Jon/Spencer
*new*
Mothertruckin' Flapjacks
by adellyna--They behind the scenes story of what's happening in
these clips. PG
Which just starts it all, doesn’t it? Jon jumps in again--nobody bothers
scripting Jon, he’ll never stick to it--and runs with it, “Question number two
is: Why are you spending it with us?” And then, of course, Ryan is trapped
between Jon and Spencer; Jon’s face is turned from the camera and he gives
Spencer this look and Ryan feels more than sees Spencer’s answering one. Fuck.
He really should have sat next to Brendon.
*new*
Pretty Much A Sex God
by adellyna--Prequel to
Ryan Ross: Wedding Planner (What We Do Is Love) It's the story of Jon and
Spencer meeting and going on their first date. This universe is the best thing
ever, really. PG-13
Jon smirks, and even though he looks like he hasn’t seen the business end of
a razor or the inside of a barber shop recently, it’s kind of an extremely
charming look on him. Spencer, for one, is charmed, and that‘s no mean feat. “Is
that a fake name?” Jon asks.
*new*
Stray Crumbs
by airgiodslv--College AU where Ryan drags Spencer to a coffee shop every week,
where he meets Jon, one of the baristas. PG
“It’s a hard decision, I know,” the guy behind the counter – Jon, his nametag
says, with a little pink heart-squiggle in place of the ‘o’ – says seriously.
“So many delicious selections to choose from.”
*new*
The One In
Which Jon Is A Matchmaker by softlyforgotten--Jon the barista has a
matchmaking mojo, even when he doesn't mean to. Except, of course, when it comes
to his own life. Contains also Gabe/William, Pete/Patrick, Brendon/Ryan, and
others. PG-13
The first time really was ridiculously easy. It had been impossible not to
notice the guy when he first leaned against the counter and demanded the only
drink on the menu that nobody ever seemed to order, made a weird clawing symbol
with his fingers when he took it, and then stopped by after he’d finished on his
way out to say “dude, that was awesome, I kind of want to lock you up and force
you to make me it all the time.”
*new*
standing on the edge
by kissingchaos9--Jon's been a little bit obsessed with Spencer since the first
time they met (weren't we all?). I like Spencer in this. He's clever and
observant. Warning for no capitalization. I don't mind it, but I know that some
people might. R
"dude, all you do is talk about spencer, and talk to spencer, so. when she
asks what's up with you, the answer is pretty much 'spencer.' so, now she wants
to know what's up with that." tom is propped up on his elbow, leaning on his
hand, and the way his hair falls into his eyes reminds jon of when spencer sits
next to him on the couch and puts his head on jon's shoulder.
*new*
call it even by
madsciencechick--Jon and Spencer make up after a fight. PG-13
It takes him almost a week to even pick up the phone, and when he does, his
thumb pauses over the "S", uncertain, hesitant. He hits the "R" instead, pulls
Ryan up from the drop down, types in: So hows vegas? then stops. He wants to add
something else, types four sentences and deletes each one. He ends up sending
the message as-is.
*new*
shoulders, toes &
knees (i'm 36 degrees) by ficklish--Jon is fascinated by Spencer, in a way
that feels very relate-able. It feels like falling in love with someone, where
everything they do is special and engrossing because it's them. I don't
have to be a photographer like Jon to understand that. R
Spence is all smooth, white skin, freckly shoulders and soft belly; his eyes
are always cold and wry, amused and observant, but not quiet. He reminds Jon of
his cat at home, the way he’s sneaking silently to the kitchenette of the
Academy bus to peek into the fridge and cupboards for something edible, for
drinks, because he’s nosy.
*new*
Tell Me The Stars
Are Made Of Tin by adellyna--Dpencer admits his crush on Jon and Jon flies
out to Vegas to see him while they're on their break. Spencer's mom wins in this
story. NC-17
Jon shows up at the airport after a week of emails and one red-eye from
Chicago to Las Vegas. It’s a dim, gloomy hour of the morning, the rising light
is milky and gray. It makes everything seem smooth but kind of forbidding.
*new*
Fuck the Paradox by
adellyna and Paradoxes Are
So Two Years Ago by foxxcub--Time travel! First Jon goes back and meets
seventeen year old Spencer, and then Spencer returns the favor for young Jon.
Very hot, and I love the concept. NC-17
Spencer cocks his hips the same way he does now, in the present, in Jon’s
now, but it’s different without the shoulders and the wide back, different when
Jon doesn’t have to look up to see Spencer smirking at him. Actually, no, he
gets to look down at Spencer. Like, a quarter of an inch, maybe, and only if he
puffs out his chest and lifts his chin, but it totally fucking counts.
*new*
Back to Where You
Are by o4fuxache--Jon goes to stay with Spencer in Vegas, and then, uh,
Spencer turns into a cat. You know, as he's sometimes prone to do. Jon is nicely
oblivious in this. Oh, Jon. r
A cat glares up at him from one of the pillows. “Um,” Jon says. He scratches
his head and looks around. “Who are you?” The cat yawns and continues to glare
at Jon. And in fact, the cat glares so long, Jon begins to wonder if perhaps
this is the cat’s fallback expression.
*new*
The Incident with
The Pete Wentz-Certified Cookie Jar Bet by by foxxcub & imogenedisease--It's
a betting pool story, and it has a special place in my heart because it's the
only story I read the night after the Best Night Of My Life (aka the Chicago
date of the YWT tour). This tells you nothing about the story, so sorry. But,
um, read it? PG-13
"What's this?" he asks Brendon and Ryan, who are sitting at the kitchen table
looking very, very innocent. He pulls out one of the slips and unfolds it.
"There are dates on here."
Brendon stutters for nearly a minute before Ryan says, very calmly, "Taxes."
*new*
Brand New Light (a Chicago fairy tale) by foxxcub--Band members turning into
cats? YESTERDAY'S NEWS. Band member's cats turning into people? Now that is the
Hip New Thing. Dylan becomes a woman and has two weeks to make Jon fall in love
with her. PG-13
She doesn't mind that Jon's always thought of her as a boy, treats her like a
boy. She loves him anyway, fully and completely, and all she's ever wanted is to
become a real girl and make him love her in return.
*new*
subtleties of black
by lordessrenegade--Jon can't refuse Spencer anything. Also, Jon is kind of
blind. PG
Really, he took pictures because Spencer looked unbearably beautiful most of
the time, and he wanted to capture that in a way that was more permanent than
just remembering it.
*new*
never without it
by madsciencechick--This is incredibly schmoopy and really very sweet, and it
made me cry. Even as I was crying, I was thinking, "oh god, what is WRONG with
me?" But there you go. PG-13
Two years later Jon's maybe gotten a little bit better about not wanting to
throw Spencer down on the nearest horizontal surface (maybe) (possibly), or at
least gotten a little less obvious about it (he thinks) (he hopes), but
Spencer's still wearing the bracelet. Jon hasn't ever seen him without it. He
wears it into the shower.
*new*
Jon Walker Is Better than
Aspirin by ficklish--h/c. Spencer is sick and Jon makes him feel better. I'm
kind of a sucker for these kinds of stories. PG
"M sigg," Spence presses out and then draws his nose up. Jon fumbles for
tissues in his pockets and then hands Spence one that seems to have been used
before. Not that he cares right now. He blows his nose, which doesn't seem to
help much.
*new*
starts in my toes by
foxxcub--I love high school aus if I can just shut my eyes and forget that the
characters are like fourteen years old. This one is very sweet, because Spencer
has such an earnest, all-encompassing crush on Jon. PG-13
Spencer has spent all of freshman year learning the things you don't do, and
having a debilitating crush on a junior is one of them. He's been quite diligent
in ignoring the huge, nearly sickening rush he gets when he catches a glimpse of
Jon outside the doors of the darkroom just off the journalism room, and he
certainly never lets himself blush hard enough to be noticeable.
*new*
A Lesson In
Not Loving Jon Walker by thehousekeeper--Spencer is completely not in love
with Jon. Except for how, you know, he totally is. NC-17
"You," said Ryan, slumping into the seat across from Spencer, hair mussed and
the smell of sleep clinging to the creases in his pyjama shirt, "are entirely
fucked."
