Ryan/Brendon
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: accidental drug overdose, drug use

When Panic splits up, it’s about the music, but it’s also about what Spencer thinks Ryan needs to do-which is strike out on his own. Things get messed up when it’s clear that Spencer and Brendon are going to finish out Panic’s contract and Ryan withdraws from them. Brendon tries to keep communication lines open through a series of emails that Ryan doesn’t know how to respond to. When things start falling apart for Ryan-the coke habit that until then has been a “social thing” spiraling out of control, Jon leaving to be with Cassie, TYV falling apart-he accidentally lands himself in the hospital, and Spencer, who’s still his next-of-kin, is called in. Spencer and Brendon come, despite all the time apart and the fights, and the three of them work to rebuild their relationship, as Ryan figures out who he is, and where he needs to go from there.

Warnings: None
A Sliding Doors AU - In the autumn of 2005 in New York City, Gerard lives a mediocre life with Bert; they share a small apartment, but Gerard (sober for just over a year) pays for most of the expenses while Bert spends any spare money The Used make on alcohol and drugs. After a terrible morning, Gerard, dejected and depressed, finds himself standing in front of a bar. Tempted, he hesitates. Should he go in, give in, revert to the jobless loser he once was? Or should he move on, catch a train home?

The choice he makes will impact his life in ways he can’t even imagine. If he does not enter the bar, he’ll board the subway, meet an annoying little shit named Frank, and get home early enough to catch Bert cheating on him. If he does stop to order a drink (even though he won’t drink it) he won’t have any idea of his boyfriend’s infidelity, and life will continue on as it was.

This is the story of two parallel universes, reflected in each other, but taking different lines. And ultimately proving that Gerard is the person he always is, with the same soul, no matter what life he’s living.

Warnings: None

Vague fantasy au/bandverse. Frank's been saying he's saving himself for Gerard Way for years, and discovering that his new house/bandmate is actually friends with Gerard should make things easier. But it's bad enough that Gerard remembers Frank as that one freakish, stalkery fan that followed them from venue to venue, not to mention the fact that it's hard to make any progress when everything that comes out of Frank's mouth makes him sound like a giant asshole. Oh, and how Frank's trying to keep his stupid elf magic from outing himself and Brendon to a national audience. Featuring Panic! as a fivepiece, My Chemical Romance (where Bob's still around) +Matt. Sequel to existing fic, but can be read as stand-alone.

Jon has traveled all over the world, but when he meets Ryan Ross in Mysore, India he instantly falls for him.

Ryan Ross is a yoga teacher from Chicago who is in India to improve his skills for his students. When Jon approaches him he is hesitant but quickly falls for Jon, who is charming and gorgeous and totally infatuated with Ryan.

When Ryan leaves, Jon follows, but as things fall into a routine, new problems arise. Some things can be fixed, and some cannot…

In which Jon is a photographer, Tom owns a gallery, Ryan owns a yoga studio with William, Empires is a bar and everyone who is anyone knows about Decaydance. A story of love and all the complications that come with it.

When Patrick Stump met Pete Wentz, he would have never imagined that just over two years later he would be the owner of Sugar & Spice, his very own, brand new, bakery. The new husband of an eccentric millionaire, Patrick's first few months owning a bakery are definitely not what he expected. Amid being the latest local scandal and dealing with a neurotic husband, Patrick is faced with the struggles of running a work environment full of the craziest employees he had ever met, as well as planning for two major events for the shop to deal with. With mounting pressure at the bakery, will Patrick overlook the slow unraveling of his husband's faith in their relationship, or will he be able to save their marriage before it's too late?

FOB, MCR (Background: CS, TU, PATD, TAI, Green Day, Good Charlotte, Travie McCoy, Joe Jonas, Ashlee Simpson)
Pete/Mikey, Pete/Ashlee, and a lot of background noise pairings.

Warnings: Technically, there is a lot of character death. Also, there is an incest-y undertone and unflattering portrayal of vegans/vegetarians.

"If you're going to date me," Mikeyway says, not even looking up from his sidekick, "you're going to have to beat down all of my evil exes and my brother. Sorry."
Pete Wentz is just your average bass player in a kind of shitty band that is somehow kind of popular. He happens to be dating a pop star, which is the music industry equivalent of dating a highschooler to make yourself feel better. Mikeyway is a sweet little dude with a way overprotective brother and a league of twenty evil exes. He sometimes pops up in Pete's dreams and seems mostly indifferent to the fact that Pete is fighting for the right to date him (even though he's only gay above the waist). Somewhere in all this, Pete has to take relationship advice from a Jonas Brother (one of the ones not dating Mike Carden), try not to die a horrible and painful death, lament the fact that his own band has slept with Mikeyway, and hopefully ride off into the sunset on a unicorn with Mikey. Ready? GAME START.

