You Said You Needed Some Space (Yeah. Right. Space.)
Jon/Spencer * PG-13 * 2,122 words

Don't own them, never met them, never happened, etc.
Spencer attempts to survive the week after the announcement.
Too soon? Perhaps. If you don't want to read it, don't read it. I used this to cope and it helped. Big thanks to foxxcub for the beta, and this one's for her and the rest of the Jon/Spencer crowd. Now we have more to work with, not less. Title from "Shadow" by Dominic Monaghan.

( Shane pulls him aside later and asks, “Too soon?”  )

BBB REC: Beyond the Sea by ditchwitchbitch (I hope I got that right).

For those of you who are so inclined, it's Pete/Patrick (and very well done), but more importantly (for me), she writes a PHENOMENAL Joe.

Other pairings are: Pete/Joe, Ryland/Alex, Jon/Spencer, Ryan/Brendon, Patrick/Brendon, Joe/Greta, ficjournal/thisfic and just a hint of Andy/Mixon. Oh and Gabe/VickyT. I think.

Go read. They're in Ireland. They're marine biologists. GO READ.

OH! And in case anybody is interested... I have a few fics in the hopper that just need to be beta'd and posted (including my erstwhile BBB submission). Yes, I'm as surprised as you are.

While I search for a muse that doesn't come with a heavy sadface (my latest fic is "15,000 words of Joe being depressed"), rec me something good to read. Preferably involving Joe, Jon or Spencer, or some combination of the three. Hope all are well. Miss writing for you.

11 Reasons Why Patrick and Pete Moved In Together
Pete/Patrick (Joe/Suarez)
PG-13 for language
I disclaim
Pete attempts to convince Patrick to move in together.
So a while ago, adellyna wanted to see the conditions under which Patrick and Pete actually move in together within the context of the My Has Has Three Corners 'verse. Naturally, I obliged. So, written for adellyna, and then pushed through quickly to post on her birthday, here she is. Happy birthday, dahling! Huge thanks to likealocket for the beta-job even as she was moving and having massive internet issues. You're the GREATEST my friend.

( It's embarrassing, really. )

Title: The Simple Voice of Nature and Reason Will Say, 'Tis Right
Pairing: Jon/Spencer, Pete/Patrick, Brendon/Ryan, Joe/Bob (Bryar), Frank/Gerard
Bands: Mostly FOB & PATD, with some MCR, TBS and The Used thrown in for some fun
Disclaimer: Though this is based on fact, I still disclaim
Warnings: It's a war fic, folks. There's at least one character death in here. It's also vaguely stylized, pulled hopefully with a modicum of accuracy from letters and journals written during this time period.
Summary: The Revolutionary War - bandom style.

A/N: 15,508 words. This is a labor of love. And I emphasize LABOR. Huge huge huge thanks to likealocket nad adellyna for the beta and handholding, plus all of my other friends who had to listen to the months of me whining about this. Also a shout to eleanor_lavish who alerted me to this challenge in the first place. I love this story, and want to rock it to sleep and sing it lullabies and let it spit up on my shoulder, but I know it won't work for everybody. I just hope it works for you.

Title taken from Common Sense by Thomas Paine.

Completed for the periodbandom challenge. A little late, but better late than never.

( Brendon thinks that there’s no God watching over them; but he doesn’t say this. He just smiles at Pete by the light of the window and opens the pamphlet. )

Part 2 / Continued from here

( Continued... )

I'll be posting something fairly soon - yea! But first, a meme:

1) make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (that way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)

2) ask your flist to post questions in the comments.

for example: 'one, nine and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. do they succeed?'
'under what circumstances might five and seven fall in love?'
'which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'
'write a drabble in which three and five fight crime.' (...possibly not technically a question.)

3) after your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

Thanks for being my favorite muse, and so much fun to write about. ♥, me.

The Space Made Empty
Spencer/Seth * R * 3,123 words

I disclaim!
Ryan Atwood’s first day at Harbor School is Spencer’s first day there without Ryan Ross at his side.
Written for likealocket who really wanted to see Spencer Smith and Seth Cohen go head to head. So to speak. She is away from the internet for a while, so I post. This is just how I roll. Thank you to adellyna who made sure I stayed in the present and confused me with commas. If you haven't seen The OC, that's okay. A few references might fly over your head, but take my word for it: They are really funny. Cut most definitely from Phantom Planet's "California"!

( California, here we come )

Since I'm having a hard time getting inspired to work on any of my WsIP, I'm doing this meme instead:

Ask me a question about one of my stories. It can be absolutely anything in any story. Whatever you ask, I will attempt to answer truthfully.

You may ask about fic I've written, fic I've promised to write, WIPs, anything you'd like.

I feel like I should put up some previews for pieces that I'm working on, but oh well. Have at!

Parenthetically Speaking (Overheard in New York)
Brendon/Spencer * PG-13 * 714 words

I disclaim.
In celebration of the birth of one of my most favorite people in this entire world. ENTIRE WORLD. eleanor_lavish, this one is for you baby. I love you so hard, it's ridiculous. Based off of your commentary of this:

White trash girl, looking out of bus window: Look at Ed*. He looks like a fucking lumberjack. He needs a shave.
White trash guy: That Ed* -he's a fucking crackhead.
White trash girl: I thought he smoked pot?
White trash guy: Crack, pot -what's the difference?
Hipster guy sitting behind them: Excuse me, I'm Ed*'s best friend. He's definitely a pothead. He never does crack. But he does look like a lumberjack.

About which you said this:
Seriously, in my head, Ed is Spencer, and the Hipster boy is Brendon. It is funny!

Thanks to likealocket for the beta. MUAH.

( Brendon doesn’t bother going to his room; what’s the point, when Spencer’s is so much more fun? )

For a meme...

One (long) sentence featuring Greta (Salpeter) in the shower (thinking about Spencer).

One might say this is for clumsygyrl. It's definitely unbetaed and defilement of the English language if I have ever typed it.

The One With No Plot
Jon/Spencer * NC-17 * 1,371 words

I disclaim.
So I was totally bored today and decided to fix up a little ditty I had some help with and... here it is. It's complete and total porn with absolutely no redeeming quality to it except, I hope, that it's good. Thank you to adellyna for looking this one over. Any remaining mistakes are my fault, not my wifey's.

( And then they fucked! )

If It Ain't Baroque, Don't Fix It
Patrick/William * PG * 642 words

I disclaim.
He doesn’t know why, but Patrick thought William was kidding when he first asked him to produce the next TAI album.
Just a little something for adellyna. Not beta'd.

( Patrick shuts his eyes, counts to three, and stops bouncing. )
