Damage Report

Title: Fairytale of New York
Summary: for the bandomrarepair challenge; stuck in New York over the holidays, there's nowhere Joe can go to escape Pete's attempts at matchmaking.
Author: icedmaple
Betas: supercasio; likethepaint was involved in the early stages.
Rating: PG for language.
Pairing: Joe/Patrick
Words: c. 11,300
Author's notes: I have a confession to make. I started this fic on NYE 2008/9, based on a prompt generator. I only wrote a couple of thousand words at the time and decided to continue it for this challenge. As a result, it's 2009 AU. Joe never moved to New York with Marie and the break hasn't begun, yet.

Title: Thnks fr th Knckrs
Summary: for the sosodirty kinkathon; prompt: panties.
Author: icedmaple
Betas: heyginger, untelling, likethepaint & shiny_starlight at various points; with special sizing, locale and awesomeness assistance from riotingofspring (even though most of it was cut). Thanks also to delustre for being available in my hour of need.
Rating: R
Pairing: Joe/Patrick
Words: c. 12,000
Author's notes: Stretching the boundaries of my general style on this one; all IM typos are the boys' and the events at the first two shows are based on genuine events (see: thnksfrthknkrs). What happened afterward, is to the best of my knowledge entirely untrue.

This fic was just too long to be a single post, so I've divided it more or less in the middle - it's around 12,000 words in total.

Title: In Between Arms
Summary: In retrospect, Peter could see that the beginning of their quirky, out-of-balance friendship was already the beginning of the end.
Author: alfirin_kirinki
Betas: shiny_starlight; someone who wishes to go unnamed, but deserves a mention for putting up with it and musictoyourlips
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump; AU. OhyesIdid.
Words: c. 9,100
Written for: spooningxcore; Historical Ficathon, prompt #3 – "Time Period # 3: 1920-1960"
Disclaimer: Yeah, so, uh – they weren't even born six decades ago.
Author's Notes: A lot of the historical references in this fic tie-in the phenomenal mini-series Band of Brothers, but it is in no way a cross-over as the actual military operations mentioned were genuine actions of the 502nd PIR, sister regiment to the legendary 506th.

This is very much a case of 'if they'd lived in the 40s' rather than 'Fall Out Boy go back to the 40s': getting these kids to sound like themselves while using 1940s terminology is just plain obnoxious. I hope I managed it, and, if it helps, I found myself picturing Grand Theft Autumn-vid Patrick when writing this. I also thought it would be really fun to have Patrick doing one of the things he's sworn he'd never have the nerve to do in real life.

I also want to give a special credit to lovelyloveleave because her fic quite literally put the Sunshine in mine.