Rating: Mature
Warnings: Abortion; the body dysmorphia issues of a trans man (which in this instance means some body hatred, some discomfort about sex, and a rejection of femininity).
Jon Walker came out as transsexual when he was thirteen years old, and has spent every day of his life since then building walls and perfecting his sense of denial and doing everything in his power to forget he was every anyone but Jon. Over a decade, he's gotten pretty good at it.

Unfortunately, denial can only go so far, and when Jon ends up in a situation he can't get through with his usual coping mechanisms, he starts pushing not to forget who he was, but accept who he is.

Warnings: minor character death

He peers confusedly up at his rescuer in a way that he hopes doesn't make him look like a complete idiot or a damsel saved by her knight in shining... um, t-shirt, despite the fact that this is essentially what has just happened.

He opens his mouth to speak. What he means to say is thank you. What falls out instead is, "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm your fucking fairy godmother," the guy drawls, lighting a smoke. "Who are you?"

In a moment of truly dazzling social dexterity, Gerard promptly forgets his own name.

Normality is a funny thing. Gerard-the-awkward-kid-who-works-in-a-shop had more of it than he knew what to do with. Gerard-the-equally-awkward-kid-who-needs-his-life-saving-on-a-regular-basis has none at all anymore and would quite like it back, thank you very much. He doesn't know quite what happened to his life, but he's positive that Frank had something to do with it. What's only making things worse is that he's equally positive he knows Frank from somewhere - if he could only remember where from...

“My name is Ryland, and it's been four days since I eviscerated someone.”

“Hi Ryland!”

Gerard has been running Serial Killers Anonymous for a while now, and it’s a good outlet for them all. Things start to change though, when he finally confronts Mikey about what he’s been doing the nights he gets back from the bar after dawn. Mikey agrees to go to placate his brother/boyfriend, not because he feels remorse. If they really didn’t want to die, they’d be more interesting when they beg for their life.

Meanwhile, Brendon’s just had an amicable break-up with Jon, a fact he could not convince his best friend Ryan of in a million years. Unfortunately for him, he has to listen to Ryan’s rants about evil boyfriends and Jon being just the latest in a string of admittedly poor choices, all day as they work together in Ryan’s fashion boutique. He’s out urban exploring for Ryan’s ~inspiration~ when he stumbles upon SK Anon. It’s easy to fall in love. After all, they’re reformed, right?

The problem comes when one of the S K Anon members reverts to their old ways, triggering a collective jump off the wagon. However, with every cloud comes silver lining, and giving in doesn’t always make you weak. Sometimes it takes action to make a house a home, and a group a family.
A story in which Cash gets divine inspiration from a Kelly Clarkson CD, working at Borders never stops sucking, and Frank would like to film the frequent Brendon Vs Filthy Way House battles and charge people to watch them.

Brendon is a (reluctant) prince from the planet Aeternitatis on the run from a rebel uprising trying to over throw his kingdom. Taking refuge on Earth, he enrolls at Summerlin High School where he learns that being a prince doesn’t mean being cool if no-one can know about it, that homework is a special kind of hell, that he’s going to need all of his charm (and a little bit of magic) to win over the ever sarcastic and intriguing Spencer and that falling in love is a whole other adventure.
With the help of his bodyguard Zack and his aide Dallon, can Brendon survive senior year, get his boy, save his kingdom and realise his true potential as the future king of Aeternitatis? He sure hopes so.

When you're one of Hollywood's most sought after young actors, what could possibly be wrong with your life? Spencer Smith has the world at his feet. He has two of the greatest friends and he's strangely popular considering the movies he has listed on his resume, but his life isn't that wonderful-especially when the whole world thinks he's gay. He doesn't let it bother him until he meets his new female co-star, Brendon Urie, who is also under the impression that Spencer's gay. It complicates things when he develops feelings and falls in love with her. He can't tell her the truth with the risk of being shunned by Hollywood, so Spencer tries to go about his life, being her friend, but it's not enough. He wants more. He's just not so sure how to go about getting her when he's supposed to be dating his best friend and she's very much taken. Trying to convince Brendon of the truth will be Spencer's toughest role yet.

‘Mikey stops taking his pills the day after Gerard takes all of his at once.

It’s a beginning of sorts.’

Out in the zones, there’s very little holding Gerard together - Mikey is trying his best, but something’s been praying on Gerard’s mind for years and even he isn’t sure what it is, apart from the nightmarish flashes of dark eyes watching him.

