turpsOne of my cats caught a mouse yesterday morning, which is disturbing as they're inside cats.
Today is rainy and windy and horrible so I'm staying in, and trying to fix our washer that's stopped working for some reason.

Top 5 bandom crossovers you'd like to read (or write
I blame Sperrywink and Arsenic for this but Bandom/Criminal Minds. I now share the personal canon that Ryan is related to Spencer Reid in some way. It makes so much sense and I want so many stories of them interacting. The problem is of course, the CM team works on pretty nasty crimes, so that would put the bandom people in danger in some way. Wait, what am I saying? This is not a problem at all! Oh, and now I'm flashing on some MCR/CM cross from early days and there's a crime that means the team have to go search the Way house and we'd have Morgan all frowny as he examined the creepy dolls and Reid would be standing in the pit of the basement and looking at all the gruesome drawings and Garcia would hack the computer and they're end up with a profile that stated that the younger brother is some kind of mini bootlegger while the older is a gore obsessed loner who writes Planet of the Apes fanfic.
Bandom/CSI. Simply because I want Mikey and Greg to get in on so badly. I had a master plan to get Sperrywink to write me that pairing, complete with car crashes, amnesia, nursing back to health and lots of skinny, music obsessed boys having sex. Sadly that plan failed, which is okay as she's down with the pairing too, so one day. One day you'll be mine. Though maybe without the car crashes and amnesia.
Bandom/Popslash. Mikey and Chris share a few friends. The connection is there. They can totally meet up one day and end up having hot sex, maybe on Chris' silver space bull with red eyes! Of course if that does happen I may explode with sheer glee.
Bamdom/X Men. I know there's a few out there already but I love super hero stories like burning. People with powers are awesome. I have vague memories of actually writing something like that back in the day. Gah, what the hell was it? I'm thinking it was really early as I'm sure it was a pop/bandom ficlet and I only tended to write those when I was easing into bandom. Anyway, I would love to try a full length story. One where they don't actually want to be super heroes, they just fall into it by accident. Then there would be action and adventure and people almost getting killed and cages and kidnappings and all sorts of good stuff.
Bandom/Anita Blake. I'm not sure if that would be a re cast or an actual crossover. All I do know is Nathaniel would end up in a hot, hot, orgy with all the bandom guys at some point.
Top 5 people you'd like to have lunch with (limit 1 per band - hahaha)>
That's pretty easy. Mikey, Pete, Ryan, Alex and Chris from Nsync. It's a band, it counts.
And wow, that would be a lunch that's made for amazing memories.
5 things Donna (or Dad) thought about Gerard & Mikey
Donna's pouring cereal into a bowl when Gerard comes upstairs.
Usually he stumbles into view, yawning as he make a bee-line for his first cup of coffee. Today he's walks in with a tap of heels and an air of expectation Donna feels before she even turns. When she does her hand slips, little Os falling onto the counter. It takes a moment for her words to catch up with her whirling thoughts the fuck? dress, is he gay a transvestite, a joke? still Gerard, this is fine and Donna sweeps up the spilt cereal, says simply, "You've got something to tell me?"
Gerard's a picture of defiance, chin up and tensed as he says, "It's a social experiment."
"Okay," Donna says, and places the bowl of cereal onto the table.
"You should have worn the black like I said," Mikey says, grabbing the bowl. Pouring on milk he starts to eat, obviously finished with the conversation.
Unable to resist, Donna ruffles his hair, or tries to, her red-painted nails catching against hair made stiff by lacquer. She looks over at Gerard. "Are you going out like that?"
Gerard nods and Donna thinks about her closet, mentally measuring clothes against Gerard. "I've a coat you can wear, it'll finish the outfit."
"Thanks." Gerard relaxes, smiling a little and his heels clip against the lino as he walks to the table, sits with his legs spread wide, the dress he's chosen riding high up his thighs as he takes a spoon and starts to eat out of Mikey's bowl.
Donna goes to get more cereal, her back to the table so they don't see her smile. Her boys are weird, there's no doubt about that, but she wouldn't have them any other way.
~*~*~*~
Gerard's Donna's first born, her perfect boy, her shining star.
She displays pictures on her wall and keeps mementos in a drawer. His first tooth, hair from his first hair cut, a stick figured drawing on paper made brittle with age. They're the tangible memories, the ones that run alongside the ones in her head. Gerard's first smile, his first steps, the way he looked as he first sounded her name.
She's got a life time of firsts and she picks over each one, her love deep and endless for her beautiful son.
In unguarded moments she's also got a last.
It's why Donna's hands shake as she lights a cigarettes, stands outside as she remembers slurred words and manic laughter, her boy hurtling toward an inevitable painful end.
