Betas: shiny_starlight, shinko, likethepaint, satsuma_grove, omgimnaked and ashe_frost all did varying degrees of hand-holding for this fic. I can't thank them enough.
Rating: Pushing R. Possibly.
Pairing: Joe/Patrick, Pete/Patrick, implied Pete/Ashlee.
Words: c.27,300.
Author's notes: This is a fic set at the end of the European Spring Tour and heading into HCT, where it breaks off and becomes an AU timeline.

The title of this fic, and the quote, come from a track by Skunk Anansie. In a bizarre twist (this was not intentional at all), they have a track perfect for each of the boys in this fic's POV:

Secretly [Joe] | Hedonism [Patrick] | Brazen [Pete]

This is a LONG fic. Sit comfortably.


Disclaimer: I really hope this isn't even slightly real, for the sake of the people involved in it...

Prompt:
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

NOTE: Don't go looking for this quote in the text. You won't find a literal interpretation.
