Fandom: Bandom (My Chemical Romance)
Rating: PG.

Title: That Scary Feeling
Fandom: Bandom (Panic! at the Disco)
Rating: NC-17.
Length: ~1100 words.
Characters/Pairings: Brendon, with Ryan and Spencer.
Disclaimer: I'm going to go with "me playing with fictional dolls in my head" again. (My Barbie adventures as a kid were possibly more out-there, believe it or not.)

Content notes: (skip) Contains a character mulling (non-graphically) what might happen if he had to get his arm amputated. Also, Brendon doesn't do any research on circulation, so this probably isn't something you should try without reading up on it first.

Summary: Still, getting off on his arm falling asleep? At least anal was something people talked about.

Notes: Written for the wildcard space on my kink_bingo card. (I went with the "bodies/body parts" kink.) It's based on a tweet (screencap) from Brendon that reads: "I may be the only sick bastard that loves that scary feeling when you wake up and can't feel your arm because you slept on it all night." This was where my brain went.

Title: The High Place
Fandom: Bandom: Panic! at the Disco (with background MCR, FOB, and Cobra Starship)
Rating: R
Length: 12,150 words.
Characters/Pairings: Brendon/Spencer (with background Frank/Mikey and Ray/Gerard)

Content notes (skip) Past rape/abuse briefly discussed (not between any romantic pairing), violence, drug use similar to pot (with liberties taken)

Summary: Even after the battle that destroyed the local branch of Manticore, Seattle was much kinder to Brendon than the secret military organization that created him and his friends. Could his newfound freedom lead to something as awesome as love? (Dark Angel AU)

Author's notes: Also on AO3 and LJ.

For bandombigbang 2012, Wave Three. This story mostly stands alone, but if you're not familiar with Dark Angel, it will definitely help to read Crash first. I also played fast and loose with the accuracy of the drug use in this story, but this is about cat people in the future and is based on people who play in bands, so I hope the whole thing is taken as what it is: fiction.

Thanks to andeincascade for the absolutely stellar beta job (and putting up with my anxious emails), rahnekat for the Dark Angel DVD loan, my younger sister for gifting me her DVD set, and my mom for listening to my brainstorming and laughing at the title when I told her about it. (I come by it honestly.)

Rating: PG-13.
Length: ~2900 words.
Characters/Pairings: Patrick/Spencer.

Title: Hand Covers Bruise
Fandom: Bandom (Panic! at the Disco)
Rating: NC-17.
Length: About 3160 words.
Characters/Pairings: Ryan/Spencer.
Disclaimer: Fictional, don't cross the streams, etc.

Summary: Spencer doesn't like hockey. The way hockey bruises Ryan's skin, on the other hand...

Notes: Written for this prompt on bandom_meme. Ryan and Spencer's ages aren't specified in the story, but while they're in high school, I pictured Ryan as a senior and Spencer as a junior, so above the age of consent in Nevada.

Title: shadows and sunlight
Fandom: Bandom (MCR and Midtown)
Rating: R.

Fandom: Bandom (MCR) and actor RPF
Rating: PG.
Length: ~2270 words.
Characters/Pairings: Mikey Way/Ian McKellen, Gerard/Lindsey, Mikey/Alicia, Ian McKellen/Patrick Stewart.
Disclaimer: Unless my stories ideas are magical psychic visions? Really not real.

Summary: Gerard was a dork, but he'd like to see most people watch Ian McKellen walk out of a bright and steamy bathroom and not get a tear in their eye.

Notes: This takes place after Mikey and Gerard's conversation in A piece of chicken, but you can read this first if you're familiar with the fact that Ian McKellen checked out Mikey at a party once. (I love my life sometimes.)

Notes: This was posted for the Fandom Snowflake Challenge (day nine), partially written off the coast of Mexico, and dedicated to turlough. It's part of the Ghost and Dust 'verse, and it's spoilery for the first story, Giving Up the Ghost. Go read that first.