A gleaming casket and the heavy scent of flowers, the sound of weeping mingling with Gerard's favourite songs.
It's not a memory, but it feels like an inevitability, and already Donna's heart is breaking.
~*~*~*~
Donna loves that her boys are so close.
They're best friends as well as brothers and she knows that'll never change.
She just wishes the sometimes Mikey didn't always have to follow his brother. Which is unfair, because Donna knows Mikey's issues aren't the same as Gerard's. He's his own person with his own problems and his own way of dealing.
It's just.
Donna's heart is already fractured from almost losing one son.
If she loses Mikey it'll be completely broken.
~*~*~*~
Donna's never seen her sons wait at the end of an aisle. Never seen them dressed in finery as they stumble over their vows.
In her most honest of moments she admits to herself that she mourns that loss. The chance to dress up in her own finery, extra high heels and hair teased to new heights, a new outfit becoming the mother of the groom as she sat in a church decorated with ribbon and flowers.
But in reality Donna knows that scene would never have happened. It was never for Gerard and Mikey, it was never for her.
Donna's boys are special. They follow their own path and Donna will always cheer them on. She always has, she always will. Especially when that path leads her to the scene before her. When she walks into a hospital room and finds Lindsey sleeping, Gerard and Mikey sitting on a tiny sofa, Gerard's head on Mikey's shoulder as Mikey cradles Bandit against his chest. Father. Uncle. Daughter.
It's moments like these that prove that the traditional isn't needed. That as clichéd as it is, all you do need is love -- and her family has plenty of that.
~*~*~*~
Donna likes to watch My Chem's shows.
Not all of them, but enough that she knows how to find them on You Tube or even better, standing at the side of the stage.
Ear plugs in and clasping her purse she listens to the crowd and watches Mikey rock out with his bass, finally content in his own skin, Gerard stand at the edge of the stage, arms outstretched and singing his message.
Donna knows they were born to do this, and the hard road they've travelled has only made them stronger.
They're Donna's babies, her boys and she's so proud she could burst.

Date: 2010-08-29 01:27 pm (UTC)And Mikey/Greg would be delicious! First I have to finish the Brendon/Greg though. Someday, sigh. (And maybe I will throw in a little amnesia for you. Probably not car crashes, though. *g*)
OMG! Your Donna snippets are amazing! How she loves both of them so fiercely and they break her heart, but also make her so proud. Sniffles.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 01:42 pm (UTC)I could make like a chaptered writer and have scenes 3a etc, with a nice little note saying if you don't want to read about Ryan being tortured pass on by, it won't affect the story.
Then I could start calling them chappies and posting at those other comms.
But there needs to be some kind of traumatic event for amnesia! Can he be hit by a bus?
Thank you! It had to be horrific to sit and watch the both of them self destruct as they did.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 01:48 pm (UTC)Chappies! Ahahahha!
Hit by a bus, omg! You are nutty! I'm thinking he gets found all beaten up and roughed up, but he has amnesia so the CSIs need to do work to find out what happened. And Greg gets the duties of trying to befriend Mikey and see how much he can offer them for assistance. And they grow close together, but Greg has to keep reminding himself that this is a victim, not a hook-up.
They both wonder if it is a real connection or if things will change when Mikey gets his memory back. And other stuff happens that I haven't worked out yet. *g*
And you showed so beautifully how it must have been for her. Totally broke my heart, no lie.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 02:44 pm (UTC)I NEED THAT STORY IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW!
To clarify, the one you said you'd write not the one I would write.
but Greg has to keep reminding himself that this is a victim, not a hook-up.
Eeeeeeeeeeee! That would work so incredibly well.
But I have to say that getting hit by a bus is a perfectly valid reason to get amnesia!
Some sap, some torture. I guess it could work. So who's in this hypothetical story anyway? Gimme details! If Ryan is getting tortured does that mean Spencer is going insane so to comfort him Brendon sexes him up?
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 03:08 pm (UTC)Okay, the bus thing is true, but it is so uninteresting unless it is being driven by an evil bomber Dennis Hopper. *g*
No, he needs to be mistaken for a mob guy or be gay-bashed because of Gerard and Frank kissing or something. I haven't thought of the perfect scenario yet.
That sounds good! Except maybe Brendon and Spencer hook up accidentally. You know how affectionate Brendon is and he is just hugging Spencer and comforting him and then it just gets out of control. But Brendon knows it is just because of Ryan, even though it breaks his heart because he has loved Spencer *forever*.
And then Brendon goes missing and Spencer begins to realize that the thread linking everybody together is him, and we discover the Unsub has a vicious crush on Spencer so want s to isolate him so he can have him all to himself! (I like obsession, sue me.)
