Rating: NC-17.
Length: About 4700 words.
Characters/Pairings: Ray/Ian/Spencer.

Summary: Ian discovers Ray's Music purely by accident. Spencer discovers it on purpose.

Rating: R
Length: 12,150 words.

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.)

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.

Fandom: Bandom: Panic! at the Disco, with Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is... (and more!)
Rating: NC-17
Length: 23k.

Summary: Brendon wanted to be a rock star just like Pete Wentz. Spencer wanted to help Ryan out of his self-destructive cycle. Instead, they both end up undead and in the middle of an extremely dangerous clique war. Can they save their city from being torn apart by vampires and look dapper while they do it? (A Little Less Sixteen Candles AU.)
