McFly/Panic At The Disco (Tom Fletcher/Ryan Ross)
7,762 words, pg-13, third person. For hypaethral, because she asked me to, and because she's a shameless enabler who knew I wanted to write it anyway. Title is taken from Vertebrae, by Christine Fellows. A huge, huge thank you to britchick5000 for the beta/britpicking! For reference,

FIIIIRST.

OMG MADDY I LOVE YOOUUU. I WOULD ASK YOU TO MARRY ME BUT I BELIEVE I'VE DONE THAT ALREADY, AHAHAHA.

I HAVE TO LEAVE IN LIKE FIVE MINUTES SO I WILL LEAVE A BETTER COMMENT LATER! BUT EEEEEEEE LOVE. ♥ SO MUCH LOVE.

[skyfalling]

Ugh, this. Just. ♥ Okay. I think what I love most about this is all the little details that characterize the boys. Like, the fact that they're doing a charity event? Very much in tune (hah) with what McFly already do, and then Ryan's... RYAN-NESS. You know? *is eloquent, obvz* WHAT'S ANOTHER GOOD WORD FOR MYSTIFY! WHETHER AN A-FLAT OR G-SHARP LOOKS BETTER NOTATED! HEEEE. And the music! Making sweet, sweet music together, yes. (And now I want them to collaborate IRL, what.) And Brendon and Danny's pub shenanigans! And Tom being a put-upon mother hen! Heeee. And, I don't know, I just really, really like the scenes where Tom's asleep in Ryan's bed and where Ryan is sitting on Tom's doorstep, just listening. They are awkward!sweet, and those are always my favourite kind of scenes. (Along with UST scenes. I just like tension! Especially when it's tension that gets resolved! \o/)

Aaaand now for typos:

lyrically? track numbers? something else entirely?

YOUR HTML BROKE'D. ♥

before the door slide open

TYPO!

You have written anything that

[addandsubtract]

I AM GLAD THAT YOU LIKE IT! As, well. It is for you! Seriously, it's hard to capture just how ridiculous Ryan Ross is, so I'm glad you think I managed it. I just. RYAN ROSS. I don't know how he exists, really. (I was so, so worried about characterizations, because, well. There are so many of them all at once, and that gets complicated. So I'm glad that you can still see them being the people they are, even if they don't all get enough screen time.)

♥

(Also TYPOS FIXED! I always miss a few. Sigh.)

It's wrong that I was imagining Danny/Harry/Brendon threesomes the whole time, isn't it?

SERIOUSLY THOUGH. MADDY. OMG. THIS IS SO AWESOME? I MEAN. RYAN ROSS. I DON'T EVEN LIKE PANIC!?

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I wish I could quote stuff but I should already have been in bed like an hour ago, but I just HAD to read before I went to sleep.

♥♥♥

[addandsubtract]

NOT WRONG AT ALL. That would be some hot porn, yes? YES.

I AM GLAD THAT YOU THINK IT IS AWESOME! BECAUSE, WELL. RYAN ROSS! HE'S RIDICULOUS! I LOVE IT!

I love it when you quote stuff at me, I'm not going to lie! But sleep is also important sometimes!

I am so happy that you like this! ♥♥♥

[evolia]

OMG! As I was saying, THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY KISSING! But I feel so happy and satisfied! Oh, dude, you are the only one that could make me read such a pairing and feel happy about it. Although, just like Von, I have had flashes of Harry/Danny/Brendon.

But, still. They are so perfect! And the pace of that fic is so wonderful, it's so soft and like. A bit out of time. I don't know how to explain, but let me just say, I was enthralled and I loved every word of it.

HOW DO YOU DO IT? YOU ARE TOO GOOD.

[addandsubtract]

THEY WERE JUST TOO AWKWARD TO KISS! Like. It was hard enough getting them to hold hands, seriously. They are like teenage girls! (Also, you know how I feel about the Harry/Danny/Brendon. In that I want to write drunk!porn. So.)

I am glad! Pacing is so hard, sometimes, so I'm glad this was too slow. I'm all about taking my time with fics, but I know sometimes that makes things drag! So, thank you!

YOU ARE TOO NICE TO ME, ELLIE. SERIOUSLY.

I fell in love with this story pretty much instantly. As soon as I read ryro@gmail.com (and that was, what, the third line?) I knew I was going to like this story. You write so damn well it's not even fair sometimes - you captured the awkwardness of Ryan spot on, I think. And it wasn't an idyllic story where they meet and instantly fall in love, this was so much more real - the growing admiration. Basically, I loved this ♥

Oh yes, and also...EGYPTION RAT SCREW FTW!! XD

[addandsubtract]

Thank you so much! I love love love including emails and texts in fic - I'm glad that the email address was amusing, ha. Ryan is just so ridiculous, I tried my very best to accurately write that. It was a lot of fun, I'm not going to lie. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this. ♥

SERIOUSLY, RIGHT? BEST GAME EVER.

[addandsubtract]

Thank you! I'm glad that you gave this a chance and read it anyway! ♥

Ha! I can't promise, but I do want to dabble elsewhere in this universe. We'll see what happens! :D