*new*
A Little Piece of Mind That
I Know Better by foxxcub--Jon can't seem to stop fantasizing about Spencer.
I can relate to this dilemma. Sadly, though, my personal story is unlikely to
end the way that this one does. PG-13
Later he'd crawl into bed and tell himself he was jerking off to the abstract
notion of hot, smooth hands against his skin, with no real person attached to
them.
*new*
Special Delivery For
Hoops McCann by skoosiepants--AU where Jon is a crafty pickpocket with a
heart of gold and Spencer is one of his victims who was only trying to do the
right thing. Plot taken from "One Crazy Summer." PG-13
“Holy shit,” Spencer says, but he lets Jon push him out into the sunshine
where, it seems, even more menacing dudes are waiting for them. Him. Jon. On
bikes.
*new*
Morning Blend
by foxxcub--In my mind, this is a typical morning for Jon and Spencer. NC-17
"You promised me coffee, 'member?" he mumbles into Jon's cheek, kissing Jon's
stubble and licking his way down his jaw.
*new*
Four Strings, Nine
Lives, One Heart: The Jonnie Walker Story, As Told By Master Storyteller William
Beckett by joker_and_thief--It's Jon's turn in the genderswapping
token
female series that is fast becoming a personal favorite. I also love it
because in each story of the series, Spencer Smith (whether man or woman) gets
so much action. Makes me happy. No rating.
Jon wasn't innocent, exactly, she's been around too long for that, spent too
many years rocking out in dirty clubs and playing basements. But she's pretty
well behaved, has this whole 'trust' thing with her parents. William has made it
his life's mission to show her that one can still have fun and do the perfect
angel-child thing.
*new*
Designer by
madsciencechick--Spencer takes Jon on a shopping quest for boy clothes. Jon is
confused. Then there is lots of sex. NC-17
Jon had watched him fail to answer for a few more minutes, then done the only
sensible thing and gone to Spencer's band. Ryan had rolled his eyes. Brendon had
giggled. Brent had just looked confused, then said something about a date, but
Jon can't understand why anyone who agreed to go out on a date with Spencer
would expect him to show up dressed like a boy.
The One Where Spencer Called Jon 'Thick' (But Not Like That) by aphoristick--Jon is very distracted by all the sex that Ryan and Brendon are having. Spencer helps him with that. R "Good morning," Jon says evenly. And how does one bring this up, anyway? There are probably many polite ways to put it, but Jon's on three nights without sleep, and so he just charges forward. "How do you sleep with all the fucking?"
The One Where Jon Steals Spencer's Jeans...Only Not by foxxcub--Aww, this is just adorable. I like embarrassed Jon. PG-13 But then Brendon's already saying, "Dude, Walker's totally wearing Spencer's jeans," and Jon's pretty sure Spencer's noticing.
The Roar of the Grease Paint - The Smell of the Crowd by foxxcub--Jon kisses Spencer three times and finally Spencer kisses him back. PG-13 "Either that, or they think we're a bunch of pussies." Then he grins all evil-like. "I've always wanted to incite a riot." His drenched hair is sticking to the ends of his lashes.
Drive a One Inch Badge Pin Through My Heart by dirtykicks--An interesting AU where Jon goes to see Brendon, Spencer and Ryan's queercore band. PG Jon pushes back through the crowd after a few minutes. He tries not to be too obvious as he scans the room for the drummer from the Summer League. After completing two slow circuits of the club, Jon finally spots him sitting at a table with a thin emo-haired boy he recognises as the band's guitarist. He walks over quickly before he loses his nerve and taps the drummer on the shoulder.
venus as a boy by ficklish--Spencer wakes up a girl, and all the guys deal with it in different ways, Jon by being awesome. R “Okay,” Ryan says slowly, trying not to stare at Spence’s breasts. Spence suddenly feels very guilty for every time he’s ever ogled a girl’s cleavage. “So, you turned into a girl. With girlparts.” He fidgets uncomfortably.
I Am A Camera by iridescentglow--This hits my cheating squick a little, but it's very beautiful too, so I'll let that slide. R "What are these?" Jon asked—not rudely or suspiciously: he blinked at Spencer with what looked l retracting his hand, as if realizing he might have overstepped a boundary.
echolot by ficklish--The bus breaks down and Jon and Spencer bond in the middle of nowhere. PG “Right, and until then I’m melted. You’ll have to scrape me up and put me in a plastic bag.” He wipes his forehead and blows his hair out of his face. “And Ryan ran off, too. I think he’s looking to find a nice farmer’s girl to get old with.” He stops. “Oh god, the heat is making me insane, Jon.”
The Way I See It #186 and The Way I See It #219 by beingothrwrldly--And another Starbucks college AU FTW. Jon is so loveable in these. He goes to order and the guy at the pickup counter finishes the drink he's working on as Ryan starts ordering. He walks over, grinning at Spencer. "Hey," he says, and Spencer feels like he might fall over. "Grande regular, right? Room for cream?"
a mess of youthful innocence by beingothrwrldly--Based on Jon's new haircut, which I saw in person when he played bass for "Saturday" during the last day of Fall Out Boy's Chicago dates. I'm pretty sure she was there too, and that the title is a reference to that song. Spencer glances up at Ryan as he takes his own guitar off, but Ryan's staring past him at Jon, his eyes wide. Spencer's about to say something when Brendon rushes into the room, breathless. "This wasn't my fault, okay?" he says, and Spencer looks at him for a second before turning to Jon, who's grinning at him expectantly, biting his bottom lip.
Brendon/Ryan, Jon/Spencer
*new*
Ryan Ross: Wedding Planner
(What We Do Is Love) by adellyna--Wedding planner AU that you've probably
already read, but if you haven't, what the hell? Adorable. Ryan and his
assistant, Brendon, plan Jon and Spencer's wedding. I love how Ryan doesn't seem
to realize how crazy he is about Brendon until it sneaks up on him. But hello,
framed picture of Brendon in his living room? There's also a prequel
describing how Jon and Spencer got together, which you can find by scrolling
down to the Jon/Spencer section. R-ish
Brendon just opens the folder to the photo of the couple and taps his
forefinger above their smiling faces. And, ok, they’re both exceptionally
attractive and, when he looks close, the prettier one appears to be wearing
girl’s jeans. Ryan can maybe, maybe work with this. “I can maybe work with
this,” he admits grudgingly. “But I’m not committing. They have to come in for a
prospective client interview. And if that goes well, I have to go to their
house, and if I spot a single piece of rainbow paraphernalia, I am getting a
restraining order.”
*new*
just a little longer,
long enough by deliberatefic--Wow, Ryan and Brendon are not the nicest
people in this story, and Spencer's pretty messed up too, but Jon's still
awesome, and by the end, his awesome rubs off on Spencer, just a little.
Contains also Spencer/Ryan and Ryan/Jon. NC-17
Painfully, annoyingly, Spencer woke up to Ryan slipping out of his grasp at
the same time he woke up to wanting Ryan, to watching his exposed hips, the
twist of his wrist as he applied his eyeliner. It was stupid, maddening, and
before he could get his feet under him, could do something about it, Brendon and
Ryan were fucking.
*new*
read me like no one else
(we'll make them so jealous) by foxxcub--This is a His Dark Materials
crossover. There's a short primer for those not familiar with the canon (like
me). I like the way that the daemons were worked into the characters' lives very
realistically, down to their actions on stage while the guys performed. R
A few weeks later, they rehearse for the first time with Jon. Spencer makes
it through three songs, staring straight ahead, but then he glances over and
sees Rosa, Jon's Irish Setter daemon, panting happily beside Jon, her tail
waving in time with the chorus of "But It's Better If You Do". She catches
Spencer's gaze and smiles brightly at him, her tongue soft and pink.
*new*
Walk In The Sun by
darksylvia--Girls Just Wanna Have Fun AU where Brendon and Ryan get partnered up
to be in a dance competition. My favorite part in this might be Jon as Ryan's
younger brother, and his huge crush on Spencer. R
A new couple jumped to the front and Ryan felt his perception sharpen as one
of them--the Catholic school boy from earlier--performed a back flip and landed
grinning, hands out to spin his partner right before they performed some strange
swing move. Ryan wouldn't have guessed he was so good, but then, people usually
underestimated Ryan, too.
