the luminous outset became the interminable middle

Someday Slow to Make My Move
Gen, Quinn & Rachel
Rachel and Quinn go to a Tegan and Sara concert.

Quinn's been jostled for the fifth time in ten minutes and she swears she can feel the person pressed up behind her breathing. It's not pleasant. While the opening band sets up, another song she's never heard of pushes her closer to deafness, and her only consolation is Rachel's tight smile, looking just as uncomfortable standing next to her.

'Is this the experience you wanted?' yells Quinn over the music, poking Rachel's shoulder to get her attention.

'No but I'm sure it gets better,' says Rachel, ever the optimist.

Title: Shades of Similarities Bind
Rating: PG-13, some minor language
Pairing: Gabe/Spencer, Brendon/Spencer (past), other background ones
Word Count: 2750
Bands: PATD, Cobra Starship
Summary: Spencer meets someone on tour.
A/N: This is an AU where Cobra Starship does not exist. It was written for super_bandom challenge featuring kind of rare pairs. So much thanks to awkwardlurker  for looking over this for me and catching my mistakes. Any other ones you find are solely on me.

25 Days by Hello Saferide is a song that sort of goes with this story.




( The first time they meet is an accident. )

Title: Definitive Countdown
Pairing: Nate/Patrick, background Pete/Spencer
Rating: PG
Word Count: just a bit over 1000
Bands: Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, PATD
Summary: Patrick has five days to find out what a fling means and if the definition applies to his situation.
A/N: This was written for a prompt for super_bandom, Week 4. It is an Alternate Universe where FOB never formed but Patrick is a popular music producer. Cobra Starship is popular though and Nate is still their drummer. PATD never formed either. P.S. The Gabe/Patrick and this story were written for The Multitasker.
Disclaimer: This is so much fiction.
Many thanks to awkwardlurker  for being excellent and looking over this for me.




( Apparently, Patrick failed at any relationship unless it was solely based on music. )
