Come hither, come hither!

This is the directory of all the slash I have written by myself or with a co-write buddy (I being arctic_grey). Under the cut you will find everything with a short description as well as some additional commentary from me. The stories are in chronological order, and I'd like to think that some development is visible. I have enjoyed writing every one of these and they are all dear to me, and I hope that you'll enjoy reading them.

Stories of boys
who stomped their feet, saying,
"Shut- shut up!
I am dreaming of places
where lovers have wings."
( Gimme fiction )

No one is writing me the canon angst I want, so I wrote it myself. Inspiration found here with a whole dash of drama added by yours truly. Unbetaed. PG-13. Gen, Jon/Cassie. 857 words.

( The day starts out well. )

Title: You Gotta Dance With Who You Came With
Author: arctic_grey
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Ryan/Brendon
POV: 3rd, Brendon’s
Summary: Brendon forgot about the prom but decides that it’s a rite of passage he cannot miss, and Ryan acts like the bitch that he is, only not really.
Disclaimer: Not real. Title belongs to my bud Craig Finn.
Author Notes: This was written for the rydenrevival of epic love, so have some schmoopy schmoopiness! Thanks to ivesia19 for taking a look at this for me, and thanks to spazzyskittles for betaing! <3 p.s. I am also currently looking for a beta for a motorcycle gang!fic (as we call it). If you're interested, go here. Thanks! :)

( It is hardly a surprise that he hasn’t had any time to even consider the P word, especially lately when all he can think about is this stupid boy who can play guitar really well. )

Title: And I Drew a Heart on Your Window (With My Blood)
Author: arctic_grey
Rating: R-ish
Pairing: Jon/Spencer (+ others mentioned)
POV: 3rd
Summary: “I miss Panic, man,” Jon admits. “It’s like you’ve got this new thing now, and I don’t really have anything to do. I think I was happier when I was in the band.” He takes a deep breath. “So look, is it okay if I go back? If I rejoin Spencer and Brendon?”
Disclaimer: This is not real, but I for one believe it to be an accurate description of the boys’ daily lives. For realz.

Author Notes:
This story is my attempt at a wedding present for holycloud and severaldaysago. First of all, congratulations! (I know I’m a bit early, but I figured you two would be sorta busy on The Big Day!) If I had the money, I would hire Patrick to do an acoustic set at the reception. I wish you two all the happiness in the world. <3

Now holycloud is an avid Jon/Spencer girl, and she has expressed her desire for Jon to leave The Young Veins and rejoin Panic!, so I decided to make that happen in fiction if not in the real world. (I don’t have the money to bribe Jon to actually do it.) And since this is for her wedding, I decided not to make this canon depressing in any way. So canon comedy it is! And not to forget the groom either, I threw in some Pete/Patrick references for severaldaysago. Oh, and then I ended up adding in some Brendon/Ryan for ivesia19, who had to hold my hand very tightly, so thank you for all your help!

Thanks to justranda, fond_ofyou and babycomeback2me for throwing in their ideas! And ivesia19 figured out the entire Love, Actually card spoof, so all credit goes to her. *worships her brain* Lastly, thanks to spazzyskittles for the beta!

Most importantly, congratulations holycloud andseveraldaysago. I hope you two get to where you are going, because you, if anyone, deserve to get there. <3

And without further ado, this is the story where Ryan wants to become a male midwife, Jon decides to go camping in a totally non-gay way, Brendon acts like a 5-year-old with a Disney obsession because that never gets old, Pete never stopped harassing Patrick (or anyone else for that matter), and Spencer Smith is pissed the fuck off.

p.s. Sacred Entrance Midwifery Services do exist and are located in LA, but unlike in the story, they don’t actually train midwives. I don’t think so, anyway.
p.p.s. Kudos if you spot the ever so slight WHY? rip off – it made for a good start.


( “I miss Panic, man,” Jon admits. )

Hey!

This is just a quick note to let you guys know that this journal isn't dead and will continue being in use. I needed to take some time after the split because I was upset, but I am better now and still want to write about Ryan Ross sucking cock like it's all he lives for. Some things never change! I am working on one long story, which won't see sunlight anytime soon, but I plan on posting something shorter in a few weeks' time. Also the split happened right after I posted Preordained and, because of the upheaval, I never replied to the majority of the comments, so sorry about that too.

Slash will continue being posted. WATCH THIS SPACE. Yes, you stay there until a new story appears. No food, no toilet breaks. No nothing. Tough luck, bitch.

Just kidding, go on with your bad self and do something fabulous.

Much love,
Everyone at BN Inc.