Like A Magic 8 Ball, But You Can Only Ask One Question by untappedbeauty--Jon has a somewhat...unconventional superpower that he uses for evil instead of good. PG-13 And see, Brendon could do something simple to find out the truth. All he has to do is walk right up to Ryan, put his hands on Ryan's shoulders and say, "You're not straight, are you?" And Ryan will say no, and Brendon will know Jon's gaydar power is broken, and he and Ryan can FINALLY make out, and it'll all be okay.
did you think that you were dreaming? by softlyforgotten--In this one, it's the other three that have the superpowers and Jon who's observing them all. I like the way the fic shows him as an outsider that slowly begins to feel like he belongs. Also, the last line is gold. R He sees Spencer watching him cautiously in the moments before the song, and smiles at him, as though it is a gift, as though it is a promise. Spencer only watches him, eyes narrowed as though he’s searching for something, and then he smiles back, seconds too late, and looks away.
let the good times roll by softlyforgotten--One of numerous stalking-someone-at-Starbucks college AUs. I like Brendon's voice and the way that he views Ryan, which I think is a lot like I did, at first. PG This is ridiculous. Brendon can’t even have coffee. He looks like a complete loser ordering a hot chocolate at fucking Starbucks as Brent likes to tell him (again and again. and again. and again), but it’s not like he has any choice. He’s not going to stalk the poor kid to find out where else he hangs out. And okay, so he knows the guy comes into Starbucks every day at three thirty, but that’s not stalking, that’s observing.
Ryan/Brendon
*new*
But Sweeter by Dira
Sudis--Brendon's missing home and his (creeeepy, you'll see) home cooked meals,
and Ryan tries to help. Nothing says love like picking all of the marshmallows
out of a box of Lucky Charms, seriously.
He waved his spoon, and Ryan stared at it, mesmerized. Brendon was staring at
his fruit-dick and talking about his mom, and honestly, why did people ever,
ever think Ryan was the weird one?
*new*
[you'll be platinum] by
jae-w--A sex tape of Brendon gets released on the Internet and Ryan is *really*
not happy. NC-17
"I am serious," Spencer said. "I'm forwarding it to people I don't know, too.
I'm sending it to everybody who's ever sent me an email, including spammers."
*new*
Claim the Sky
by beingothrwrldly--This is an epic story that starts when Brendon first joins
the band and spans all the way until the present. PG-13-ish
There are several days in Brendon's life that, he's decided, have changed him
forever.
First is the day his grandmother sat him at the piano. "Play this with me,
angel," she'd said in a hushed voice, and she'd taught him how to play
Chopsticks. He'd plunked the keys methodically at first; later, when the rest of
the family sat down to dinner, he taught himself a few more notes, harmonizing
with a quiet hum he could drown out with the keys.
*new*
after i have dreamed
by ficklish--Ryan's a bit obtuse, and he doesn't take Brendon seriously when he
should. He also doesn't realize what's right in front of him until it's almost
too late. Contains also Pete/Ryan. NC-17
“Ryan Ross!” Brendon declares when he steps off the bus in front of their
hotel, glasses askew, turning to face Ryan. “I love you!”
*new*
you & your
hand by longtime_lurker--Brendon walks in on Ryan masturbating, and pretty
much his whole life starts revolving around that new visual. NC-17
He makes a tiny squeaking noise and backs right the fuck out of that hotel
room, because Ryan's - oh god, he can't even say it in his mind, what Ryan's
doing - and thinking about Ryan that way, thinking about Ryan doing that, makes
him feel funny from his ears right down to his toes.
*new*
Give me more by
wearemany--This is Brendon when the band first formed, becoming his own person
and breaking away from his parents' lifestyle. I really liked this story a lot.
I like th way that Brendon views Ryan - as mysterious and mature and scary and
way out of his league. NC-17
He tries not to think too much about that part. It's still Ryan's band, Ryan
and Spencer's really, Ryan's lyrics and Spencer's pulse and the two of them will
be in bands together the rest of their lives no matter who else comes and goes.
He and Brent talk about it once in the car, about being replaceable, but even
Brent's known them since they first started playing.
*new*
Something Unexpected
by pandoraiam--I didn't think that this would work for me, but it did. Ryan
needs something that not many people can give him. The author makes the dynamic
between Ryan and Brendon work for me, makes it seem real and believable.
Contains also Ryan/Pete/Patrick. NC-17
Patrick took one look at him and said, "Oh," like he knew everything about
Ryan and Ryan opened his mouth to ask, to scream, 'Oh, what? What the fuck is
wrong with me?' but Patrick's eyes hardened and he said, "Go sit on the bed."
*new*
"penises are for boys,
vaginas are for girls, unless of course, something crazy happens. then
anything's game." by awakeunafraid--Ryan wakes up a girl, and Brendon's kind
of conflicted. A lot more serious than your usual genderswap. NC-17
“I’m not going to freak out again,” he said, reaching one hand up and pushing
his hair out of his face. “And I can hear every word you’re saying. Stop
referring to me as a she, because this is not permanent. This had better not be
permanent.”
*new*
and i will
know you by the shape of your absence by softlyforgotten--College AU. I like
Ryan's mind, and how it's a very strange and interesting place to live. He wants
to know about the boy with the guitar. Also features Jon/Spencer and
Frank/Gerard. NC-17
The guitar stumbled to a halt and Ryan heard the voice carry clearly out to
him – “Fuck, my fingers are too fucking—” A mumble, a laugh, and then a face
appeared very briefly at the window, and the laughter came again. “That’s why
it’s so fucking cold,” the voice said, and the window slammed down.
*new*
Sweet Dreams by
airgiodslv--Sleepy hotel room sex. So great. NC-17
Tonight is a hotel night, blessedly, but while the soft pillows and fresh
sheets are calling to him like a dreamy sonata, hotel night also means
sex-with-Ryan night, and Brendon is not passing that up. Not even for an extra
hour of sleep before their radio interview in the morning. They can make it fast
and still good, he’s sure of it. He can be out like a light with six hours still
to go before the wake-up call.
*new*
Just One Of The Girls
by skoosiepants--"Just One of the Guys" AU where Ryan pretends to be a girl in
order to join the newspaper. Brendon is great here, and so are Vicky-T and
Ashlee and Bob. A fun cast of characters all around. PG-13
“Okay, right, you’re a genius,” Spencer said, still sort of laughing, with
that mischievous gleam he always got in his eyes when he couldn’t wait for
someone to make an ass out of himself. Ryan was only occasionally in that role.
“Let’s go raid my sister’s closet.”
*new*
Here Be Dragons
by Melissa (theaerosolkid)--Another time travel fic. I hope that, should time
travel ever become possible, people use it as wisely as the members of Panic! do
in fic. I like the "wibbly wobbly timey wimey"-ness (to quote Doctor Who) of
this story. NC-17
Logically, Ryan should have been much better at the whole sex thing than
Brendon was. Because Brendon was kind of a goof, and a bit of a moron at times,
and also Mormon. He wasn't even allowed to date girls in high school.
*new*
A Song About Drowning
by airgiodslv--Ryan and Brendon in a raft sailing off on an adventure (or just,
you know, going from one end of a pond to the other). I love how Ryan's
pretending to be all angry but Brendon doesn't believe him for a second. PG
“We could have just gone swimming,” Ryan opines from his place of safety.
There’s water sloshing over the side every time Brendon shifts too abruptly, and
the front of his shirt is starting to soak through. Bits of lake debris float
through the puddle towards him and he’s forced to sit up cautiously just to
avoid possible algae and invisible fish slime coming into contact with his face.
*new*
Switch! by adellyna--Spencer
drags Ryan to speed dating. Also features Gabe/Spencer and Pete/Patrick. PG
Yeah, but. "It's a community center, Spencer. These people will be ugly. And
unfashionable. They probably don't even know who Louis Vuitton is."
*new*
Snake Bite by
KB--Brendon goes exploring in the woods outside the cabin. No rating.
