ETA: Knew I forgot something. A long time ago there was a sort of unofficial flash challenge to write bandom people with superheroes. I wrote Caged, a story where MCR end up in a cage and Spiderman saves them. Hey, it could happen! Anyway, reena_jenkins has pod ficced the story and you can download it right here.

Bandom reverse big bang started posting today, which means I failed in my plan to catch up on the no_tags and stuffsit stories I still have to read. Still, I'll keep plugging away and one day I'll clear all my tabs -- probably in 2022 or something.

Fannish things I've enjoyed recently include the pictures of Mikey and Ray at Disneyland and of course the stalker vibe video of the band going out to eat. Which no lie, delights me, especially ( this part )

His smiley face, his crinkly eyes. So much love, though getting the code did mean I lost a minute or two at MWD's photobucket animated gifs page.

When I was making my attempt to read all my tabbed stories I started to make a note of the ones I really liked. In a comment I called it channelling turlough just for pairings she won't read. But I was then informed that in that case I wouldn't be channelling Turlough at all, because Turlough is mean like that. So, this is me taking a leaf out of her book instead, just you know, much less organised and with sketchy descriptions of why you should read.

I Bet You Thought I Was Soft and Sweet Adam Lambert/Mikey. I wasn't sure about reading this as all I know about Adam I've learned through my flist. But this is a really great take on Mikey. Especially this. Adam watches him walk out of the kitchen and it kind hits him in the gut; Mikey spent the entire party in his brother's orbit, and in Adam's, but it definitely wasn't from insecurity or reticence, Mikey's happy not to be right in the centre, doesn't need people to acknowledge him, praise him, whatever, he just is, and he goes where he knows he fits and can be like he wants to be.

The Secret of My Success by romantical Dallon/Gabe. The dialogue in this is great, and while I never thought of Gabe/Dallon before, it works.

Edcysiastby inlovewithnight. In my comment there I said this is one of the hottest things I've read for a while. Mikey needing to get so close to Gerard. Gah. I love it.

Glitter in the Air by xoxxblitz7 A very cute and lovely story where Pete is jealous of the glitterbass, as well he should be! I really like Pete and Mikey in this.

Bridging the Gap by art_brutal Bob/Mikey. This is a picfor1000 story and I'm well aware of how difficult it is to tell a story in such a small and exact amount of words. I like that while Bob saves Mikey in this, Mikey in no means is a pushover. Plus, as I didn't read tabs it had a twist I didn't expect.

Human Behavior by Lucifuge5 -- a story about a 17 year old Mikey and cross-dressing. You know I had that baby tabbed as soon as I saw the link. This is a really lovely read, and Mikey's feelings are shown so well. He's that mix of young and old, sure and unsure, but all the time knowing what he wants. I loved this a lot.

Bones to the Side by akamine_chan. Gen. The story where Ray meets a sharkopus. It's all kinds of awesome and made me smile a lot. Also, check out the art that inspired the story.

The Rules of the Internet by kopperblaze Frank/Mikey. This is cheating a little as I was able to read along with that as it was being written. Still, it remains a fantastic story. I love her Frank voice especially and how the two of them meet and eventually come together. It's just a lovely, feel-good story that I rec strongly.
