attracts the kind of Top who might not look twice in his direction otherwise, all the better. - I'm curious; what sort of top do you imagine Jon would want/need? Pairing-wise I'm fond of either Spencer/Jon or just Panic GSF where everyone takes care of Jon, in all meanings of the word. In more general sense I think he would need a top who is... "relaxed" isn't the right word, but someone who doesn't need to control every single aspect of Jon's life, who trusts and respects Jon to do it himself. Someone mature and experienced enough to know when to let go as well as when to reign in (and isn't afraid to do it hard when need be), someone who is secure in him/herself.
The vulnerability, the risk, all worth it to count, to be counted as worthy by someone. - I think more than anything, Brendon just wants to matter. He has this huge need for validation, from the fans, from his band. He soaks up every kind word and casual touch like he's starving for it. And yet he's adrift, aimlessly bouncing from person to person, searching without knowing what he's searching for.
Re Pete: Yes to everything you said. Pete needs the safety of a long-term relationship. He doesn't know how to set limits for himself so he needs someone who can do that for him, someone with whom he can test those limits with confidence, knowing he'll be pulled back when he goes too far.
Ryan... that boy has some serious power/control issues. And I can see it going either way with him, which is why I think he's a switch. But whether or not Ryan takes the control or let's it go, he would be beautiful doing it.
Gerard? Totally tops other guys, only bottoms to women or genderqueer folk. On principle. - I'm inclined to agree. It's like his political stance against institutionalised patriarchy. However, I seem to have been drawn into writing Patrick/Gerard/Pete comment fic (http://kat-lair.livejournal.com/113518.html?thread=1913710#t1913710), where Gerard is the one being spanked. *sigh* I'm so easily seduced into these things, it's not even funny.
