Fanfic meme!

Shuffle your recs however you choose and post the first lines (or first few lines) of the first 15 fics that turn up. Have other people guess the fic and author in the comments.
1. The last leg of the tour creeps up on Pete between trips to water parks and shows and stolen kisses when he’s not paying attention. One second he’s got a whole summer to figure Mikey out; the next he knows Mikey inside out and wants to learn more, only there’s just five fucking shows left on the tour.
2. Adam hums thoughtfully at the array of clothing choices he has scattered across his living room furniture and looks up at Kris like he can actually help.
3. In Los Angeles, valet parking is critical. Adam can afford it and always, always uses it, if for no other reason than that they can keep his dumb ass out of court for DUI. But the club he'll be walking into tonight has no such animal and never will, so he pays off his cabbie a couple of blocks away from the door and walks.
4. The lights were off because Kris was asleep. He didn’t think that was an unusual arrangement.
Or okay, he wasn’t asleep yet, but he would be soon. He was almost there - he was so close, just drifting in that comfy place right before tumbling over the edge into oblivion, and when Adam came into the room Kris didn’t move or say anything to alert Adam to his presence, because that would pull him back from the edge.
5. Brendon looks around, guilty-eyed, before picking up the bell and smashing it through the glass countertop. With his fingers wrapped tight around it, the bell doesn't even ring. There's a convenient hole in the glass now that Brendon reaches through, gingerly grabbing part of the strap as he pulls the pair of goggles back up through the hole.
6. Pete meets Mikey Way at a show, any show, the name of the band doesn't matter. Pete's tired and twitchy around the edges, running very close to empty. A show is exactly what he needs, something rough and meaningless. Pete just wants to scream for a while, feed off the exhaustion in his veins, and maybe then he'll be able to get some sleep.
7. Bob has plans that mostly involve having absolutely no plans at all when Mikey Way calls him up and says that they're all in town for a while, and does Bob wanna meet up somewhere, grab some coffee and catch up?

8. "Did you guys know we're all having sex with each other?"
9. Kevin froze. The dilapidated factory was full of mice and vermin, and the echoes made it hard to track noises to their source. He strained his ears, relaxing slightly as he heard the faint squeaking and clicking of tiny claws across the cracked concrete.
10. Ryan calls Brendon and says, "So, I'm thinking about having a sit-down birthday party, what do you think?"
11. It's not like Alex means to jerk off listening to Justin Timberlake. He's just listening and it's good and, well, okay, so maybe he waited until his family was out of the house. And maybe he dimmed the lights and got undressed and stretched out on his bed, but it wasn’t like he consciously planned it. He just liked his alone time, and the CD was in his player, and sometimes he liked to lie naked in bed and think about things. The jerking off was an accident or, well, not like he did it against his will or anything, but it honestly hadn't been planned.
12. They make out sometimes. It's not like it's a thing. Ryan's always got one skanky girlfriend or another, and Spencer sometimes does, though he likes his girls prettier and cleaner than Ryan's.

13. "Mom says she's bought too much for dinner and we have to go over there to help her eat it all," Brendon says, wandering into the kitchen and not even trying to hide his yawn. He rubs sleepily at his eyes and drops his cell phone on the counter, leaning over and stealing some of Shane's coffee.
14. It's something like 3:30AM when Adam's cell phone buzzes in his pocket, and it takes him four buzzes to actually get it out of his pocket since his pants are that tight, and also Brad somehow managed to cover Adam head-to-toe in this glittery stuff that makes it really hard to grip his phone.
15. The first time it happened was a total accident. Frank was sitting on the floor, back to the couch with his legs stretched out in front of him, and Gerard came charging through, saying something excited about clouds of ink, and he wasn't looking where he was going and he got his foot tangled between Frank's and went down face-first, narrowly avoiding braining himself on the Playstation.
