longtime_lurker: Fic: joyful girl (Ashlee gen with Pete/Ashlee, R)
http://longtime-lurker.livejournal.com/16145.html

Tame little rebellions, maybe, but in this family Ashlee's already learned to take what she can get.

"Look, it's like," she says finally, feeling drunk and dumb and bad with words. "I was raised to talk about God when you were sober and sex when you were wasted. As far as I can tell, in your world or whatever, it's basically the other way round." [Lovely, believable traces-canon-and-fills-in-the-gaps type Ashlee-centric fic.]

When she was 11, Ashlee Simpson hated her sister. While she never admits this in so many words, her actions back then spoke volumes. She resented Jessica’s elder status, the way her parents fawned over their firstborn’s dreams of pop stardom...felt inferior, awkward, left out. A popular girl at school in Waco, Texas, Jessica would regularly have friends over, banishing Ashlee to her bedroom upstairs. But Ashlee was a combative force even as a preteen, and she liked nothing better than embarrassing her sister...so, wearing only a bathrobe, she would stomp down to Jessica’s gathering, disrobe before everyone and play the guitar naked, all the while grinning like a lunatic.

REC: Very bittersweet, as well as hot. "When she was 11, Ashlee Simpson hated her sister. While she never admits this in so many words, her actions back then spoke volumes.

From day one it's clear to her that Jessica is the golden child.

Good look at Ashlee's life...

She knocks herself out to look hot and ends up looking like Jessica; she wraps herself all around Pete and is quiet and clingy all night. She drinks far too many vodka-redbulls and practically gropes him in all the pictures and then spends half an hour throwing up. -- Transcends fanfiction to be a story in its own right, it's just very very real and inspiring.

Later she'll write a dozen songs trying desperately to reassert that defiance, to recapture those days when she felt so precariously different, so attention-gettingly alive. It won't really work, not once they've passed through the hands of a dozen co-writers and producers and label people and Daddy.

>> From day one it's clear to her that Jessica is the golden child. << Oh Ashlee. This was so amazing. I have no words.

to read (frank/gerard, vampires?)

90% sure this is already book marked. That awesome supernatural detective AU with vampires.

Pete, in Decaydance Mansion, with a yarrow stake. Frank and Gerard, in the greenhouse, with a plant of questionable origin. Bob, everywhere you look, with a gang of assassins for justice. Vampires, valets, pamphlets, haunted furniture, dub-thrall, disembodied voices, zombie couriers, and sinister rituals.

R AU okay, so i love this to death, but i'm distressed by it! it's wonderful and kind of regency and kind of REALLY NOT. but with vampires &etc. the end is kind of... uh. what?? no more?? BUT STILL ALL REALLY GOOD. (ryan ross got very lost. :[ )

The sign on the door reads, “Thank you for visiting Gerard Way's Vampire Detective Agency. If calling after daylight hours, please speak with Mr. Iero upon arriving. If calling during the day, please come back at night.”

Frank is Gerard's valet! And a vampire, and Gerard is a human who acts as a detective for the paranormal community, and Pete may or may not be dead, but whatever, to me this will always be the story where Frank is Gerard's valet and it is *awesome*.

Summary: Pete, in Decaydance Mansion, with a yarrow stake. Frank and Gerard, in the greenhouse, with a plant of questionable origin. Bob, everywhere you look, with a gang of assassins for justice. Vampires, valets, pamphlets, haunted furniture, dub-thrall, disembodied voices, zombie couriers, and sinister rituals.

Jon was not opposed to marrying to his advantage in principle, but he'd never thought to wed himself to the season's scandal.

Jon/Tom, NC-17. 40,000 words Regency AU. Jon was not opposed to marrying to his advantage in principle, but he'd never thought to wed himself to the season's scandal.

Regency AU. Jon was not opposed to marrying to his advantage in principle, but he'd never thought to wed himself to the season's scandal.

This was a pleasure to read, and so fabulous. This 'verse completely drew me in. The writing has a pitch-perfect style that reflects the period in which the story was set. I loved seeing Jon and Tom's romance develop, and wow, it was ridiculously hot.

NC17. SUMMARY: Regency AU. Jon was not opposed to marrying to his advantage in principle, but he'd never thought to wed himself to the season's scandal.

