Re: NEW FOB THREAD OF AMAZINGNESS
Date: 2010-12-08 05:41 am (UTC)Ahhh, the elusive evidence of Pete/Mikey - this primer gives some pretty good examples that they were at the very least BFFs for awhile, but there was also lots of wearing-each-others'-clothes-and-glasses going on, and hanging out on the sidelines of each others' concerts, and dedicating songs to each other and stuff going on. Pete being really, really cryptic in everything he writes on the internet doesn't help clarify matters, either. But we love him anyways, the crazy little twit. (you will enjoy the MANY PICTURES OF GLASSES!MIKEY, I AM SURE.)
Also, here, have a random somewhat-weird Pete/Patrick manifesto that is nonetheless full of cute. ♥
AND I HAVE UNEARTHED ONE MORE PATRICK/GERARD FIC FROM MY ARCHIVES, LULZ - and boy it's a good thing I saved it, because it looks like the original post has been friends-locked into oblivion. This fic is just. OH GERARD.

Date: 2010-12-08 06:09 am (UTC)GLASSES!MIKEY! Best kind of Mikey. Dude, you're fucking awesome. I hope you're enjoying spamming the crap out of me, because I'm enjoying being spammed. And I'm working on getting Ange to love FOB, now, too. Which isn't hard, thanks to Patrick's unearthly vocal range.
GERARRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD ♥ YayyayayTHANKYOU! :D
Re: NEW FOB THREAD OF AMAZINGNESS
Date: 2010-12-08 05:33 pm (UTC)Okay, so I finished IHBATU last night and DAMN that is some gloriously fucked up shit right there. I really love how fucking classy it is, like, Gerard and Frank not magically becoming soulmates at the end (like you said) and just. Shit being basically screwed. It wasn't all neat and clean and perfect. ...That said, a tiny, cheap, slutty part of me was like, BUT I SORT OF WANTED SEX... SORT OF. Oh well. I'm glad it stayed classy. Though I'm not so sure what I thought of the ending. It was logical enough, but like. Idk. I'm not entirely comfortable with it. It feels too much like the author is really hardcore into Buffy and Supernatural and like, just sort of fell back on them as tropes to give it a sort of grand finale, you know? But hey. MCR as rogue demon fighters. I can dig it.
And this literally made me choke on ice: "God, you're such a whiner," Bob said, holding Frank's hand tighter. Then he said, "Hey, it's Bob. You need to come back to Frank's place, his feet are about to explode or some shit, I don't know. Attention seeker."
ASDFGHJKLOOOOLLLLLL OH BOB, BABY. WHY ARE YOU NOT IN MY LIFE ANYMORE?
Oh right, and this is in the FOB thread. SO. I was actually less pleased with the college au than I wanted to be. Oh well. Gerard was still fun, but like, kind of obnoxious because I knew a few of those in school and they still bring up my INSTA-KILL urges, even if only in fiction. But still well-written.
And then RIGHT AFTER I finished that one, like, literally as I hit the period, I got called over to lay the smackdown on high security, coming back just in time to try and read the Advent Day 20 thing. But basically I failed because people kept expecting me to, like. Work. Assholes.
Re: NEW FOB THREAD OF AMAZINGNESS
Date: 2010-12-10 06:10 am (UTC)...there are sequels? :D? OTHER THAN THAT I SAY NOTHING.
That scene with Bob is definitely one of my favorites of that whole fic. &Bob; The other fave part would probably be the bit where Frank can't take it anymore and uses Gerard as an analgesic body pillow, aww. Gerard's O.o; reaction gets me every time, that and the fact that Bob susses out what's going on in like, 0.2 seconds. BOB, HOW SO AWESOME.
Re: NEW FOB THREAD OF AMAZINGNESS
Date: 2010-12-10 06:15 am (UTC)...Actually, it depends. Like, are they good? I'm sort of not too pleased with the SUPER-AWESOME EVIL ASSKICKING TEAM OF AWESOME ending. Idk. I know I said that already, but just. Sigh... I feel like it took the sort of mundane, human quality out of the piece. And I really enjoyed that it had that feeling for so long, even if it was technically a supernatural-themed fic. Oh well. I'll definitely try sequels.
Dude, just. Bob. Fucking AWESOMEFACE Bob. And the analgesic body pillow. Yeah. Especially when the skingasm happens and Gerard nearly goes catatonic with tension.
Re: NEW FOB THREAD OF AMAZINGNESS
Date: 2010-12-10 06:22 am (UTC)Here's her page, just scroll down to 'Unholyverse'
And I dunno? I've read both of them, and while they were good, I'm not as wildly enthusiastic about them as the rest of bandom seems to be. But that could just be the way I feel about her writing style, and the way she jams Buffy references and info-dumps into every other scene. But some neat stuff happens in the sequels if you wade through all that.
Also, here's that WWI fic that I mentioned that one time, Putting Out the Lantern. Idk, you may find it a wee bit on the schmoopy side, but c'mon. ROARING TWENTIES AU, FUCK YEAH.
Re: NEW FOB THREAD OF AMAZINGNESS
Date: 2010-12-10 06:30 am (UTC)I get the Buffy-evangelism from IHBATU already, so. Yeah. Like, LOOK AT ME I'M TOTALLY INTO NERDY POP-CULTURE IT'S AWESOME. ...Which I'd be a total hypocrite for condemning in like, any way.
YESSSS okay roaring twenties. I'M SO IN. I think I can deal with some modicum of shmoop (in moderation) in certain au's. I think.
