Word Count: 69 000.
Rating/Warnings: R. Sexual content, cartoon-style violence and supernatural themes.
Author's Notes: The greatest of thanks to our marvellous betas,
elucreh and
nova33, who did yeoman's work to impose order on our chaos. If there's a slip-up anywhere, it's through no fault of theirs. Title from Bruce Cockburn's Lovers in a Dangerous Time.
Summary: It turns out that happily ever after really only is something that happens in fairy tales, and life as a vampire slayer is certainly not one of those.
Three months after realising the dude of his dreams is in fact interested, Spencer Smith is finding that there's more to a relationship than smooth sailing and late night makeouts in cemeteries. With a strange pack of werewolves in town, cracks appearing in Brendon, Ryan and Jon's relationship, and a series of mysterious murders out in the desert, it seems like something is rotten in the state of Nevada. The spate of robberies and violence following My Chemical Romance on their summer festival tour is just another complication for the Scoobies at the Disco, something that doesn't seem nearly as important until two of their number vanish without a trace on the eve of the Vegas tour date.
These eight days are going to be one of the longest weeks of Spencer Smith's life.

How the West Was Won (and Where It Got Us).]

Unicorns Will Never Hurt You by
crowgirl13 Caveat: It should be noted that canon has been tweaked in this story, largely to account for several (large) groups of people whose bands either have not formed yet in this chronology or whose bands are, for the purposes of plot, unlikely to form in their current real world incarnations. A couple of characters have been aged down for similar reasons, and Warped Tour has been replaced by a similar (fictional) event called Trickfest. And if we can just overlook
me having forgotten in the original fic that a 17-year-old would be a senior and not a junior, that'd be awesome. *sheepish* Talk about writing yourself into a corner...
