Bandslash Drabbles: Apparent, Kairos

[kat_lair]

Here 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.

Nice! They lend themselves to drabbles/vignettes, don't they? I love the mirrors. (I always love mirror fic...)

So, so sweet, both of them! Have to say the MCR's my favourite, just 'cause I love them more, but they're both wonderful.

“A musical expression of a fight for freedom.”

I like.

Oh, shiny...:) Ah, MCR and the world-changing. I seriously love them because they honestly seem to think they are.

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.

I absolutely love this line in the first drabble but the mirrors create an artificial distance and Brendon lets it grow; a silver labyrinth without a start or finish.

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*