They’re doing almost alright until the roadhouse run by the semi-legendary ex-Zonerunner Jet Star is hit by a BL/ind patrol and Gerard and Mikey finally decide to let someone else run with their crew in order to help track down the kidnapped motorbaby Grace.

However, it isn’t until they make a shocking discovery during an attack by the sinister masked Draculoids that they can even begin to find what they’re each looking for…

Brendon gets kicked out of his house because he refuses to fight his addiction to drugs. He hitches a ride to New York, finds a roommate and a job, and everything seems to be going fine. He has a roof over his head and drugs in his pocket. But then, when he meets Jared, his new dealer, and sees Ryan Ross, a sex slave that Jared uses to make some extra cash, he can't stop the feeling that maybe there's something out there that he cares about more than his drugs.

Acting on a whim, he steals Ryan away and plans to help him gain back the life he never had. But he soon learns that Jared doesn't like when people take his things.

Warnings: Homophobia; offscreen homophobic violence; rejection by family

(Sexswap: Spencer and Brendon have always been girls.)
Spencer and Ryan didn't want another girl in the band, but Brent's right: Brendon is better than anyone else they've seen. What they don't know is that Brendon's also deep in the closet, until rejection by her parents sends her flying out of it. Spencer's hopeless crush, already a target of loving ridicule by Ryan, is inflamed by Brendon's new, rainbow-sporting look and attitude. Can Spencer keep it under wraps? Does she want to? And just how much pot can four disaffected teenagers smoke, anyway?

Gen with background Mikey/Jon and minor mentions of Gabe/OFCs
Rating: R
Warnings: dystopic society, one scene with suicidal thoughts(no follow through), mentions of alcohol abuse in one section, violence, & kidnapping of a secondary character(off screen).

Time as a construct is pretty straight forward. Every action has a proper reactionary path unfold in front of it. Sometimes, though, one single act, something innocent and good, can cause the correct path to detour into dark, unforeseen places.
In a timeline that shouldn’t exist, Brendon is the assistant to an ailing psychic who works off the grid of normal society so she doesn’t get arrested for being ‘abnormal’. Gabe is an ex-fbi agent with little hope left after quitting the fbi because of an accident that made him different. And Ryan is a psychic trying his best to fix everything that’s gone wrong.
Changing the future is impossible now, but tweaking the past is not. With the help of friends, Ryan plans to do just that and, in the process, perhaps finally set things right no matter the cost; sometimes it takes paying in blood to make everything right again.

Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Ghost porn, voyeurism, and... reverse character death? Whatever, Brendon's a ghost, which means he did, in fact, die, so.

Ghost!Brendon AU. Brendon is a ghost! Ryan moves in with him! Brendon has a crush on Spencer, but won't let Ryan tell Spencer that Brendon exists, in case Spencer's creeped out by him! Ryan and Jon and Spencer start a band, and Brendon helps Ryan write songs when the others are around, since they don't know he exists, but he's frustrated that he can't join in for the rest of it. Sad, awkward ghost love with a happy ending and some fuzzy cuteness along the way. Guest starring Gerard, Mikey and Gabe!
"We could have Jon come over, right, and maybe we could even have a band again, Spence." Ryan elbow's Spencer's side, smiling kind of hopefully, eyes twinkling, and Spencer grins back at him, giving in, and wow, Spencer's grin is blinding, it’s possibly the source of all good things in the universe, including unicorns and puppies and possibly several of Brendon's wet dreams. So maybe Brendon won't whoosh through the house screaming about anything at all. Spencer is sort of disgustingly hot.
There are times, very frustrating times, times like right now, that Brendon really wishes he weren't a ghost.

Ryan's dealing with the realization that Jon's going to be graduating in a month and he isn't, Spencer's trying to figure out how to get around to losing his virginity, and Brendon's got all this stuff going on he's not telling anyone about.

Brendon Urie/Ryan Ross, some Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: References to prostitution

Living in the Zones had taught Brendon Urie not to trust people - especially not the ones he met in his line of work. As the sweetheart of Club Called Heaven, his days were spent pretending to be everything his clients wanted him to be. With the rates he charged, it was the least he could do. It wasn't a perfect life - it wasn't even a good one - but it was better than anything he'd ever managed on his own. Safer. He kept his head down, minded his own business, and tried not to think about what he'd do if things went south.

Ryan Ross was a man with a problem - he was in debt with the Killjoys. There were worse ways to pay off the favour he owed than by doing a bit of research on the kid who worked in Room 1, though, so he figured he'd gotten off light. Too bad Better Living had other ideas, plunging Ryan into the middle of a rescue operation he never signed up for.

