AND OH YEAH I forgot that one Pete/Mikey you did. Ah! I have to tell you, I had an epiphany of sorts. Ryan/Brendon = the new Pete/Mikey. y/y? Ryan could totally be 'the Pete' - attention seeking, not too popular with the internet (scratch that, he's basically the new internet hate figure), kind of dumb and reckless, ~artsy and ~deep, also kind of faily and arrogant etc etc and Brendon could totally be 'the Mikey' - quiet about the whole thing, a spectator, cool and there when he needs to be but good at backing off, too. It all fits. I was reading this really standard Pete/Mikey the other day - you know the kind of one where they aren't together but Pete gets all depressed and calls Mikey up and it's soft and sweet and achey - and that really works with Ryan/Brendon right now, too. You can imagine Ryan calling Brendon and being all the same. Can't you? Or am I just being insane? I want to write a fic with that dynamic to try and prove it. Oh yeah, and The Cabin = Summer of Like. Aww yeeah.
Also, I know what you mean about Mikey being difficult to write. He tends to be portrayed as introverted and quiet but jesus, I just started following him on twitter and the dude is hilarious! Also, Mikey/Pete cross twittering FTW.
Anyway, I actually like the ending of your BBB a lot more now you've explained it like that. At first I was a little unsure about how abrupt it was, but now you've put it in that context I think it fits.
I want to write a fic with that dynamic to try and prove it. Yes, please! You know I always love your fics.
And yes, Mikey drives me nuts! Because, in fandom, he's usually so quiet, but you're right! On twitter, he's super chatty and popular. I don't even know - he confused me so much. But Mikey/Pete tweets are PRECIOUS.
And I'm glad that my BBB answer is helpful. :D I really do love that story. (It's probably why I'm so defensive of it)
I literally just typed the last sentence of said fic when I got this. It needs editing so I'm not going to post it quite yet, but I can send it to you if you want? I kind of mixed it up - Brendon was more 'the Pete' and Ryan was more 'the Mikey' but I like how it turned out. I think. Or I will after edits. Anyway.
Mikey Way is so awesome. My crush on him has officially returned in full swing. I love MCR fandom right now; just as Panic started winding down, MCR feels like it's cranking back up again. This can only be good for the universe.
Please do send this to me!!! (saran219@aol.com) And yes, MCR is back and fuck! Have you seen Mikey lately? My friend and I were talking about how Mikey must have stolen all the hot from the band for himself (Frank isn't looking too good, imo, but it's okay, because MIKEY!)
