and the music's all you've got - Bandom (Panic!/MCR), PG, gen.

[gorgeousnerd]

Title: and the music's all you've got
Fandom: Bandom (Panic! at the Disco and My Chemical Romance)
Rating: PG.
Length: About 2200 words.
Characters/Pairings: Jon, Ray, Cassie, and Christa.

Summary: Jon's music career dried up, so he had to take the job teching for U2. What's Ray's excuse?

Notes: I have no idea where this story came from, but it wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote. And then I wrote it, and it didn't match my Jon headcanon at all, so I tucked it away...and it still wouldn't leave me alone. Maybe my brain knows something I don't.

There are non-explicit references to past/present addiction in both Panic! and MCR. I tagged alcoholism because that's the most prevalent in the story, but there's also some discussion of marijuana.

Also on AO3.