He sets out alone. He's of hardy pioneer stock, he thinks. His is a manifest
destiny, pushing borders and boundaries ever further. He was very good at Oregon
Trail II.
*new*
The
Things Teenage Boys Will Do For Money by a_sinister_game--Pete Wentz
desperately wants to complete his porn collection with a Ryan/Brendon sex tape.
PG-13
“Come on,” Pete insists. “Spence, I’m not asking you to stand there with a
camcorder or anything. Just set up a camera, or talk Brendon into doing it—”
*new*
roll off your
tongue (like a whisper in the winter) by longtime_lurker--A PWP, plain and
simple. Starts with sex, ends with sex and then, for variety, there's sex in
between. NC-17
Brendon tackles him, tumbling them into the suite, and it's nice, it's
reassuring. It takes some of the tension off. They might do this any day,
Brendon thinks. Any old day on which Ryan hadn't caught Brendon's wrist as the
four of them came bounding out of the venue into the crisp December city air.
Hadn't looked at Brendon with stage-flushed cheeks and snowflakes in his
eyelashes, hadn't chewed on his lip and taken a step and kissed Brendon on the
mouth right there in the parking lot as the snow fell around them.
*new*
Nobody Nose by
matchsticks_p--Brendon uses his unlikely knowledge of how noses work for
personal gain. Yes, it'll make sense when you read it. Yes, Ryan is a contrary
little jerk in this one. R
Still cradling his nose, Brendon said, “Nose injuries can be complicated!
They could have serious side effects: you could have just fucked with my motor
functions or given me life-threatening sleeping problems. I think you need to
apologise to me.”
*new*
Big Girls Don't
Cry by Impertinence--Third in the "fairy princess" series. The other two
were previously recced here and are linked in the header for this story. You
don't need to read them to understand this one. This time Ryan's a princess and
Brendon's a court jester. Adult
This didn't actually entail being a real fairy. "Fairy princess" was a term
that basically meant "princess who has various fairies whipped". Most princesses
accomplished this via ethereal beauty; Ryan accomplished it via Spencer Smith.
*new*
another good word for
'fellatio' by foxxcub--Brendon gives really, really great head, which just
pisses Ryan off. NC-17
But he attempts to not go on about it when Brendon goes down on him, tries
not to make too much noise, because it's not--it's not that great, really it's
not, even when he does that thing with his tongue and his lips together and
ohfuck--
*new*
Finders Keepers (It's The
Law) by farlessgold--This is a tiny ficlet about Brendon stealing Ryan's
diary. It's so middle school. I love it. PG
"Give it," Ryan demands. Brendon is constantly amazed by the way Ryan can
manage to sound both bored and very, very threatening at the same time. From
experience, Brendon knows the monotone can, in fact, persist up until the very
moment of a beat down.
*new*
Stay a Long Time by
dsudis--The slow evolution of Brendon and Ryan's relationship, and overcoming
fears. non-explicit.
Brendon loved Ryan, and Ryan loved Brendon back. Brendon spent months
thinking about it, wondering and planning and agonizing, but in the end it was
simple. One night when they were in a hotel, Brendon paused in the bathroom
doorway--heading in to take his shower, as Ryan was heading out--and pressed his
mouth to Ryan's.
Better Than Your Worst Day by Nicola--This is more of a friendship fic, but I still love it. Brendon keeps Ryan company over Christmas. PG-13 "Hey, Ryan!" a voice yelled. "Let me in!" Knock, knock. "I'm gonna drop this stuff. If you end up with coleslaw all over your step, it's not my fault!"
Present Progressive by lilywhitelilith--Brendon gets Ryan a journal, and shows a somewhat different side of himself. NC-17 Sometimes, instead, he's just nervous about what he's written. A lot of it doesn't really make that much sense – there's a lot about his working relationship with Brendon, at turns frustrated and elated.
Reacharound by Sara--Background Pete/Ryan--Brendon is offended by Pete's behavior towards Ryan on Ryan's behalf (and, oh yeah, is also totally jealous). NC-17 Ryan was already in the backseat, waiting, reading a book. Ryan was so smart. Ryan was pretty and smart and he deserved better than Pete. He deserved someone nice. Someone who would give him blowjobs.
Still So Young by jzbell--While they're working on their album, Brendon freaks out and copes in his own way. Ryan finds him. PG-13 "What, you couldn't play video games like normal?" He couldn't quite see Brendon inside the castle of sofa cushions and pillows, and he ducked his head farther, squinting into the shadows.
Unfair by kueble--Ryan has a fascination with Brendon's lips, and really, don't we all? PG-13 “I might love him,” Ryan admitted, almost surprising himself with the words. He shot a terrified look at Spencer, not sure how he could take back what he’d just said. People didn’t just say things like that about their friends. He was stuck in the middle of some after-school special and didn’t even know it.
Ryan of Green Gables by skoosiepants--Also features Jon/Spencer and Frank/Gerard. I don't know the story of Anne of Green Gables, but this story was just darling, and I'll be honest and admit that I might have cried a little. Ryan's kind of blind, but I forgave him by the end. Ryan has been living with the Way brothers for about two weeks when he meets Spencer at a garden party. He’s better dressed than Ryan and sort of looks snobby until he smiles. He smiles and his whole face is beautiful and Ryan immediately knows they’re kindred spirits and meant to be best friends until the end of time.
Sense of Touch by bluestargirl6--Ryan and Brendon turn into sea otters, and that's, err...not a metaphor. Inspired by that completely adorable youtube video of the two otters holding hands. It's linked in the header, and if you haven't seen that, you must. PG How it happens is, the morning after visiting the otters, Spencer goes to get Ryan and Brendon from their hotel room and two sleek otters slip out instead. Before Spencer has much of a chance to do anything at all, a hotel maid is screaming "Dios mio!" and security is swarming.
For Other Meanings Of Tsunami by jocondite--The story's from Brendon's perspective, but it's Ryan that I love here. Bitchy, hot, smitten Ryan that keeps giving Brendon second and third and fourth chances to get his head out of his ass, even if Brendon doesn't understand what's happening. NC-17 But it had been a joke! It was just, you know, just what he did. Spencer could just sit there and stare at you, if he wasn’t in the mood to play, and Jon would just grin easily and sometimes pat him on the head; but Ryan would go red and duck his head, and maybe shove him, or get all pissy and definitely shove him, and either way, there was always something, it was always fun.
Girl Power by laniew1--The one where Ryan was always a girl, and Brendon's kind of ridiculously in love with her. PG-13 She’s studying him, he can’t tell if she finds what she’s apparently looking for but she must. Her mouth quirks slightly, her eyes dart over to Spencer’s and then her face takes on a bored expression and her attention goes back to the book in her lap.
Take Center Stage And Step Up to Save The Last Dance (He Was A Sk8er Boi) by Charli J--You should read it for that title alone. It's a high school AU where Ryan's a skater and Brendon's a dancer. As the next set of dancers take the stage, Ryan notices that rude guy and a couple of the other dancers walk up the aisle, right past Ryan, and out of the door. Ryan grabs his stuff and goes into the lobby where the dancers are getting water bottles, occasionally picking at the fruit platters laid out on a table.
Spin Cycle by ficklish--Ryan does the laundry and Brendon's clothes mysteriously go missing. NC-17 Ryan quirks a brow at him. “And because I sacrifice a few hours twice a week, I steal your ugly T-shirts to compensate?”
A Little More (touch me) by miznarrarator--Brendon gets paranoid when one of his ex-girlfriends speculates about his relationship with Ryan. PG-13 "Is it? Is it my goddamn fault that he's got shit taste in ex-girlfriends? Is it my fault he picked one with no sense of discretion because she was good at giving head? I mean. It was old, even. Months old. Fuck." Yeah, not-thinking is so over.
Half These Songs Are About You by marianna--Brendon's jealous of Pete and Spencer and really anyone Ryan gets near. R There’s a lot of hate right there, and considering Pete Wentz is sort of like-well, not like an idol, because no. But just, he’s fucking Pete Wentz, and Brendon hates him; because that makes any kind of logical sense, really.
