kat_lairHere are the rest of isobell’s birthday drabbles. She made me reach new depths of Bandom caves; first time writing both Panic and MCR.
Bandslash – Panic At The Disco – Brendon/Ryan – PG
Apparent
(prompt: mirror)
Brendon watches himself watch Ryan watch himself fiddle with his scarf.
The dressing room is tiny. He’d only need to take two steps back to bump shoulders with Ryan, but the mirrors create an artificial distance and Brendon lets it grow; a silver labyrinth without a start or finish.
He sees all these reflections of Ryan – a procession of pretty brown-eyed boys stretching on forever – but it’s like he doesn’t see Ryan.
Brendon is adrift somewhere in flat glass and curved light, and the sudden touch is like a lifebuoy.
“You ready?” Ryan asks, his hand warm against Brendon’s skin.
Bandslash – My Chemical Romance – Frank/Gerard – PG-13
Kairos
(prompt: revolution)
“It was a mutiny, a battle cry, a… a fucking revolution!”
“What’s that?” Frank snags a chair, interrupting cheerfully.
“Rock ‘n roll!” Ray answers. “A musical expression of a fight for freedom.”
Gerard is nodding along. “Glory days. Now it’s a bunch of skinny white dudes desperately looking for a cause, something worth screaming for.”
Franks reaches across the sticky Formica table, lugging Gerard in the shoulder. Hard. “What the fuck, Gee? You’re saving lives here, remember?”
Gerard grins sheepishly. “Maybe. Don’t know about changing the world, though.”
You changed mine, Frank thinks, but he doesn’t say it out loud.

on 2008-02-03 11:16 pm (UTC)Also, Panic (!)'s album managed to go from "well, sort of" to "AGAIN!" the other day. I am possibly the only person on earth that listens to music I am too old for didactically.

Although it is highly amusing to me that when I'm in a train in the morning, wearing my professional clothes and looking all studious, I sit in front of some emo teen with black nail polish and a MCR hoodie and we both have headphones on with exactly the same music.

on 2008-02-03 11:55 pm (UTC)At least I don't have to dress like a grown-up. I think I keep my job partially because I get to show up in jeans and a T-shirt every day. Heck, it's the Pacific Northwest, so even the lawyers in business men rarely look like anything but extras from an old Pearl Jam video. But I do put on headphone at work and giggle when I think about attempting to explain just why I am listening to CS. "Well, there's this girl I know that writes gay porn about them..." :D
*posted ficlet, iz scared*

on 2008-02-04 12:11 am (UTC)Well, I don't usually have to wear anything too stylish... being a part-time uni tutor means I too can roll in jeans and an inside-out t-shirt and pass it all of as academic eccentricity.
giggle when I think about attempting to explain just why I am listening to CS. "Well, there's this girl I know that writes gay porn about them..." - AHAHAHAA! Quite!
yay for ficlet! *runs to see*

on 2008-02-04 12:41 am (UTC)I've got a whole family of pro and semi-pro musicians - classical musicians/composers/conductors/ rock guitarists/ Christian singer-songwiters/ piano-pop in Vegas, and all I got was the ability to "see" all of it.
Ah, "Ghost of You" - its on my newest mix in progress - Heroes Peter/Nathan (again! - but s.2, what with all the added "I let you die" angst). Now, if I can just convince myself that I can make MCR and Tom McRae work on the same mix.
My Ipod has either been bandom or porny SGA pod-fic, so it would probably be easier to explain the CS than "gay military space porn, based on a show you've never heard of, written and recorded by amatuers"

on 2008-02-04 01:23 pm (UTC)As ever my dear a fantastic way with words and the second drabble just made me laugh, especially with the comment about rock n roll just being a bunch of skinny white dudes desperately looking for a cause
Yeah and I know what quoting does to you. *grins*