As a rule, the Killjoys had no trouble cleaning up after themselves. They weren't prone to stupid mistakes, and certainly didn't have a habit of making rash decisions. Unfortunately for them, desperation was a dangerous thing - one that lead to blown covers, betrayal, and broken trust.

“He went to Queen of Peace his senior year,” Ray says.

They attended the same shitty ass school but so did hundreds of people, and Frank can’t really remember any of them, except for the handful of turds who made his life a living hell for four years and cost his mom a lot of fucking money in therapy and drugs that didn’t fix him.

He's fairly sure that dealing with a flight attendant and a pilot who are slowly falling in love, a hobo who insists he's allowed to sleep in the depature lounge, and developing a crush on the cute kid in Customer Services weren't included in the job description.

Pete has been the owner for approximately three years.

"Three years and three months," Patrick corrects him, scrolling through another page of useless statistics on his computer. "Since October 2002."

Three and three quarter years. "This is why I love you, Patrick," Pete says. "You know, like, everything."
"No," replies Patrick, dully. "There's a plaque in your office that says 'Pete Wentz, Senior Management, Clandestine Airlines, 23rd October 2002.' You put a poster of The Smiths over it last week."

A hooker AU. When Mikey has to leave home Frank insists on going along too. Together they make a new life, until Frank gets sick and everything changes.

In his fight to pay hospital bills and just keep going, Mikey makes some difficult choices, not all of which are necessarily for the best. Along the way he meets new people, including Jon, Pete, Bob, Ray and Lindsey, but especially Ryan and Spencer, who are there to catch him when Mikey hits rock bottom.

This is a story about strength and a will to keep going, about friendship and how it comes from the most unlikely of places. About how when you most need it, someone will hold out a hand.

Clandestine Station is the end of nowhere - a mining station located on a remote ice planet, far away from any other populated system, with no breathable atmosphere and very little contact with the rest of the galaxy. In short, it's Patrick's worst nightmare ... and he's just been assigned to work there. When he arrives, however, he finds the station populated by a surprisingly cheerful bunch of people, all of whom welcome him with open arms. Patrick fits in better than he ever expected, thanks in large part to Pete, Clandestine's de facto manager. Patrick just might have a raging crush on his new boss, not that he intends to tell him about it.

Eventually, though, Patrick gets exactly what he wanted: a transfer to a far more civilized planet. Only he's not entirely sure he wants it any more. When a disastrous storm strikes Clandestine, Patrick is forced to confront his deepest fears and decide once and for all - does he want to go home, or is he already there?

The Killjoys do as much damage to Korse and his followers as they can, and until now, they've been lucky enough to avoid getting caught. But Korse's mission isn't to just kill them, it's to hurt them--hurt Gerard. And to do that, he uses Frank. After a traumatic, death-defying escape, Frank sets out with the guys to get revenge. Set against the backdrop of the sweltering California desert, and in between the car chases and the gunfights, Frank has to let himself heal and learn how to respond to Gerard's feelings.

“Bren?” Spencer waited for Brendon to hum at him before continuing.“You like it here, right? Even if we’re the only...”

“Slaves?” Brendon whispered the word as softly as he could. “They’re good here. They never yell, or not at me, anyway. And Bill came to get you just because I asked.”

The way he pressed closer, curled a little more into Spencer’s side, meant he’d done more than ask. Spencer wanted to beg Brendon to tell him about that night, about whatever he’d done after he’d seen Spencer locked in the too small cage with the same travelling sales house Tom had bought Brendon from. In the past three weeks, Spencer had learned really quickly that Brendon had deemed the topic not up for discussion.

Spencer pulled his hand out of Brendon’s but wrapped his arm around Brendon’s shoulder quickly. “They... seem okay. But I don’t...”

“It’s almost like being at Saporta’s again,” Brendon whispered. He hid his face against Spencer’s neck. “Except.”

“Except for Ryan and Jon, yeah.” Spencer pressed a soft kiss to Brendon’s hair when Brendon shuddered, just a little. If they hadn’t been touching all along one side, Spencer probably would have missed it; Brendon was ridiculously good at hiding things.

After a tragic loss, Jon Walker sets out to get away. Away from family, away from memories, and maybe, just maybe, away from himself.

He ends up in Lorelei Springs at an inn owned by Bob and Greta Bryar, and runs into the resident 'fix-it' guy, Brendon Urie. Brendon has a bright façade, but holds his own sadness. The two become friends and eventually Brendon talks Jon into staying in Lorelei Springs. It's a quirky little town (like small towns are sometimes wont to be), but Jon finds himself relaxing, slowly healing, and becoming a part of things.