To a Flame by jzbell--The bus stops at a truck stop in the middle of the night, as Ryan's fighting his feelings for Brendon. PG-13 "Seriously, dude, there're truckers here. You're gonna get fucking shot," he warns, and Brendon freezes, making Ryan bump into him. He spins around, leaning in close and fast, and Ryan's sure if he didn't have so much practice fending off Brendon's spurious advances, Brendon's mouth would have been sealed to his, no question. Some day, he thinks, maybe he'll let it. Just to see what Brendon would do. Just to see...
Silence is Golden by disarm_d--Brendon and Ryan have some conversations that Brendon finds uncomfortable for a...variety of reasons. NC-17 Brendon is struck with how necessary it really was that he become the singer instead of Ryan. Ryan's voice is just indecent. They would have never gotten played on the radio.
A Tree Full of Monkeys on Nitrous Oxide by impertinence--Brendon discovers a problem with being the voice of someone else's words. Because, okay, objectively? Objectively he knows what the song's about. But when he thinks about who wrote it, and who's going to be fucking singing it, he kind of wants to whack his head against a wall a lot.
there's a world outside of my front door by beingothrwrldly--I guess Brendon was once knocked out by a bottle on stage, and this fic is centered around that incident. You can find the footage of the incident on youtube with little effort. Brendon has a way of pushing everyone's buttons, all the buttons at the same time, until Ryan's muscles are thrumming and he wants to punch Brendon in the eye. And it's not like he's being anything but Brendon, all little kid energy and curious questions, but it's all Brendon at the wrong time, because Ryan's fucking exhausted. So he says, "Cut it out," his voice low, and he knows what's coming next. He knows it.
History-proven Safety Songs by Charli J--This is classified as gen, and if this is the gen fic in this fandom, then wow. Brendon gets Ryan's help in a fight to the death. Someone bangs into the door. He can hear hollering, the knob jiggling. After a moment, Brendon bursts through, turning to shut the door as quickly as he opened it. Ryan eyes him over his shoulder, and Brendon bounds across the few feet to get to him, curving one hand around Ryan and pressing something into his stomach.
Broken Glass and Rusty Nails by Sara--I've never heard of anyone with a wrist kink, but I'm willing to roll with it in this case. The idea for the fic came from Ryan Ross's new tattoo, which the author helpfully provides pictures of. NC-17 Sometimes right before it rains his wrist aches a little where the bone snapped clean through. He tells Spencer about it, and Spencer wrinkles his brow and goes to get Ryan some aspirin, but that's not the point, really. Ryan kind of likes the ache.
Fire on Your Tongue by Chloe--A little kinky, which works, but I like this more for the look into Ryan's mind, and the way he's still so self-conscious even as a rock star. NC-17 Brendon stands up and loops the pilfered Louis Vuitton belt around his own waist. It clashes horribly with his lavender hoodie. At least Ryan thinks it does. But Ryan isn’t really thinking much at all right now.
One Summer Last Fall by provetheworst--This story isn't sad, not really, but it's a strange what-if world where Fall Out Boy never existed and Pete's nothing but a groupie. It's a good story, though. Ryan's mad at Brendon for making him gay. Brendon's a little touchy-feely, and it's starting to creep Ryan out. There's any number of reasons for this; for one, he's not really used to having some dude hanging off of him at all hours of the day and night. Then there's the part where Ryan's grasp of heterosexuality is tenuous at best, and Brendon isn't making his internal dilemmas any easier.
baisers a la creme by ficklish--A quick, adorable ficlet about Brendon's birthday. PG “No, no, you can’t make me,” Ryan retorts and reaches for his Sidekick to check the time. It’s eight-thirty and that is way too early to be doing anything, least of all celebrating Brendon’s birth. Ryan tries not to think about the fact that there are still nearly sixteen hours left of April, 12th and tugs at his blanket.
Brendon/Spencer
*new*
wait for you to show
me by provetheworst--Spencer puts too much stock in Brendon and Ryan's stage
performances, and comes to the wrong conclusions. I'm a bit of a sucker for love
at first sight and lots of pining thereafter, which, if you've read my
own Panic! stories you already know, so this hit me in exactly the right
place. NC-17
It's also enough for Spencer to realize he maybe has a crush. That in itself
is enough for Spencer to realize it's a terrible idea and pretty much destined
to never happen.
*new*
there is a time and place by kalpurna--Brendon forces a blow job on Spencer,
which is, I'm sure, a huge hardship. Also, Ryan's going to kill Spencer. NC-17
"Brendon. You're our lead singer. Ryan will murder me if I fuck up your
voice." He would, too. The time Brendon had eaten three ice cream splits before
performing had gone down in band history as the only time Jon Walker ever had to
physically restrain Ryan.
*new*
Never a Boy Scout by
foxxcub--A drunken game of I Never gets a little out of hand. NC-17
"Okay, wait wait." Brendon suddenly sits up, points a finger at Mike and
says, enunciating each word, "I've never come just from kissing." And before
anyone can comment, he drains the rest of his Bud Light.
*new*
Four Smoking Hot
Drummers That Brendon Urie Has Hooked Up With, And One That He Hasn't
(Technically) by kissingchaos9--Brendon hooks up with many drummers, but it
isn't until he has it helpful explained to him in very small words that he
understands what that means. R
"Is it because I'm a make out whore?" Brendon asks, laying his head on
Patrick's shoulder. He can pretty much hear Patrick roll his eyes before he
sighs and says, "No, you idiot, it's because I'm too old to go around making out
with my friends. Plus, it's not like it's really me you want to make out with."
*new*
The Florist. by
flash_indie--AU where Ryan is a florist and Brendon falls in love with him and
then learns that he is a person with deafness. I enjoyed this story a lot,
despite the author's tendency to "double noun" in her sentences. PG
“Thanks,” he says again, and the boy squints a little, looks straight into
Brendon’s eyes, and Brendon’s breath gets caught around his heart. “Thanks.”
*new*
Perfectly After
All by awakeunafraid--Renfaire AU, written by someone who obviously knows
their renfaires. Spencer's a gypsy and Jon's a pirate and Brendon and Ryan are
mortal enemies (except for when they're having sex against walls). Ryan and
Brendon and their relationship kill me in this. I found myself really worried
about how it would work out, but not wanting to skip to the end and ruin it at
the same time.
*new*
the country of your skin
by jocondite--Takes place in the (oh man) mansoup-era. The Panic! boys drive to
LA to meet Pete and the rest of the Fall Out Boy. And yes, there are hot tub
shenanigans. I love Brendon in this one, and how he's so painfully dense. NC-17
Brendon still gets that little rush of wow; it’s only been a month nearly
since Pete contacted them, came down and bought tacos for him and Ryan. A month,
and they’re in L.A. to hang out with Fall Out Boy, and Brendon gets to sing on
their album, and Pete Wentz is opening the car doors for them solicitously.
*new*
Featuring
Murray, Starring Rootbeer, And Z Is Totally Short For Zombie by skoosiepants--A
Saddle Club AU featuring the bandom boys and their horses. Silly and light and
sweet. PG
Spencer quirks an eyebrow, but his forehead smoothes out quickly, mouth
spreading into this huge smile, and god. God, Spencer has the best smile in the
whole entire fucking world, and Brendon is, like, so in love with him it’s
crazy.
*new*
Definitely Maybe
by Melissa (theaerosolkid)--Brendon wakes up a girl, and Spencer has to deal
with the differences. I love the last line of this story. It makes me giggle
forever. NC-17
"Fine, I guess," Brendon said, setting his phone aside. "Still kinda stuck on
Dude, Where's My Cock." Spencer curled up with him on the bed, kissing his neck
gently, moving automatically. Brendon flinched and pushed him away. "Hey, no.
That's just. Weird."
*new*
towns flying by by
jocondite--It starts off as Brendon and Spencer trying to keep warm in their
van, and goes from there. I'm kind of a sucker for huddle-together-for-warmth
fics, as well as denying-the-obvious fics, and this story has both. Also
features Pete/Ryan. No rating.
