Reading Wednesday: freak out mode

[laceblade]

• What are you currently reading?
I've still been carrying around Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel García Márquez. idk. I don't really like it? But I keep reading it? It's a thing that's been happening, I think mostly because I'm too distracted to commit to anything else.

• What did you recently finish reading?
UMM SO I STARTED READING FALL OUT BOY FIC & IT IS were_duck's FAULT.

I read this Fall Out Boy primer. THE PICTURES OF PETE WENTZ'S DOG ARE THE BEST but also everything omggggg

Also this Pete & Patrick picspam.

Cross-Country by inlovewithnight - MY FIRST BANDOM FIC. Regarding the 10-year friendship of Andy & Pete. <3 <3 <3 I always feel this huge attachment to drummers b/c they're overlooked & also b/c I played drums & still incessantly tap things.

So, So Fucked by reni_days - Pete/PStump. Pete accidentally "outs" himself and Patrick on Good Morning America. Only problem? They're not gay. What now?
UGGGHHHH SO MANY FEELINGS JFC, this is the one I capslocked about on Twitter.

(I've Loved) Everything About You That Hurts by reni_days - There are parts of Pete that will always belong to Patrick. Set when the band was on hiatus.

This Seed Burst and Grown by Sena - Nobody's in a band, but Pete and Patrick meet in the Chicago music scene, anyway. Patrick's sixteen and mostly innocent and kind of confused and Pete's older and cooler and fucked up in ways that just make Patrick like him more. (NSFW)

run for ur life & take all that u can. xo. by lalejandra - SO IN THIS ONE THEY ARE WEREWOLVES?! Also bonus were_duck cameo that made me really excited.

Document by azurejay - The one where Patrick is not a girl.
This is my hands-down favorite fic in the fandom so far. Everybody felt so real, & I spent time hating everyone but just UGH SO GOOD.
Trigger warning for attempted suicide. I ah, really would have appreciated a warning for that :(

rather fight with you by longtime_lurker - Pete/Patrick outside the van. I liked this but also felt uncomfortable the whole time BECAUSE ANDY AND JOE WERE IN THE VAN?!

Chord Change by giddygeek

Patricksitting (call it a love song) by adellyna - So Pete looks after Patrick while Patrick's parents are out of town. Underage. Unf. OMG going to look for the link, I realized this is three parts SO THERE'S MORE!! /deep cackle/

• What do you think you’ll read next?
Well, if the past two days are any indication, about a billion WisCon emails.

Oh, wow. I just re-read all of those fics, and it's like I got thrown into some sort of time-tunnel and emerged in the midst of all my bandom feels.

YASSSSS SO MANY FEELS.
ps I am accepting recs. I do have A LOT of recs from were_duck to work through, though, bahaha.

[liseuse]

I expect that any recs I give will mostly be duplicates, but I am more than happy to e-mail you! (Or; I started typing a massive list out, and the html coding got too much.)

[were_duck]

OMG can you copy me on those emails? I have actually read very little FOB fic and am working my way through some peoples' Pinboard recs--would love to see yours!!!!!

[liseuse]

I can do! I'm not sure how much FOB fic I have memoried, but I am sure that I have a lot more than I think. IT IS LIKE I HAVE FALLEN INTO A TIMEWARP, AND I AM LOVING IT.
