schmericaTime for the bandom fic rec meme that's been going around! Woo-hoo. First lines of twenty-five stories behind the cut tag; identify the story and win unending glory. Or just get to reread awesome stuff, whichever.
BANDOM FIRST LINES MEME
1. Frank is in his underwear and grinning at nobody in particular.
2. Frank Iero — and this is a fact — is an obnoxious little shit.
3. Ultimately, it's all Patrick Stump's fault.
4. Mikey calls them at three in the morning to tell them to come down, there's something wrong with Gerard.
5. Chicago had been colder and darker. California had been a mistake, which he realized only when it was already too late.
6. Even though he told Brian to come over, Gerard still starts when he hears the door clicks open.
7. “I think Ray’s going try to punch me in the face one of these days,” Pete commented, dumping all of the sugar packets out of their little holder onto the Formica tabletop.
8. Incidentally, the robot was an accident.
9. The problem, Gerard thinks morosely, as he watches Mikey pick out chords on his bass, is that he read The Mists of Avalon at an impressionable age.
10. When they get to the hotel that night, Gerard tells Frank, "Give us an hour. Don't shower before you come over."
11. Mikey first meets Pete at a party, and they’re both really, really drunk.
12. Frank was standing in front of the schedule, head tilted to the side, peering at it intently. "Is this…color coded?" he finally asked Ray.
13. It’s hot. Everywhere Mikey shifts to try to find a breeze has the same hot, sticky summer air and he just lies there, staring into the darkness of the room.
14. “We’ll be fine,” Gerard tells Mikey in the jittery, endless minutes they’re killing in his basement room, waiting to leave.
15. When Mikey gets home from teaching his very first tutorial ever, he shucks off his jeans, drops his glasses on his desk, and crawls into bed, pulling the blankets up over his head so they glow red in the sunlight coming through his window.
16. The bus bathroom is way too small for this, but Joe's hot-boxed smaller.
17. That summer back in ’05 had been one long blur of hot empty evenings that went on forever, when was Pete just moving moving moving to stay ahead of the soul-killing boredom and his own time bomb of a brain.
18. There's this story their mom always tells. Family gatherings, church stuff, school stuff, whatever.
19. The first thing Mikey did when he saw Pete Wentz was look away, which was why the first thing Pete did when he saw Mikey Way was kick him in the shins.
20. Mikey's been walking around with a boner for like, the last three years.
21. It’s Patrick who calls him, on a rainy afternoon in Dublin in November, three hours before they’re supposed to be on stage.
22. It had big eyes. // That was finally the excuse Gerard used, when everyone found out.
23. "Are you sure you're a lawyer?" Mikey realized, a second after the words came out of his mouth, that he'd actually said them.
24. Pete sees the new guy for the first time while he's wandering around the halls, slouching around corners and dragging his thumb along a groove between the cinderblocks.
25. The house is old. Really, the house is practically ancient; it groans and complains when the fall storms come calling, and the shed in the garden is holding itself together through sheer will and the last rusty nails clinging to the walls.