Brendon can't sleep, though, even though he lies there tired from the night's
show, waiting to fall asleep. It's too fucking cold. He's wearing two hoodies,
one on top of the other, the hoods drawn up over his head and cinched tight so
that only the smallest circle of his face peers through, red and cold.
Underneath him he can hear the rattle and clatter of the road, small stones
coming free from the asphalt and clicking against the mudguards, in a rough,
broken, almost-melody, a soft percussion. He's shifted and jarred by every
unevenness in the road, by every turn; to his left, Brent is snoring in
half-muffled, ragged breaths.
*new*
Hold it Together
(with craft paste) by madsciencechick--Elementary Teacher AU. Forget
genderswap, mpreg and, like, FBI AUs. THIS FIC is the most hard-to-believe
concept I've ever read. An elementary school made up almost entirely of male
teachers? Oh man, IF ONLY THAT WERE TRUE. MAYBE THEN I'D FINALLY MEET A DECENT
GUY. Anyway, after I got over that, I enjoyed the plight of angry!fifth grade
teacher!Spencer and his crush on traveling!art teacher!Brendon. Also features
Ryan/Keltie and Jon/Cassie. NC-17
First off, Spencer's kids don't like Mr. Urie. They love him. Spencer gets as
far as, "And then, before lunch, we're going to have guest, Mr. Urie, who--"
before the entire fucking class explodes into a flurry of excited whispering.
Spencer crosses his arms and stares at Emily until she shushes, ducking her head
down, because he knows that as goes Emily Tran, so goes his classroom.
*new*
Looking for
techniques by disarm-d--1960s British Boarding School AU! Kind of depressing
and dreary, with a heavier tone, but still an interesting read. Love the
evolution of Spencer and Brendon's relationship. Also contains Pete/Patrick.
NC-17
"My friend Pete dragged me over," Brendon says gesturing to a dark haired man
who's whispering loudly to the guy wearing a hat, sitting beside him. "I think
there may have been a slight confusion about whether this was romantic with a
capital or lower case 'r'. Who brought you?"
*new*
so cheap and juicy!
(aka, the brendon/spencer fic of there is no sex ever) by addandsubtract--A
cute fic where Spencer brings a mysterious crate into the cabin and Brendon is
intrigued. PG-13
“Hi, Spence,” but Spencer just looks over at him with a raised eyebrow,
wiggles his finger in half a wave from where they’re clutching at the crate, and
goes into his room, shutting the door softly behind him.
*new*
and i say it's all
right by becs--Ryan gets married and it causes Brendon to have an
existential crisis. Spencer goes along for the ride. Usually I am none too fond
of (1) future fics and (2) road trip fics, but this story makes them work. PG-13
Brendon, who by now is sitting on the curb, picking at the grass, blinks up
at him. "I'm fine," he says. It's pretty much the truth; he's a little shaken
up, a little bruised, but that's not really anything new.
*new*
The Way It Is
Now by skoosiepants--Brendon hates Haley, because she claims he's afraid of
girls. Being afraid of girls and being gay are two entirely different things.
Also, he is really blind. PG-13
“I.” Brendon stops, glares at Ryan, then back down at his cell. “I’m not
afraid of girls,” he mutters, and Ryan laughs, loud and short, like the sound
was startled out of him.
*new*
Five Kisses
(specifically, four kisses that really didn't count and one that really did)
by airgiodslv--5 kisses between Brendon and Spencer. PG
“So, would you say that you have all gotten very close?” The interviewer is
obviously fishing, and has been pressing down the same unimaginative path for
the past ten minutes. Spencer is tired of it.
*new*
Spencer's almost
positive this is Pete's fault by untappedbeauty--Since people playing with
my hair feels like, just, the best thing EVER, this story made me very happy.
NC-17
"Yes, you are," Brendon says, and it's in that quiet, focused voice, minus
the grin. Brendon drags his fingers back through Spencer's hair, undoing what
he'd just braided. He keeps them threading softly through the strands long
after, though.
*new*
if i only could by
audreysrev--A university AU wherein Brendon is majoring in German and Spencer
needs tutoring. PG
Because that's also the night Spencer finds out Brendon knows German, finds
out the Brendon is in fact majoring in German. The same night Spencer convinces
Brendon to tutor him.
*new*
Sex Tape by
airgiodslv--Spencer and Brendon try their hands at making a sex tape. NC-17
Brendon gives messy and enthusiastic blowjobs, and Spencer isn’t exactly
complaining, but hey. They’re making a porn movie. There are certain
expectations. They’d even made a list of scenes that should be included,
although Spencer still thinks that ‘bending over backwards while riding and
wearing a cowboy hat’ is a little extreme and not really their style.
*new*
Sweat the Battle Before
the Battle Sweats You by Marianna--This is a future fic, which I'm not too
fond of, because I like my guys as they are now! Still, it's not that far into
the future, and things are pretty much the same as they are now, except that
Spencer and Haley have broken up, and Spencer and Brendon are totally in love
with each other. PG-13
"Maybe I don't want it to go away," Spencer hisses, and he regrets his word
choice before the sounds have even passed his lips. He didn't -- it doesn't even
matter if he meant the words like they came out, it doesn't. He shouldn't have
said them, and Ryan shouldn't have heard them, because now he'll never let this
go, and Spencer is going to be stuck with him for the next four and a half
months.
Just close enough to touch by disarm_d--College AU where Brendon and Spencer meet in Jon's Starbucks on campus and take things from there. Spencer has a life plan, and Brendon shakes him up. The thing that Ryan doesn't consider when he makes fun of Spencer for not having sex, is that a) Spencer has a girlfriend, so he can't be having sex with strangers even if he wanted to and b) he totally does get laid. When he went back home on the Labor Day weekend, for example.
And Throw It Wide by andwristsintact--It's pretty fun to watch Spencer try to be sneaky in order to get Brendon alone. NC-17 Once they’re in the bunk space, Spencer has to think fast. He grabs the April issue of Esquire off his bed and rifles back a few pages. “Did you know that Twinkies contain limestone? And there’s, uh, cotton cellulose in the cream, which is also found in rocket fuel.”
Lying Beside You, Here in the Dark by kalpurna--Brendon and Spencer have their first time on a crappy, soggy bed, and it's awesome. NC-17 "Are you. God, Spencer, are you turned on right now?" "No," Spencer says, quickly. Brendon ignores this obvious lie, and reaches toward him with a rustle of blankets. There's a moment when Spencer thinks about moving, about batting his hands away, but then –
How Many Licks? by kueble--Brendon gets it into his head that he has to have sex with Spencer, and Spencer finds himself besieged. NC-17 “Point taken. Sorry. I’m usually suave. Like Rico and everything, honest,” Brendon said. He sounded discouraged, and Spencer risked a quick look, almost caving at the sincerely endearing look on Brendon’s face. Then he remembered that Brendon was cheesy and kind of a spaz, and he turned the page of his book. It wasn’t like he was reading it anyway.
You're Retail, But You're No Therapy by kueble--There seem to be an abnormal amount of mall AUs in this fandom. I don't know why, but I'm not complaining. In this one, Spencer works at Spencer's, Brendon works at the Disney store, Jon works at Starbucks and Ryan seems to be a self-employed Jon-watcher. NC-17 “You don’t have a nametag,” he says, frowning slightly. He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose, and even though the frames should be glaringly annoying, they just aren’t and Spencer can’t figure out why.
There Should Be A Name For Something Like This by skoosiepants--Hypothetically Brendon wants to know if Spencer would go out with him, and won't take no for a hypothetical answer. PG-13 Brendon climbed up on the couch. “No, no, hypothetically speaking.” He waved a hand. “Do you think Spencer would go out with me?”
Economies of Scale by disarm_d--College AU wherein Spencer meets Brendon in a Philosophy class, thinks he's annoying, but hangs out with him anyway. NC-17 They are all together in the library on a Sunday night because Ryan and Jon have midterms on Monday and Spencer has an essay due on Tuesday. Brendon probably has something due too, but he’s mostly just there because there is more company for him at the library than at home.
