Brian Schecter, made of awesome!
Brian Schechter rocks! There totally needs to be more Brian fic in bandom. He's just that kewl : ) He's pretty much the one guy in bandom that I like with practically anyone. He's like bandom's version of Xander. So, to celebrate my renewed interest in bandom, and especially Brian, here are a few of my faves.
Send Me An I.O.U., I’ll Send You Another Chance by in_decisions
Band(s): MCR, The Used
Pairing: Bob/Brian
Word Count: 30,000
Rating: NC-17
Author's Summary: In which Bob Bryar’s Operation: Ease Brian Into A Relationship Without Him Noticing almost turns into a 5-year plan. Or, Brian Schechter, Super Manager is an oblivious failboat in his personal life.
Okay, this was a Big Bang fic that I just fell in love with. I cannot even explain the sheer awesomeness of this story. Bob! He is so persistent in his goal! I love to the nth degree this type of relationship fic, and it reminds of some of my favorite clex fic.
No Time for Haters by secrethappiness
Bands: MCR
Pairing: Brian/Gerard
Word Count: 771
Summary: Gerard is Brian's first visitor after rehab. He shows up on Brian's front door with a big plant and bleached blond hair. Brian's honestly not sure what shocks him more, the plant or the hair.
This was just so cute! It makes me smile.
Wait for the Morning by harborshore
Bands: MCR
Pairing: Bob/Brian
Rating: R
Word Count: 11,200
Author's Summary: Bob kidnaps Brian at too damn early o'clock to go on a stupid "photo quest" for Gerard's artistic vision or something, and Brian's pretty sure there are ulterior motives but Bob is acting weird and he can't quite figure it out.
Brian is just so oblivious in this, but eventually he catches on : ) I really liked the slow build-up, and the interaction between Brian and Bob.
Putting the B Back in Subtle by algernon_mouse and secrethappiness
Band(s): My Chemical Romance, The Used, slight Fall Out Boy
Pairing(s): Bob/OMC, Bob/Jepha, Bob/Brian
Word Count: 29,137
Rating: NC-17
Authors' Summary: In which Bob Bryar gets a real job, grows up a little, puts the drums aside, becomes a touring sound engineer, drinks too much, repeatedly goes against his better judgment, hooks up with Jepha, gets sucked in by the earnestness of My Chem's message, is dumped by Jepha, joins MCR, develops an inconvenient crush on Brian Schechter, nearly dies, and says something he's been meaning to say for awhile.
This is more of a Bob fic, but I really do love the parts about Brian.

Forever, Now by harriet_vane
Bands: MCRA
Word Count: 77,800
Author's Summary: Gerard and Mikey have lost their parents, but they've found Brian.
This is the first story in a series, all of which are excellent. This one is one of my favorite fics in bandom -- I'm a sucker for kid!fic and au's, and this one is both. Forever, Now is long and meaty and it just might have made me tear up a time or two. Everyone in bandom has probably read this already, but I couldn't leave it off my list of Brian faves.
