Summary:

Frank, Gabe, and Brendon have settled into being the Department’s Search and Rescue crew with ease. It’s an adventure they navigate on the days they’re not busy dealing with disgruntled Lab technicians and the daily grind of working for a covert agency. Gabe has a life he enjoys and a private relationship he couldn’t be happier with.

That’s all well and good until S&R ends up with a fourth member. One who has his own issues and baggage. Spencer’s not horrible, if maybe a bit too attached to his Department manual. But eventually they’ll break him of that. Maybe. If something irreversible doesn’t happen first. (A sequel to a 2013 Wave One BBB.)

#4
Band(s): Panic! at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship,
Travie McCoy, William Beckett
Pairing(s): Brendon Urie/Ryan Ross
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Period-typical homophobia, period-typical terminology of POC, off-screen violent death of minor character
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

In the booming city of New Orleans, January 1946, Ryan Ross is a journalist with nothing exciting in his life. Living alone in his apartment in Bywater with a leather-bound notebook and an acoustic at the end of the bed to keep him company, his only friend is
self-proclaimed-confidant Spencer Smith.

After failing to win yet another of the Saint Claude Poetry Club's monthly competitions, Ryan is approached by Big Jimmy, a loud and successful Negro jazz singer who invites Ryan to the club he co-owns with Pete Wentz in the French Quarter, then proposes a deal. If Ryan writes the words for Big Jimmy's songs and keeps quiet about it, he'll get five dollars a song. It's an offer Ryan can't refuse.

At the club, Ryan meets the talented and aspiring singer Brendon Urie, who works double shifts as a waiter multiple times to week in order to work towards his dream of being a real musician. After weeks of only spending time with Brendon with other friends, they're pushed together by Brendon's witty and unabashed friend Sarah and together begin the first relationship Ryan has ever had. All seems perfect - despite being in hiding due to fear of arrest and prison; sodomy is punishable by 5 years in Louisiana, until the lies start to build up. Brendon knows nothing of Ryan's deal with Big Jimmy and Ryan's has kept his life with Brendon apart from his life with the rest of the world. As the two worlds collide, enemies become friends, ex-lovers seek revenge and lives are lost.

#5
Band(s): My Chemical Romance
Pairing(s): Frank Iero/Gerard Way
Rating: NC-17
Warnings:None; graphic description of a bloody nose maybe and non-graphic animal harm, but, really, no
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

This work of fanfiction (also AU, so no band) describes nothing more than two people learning to love. It includes many slow-pace scenes with talks and domestic fluff but also a little adventure in a foreign country and a disease. There will be a child and a wild animal as supporting heroes, but mostly there will be feelings of both Gerard and Frank as they fall for each other and find a place in their lives to fit in their love.

#6
Band(s): My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, The Academy Is...
Pairing(s): Mikey Way/Pete Wentz, William Beckett/Gabe Saporta
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Underage, Age-gap, Minor Alcohol Use, Minor Drug Use.
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

Mikey Way falls asleep in class and gets detention one time too many, and his mom makes a decision on his behalf and signs him up for the local soccer team in hope that that will get him to focus more on his senior year of high school. Mikey is prepared for two hours of public embarrassment twice a week, and it's not like he gets any kind of support from his two friends Gabe and William, who are mostly just mildly bullying him about it. His coach, Pete Wentz, who's fresh out of college and kind of down to earth, is okay though. He empathizes with Mikey and let's him guard the goals.

Then, when Mikey turns eighteen and Gabe drags him and William to one of his cousins infamous parties, Mikey accidentally runs into Pete who happens to know someone that knows someone that knows Gabes cousin, and when Mikey is already fairly intoxicated, they end up dancing. Way too close. Which, when considering the circumstances, puts them both in a really awkward situation.

When Mikey afterwards forgets his glasses and catches Pete off guard in the coach locker rooms one day after practice, they initiate a secret relationship, which is a fairly difficult thing to do when Mikey has a nosy brother, a mother with awful timing and two really, really annoying friends who should probably spend a little more time figuring out their own business instead of sticking their noses in Mikey's.

#7
Band(s): My Chemical Romance
Pairing(s): Gerard Way/Frank Iero
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Minor character death
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

Frank never thought he would feel like this. Things with Gerard are going so great, and then they're not. He wants to understand why Gerard keeps pulling back when he is perfectly aware that Frank is trying everything for them to stay together. Gerard doesn't understand any of it himself. He doesn't know how he could still feel this way when it's been so long since...