The World's Not Waiting by marianna--A lot of bandslash stories seem to center around a "grand gesture." In this one, Brendon builds Spencer a lemonade stand. R "Trying to keep you from slamming your thumb into a bloody pulp. Broken bones are not the most fun things in the entire world. Especially when you're a musician." Spencer fixes him with his most superior look, all haughty raised nose and twitching eyebrows.
Because you looked just like a girl and One day you'll be a man by disarm_d--Brendon turns into a girl, and then decides that he needs Spencer to show him how to please a woman. I like the end of this fic - it's darling. In the next one, it's Spencer that gets gender-whammied, and all of Brendon's insecurities rise to the surface. NC-17 He grabs his boobs and waits for something to happen. Nothing does. He tries squishing them together and okay, too hard, too hard. Maybe if he plays with the nipples? He holds one between his thumb and forefinger. It makes him feel kind of squirmy. But not in a good way.
an unpardonable mannerism of style by Hans--Another College AU where at first Spencer can't stand Brendon, and then it seems to become a case of the lady protesting too much. R "Someone would probably notice if I stole some hydrochloric and put it in someone's drink, huh," Spencer says over lunch one day, stabbing savagely at his salad.
keep you from sinking by theotherej--Spencer's sick and Brendon wants to help. PG-13 “Here! I bought you some blankets!” He starts to pile them on one by one when Spencer starts struggling, kicking a little in the process.
You Can Get What You Need by kissingchaos9--The thing about this fic is that I totally thought it was leading us one way, when it totally wasn't. I'm not alone in that assumption either, judging from the comments. But whatever. It's a good story about Brendon and Spencer bonding over being in love with oblivious people. PG-13 Lie number one: Brendon has accepted the fact that he and Ryan will never be anything more than bandmates and best friends. He’s fine with that. Anything is better than nothing, even if it hurts a little.
Ryan/Jon
Flux by voltagecity--Ryan is determined not to like Jon, even though Jon's making it really, really hard. R Jon was amazing. Charming. Weak, yellowy sunlight filtered in through the long, slender window of the Smith family's kitchen, filling it with a thin sort of warmth that seeped through Ryan's t-shirt and reminded him that fall was coming.
The Color Yellow by voltagecity--An AU where Ryan goes to Chicago to get away from his dad and meets Jon. Short and very sweet. PG So now his apartment was quiet, the silence only broken by the crinkling of the Starbucks bag as he retrieved a scone and bit into it as if he was exacting some kind of revenge on his day. He fell asleep there again, his life beginning to settle into a monotonous droning routine that probably would have sucked the life out of him eventually, had it not been for Jon.
and forget that we'd ever met (and what did or did not occur) by jocondite--(also Jon/Brendon and Jon/Spencer)--Three alternate ways that Jon could have met the other three members of the band. The Jon/Ryan snippet is my favorite, but all three are good. “I- I really like your band,” the kid – Ryan – says, quick and kind of intense. “You guys are amazing, I really - I listen to your albums all the time.”
A tedious argument of insidious intent by violentfires--Ryan is very persistent. Jon never stood a chance. Also, points for the "Prufrock" reference. PG-13ish Ryan stared at him, perplexed, like Jon just spoke in Japanese or something. "I'm not saying you're gay, I'm saying you should make out with me."
Brendon/Jon
*new* A Better Kiss by kueble_fic--Brendon is persistent when there's something that he wants. NC-17 He scatters them around the cabin, sticking one every place he thinks Jon would look. There’s a yellow note on the bathroom mirror that says Jon Walker is sexy in the morning. Leave the stubble. And when Jon comes down to breakfast unshaven and smirking, Brendon congratulates himself.
Gradeschool by highlightdelete--Jon Walker has joined the most ridiculous band ever. PG “Jon Walker Jon Walker Jon Walker,” Brendon said, sprawling out on the couch and putting his head directly into Jon’s lap as Jon raised his hands up to keep the controller to the game out of the way. Once Brendon had made himself comfortable in Jon’s lap, he started talking. “We should hang out more.”
you are the veil
by kissingchaos9--Wing!fic. Brendon has wings and he's very sensitive about
them. PG-13
“Come on, Brendon. They’re fucking gorgeous. Please, just a few shots.” Jon
is holding his camera so tightly that his knuckles are white and Brendon almost
wants to punch him. He would, he thinks, if it were anyone but Jon Fucking
Walker.
Ryan/Spencer
*new*
Momentum by marianna--This
is a sweet story, semi-AU, about an young, idealistic Ryan and a realistic
Spencer and the way that they work together. In it, Ryan wants to become an FBI
agent and Spencer helps make it happen. PG
"I was just looking up summer internships," Spencer is so totally the type of
guy who would do that. If he weren't Ryan's best friend, Ryan would probably
hate him for this fact alone. Or, OK, probably not, because Spencer is the
awesomest guy Ryan knows, but it's easy to tease him. "And you'd have to like.
Apply, or whatever. But there's a really great one with this guy, in DC, this
politician guy, and Ryan, I looked, and you have to be in college to get an
internship with the FBI. But this could like. Get your foot in the door. It'll
look really good on your applications too. For like. When you're trying to get
into Yale and shit."
*new*
she didn't
choose this role [but she'll play it and make it sincere] by joker_and_thief--AU
where Ryan is a girl and has to deal with being the only girl in a band with
four guys, rumors about her and Brendon's relationship and being in love with
her best friend. NC-17
Ryan always makes a point of changing around the guys, because hello, she’s
comfortable around them; they usually share tiny dressing rooms, and though
there’s often support acts and the Lucent Dossier girls in there, it’s Ryan and
Jon and Spencer and Brendon that the journalists always watch like a hawk,
observing everything and writing it down, ready to be twisted around in print
later on.![]()
*new*
all the small things
by inkjunket--Pre-Panic! Spencer gets a girlfriend and Ryan is Not. Happy. I
love the way that they are such bffs in this story. Adult
She's cute, and friendly, and nice, and Brent and Trevor seem to enjoy
playing to an audience, and aren't dicking around as much as they usually do.
They're playing at Brent's cousin's birthday party next week, and they need the
practice, so Ryan should be grateful to her for that, but he really can't dredge
up that emotion for her. Ryan just doesn't like her.
Pick Me Up by Arsenic--Spencer tries to cheer Ryan up after he gets back from seeing his father in the hospital. It's a twenty minute drive to the hospital and Spencer cranks the radio, even though he can't find anything good to listen to. He would have taken a CD, but it's nearly three in the morning, and he was sort of preoccupied.
cupcake by midnightsausage--Ryan turns into a gay cupcake. Really. And I thought SGA fandom was weird. PG-13 It is, Spencer concedes, a very pretty cupcake. Pink frosting, with small, delicate red sugar roses that were crowned by tiny silver balls, like dewdrops, and a gold embossed white paper casing around the bottom. It looks like something from a little girl's fantasy tea party.
Walking Sideways Takes Longer, But You Get There Eventually by disarm_d--Wow, Ryan's just really, really wrong. About, like, everything. NC-17 Ryan thinks Spencer’s shy with girls, which is pretty pointless. Spencer’s smart and funny and knows all the lyrics to Dude Ranch; all the important stuff, even though sometimes girls don’t realize it.
So We’ll Stop Pretending by Gale--It's a pre-Panic story about Ryan and Spencer. Ryan discovers that he likes to look pretty. Spencer discovers he likes it too. He wondered, sometimes, if his mom had stuff like this, pretty slippery things she kept in soft boxes for special occasions. Hidden at the back of her closet, maybe, instead of the attic, behind where his parents kept the suitcases; or in her top dresser drawer, next to her socks.

and of your
etcetera by parcae--Brendon feels left out and confused and maybe a little
pissed off when Jon joins the band and Spencer and Ryan's love fest while
Brendon's still out in the cold. Because he's NOT that guy. PG-13/R
Three and a half weeks after Jon officially joins, Brendon walks in on him
giving Spencer a neck massage. Spencer's eyes are closed, and the expression on
his face is one of utter peace; Brendon walks out quietly, making sure the door
doesn't slam, and tries to smile.

Cave of
Wonders by Melissa (theaerosolkid)--When Jon joins the band, he hears all
about the group orgies he's in for. Hee! NC-17
"Seriously. You're going to be touring with Panic! At the Disco. I figure
that having the life fucked out of you is the same as jerking off too much. And
vitamin E is good for your eyes."

