the wonder keeping the stars apart

I wrote this a year ago and it makes me giggle now. Totally unbeta'ed, unless you count me sending it to wow_katie back in the days of yore.

Name: Merry Christmas, I could care less
Author: paraserpiente
Pairing: Jon/Brendon
Rating: PG-13 for language

(  Brendon is almost, almost asleep when his phone buzzes on the night table beside him. )

Title: Red Letter Moments
Author: paraserpiente
Rating: R
Pairing: Brendon/Ryan (Spencer/Jon, Pete/Patrick, others)
Word Count: ~29,000
Summary: If goddamned Ryan Ross hadn't turned eighteen, things would have continued on just dandy. But life, much as we'd like to believe it, is no fairy tale, even in faraway lands and distant futures. Aladdin AU. ...sort of.
Disclaimer: Not mine, don't know them, never happened.
Warnings: Sketchy human-robot relations, the barest grasp of ~technology, outright silliness
Author's Notes: Okay, so about August, wow_katie said "Wouldn't it be funny if someone did an Aladdin AU? DON'T DO IT." "Okay," I said, and proceeded to write the following.

Thanks to her and lkgycze for the amazing beta work, as well as fielding many panicked e-mails and basically keeping me sane for the last four months.

Comments and concrit loved and appreciated!

This might be the schmoopiest thing I've ever written. I came up with it on the way home from classes, because it's freezing outside and I can't stop listening to chick flick soundtracks. Totally unbetaed, because it's only like 1500 words.

Title: Sole Unquiet Thing
Author: paraserpiente
Pairing: Brendon/Spencer, gencuddles!
Rating: G
Summary: Snowball fights. Cuddles. That is all.
Notes: Not mine. Title from the Coleridge poem "Frost at Midnight".

( It’s a rare day off, no techs rapping at their door or reporters calling about song titles, so of course it’s the day Brendon wakes Spencer just as the pre-dawn light filters under the blinds. )

In honor of wow_katie's birthday yesterday, I thought I'd post a snippet of the silly, silly fic I've been working on. Because she rocks, and because much of this was conceived in our endless emails back and forth this summer.

( Unbetaed FUTURISTIC DYSTOPIAN ALADDIN AU! )

LOVE YOU KDAHL

Okay, so apparently wow_katie wants me to give her my firstborn child, because she sent me the world's most AMAZING fanmix. Seriously. It is AWESOME and you should all download it and tell her how hard she rocks.

The following is the commentary on the mix, in her own words, as well as the link.

Seriously, KDahl, I don't deserve you.

Title: Brush the Sky
Author: paraserpiente
Rating: R
Pairing: Panic GSF (and permutations thereof), Pete/Patrick, Greta/Vicky-T, Cobrapiles, others
POV: Third
Summary: He holds a hand out gingerly. “Ry? Ryan? I’m Pete. Peter Wentz. I’m thinkin’ of maybe starting a venture—everything aboveground, you understand, none of this speakeasy business—and I’m thinkin’ I need some musical entertainment.” 1920s Chicago maybe isn't the easiest to survive, but Pete and the band have a few ideas.
Disclaimer: Not mine, not real, never met 'em.
Author Notes: A thousand thank-yous to the AMAZING wow_katie, who betaed this monster. Twice. And then wanted to make a fanmix. Also thanks to Veronica, who said "Oooh, Greta and Vicky-T should do pairs!", and to my musical genius baby brother, who fielded questions like "What did they call whores in the '20s? Can you have bass in a jazz quartet?" They are all AMAZING PEOPLE.

Also, just as a warning: things I know about the '20s include Fitzgerald and bad anime interpretations, and not more. SORRY HISTORY BUFFS D:

Enjoy!
