumbles upon Brendon's most shameful secret, they're inextricably drawn together and they have to make a decision: fight the inevitable or accept that they are more to each other than just two ships passing in the night.

Brendon’s good at math. Ryan isn’t. In fact, Ryan’s so bad, he needs a tutor. In fact, his tutor is Brendon.

“I’m going to hell,” was Butcher’s first thought when he noticed young Adam T. Siska lurking about. Not that the Butcher believed in hell, exactly. And if anything it might have been more appropriate to say “I’m in hell” given the weather that day, and the fiery scene his paint brush was sketching out along the bottom of the wall. But as he crouched, knees aching, yellow and orange paint smeared halfway up the outside of his left forearm, peering up at the boy towering over him all Butcher could think of was his eminent demise would come at the hands of the scrap of seraphim before him. So there he crouched, suddenly in the boy’s shadow, with sweat trickling slowly down his spine. Frozen in the middle of the noonday sun on the hottest day Chicago had seen all summer.

Bob/Brian
R
Pretty much from moment one, Bob develops a giant crush on Brian. Making friends, flirting and getting him into bed are no problem, but Brian is a hard guy to pin down (figuratively, at least). Once they've started out casual and under the radar, Bob has to figure out how to get the relationship he wants without tipping his hand and sending an oblivious and commitment-shy Brian running for the hills.
They fight, they break up, they kiss, they make up, Bob gets ticked off when his life starts to look like a Katy Perry song, Brian lacks self-awareness, and Gerard gets to deliver a verbal bitch slap.
When they wake up the next morning, things are surprisingly not awkward. Brian has woken up next to one of his guys a million times, so it’s hardly a new situation, although he very rarely finds himself engaged in a full-body cuddle. He can feel Bob waking up behind him, but rather than getting tense, he pulls Brian more securely into his arms and mumbles something incoherent into his shoulder. Never one to look a gift snuggle in the mouth, Brian wiggles a little so he’s more comfortable, and stays put.
Brian figures it’s maybe a little bit gay, but so is he, so that works out okay.

Patrick has been the biggest thing in Pete’s life for forever - he was there back when Pete was just some kid with a dream, through the rough years of getting Clandestine Industries together, and he never ever did anything to make Pete doubt how much he loved him.
Things are going along well, until Patrick starts work with a new band. They’re a hardcore band out of Jersey, with two albums under their belt. Patrick invites Pete to a label party to meet them, and Pete meets Mikey. Before he knows what’s happening, he’s involved in a full-blown affair with Mikey.
It’s not too long until the lines between right and wrong, Patrick and Mikey, and the things that are important to Pete begin to blur, so much so that his life feels totally off-track. After some mis-communications and hidden crushes, the secret is made public, and Pete has to deal with the consequences.
Features Gerard the disapproving brother, bad-ass Frank, a Lindsey who will take no shit, and Ray the goofy pastry chef who just wants to drum. Also appearances from male model Ryan and enterprising new designer Brendon.

After having fallen in love and then breaking up while writing and recording Pretty Odd, Jon and Spencer struggle to find a working relationship in the face of their fraught history. Can they ever get back what they once lost?
Spencer leaned against the table and poked at Jon's nose. "You're always sure of this stuff. It sucks. One day you're going to have no clue what you're doing and none of us are going to be able to tell because you're just going to say, 'Hey guys, everything will work out fine! Let's smoke a bowl and talk it out.' And then two days later we'll find out we're all bankrupt."
Spencer leaned down to rest his head against the table before Jon could stop him and then quickly jerked back up as he seemed to realize that it was a bar table, and he should possibly not be putting his face there.
"Spencer," Jon said, trying his best not to laugh too hard at him. Spencer had a bad habit of remembering people who wronged him while he was inebriated.
Spencer looked up from where he had been contemplating the table's surface.
"There's a long way between selling millions of records and going bankrupt. We'll figure it out as we go along, okay?"
Spencer didn't seem particularly convinced, mumbling, "That's not what Behind The Music says," into his empty glass, but he let it go.
