Right now I've over 7k into the Mikey/Pete

help_haiti story and nowhere near finished. How does this happen?

The WIP meme is going around again and I've seen people with long lists of stories they're working on. That always gives me awe because I'm usually working on one only, except right now I'm working on two. My bandom WIPs, let me show you them.

"Mikey Way." It's no surprise that Pete's waiting. He's sitting on the grass, legs crossed and holding a Popsicle that's melting over his hand. There's a cup of coffee at his side -- coffee in a real mug, one with flowers on the side. Pete grins and holds the Popsicle toward Mikey. "I brought you breakfast."

Mikey jumps down the last step, squinting a little in spite of his oversized sunglasses. Despite being so early it's already hot and the grass is brittle under Mikey's feet as he makes his way to Pete. Lowering himself down Mikey mimics Pete's pose, their knees touching as he takes the Popsicle, sucking off the drips before biting off the end and giving it back to Pete. "Thank you."

Pete grins, says, "Cheater. You're not supposed to bite."

And from the slowest fic to be written ever.

One of his mom's favorite stories is how on his first day of pre-school Bob refused to give her a kiss before stalking into the school. Each time she tells the story she adds some embarrassing detail, how Bob was wearing yellow shorts and a cookie monster t-shirt and long socks that wouldn't stay up on his chubby legs. Of course Bob can't remember a thing about that day. What he does remember is his mom's face when she tells the story, how each time she smiles wistfully, her memories preserved and kept sharp.

It's why, despite the drizzling rain and cold breeze, he's standing at the main door of the pre-school right now, his shoulders hunched and hands pushed deep in his pockets as he waits for the first parents to arrive. He knows that for them, this is one of the most important days of their lives.

Talking of Mikey/Pete,

mahoni's started something with her South Park Bobs I posted a very cliched Mikeyway in her comments, then had to go make myself a Pete

This is Mikey and Pete in their house, the one with a black picket fence and many cats and dogs running everywhere.

I want to see the rest of the bandom people, Go make them! or I'll be forced to add them myself and get nothing else done today.

Mikey and Pete sharing a popsicle is inexplicably cute. Also, I love that there is popsicle and coffee. :D

OMG the mental image of bb!Bob STALKING into preschool just about makes me melt. *hearteyes*

Pete!! Tattoos and the monkey playing the drums! XD

Pete knows the kind of breakfast Mikey wants *g*

Bb!Bob would be the cutest thing ever! All chubby cheeks and determination I bet.

As soon as I saw the monkey I knew it needed to be with Pete. I just wish I could have flipped the mouth for the perfect Wentz face.

Hey, Mikey expert, I have a question: what are some of Mikey's favorite bands/musicians? If they're bands Mikey liked at some point before 2005 that would be even better! *hopeful*

R.e. South Park Pete's smile, flipped like so?

Mikey and britpop always go together. Radiohead, The Smiths, Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, Stone Roses, The Cure, Morrisey, Pulp, stuff like that. Back in the day he was pictured with a Muse sticker on his bass. All those are pre 2005

In the Fuse interviews he said he liked old style rap, Dr Dre (sp?) Public Enemy, Slick Rick, Easy E

Erm, more early stuff, The Misfits, Anthrax, Rick Springfield and probably a million other bands.

YES! Now he's got a Wentz face! Thank you!

The most famous though is probably Smashing Pumpkins

Hey dont forget Journey, Oasis and the Beatles! Less "hip" but still he's on record as ♥ing them

Awesome, thank you!! It's one of those things that I may not need specific titles, but on the other hand I might and I would not be able to proceed until I had that information on hand omg.

WENTZ FACE! I like Pete's Wentz face. It's adorkable and funny.

bb!BC is making me feel better ♥

bb!BC would share his sandwiches with you. The ones his mom packs in his ninja turtle box. You'd have to get your own juice box, though.

Deal.

I seriously need to read more about it. Aw.

eeeeeee monkey!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, and Mikey and Pete are adorable too.

Love the excerpts too. I want preschool teacher Bob even more than ever. He STALKED into school omg. ♥ ♥ ♥

Ahahaha! No, the monkey is awesome, I get the reaction.

Preschool teacher Bob is taking forever to write. It's shocking how long.

Perhaps it would be good for you to have more WIPs at once, it could encourage you to not write them all so long ;-P

I want Bob the preschool teacher!

Your Pete is hilarious!

I suspect all that would happen if I had more WIPs is I'd have more long stories.

So do I! But the Mikey/Pete will be done first :D

Mahoni started something linking to that site. I was very pleased to find some tattoos that sort of matched.

How does that happen? IDK but now you have a tiny glimpse of what its like to LIVE IN MY BRAIN. That said? HOLY FUCK LADY I AM SO EXCITED I COULD DIE! Dont rush to the finish line on my account.You take your sweet time. POPSICLE LOVE! *melts*

PS - fucking awful pun not intentional.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DIE! NOT WITHOUT FINISHING PRISON!

Talking of. My sister turned up last night and didn't leave until well after midnight which ruined my plans of finishing your file. I have to go to nanna's and then grocery shopping but I only have 10 pages to go so you should have it by tonight.

I'm trying okay? I'm trying! But figuring out wtf to do with Gabe is torture. I'm considering going back and doing a Brian POV (in the early section and then reprised like everyone else) so I can get some the extra details that the prisoners wouldnt have maybe? I dont know dude. It may actually kill me.

BUT HOLY CRAP YAY! I understand on the sibling thing. My friend had a MAJOR crisis at 1am while I was at work and I had to wake up my sister to go get her because I was at work and got to talk her through a breakdown, at my place of work, for three hours. Yeah my life is a rich and exciting tapestry. So dont stress yourself bb. Seriously. It's all good.

Yeah, I can understand that. I keep flipping both ways myself and I'm just the reader. A Brian section would be good, having an officials POV would add more details but saying that, I think the story would stand without it. You've given the info, just it takes a while to add all the pieces. It won't kill you. You'll finish, it'll be awesome and everyone will see that.

Man, you had a hard night. I hope your friend is okay.

Here's MCR, FOB and Panic!!!! I'm now tempted to make all of bandom. :-)

I can't wait to read your Mikey/Pete fic. There should always be more Pete/Mikey!! :-)

**sorry I keep editing my comment... :-)

Dude, keep editing away!

More bamdom South Parks! Awersome! I'm going to see as soon as I post this.

I fully agree, more Mikey/Pete always!

Awww, Mikey and Pete are adorable.

And your WIPs are my happy place. ♥

Aren't they? All ready to be happy in their house of many animals and black picket fences :D

I'm glad, though I wish they'd write themselves *g*

But...but...there's no sign of blood loss or near-death experiences or angst in either of those snippets. Are you sure they're your WIPs?

*g*

I know! I don't know what's come over me, they're like, totally happy and angst free right now!

And from the slowest fic to be written ever.

*snicker*

Nuh-uh.

I wish, hee.
