the wrong end of the telescope

You know when you're having a shitty night and sometimes the universe provides you with things you need?

BRENDON ACTUAL URIE.

This time around, I felt I had to step up and take the reins lyrically. It’s something I wasn’t very well practiced in, so I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to write about—what would interest me, what would be fun. So there are moments on the record—lyrical moments—where they’re very, very honest, very straightforward. And there are also songs that we’ve always loved doing, that are very storytelling and fantastical. It doesn’t limit itself to straightforward honesty. There are a lot of fun little lyrical moments. It’s fun for us to mess around with verbiage, I guess.

Also, The Like took some pictures. (All from here.)

Title: Letting Them Win
Pairing(s): Panic GSF
Rating: R/NC-17
Warnings: Mild s/D dynamics, hair-pulling.
Word count: 1306
Summary: Jon has no idea what his band mates are up to, but he’s beginning to think he might like it. An unauthorized sequel to fictionalaspect’s All In.

A/N: This is for fictionalaspect, obviously, because when she posted that story I said something about how Jon Walker needs to get what’s clearly coming to him, and she told me to write it, which--I couldn’t figure out how to get it right, not then. Partly because I'm very bad at writing porn. But then I was writing her a different story in October (yeah, there are two more coming eventually, but they will be much longer, my darling, so they’re not done yet, and also they involve no cheating and riffing off of your stories) when I thought of this. It has been missing about three paragraphs for the last month, so I wrote them now. Hi. Love you and stuff.

Title: Know Every Scene By Heart
Pairings: girl!Spencer/Ryan
Word Count; 2000
Warnings: None
Summary: The lack of easy access to a somewhat cryptic best friend is one of the shittiest things about this band split business.

A/N: This is a sequel to Not That Hard To Find. It's not strictly necessary to read that first, but it might be helpful. Fics in this verse are always for blindmouse, even when I make her beta them (see below).

This was looked over by blindmouse and kickingrad, a duo of much awesomeness. If there are any remaining problems, it is most certainly not their fault. The title belongs to Bob Dylan, as always, and just like last time, it's from "If You See Her, Say Hello."
