My friends are awesome (bandom edition)

Seriously, my friends are awesome and write fic that makes me happy. Sometimes, inexplicably, they give me cowriting credit even though I am convinced that these stories are made entirely of their own awesomeness. But in the interest of pimping/shameless self-promotion (choose your own ego adventure) and just in case you guys missed them:

Jane St Clair (3jane) wrote "Leaving You Alone With Me", which is the bestest bedtime story ever. True Love! No sadness whatsoever! Marriage happy lesbians! Patrick and Pete get married and it makes me grin so much because you guys, there's *legal documents*. And Joe! Andy delivers a safe sex lecture involving respect and lube! Also, there is music!

And this second one has been out for a while, but you know. It makes me happy! So I point you guys at it just in case!

Anna's (annavtree) story, "Neither Advice Nor Reason", is Summer of Like and Patrick/Gerard and there is talk of swing drumming and Bob and the Ways are Way-like and Andy delivers a safe sex lecture involving fruity condoms. I was the meanest beta in the world and annavtree has the patience of a saint for not killing me after round three of, "But *why*?"

So yes, you know what other stories people should write? Stories involving Bob. Bob Bob Bob. I need a Bob icon. But I mean, he's so Bob-like! He loves his crazy bandmates! He and Patrick lived together for a summer! He sings terrible songs about how Gerard makes his heart burn!

I need to stop letting the sad tragical stories take root in my head and just write happy comedy fic where people make out a lot. Or I should totally just keep trying to convince other people to write happy stories with lots of making out for me.

T-minus 7 days until the Weekend of Geekery and possibly stalking Gerard Way.