That is, until the night of Brendon's 21st birthday when things get all shaken up again by a blast from Brendon's past - in the form of one Spencer Smith.

One would think that agreeing to an arranged marriage would make Spencer's unhappy, but actually he has nothing against the practise. Spencer has never spent any time imagining swooping romances for himself so settling for something more practical is fine by him. (Especially as it is very beneficial to the family business.) What he did not account for was his best friend Ryan getting entangled in a very unsuitable affair, or that he himself would find that he only wanted his new spouse Brendon to be happy. In a few short months Spencer finds his whole orderly life turned upside down, but perhaps that is not such a bad thing?

Bob Bryar is the best witch in the whole damn scene, even if he does say so himself. Which is just as well, because he's got responsibilities, most of which involve his charge, Gerard. Mainly, Bob's supposed to keep Gerard from falling down a well, or losing his sketchpad - little things, but Bob is a conscientious guardian. But when it becomes obvious that Gerard and Frank are hopelessly, silently in love with each other, Bob suddenly has bigger things to worry about. Nothing he's tried has ended in the declarations of love he'd been aiming for (not the fireworks, not the sunsets, not even the four hours they'd spent in locked in a closet). In a last, ditch attempt, he resorts to real spellwork, the epic, Cinderella kind, and now Frank and Gerard are stuck in a romance novel... with only one way out.

Now, over a year later, Ryan wants nothing more than to focus on his relationship with his boyfriend Shane, run his store, and have as little to do with ghosts as he possibly can. But fate has other plans when a young detective from the Homicide department comes in Ryan’s store, saying that someone from Ryan’s past as a Medical Examiner and a ghost witch says Ryan’s the best at what he does.

It's the last year of Prohibition, and bootlegger Frank Iero wants to sever his ties to the world of organized crime and go straight, but his mob connections have other plans for him. No one would like to see Frank get away from the mob more than Gerard, but he's got problems of his own--like the fact that he's a cross-dressing cabaret singer constantly struggling to keep his true identity secret from those who can't be trusted. With the help of a devoted brother, a detective who just might be as trustworthy as he claims, and a wealthy, eccentric Scotsman who features prominently in Gerard's past, Frank and Gerard just might be able to get out and start a new life together, but it's not going to be easy.

Warnings: Bullying, what could potentially be seen as self-harm, might be triggering, graphic violence.

A rise in technological and medical advancements combined with an unexpected surge in mutations around the globe can only mean one thing: superpowers. As a child born before the information boom of 2010 rocked the world with the official news of these "SuperHumans", Frank Iero was kicked out onto the street at nine years old. His power seems to be more of a curse than a blessing: his body creates and leaks a net of energy that sets those who are unaware of it on edge. He is saved at first by a rogue agent of the government who understands the plight of the homeless children, and then by a small team of government agents who bring him into The Institute: an underground compound set up by the government to teach those with emerging superpowers how to control and use their gifts.

Frank finally has a place where he seems to belong, and a group of friends: Mikey Way, a telepath; Gerard Way, whose body is a vacuum that neutralizes energy; and Ray Toro, a healer. All is far from perfect, however. Frank’s powers and training are put to the ultimate test when he has to fight both evil and betrayal to save not only the world, but also the best family he’s ever known.

Gerard hates his job in the art department at BLI.

But when Frank is fired, Gerard quits his job too, and with Mikey’s and Ray’s help, sets off to find Frank, irritate Korse, and turn art into revolution.

This is an epic origin story, showing how the MCR guys wound up in the situation we see in the “Na Na Na” video. It features LynZ as the once-bitten-twice-shy leader of an all-girl motorgang; Pete, Gabe, and Travie as Battery City art-punks; Bob and Brian working the underground music scene; and a metric fuckton of post-apocalyptic worldbuilding. You might also like to know that we’ve written Show Pony as an explicitly genderqueer character, and that the little girl

Taste of Chaos 2005 is shaping up to be My Chem's best tour yet, until the night Frank walks into his hotel room and finds himself face to face with a dusty, sun-kissed, older version of himself. Who has a raygun. But who won't tell him anything about where he's from.

Their strange but memorable encounter should be the end of the story, but a tech fuck-up rips the wrong Frank out of 2005, dumping him in a harsh, sun-baked future where his once band-mates live hard and on the run, emblazoned with colour. Fighting to stay alive and off the grid.

With Fun Ghoul stuck in the past, Frank may very well be trapped in this future, living his life but with fourteen years taken out of the middle and a gun strapped to his chest. Tour life is rough, but it’s nothing compared to the life his future self has to live. He gets more than a glimpse of what's to come - things he'd like to forget and things he can't wait for.