(edit: oops, wrong place, but you know where it belongs).
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 03:25 pm (UTC)Anyway, screw buses if he can be gay-bashed. ( and now I'm thinking of Fanny Packing and poor Greg getting his head slammed on the ground. They are meant to be together! )
I can see that happening. Spencer so upset and Brendon's sort of petting him and rubbing his back, and Spencer's so tense and Brendon reacts in his instinctive way to get even closer and Spencer turns his head and Brendon's right there and next thing they're both kissing madly and Brendon just goes with it, and it's so horribly bad ficcy but I want Brendon to notice that Spencer has tears after, not weeping or anything, just Spencer realised that he's just had sex while Ryan's missing and how could he, he's the worst friend ever and Brendon's guilt stricken and creeps away feeling terrible.
OH! Brendon going missing too is genuis! Then he can be with Ryan, and tehn Jon and they're going crazy because they know the unsub is going after Spencer and meanwhile Spencer is alone!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 03:31 pm (UTC)Yes! And Brendon goes outside and and holds his head in anguish and that is when he is nabbed! ANd the Unsub *knows* they ahd sex so he totally beats on Brendon and Brendon doesn't understand until he is thrown in with Ryan and Ryan totally gets him to fess up about what happened. But Ryan knows that Brendon has had a crush on Spencer for ever (he can be perceptive when he wants, he just usually doesn't want to).
And he thinks it is a good thing, but Brendon knows he is wrong and it is just full of woe.
AND! NAD! ANd when the Unsub finally comes for Spencer, he is totally fierce and fights like a wildcat! Getting some good knocks in and then the CM guys show up and catch him, but he won't tell them where Ryan and the others are! Oh noes!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 03:49 pm (UTC)If they come back to finish the job can Mikey kick some homophobic ass? I'm sure he can find something to wield as a weapon.
Oh no! Poor Brendon! Nabbed after he's had the sex he's been waiting for forever, and that then turns to the worst sex when he realises what he's done. And the unsub could be slamming him around and yelling how he saw Brendon have sex with Spencer and that Spencer is his and Brendon's going to pay and he'd be terrified, but keeps stuggling as he's stuffed into the trunk of a car and then hauled out a while later, light-headed and aching, trying his best to escape as he's bodily thrown in with Ryan. And then yes! They would have that talk and Ryan would know about the crush and try to tell Brendon that Spencer feels the same but Brendon's not listening and Ryan's not used to these heart to hearts with anyone that's not Spencer and he's stressed and freaked out and it's tragic!
YES! Spencer does fight, he's all brave and wild with his need to find his friends and the CM guys would take the unsub away and Spencer would insist he goes too and he'd not leave as they interview him and Reid would be at his board and Morgan interrogating the unsub and Garcia tracking phone calls and property records and eventually she gets a good hit and they want Spencer to say behind and he's like, hell no!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 04:03 pm (UTC)Yes!! Brendon felt so happy at first, but then he feels dirty and gets bashed around by the Unsub. And he's just a wreck by the time he gets thrown in with Ryan, and Ryan is all Flails! Because it was bad enough being here alone, but now he has to worry about a hurt and upset Brendon too. He wa stoic before, but now he doesn't know if he can survive this! (they are so going to need therapy afterwards, just saying. *g*)
But the CM guys insist, so Spencer totally has to follow them surreptitiously (or he hears where the unsub says and since they are in Vegas he knows a shortcut, so gets sneaks away and gets there first!) and go running in when the CM guys are all cautious and they have to chase after him as he calls out for Ryan and Brendon!
But they are tied up and hoarse from screaming so they can't answer and Spencer fears they are dead!

ummm yeah I might be slightly out of it. I think I'm coming down with a sinus infection. so if I'm not understandable....yeah.
side note...I don't know when it'll start but the Spiderman story somehow also has links to Ironman and some of the x-men(and dude I love all the superhero aus that pop up in bandom.....there will never be enough)
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 06:38 pm (UTC)Oh Ryan! He would have been stoic but of course it gets worse when Brendon's there too! They're both going to try and be strong for each other and it's going to end up so badly!
YES! Of course Spencer goes running in first, causing chaos and upset and !!!!!!
He'd be so upset and worried and just bashing through doors until he finally finds them and is then torn about who to untie first and he falls to his knees and hugs them both, blood, sweat, snot and all and then the team finally comes in and they're furious with Spencer, pulling him back, but this time he goes, just a few feet as he watches Brendon and Ryan be untied.
I suspect 90% of my stories should have them having therapy at the end *g*
