turpsI've finished reading the bandom exchange stories, and below are some I liked.
Artwork for the bandom holiday exchange. Three Stumporta pieces. I enjoyed these, especially the second one.
Patrick is a little shit. I enjoyed reading this, it seemed like a more real and mature side of FOB, with the practicalities of travelling and having friendships that are important but also means time apart at times.
The Fine Line Between. A Patrick/Pete AU that was really nicely written.
Epicuros -- It's Lindsey's first art show. It seems simple enough, but gains layers when you read Lindsey is an android.
In the Wake. Mikey/Pete, one-sided Pete/Patrick. I came so close to insta reccing this after I finished reading. I love Mikey/Pete stories, you'll know this. The summer, the water-parks and happy endings. But I also like stories like this, that are awkward and painful to read at times and seem so very real.
Burning Bright. This is the kind of MCR AU I miss reading. Frank is a new firefighter transferring to Mikey and Ray's station and ends up with Gerard. But it's so much more than that. I loved Frank, and Mikey, and Ray and everything and it had such lovely Way bros moments, too.
Making Service Matter. Mikey/Pete where they work in a Game Stop. It all feels very real and has some lovely writing.
And of course the one for me.
If you haven't yet and it's your kind of thing you should check out the exchange, there's lots of good stuff there.
MTYG next as they have a later author reveal date. So, as James is at work on night shift that means fic, dw/lj catch-up, a long bath, and then more eps of Lucifer.

making service matter is so viscerally lovely.
i haven't caught up with the rest, but i need to, considering i'm...doing mostly nothing in the meantime.

Well, doing nothing is what you should be doing and resting up. Saying that, I hope you're feeling okay.
