Title: forever's gonna start tonight
Fandom: One Direction
Rating: NC-17
Length: About 8k.
Characters/Pairings: OT5 (Liam/Louis/Harry/Zayn/Niall).

Content notes: ( Contains spoilers. )

Summary: It's a vampire release form, "removing liability from all parent companies" should Liam get all his blood sucked out. Or: Liam's a human who just wants to take care of his vampires, X Factor era.

Author's notes: Written for the bloodplay square on my kink_bingo card. While this is an AU, and I've purposely played with events and characters because I could, I did consult this X Factor timeline and watch a bunch of clips from the show on YouTube. (Although I didn't actually see Total Eclipse of the Heart until I had the story half-written. I didn't even know they did a Halloween performance on the show in advance, much less to that theme!)

I checked the underage tag because, well, X Factor era. A more extended look at content can be found in the end notes.

Title: Petezza
Fandom: Bandom (Fall Out Boy)
Rating: R.
Length: ~1170 words.
Characters/Pairings: Pete/Patrick.

Summary: A pizza night in isn't exactly wine by the beach, but Pete's just fine, thanks.

Notes: Written for the "food" square on my kink_bingo card. This story was inspired by a couple things:

1. Seeing Fall Out Boy (for the first time!) in San Francisco. When doing the acoustic set, Pete told Patrick something along the lines of, "When you said we were getting intimate on the beach, I didn't know this is what you meant." (The show was on a pier.) He referenced bringing wine and said "speaking of blue balls" to transition to Grand Theft Autumn (and Patrick complimented him on it).

2. The band voting Patrick the funniest drunk. Probably didn't use it to full advantage here, but there you go.

There's also the fact that Pete constantly tweets about how much he loves pizza. This link wasn't specifically inspiration because he posted after I wrote the story, but Pete actually got pizza in Atlanta. First rule of bandom in play again.

(So yes, if you haven't seen the AO3 tags, this story's about food and getting off on eating/feeding and purposely getting a little drunk. /long notes)

Title: Givin' You What You Love
Fandom: Bandom (Fall Out Boy)
Rating: NC-17.
Length: 1475 words.
Characters/Pairings: Pete/Patrick.

Summary: Pete probably shouldn't be sneaking around with the hot, snarky contestant. But it's kind of worth it. (Best Ink AU.)

Notes: From ladyfoxxx: "Still want an AU where Patrick is a contestant on Best Ink & has an illicit affair with the hot host." Turns out I wanted it, too. Who knew? If you haven't seen Best Ink, the Joe I'm referring to in the story is Capobianco, not Trohman.

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.

Title: Powderpuff
Fandom: Bandom (My Chemical Romance)
Rating: NC-17.
Length: About 2200 words.
Characters/Pairings: Frank/Gerard.

Summary: It isn't like Frank's opposed to powderpuff football. The timing's just kind of bad.

Notes: Written for the gender play square on my kink_bingo card. Frank and Gerard are seniors, so I didn't warn for underage in the tags on AO3, but they are still in high school.

Also on AO3.

Title: Well, I Changed For Good
Fandom: Bandom (My Chemical Romance)
Rating: NC-17
Length: ~33k.
Characters/Pairings: Frank/Gerard.

Content notes: ( Includes spoilers. )

Summary:

2003: Frank's a werewolf that changes when it's too cold outside, and Gerard isn't. But considering Frank saved Gerard when he got partially eaten by starving werewolves, Gerard should be. Gerard, for his part, is too busy getting sober after the loss of his band to remember that the attack actually happened.

2012: They reunite in Southern California while both are struggling to cope. They've both lived lives full of disasters apart; how much of a disaster can it be if they spend some time together before Frank leaves the country?

It's only when a cold snap hits LA that everyone finds out what disaster really is.

Author's notes: Also on AO3.

This story was written for Wave One of bandombigbang 2013, and it's an AU of Maggie Stiefvater's novel Shiver. (Appropriately, the title of this story is based on a lyric from Coldplay's song Shiver.) I took liberties with the Shiver story/canon, and even though I intended this to be a fork-in-the-road AU (with werewolves), I also played with the factual MCR canon that made it into the story. That means it's as made up as all of my bandom fics! Fiction, yay!

I also consider this to be the third part in an informal Frank/Gerard werewolf trilogy. They don't share universes or anything; I've just written a Frank/Gerard werewolf story every year I've been writing bandom fic. The first, A Lesser Disaster, was actually my first bandom story ever posted. The second, Strays, was written for Werewolf Big Bang 2012. I got this idea, and I figured it was time to bring the werewolves to the main fandom stage, as it were. (I think this is going to be the last part, but then, I never really intended to write the other two. Maybe I'll try writing Ray/Mikey werewolves instead.)

All the thanks in the world to tuesdaysgone for the beta (all remaining errors are mine, believe me), to my younger sister for insisting I read Shiver at the beginning of the year, to the wonderful BBB mods for juggling everything, and to everyone in my sphere for putting up with me giving support and encouragement during yet another Big Bang cycle. See you all again for Wave Three!