There was a dragon on the outskirts of the kingdom. This was the best thing to happen ever.

How Sir Brendon of Urie, a knight of the realm, along with his faithful companions, did quest to slay the fearful dragon of the mountain, and other adventures

here was a dragon on the outskirts of the kingdom. This was the best thing to happen ever.

"Once upon a time, said "You haven't been indulging your secret fantasy writer self enough. JEN, WRITE A STORY WHERE PEOPLE LIVE IN CASTLES, I AM SO SERIOUS, YOU NEED TO WRITE THIS!""

Comedy magical kingdom knights AU! Silly and sweet and with most of bandom turning up at some point or another, this is very much the essence of bandom comfort fic.

Quests to save dragons, Spencer the disgruntled princess, top hat!Patrick, Amanda Palmer Vicky-T and Greta as badass sorceresses, TAI/CS as do-gooder bandits, MCR trying to make everyone believe in magic again.

[PG] Warning: Spencer is inexplicably a princess.-- There was a dragon on the outskirts of the kingdom. This was the best thing to happen ever.

Summary: There was a dragon on the outskirts of the kingdom. This was the best thing to happen ever. “Ever,” Brendon enthused, clanking along in his armor toward the audience chamber. “I can prove myself now. I can have a quest.”

16000. Spencer is inexplicably a princess. Brendon finally finds a quest to win Spencer's heart.

College AU. Ryan's friends from Vegas come to visit and meet his hot roommate. Wacky hijinks ensue.

Ryan already knew that Jon was hot. He had eyes, after all, and he only needed glasses when he drove. He also wasn't stupid. So it wasn't like when Brendon leaned in and whispered (definitely loud enough for Jon to hear), "Ryan, your roommate is so fucking hot," a series of synapses fired in Ryan's brain that ended with him getting a big, fat crush on Jon Walker. He'd already been there long before his friends came for a visit. But just because someone wanted something didn't mean he got it and Ryan knew that, too.

Ryan's friends from Vegas come to visit and meet his hot roommate. Wacky hijinks ensue.

"Fuck," Ryan exhaled as Pete let him go and Jon walked over to where Spencer and Gabe were lining up a row of empty bottles to do God-only-knew-what. He caught Spencer giving Jon a surprised glance just before Ashlee stole Ryan's hat and pulled his attention back to them. "Hello to you, too," she said pointedly, adjusting the fedora on her head. Ryan's shoulders sagged. "Sorry," he said, and he really did mean it, "that just didn't play out the way I'd expected it to." Ashlee smiled brightly. "Love makes us do funny things!" "When did I get so obvious?" Ryan sighed. "Uh, at least since you were seventeen and posting half-naked pictures of yourself online?" Pete said, and Ryan scowled. "Oh, for fuck's sake, Ross, stop looking at me like that. It's what got me to read your poetry, isn't it?" "So you keep reminding me every two days."

Summary: College AU. Ryan's friends from Vegas come to visit and meet his hot roommate. Wacky hijinks ensue.

Chicago Bromance Stockholm Syndrom: a cautionary tale. Or: Five Dudes Jon Walker Has Been Kind Of Gay With.

2009-03, casual mentions of drug use | Author's summary: Jon gets into the Chicago scene pretty early | Or, "Jon hasn't been pining for Ryan at all and doesn't realize they're dating. I WOULD READ SO MANY STORIES WITH THAT BASIC PLOT."

Jon knows where he belongs and it's in a bus or even a van with a bunch of other guys going backwards and forwards across the country and getting far too well acquainted with each other's sweaty armpits. Jon loves his guys. In Chicago, that's what you do.

(alternate version c: Jon hasn't been pining for Ryan at all and doesn't realize they're dating. I WOULD READ SO MANY STORIES WITH THAT BASIC PLOT.)

Brendon sees all of his possibilities.

all the brendons that could have been.

A quarterlife crisis is when all your what-ifs, the lives you could have lived, gather and fight about choices you should have made and opportunities you shouldn't have missed.

O_______O

at brendon's quarterlife crisis, every possible brendon meets every other brendon and poor patrick has to sift through them all.//so many possibilities, it's magical, i swear to god.