#8
Band(s): My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy
Pairing(s): Mikey Way/Brian Schechter, Gerard Way/Frank Iero
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Major character death, situations of violence and gore, mild sexual content
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

Mikey Way, along with Gerard Way and Frank Iero, have become famous as the Trio of Terror. That changes the day a fourth Killjoy appears, causing trouble for the Better Living Industries. Mikey finds and saves the new Killjoy, a man named Ray Toro. When BLI captures Ray's daughter, the Fabulous Killjoys must team up with the local medic, Mikey's ex-boyfriend Brian, and two unknown Zone Runners, Blue Phoenix and Young Volcano, to break into Better Living Headquarters. The gang risks it all and, in the end, the Killjoys will never be the same again.

#9
Band(s): My Chemical Romance, some Fall Out Boy, mentions of Panic! at the Disco
Pairing(s): Party Poison/Kobra Kid, Jet Star/Show Pony
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Sibling incest, graphic violence, medical situations, references to torture, references to murder, explicit sex, minor drug use (pot), references to past substance abuse, trauma, lots of swearing
Open to collab: Maybe
Summary:

Gerard hasn't even been sober for two months when a nuclear blast lays waste to New Jersey and New York in the fall of 2004. My Chemical Romance are spared because their tour had taken them out of their home state, but their lives are irrevocably altered. To Gerard, it doesn't feel like the world has truly changed as long as he has Mikey, who he's been soul-bonded with all their lives.

Until BL/ind captures Mikey, and the Killjoys rescue a Mikey who is not the same as the one they lost.

A story about identity, evolution, and being what tomorrow needs.

#10
Band(s): Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco
Pairing(s): Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump, Brendon Urie/Spencer Smith, Pete/Patrick/Brendon, Spencer Smith/Ryan Ross
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Mentions of addiction/recovery, light BDSM, one scene in which a kink is not negotiated before hand & one partner objects
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

A sequel to stories written for two previous BBBs. Fall Out Boy are back on tour, and Panic! at the Disco are with them--minus Spencer, who's staying home to focus on his recovery. Brendon's not thrilled about leaving his boyfriend behind, even though Spencer's got Ryan with him to help. As Ryan and Spencer repair their friendship--and develop something more--Brendon starts to doubt his place in Spencer's life. Pete and Patrick can't help but worry about Brendon, and Patrick wants to take care of him the way Spencer and Brendon took care of him when he toured with Panic on his solo tour. They offer him a place to belong, at least while they're on tour, but what happens when it's time to go home?

#11
Band(s): Fall Out Boy
Pairing(s): Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: none of the officially mandatory warnings apply but it's worth mentioning that this fic deals with microaggressions related to gender and mental health, as is mentioned in the summary.
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

Halfway through the hiatus, Pete and Patrick begin sleeping together; gun-shy and cautious, they keep their feelings secret in an attempt to protect themselves and each other. This casual arrangement continues as the band gets back together--and then they get outed to the world at large. Amidst a veritable shitstorm of media attention and microaggressions, they attempt to cope as best they can.

Pete is trans in this fic, and while it’s not central to the plot, it informs both the characterization and the way in which this fic deals with gender, performance, and ideas of exposure. This fic is about negotiating a world that isn’t made for you, a world which sets certain people up for breakage, and how we choose to become in spite of that. It’s also about history and the way, for better or worse, the past informs who we are and what we do. It’s about the patterns we fall into without noticing and what it takes to finally change them.

#12
Band(s): Fall Out Boy
Pairing(s): Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump/Mikey Way
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Lies and deception
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

Pete Wentz is a fashion mogul with a brand new music label who gets an earful of struggling artist Patrick Stump's demo and wants to sign him. Except when he asks to see a photo of Patrick, Patrick sends him a picture of his hot roommate Mikey Way instead.

Mikey pretends to be Patrick as a favor, then the next thing you know Patrick's falling for Pete, even though Pete thinks he looks like Mikey and that Patrick is a drummer named Gerard. It's complicated.

An AU based on the movie The Truth About Cats and Dogs.

#13
Band(s): My Chemical Romance, William Beckett, Cobra Starship, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco
Pairing(s): Gabriel Saporta/William Beckett, Spencer Smith/Brendon Urie, Frank Iero/Mikey Way
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Violence, Gore... ish
Open to collab: Yes
Summary:

00.01: Appreciably enhanced sense of foresight. Excels at everything he tries, particularly the arts and leadership. Mildly aloof. My favourite.
00.02: A spoiled brat. Shows admirable knowledge of his power of hypnosis- as illustrated by the constant trouble his siblings get into.
00.03: Insufferable, narcissistic creature, but incredibly useful. Made it rain in the study, notes are soaked and illegible.
00.04: Development of psychic abilities stunted by fretful, morbid temperament. Inexplicable resemblance to a girl I knew once.
00.05: Disappeared several days ago. No great loss.
00.06: Gruesome but fascinating. Easily manipulated due to naive nature.
00.07: No discernible talents. Some enthusiasm for music, but mediocre skill- can hardly work his way through a proper riff. Utterly useless.

#14

Pairing(s): Frank Iero/Mikey Way, Lindsey Ballato/Gerard Way