Burn Up In Love, Love, Love
by dsudis--I sincerely support the influx of bottom!Jon fics that have cropped
up recently. In this one, during their break, Jon runs away to Chicago to figure
out what the hell he's doing. He regrets it almost as soon as he gets there.
(very, very) NC-17
Everything about Chicago made sense. It was a city perched across the mouth
of a river, on the edge of a lake where cities belonged. The streets were laid
out in a grid according to geometry and logic. There were no slot machines in
the grocery stores, or the diners, or the airport. Chicago was cool and gray and
sane, the perfect opposite of Vegas and the perfect antidote to life on tour.
Sweeter Than Candy, Better Than Cake by jzbell--Jon's both excited and scared of the crazy relationship his other three bandmates have. Also, he is very, very distracted by Ryan's new life decision to wear lip gloss. As I find in most gsf fics, Spencer is completely awesome here. NC-17 And jesus, it wasn't like he needed to bring any more attention to that mouth. Jon thought it was kind of unfair. It made it difficult to keep looking at Ryan in a strictly professional light.
Synergy by kueble--Nothing really happens in this story. It's just a nice take on their every day lives. Brendon wants to celebrate their anniversary. NC-17 “Today’s our anniversary!” Brendon yelped as he ran into the lounge and waved his hands frantically. Spencer looked up from the TV long enough to roll his eyes, Jon quirked an eyebrow, and Ryan yawned.
That's What He Said by Sara--Ryan's horny and jealous of the attention Brendon shows Jon, but also loves Spencer, and it all comes together nicely. NC-17 "Oh baby," Brendon said, pulling Ryan's hips closer and grinding a little, jesus, right as Ryan said, "I'm not in love with you, let me go."
Your Axis On A Tilt by fuzzyblogic--Ryan gets turned into the smartest dog in the world and gets taken home by Brendon. I'm not sure if this story is locked. If it is, just friend the community. The fact that he couldn’t possibly be a small dog, because he was human and what the fuck, was being completely ignored by whatever was in charge here. Ryan had tried to explain, after his initial and total freaking out at waking up with paws, that it was him and they didn’t need to put him in a cage, no really, it’s me, wait hang on what are you doing?
Still Places I Haven't Been by quettaser--Jon notices the dynamic between the other three guys and doesn't think that he's invited. Emphasis on Jon/Ryan and Brendon/Spencer. NC-17 But there are nights, with Ryan and Brendon in the bunk beneath him, or all three of them in the back lounge and Jon's so hard it hurts, that it only takes a few tugs, rough and quick, before Jon's coming, leaving him wrecked and gasping but not sated. Not by a long shot.
Clearly Aware Of the Stars by fuzzyblogic--Pre-fame, Brendon meets Jon and gets a huge crush on him. First Ryan teases him mercilessly, then he offers to help. Too adorable for words, really. Emphasis on Brendon/Jon and Spencer/Ryan. NC-17 “Okay, I would totally do Jon Walker, and I gave him my fucking phone number, are you happy now?” Brendon thunked his head briefly against the steering wheel.
Like So Much Science by proteinscollide--Jon's not sure about his place, and Brendon's attentions are more unnerving than anything else. NC-17 Jon’s been on the Panic! bus before, but he’d always been there as part of some other entity – friend of their friends, TAI crew, the temp guy. So it’s not without some trepidation that he steps up to the bus that first night, only to be greeted by Brendon bouncing into his personal space and saying oh so casually, “Let’s celebrate! I call for a group orgy.”
Crush (With Eyeliner) by Sara--The first Panic! fic I ever ran across. It was definitely...an intense introduction, I'll give it that. I've become kind of a sucker for Jon-feels-like-an-outsider fics, and this story has that in spades, bless it. It also has Spencer talking dirty, the hotness of which I could not have conceived of until finally watching some of their interviews. Anyway, the story's really hot and really kind of fucked up (I can definitely relate to Jon's reservations throughout), but mostly you should read it for Spencer. NC-17 And it would have been cute and funny and maybe even a little sweet, except that in Atlanta Jon got lost in the venue and ended up peering into the wrong dressing room or, possibly, the right one, because in the flickering dusty flourescent lights he saw Brendon leaning up against a cracked dressing table, Ryan on his knees in front of him giving what looked and oh god, sounded, like a very enthusiastic blowjob.

We Should Take the Road
Less Traveled by foxxcub--Brendon/Spencer, Jon/Ryan--1950s boarding school
AU, complete with furtive meetings and secret pining. R
"It's. We're just friends. Brendon's very...tactile." Spencer doesn't look up
from his book, but Ryan can see the pink flush along the back of his neck.

The Otherwise Untitled
Spencer Smith/Brendon Urie Kitten Story by marianna--Brendon/Spencer,
Jon/Ryan--Spencer is trying very hard not to find Brendon adorable. Contrary to
what the title might lead you to believe, Brendon and Spencer don't turn into
kittens (and doesn't it say something about this fandom that that was my first
thought?), but Brendon cuddles with them a lot. R
“Spence, Spencer look! KITTENS!” There’s a smile that’s like, splitting
Brendon’s face and a whole box-full of kittens tumbling over each other a few
inches in front of where he’s kneeling.

YOU HAVE DIED
OF DYSENTERY by Becs--gen--Panic!, FOB, TAI and MCR on the Oregon Trail. So
sweet and so funny. Jon can shoot BEARS. Ryan is always getting bitten by snakes
or contracting typhoid.
They stay at Fort Laramie a few extra days because Ryan has a fever, possibly
typhoid. Spencer and Brendon bundle him up as comfortably as possible in the
back of the wagon where he spends most of his time sleeping or insisting that
he's better, now, really, we can leave now, guys. Spencer calls him on bullshit
every time, though, and then spends a lot of time pacing around the fort
worriedly and trading some of his least favorite shoes for better blankets to
tuck around Ryan. This, Brendon knows, means that he is really, really worried.

Been Taken
by disarm-d and foxxcub--Brendon/Spencer/Ryan--Inspired by the slumber party
pics, Brendon, Spencer and Ryan share a pull out bed in some dude's basement,
pre-fame. Stuff happens. It's so fun being in Brendon's head during this. It's
embarrassing, some times, because he's SO sheltered and awkward, but his total
AWE at the situation is hilarious (and HOT). NC-17
Brendon's never gotten even one person to suck on his cock before, and two?
Two people wanting to do that? Brendon's never even imagined something like
that.![]()

Song for the
girl by disarm_d--Spencer/Brendon/Ryan--The third in a series, sequel to the
previously recced One day
you'll be a man and
Because you look just like a girl. This time, Ryan changes into a girl and
Brendon and Spencer help him change back. With sex. NC-17.
"I took it a lot better than this when I turned into a girl," Brendon
whispers to Spencer from where they are standing in the doorway.

just jealous cause
we're young and in love by imogenedisease--Brendon/Zack--Brendon/Zack is a
pairing I never thought I would go for in a million years, but this fandom makes
me do crazy things, I guess. This is an AU where Brendon is a senior in high
school and Zack is a new hall monitor in the school. It's adorable. The only
thing that it's missing is Ryan, who doesn't seem to exist in this reality. Also
features Spencer/Jon. No rating.
The second month in, Zack saves him from a toilet.
“I love you," Brendon says. "You're my hero. Marry me."
Wednesday Night Boys by Arsenic--Ryan/Jon/Brendon, Spencer/Bob Bryar (MCR)--A hooker AU that is long and will, like, I don't know, make you want to be a prostitute. (Ok, it won't do that, but it's still pretty amazing.) Angst, angst, angst with a happy ending that I reread like four times [in fact, case in point, I reread it again just now. So, you know, *five* times]. [see also: Home Is A Name, the MCR prequel] NC-17 "Oh." Brendon's smile faltered for a second but then he put it back on, forcefully. "Okay, that's cool. It's early, right? Because I haven't had many offers and Thomas was pretty insistent about my earnings this week--proving myself, you know--and uh, well--"
