Okay people, if you're not already reading this WIP on KMM you really should be. I was going to wait til it got further to rec it, and perhaps I ought to do so, but I have SO MANY ~FEELINGS about it right now, I can't help myself.
IN ADDITION: *bangs head against wall*
I've listened to the music. I've watched the interviews. I SAW THE BEYOND-ADORABLE HALLOWEEN MUSIC VIDEO. And I've... I've read a few Panic! at the Disco fics. It's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
likeaglass's fault completely (she happily accepted blame already). But yeah, now I'm asking PATD fans on my flist to rec some fics (or rec posts/archives/etc.) for me as I slowly make a little room for myself in this fandom.
And. And I'm going to their show again -- September 1st at Central Park's Rumsey Playfield -- withstarsparkle333 and whoever else I know that's going. IT'S A 900-PERSON CAPACITY VENUE! I DON'T KNOW, OKAY, I FIGURED OUT WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THEIR STUFF AND BDEN'S JUST SO PRETTY AND CHARISMATIC AND HIS VOICE IS FUCKING AMAZING. (Oh god, I really like hearing acoustic versions of their stuff.) AND THEY'RE JUST SO ADORBZ WITH THEIR ANTICS AND THEIR FRIENDSHIP AND THEIR MUSIC. WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS?
WHY AM I LIKE THIS?
So, you know, feel free to send help.
Arthur and Merlin both have visions of their happily-married future, but they don't even like each other currently, even if they have the same group of friends.
Ugh, this is why visions of the future are so shitty. It's like reading spoilers for your own life! Now that you've got a hint about what's going to happen, you find yourself noticing things you might not have noticed, having reactions you might not have had. IT'S ALL RUINED.
(If simply observing something changes it, then what, then, becomes of us when we have knowledge of our own future?!)
Without spoiling anything for those who might be interested in this, I will say that I'm loving author-anon's choice to stick to Arthur-POV only -- even though I'm dying to know what's going on in Merlin's mind about all this. I'm finding it very interesting to speculate and worry about all the possibilities, just like Arthur must be doing.
OH BOYS. You can't resist making things difficult for yourselves, can you?

Um... all I can offer you by way of recs is my delicious account.
http://www.delicious.com/fiarra/band%3Apatd
It's currently skewed towards about 3 authors since I haven't read very many fics yet?
There is this as well:

Ahahaha when I made this post I thought "...damn, I'm going to need a PATD icon now, won't I?" /o\
Share all the fic!
An FYI - when I recommend an author I'm usually giving a thumbs up to all of his/her work, but I'm just really fond of the one or two I've pointed out.
Sunsetmog's HS AU series: starts with You Can Sit Besides Me When the World Comes Down, with the sequel Running in Slow Motion. I'd also highly recommend a parallel story in the same universe, which should be read before Running in Slow Motion, L.O.V.E., with Ashley Simpson and always-a-girl Pete Wentz (my one quibble with L.O.V.E. would be the author's decision to do a gender swap for a women in bandom fic).
There Ain't No Cure for Love by
Hard to Believe in Sundays by
Just because, drummer love! Songs About Hips and Hearts, Bob/Spencer crossover. A short, cute AU where Spencer is a drum teacher in Bob's music store.
To hit all your supernatural fic buttons, Feels Like You Don't Have a Body. Brendon/Spencer . Vampires, werewolves, and death. Not dire and dark, though.
An Echo in So Much Space Fandom loves its fucked up Brendon almost as much as it loves its fucked up Ryan. Also by the same author: Light Never Shines as Brightly as the Movies. Amateur porn-star Brendon and a fanboy Spencer.
What I think might be my favorite Panic fic and one of my favorite fics ever: Let Each Who is Worthy. Where Brendon never met up with Jon and Spencer during HS. Long, angsty, hot as hell.
Please read everything by
Okay, I'm done. Enjoy! :)
Re: Share all the fic!
I am basically flailing into this fandom and will likely grasp onto others in an attempt to find my balance.
Anyway, I actually meant to link to the Halloween vid in the post but it was late and I forgot... =/
IT IS ACTUALFAX THE CUTEST THING EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I absolutely CAN'T STAND how adorbz it is. LASJDFLJASL;FJSALFJS And despite the fact that I'm really not a fan of Pretty.Odd. (because UGH, I get so easily bored with the Beatles and 60s psychedelic pop like you wouldn't believe), I love the catchy tune and the contrast of Bden and Ryan's voices and IT'S JUST SO DAMN CATCHY.
You should come to the show on September 1st at Central Park! Besides me, a whole bunch of lj fangirls will be there, so you won't be alone! <3
(oooh, sorry, long reply is long...)

Re: Share all the fic!
a fewmore names. But don't let lack of familiarity with bands stop you from reading, particularly if it's by an author who's been work you enjoy. I usually make a google search of unfamiliar names to get some background and go on with my reading. Trust good authors to show you the way.That video was cute, but it underlines why I never picked up Pretty.Odd. Brendon's voice is spectacular, and Ryan's is...not so much. But I love Ryan's way with words. No good ever comes of songwriters wanting vocal credit on albums (see System of a Down); it's akin to trial separation and/or marriage counseling in that by the time you're at that point you might as well start dividing assets and holding down a lawyer. And, like you said, the throwback to the sound of the 60's wasn't working for me. But Fever? Remains my jam.
If you're looking for fic recs, don't even hesitate to ask. I tend to like long stories myself.
You should come to the show on September 1st at Central Park!
I have tentative plans to head down to Dragon-Con this year. If that falls through, though, I'd definitely going to join you guys. Thanks for the invite. :)

If you're looking for anything specific (genres, types of AUs, kinks, etc.), let me know. I'm sure I can dig up some specific recs if you are.
And all of you guys talking about going to this Central Park show are really making me want to be there! Why does September 1st have to be a Thursday?! :\
