MCR/Panic gen (some Brian/Gerard, some Ryan/Mikey)
21,642 words, third person, pg-13. This is, essentially, an alternate timeline au - what if, way back in the beginning, Ryan had gone to Gerard instead of Pete? A huge thank you to moorfaerie and kawaii_tenshi27 for betaing for me. You guys are awesome, and any remaining errors are mine

i love this so far.

also: omg, kawaii tenshi27 - what is that icon from?

[kawaii_tenshi27]

A friend made it for me, when I used part of the line as a chapter title. It's from Harry Potter (HBP). Remus Lupin, talking to Harry about James's reaction to the werewolf thing. :) (I have a bit of an HP addiction.)

Thank you! And, seriously, thank you for listening to me rant all the time about this, and finding all my typos and such things. You are pretty awesome! ♥

Maybe I'm just a bitch or I'm stupid and you're not talking about the album I think you're talking about, but MCR's first album is called I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, not Bring Me Your Bullets. Maybe you jumbled it on purpose, I don't know, but I figured I should point it out just in case.

[addandsubtract]

Well, the abbreviation is purposeful, but the tense change is not. Sometimes I fuck things up, and then don't notice, ha. Thanks for pointing it out!

[forochel]

two words: BRIAN SCHECHTER!!

[addandsubtract]

HE IS KIND OF MY FAVORITE, NOT GONNA LIE.

[forochel]

HE IS SO AWESOME. MADDY, I DEMAND THAT HE BE SUPERMAN IN YOUR HYPOTHETICAL SUPERHERO!AU.

[addandsubtract]

HE ALREADY KIND OF IS SUPERMAN. A REALLY HOT SUPERMAN. OH BRIAN, HOW SO COOL?

Ryan writes almost non-stop for the duration of the five weeks, curled up on Spencer’s bed, or at the kitchen table when his father is out, or sitting at the counter in the Smoothie Shack while Brendon is at work. He pushes the streams of unpolished and unedited words at Brendon during breaks and doesn’t meet his eyes. He knows that Brendon treats them with care, always, but he still can’t watch, just in case. Just in case this time is different, and Brendon doesn’t get it - it hasn’t happened yet, but Ryan’s still waiting. He can’t help it.

I have so much love for the way you write about people.
And seriously, all the bandom writing you do has actually gotten me into Panic - so I blame you for all the money I spent buying CDs on itunes last night.

Totally worth it though.

[addandsubtract]

Ugh, wow, that's kind of the biggest compliment ever. Writing about people is what I love doing, so it's always good to know that I'm doing it alright! And, seriously, converting people to Panic? Something I never mind doing. Pretty. Odd. is so good! It really, really is. Also, they are pretty adorable, not gonna lie.

(You could always come all the way to the dark side and start writing Panic fic. Y'know, if you ever felt like it.)

[exmptfromsanity]

Mayhaps this will require some IMing, and some looking at some other bandom writings. Any reccommendations?

(yeah, I've totally done some little ramblings on my breaks at work)

[addandsubtract]

I definitely have recommendations! Any particular bands, or are you sticking mostly just with Panic? And I'll be online more in the near future, so feel free to IM me. :D

(Ooh, awesome! This is good news, if you ask me.)

Hi. I'm in love. This flows so perfectly and it just seems so real. If Gerard got to Panic first this is how it would go. It makes perfect sense that My chem would have them tour first and foremost, because they place such an emphasis on it as well.
I love how you alternate the POVs between Ryan and Gerard. You'd think it'd be weird but it just works out perfectly. And excuse me while I swoon because: Brian oh god how are you so wonderful?