Title: Preordained
Author: arctic_grey
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Jon/Spencer (Ryan/Brendon, Pete/Patrick)
POV: 3rd, Jon’s
Word count: 32,000
Summary: Superpower!AU. Jon doesn’t see the future. He sees scenarios of what might be, and sometimes it’s difficult to differentiate between dreams and visions. But he knows that he is going to meet a guy. Jon knows nothing of him, but he knows the way the guy will make him feel, and even if it was just a blurred vision, Jon knows he’s never felt anything like it.
Disclaimer: Pete Wentz is alive, and Jon Walker - godly though he may be - cannot actually see the future. Therefore I must conclude that this is not real.
Beta: the wonderful spazzyskittles. Thank you! <3
Dedication: This story is dedicated to Roger Federer’s victory at Wimbledon tomorrow.
Author Notes: Thanks to _sugar for her support and feedback, thanks to holycloud for bouncing back ideas and for being such an amazing cheerleader, and lastly thanks to st_andrews_fall for the onion and the encouragement. Yup, the onion. This story wouldn’t have been written or finished without any of you. <3 Lastly, I fully admit that I started working on this story after seeing Watchmen and a whole bunch of Heroes episodes, so thanks for the inspiration.

( If something was ever to happen to any of them, it’d be in battle or they’d get attacked or ambushed, but not here or now when it’s just a normal Friday night with civilians around them. )

Title: To Be Alone with the Freedom (Bandom Big Bang fic)
Author: arctic_grey
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Jon/Spencer
POV: 3rd, Jon’s
Summary:

“If you get angry with your slave, you can kill him. But if you touch a puer, the expensive toy of a senator, it’s you who is going to get killed.”

Roman-esque slave!AU. Jon, a scribe, is called upon one of the city’s wealthiest men to train his pueri – boys raised to become pets for prestigious upper class men.
Against his better judgement, Jon begins to develop feelings for one of them.

The long ass disclaimer of doom: I am not a Roman historian and this story does not attempt to accurately depict Roman society. It is more of an alternative universe with strong social, political and cultural structures to Ancient Rome. Therefore I hope those more well-informed than I will bear with me if they spot any inaccuracies. The concept of the “pueri” is fictional, though sex between boys and older men was accepted in pre-Christian Roman society and slavery was an integral part of life. None of this is real, none of this has ever happened because Panic at the Disco boys do not go prancing around in togas, now do they? The title belongs to Dan Bejar.

Author Notes: Thanks to my precious testing audience _sugar, babycomeback2me, Maud, 66 and lastly justranda, who also betaed this. You all helped me when I was stuck, inspired me and kept me going. Thank you all for your work and effort. <3

Fanart: Birds are crying out and circling above the turquoise waves, and the spring wind blows in Jon’s hair. He has come a long, long way to see this. Sometimes you have to go a long way to see something you have never seen before. by misermob

Title: The Years Won’t See It (The Way I Want Them To)
Author: arctic_grey
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: baby!Brendon/future!Brendon, Brendon/Ryan
POV: 3rd, Brendon’s
Summary: The stranger, who looks exactly like Brendon except older, moves restlessly, knees bouncing. “I’m you, get it? I am you. Five years from now.”
Disclaimer: Time travel is lonely isn’t real. Therefore this isn’t real. Title belongs to Roddy Woomble.
Author Notes: I’ve wanted to do a timetravel!fic for so long. Then I realised that it didn’t necessarily have to be a PWP (though someone might feel like this is, in which case kudos me! *pats own shoulder*), and this fic happened. Thanks to spazzyskittles for betaing and babycomeback2me for advice. <3 Here, have my attempt at dipping my toe in the canon sauce. Canon river. Canon... ocean? Also, this song gave this fic its title and moulded the themes and moods. Good, good song.

The Homesick
by arctic_grey
Ryan/Brendon, Jon/Spencer (+ others)
48,500 words
Overall NC-17, 3rd POV

Summary: British-University!AU. They had it figured out, the three of them. At least for another year. But when William moves out, the guys have to find a new flatmate. Brendon is trying to save the world, Ryan is trying to get his academic career rolling, Jon is trying not to crush on a straight guy, and Spencer is trying get back home.
Disclaimer: Clearly this isn’t real.
Warnings: threesome, double-penetration and felching somewhere in the midst of personal growth and development.

Thanks to spazzyskittles for advice and betaing, thanks to _sugar and justranda for their support and handholding, thanks to fuelledbydecay for the Welsh, spasiba to catrien for the Russian, and thanks to The Big Jurassic Tree, who is now the Grandmother Willow from Pocahontas by a River in the Mountains with Condors Sporadically Flying Above It. Uh... did I get that right? In any case, thank you for your support, feedback and the scientific jargon. <3

Be sure to check the notes for any slang etc. that you're not familiar with.
