the luminous outset became the interminable middle

So today is someone's birthday. It's foxxcub 's birthday and she is entirely made of great things (like if you haven't read her stories and journal then you are missing out on excellence and sweetness!) but she is also great because she inspires great things, like the following story. So here is a rec, which everyone will eventually read, but just in case, here is some good peer pressure.

Title: If You're Not There To Sing Along
Author adellyna 
Pairing: Jon/Spencer
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 5700
Summary: It's not that Jon isn't hot. It's that Spencer absolutely, positively cannot fuck up Ryan's band. It's an AU.


I don't know what else I have to say to sell it; but this is such a great AU. It's funny and slightly romantic. Excellent cameos. So here is an excerpt, if you need more reasons:

The second round of auditions is even more of a disaster, if such a thing is possible. Spencer puts a carefully worded ad up on Craigslist and receives a slew of dick pictures for his efforts.

"This is disgusting," he tells Ryan, jabbing his finger at his screen. "And irrelevant. Unless this guy is planning to play his guitar with his dick, in which case..."

"I don't think so," Ryan says thoughtfully. "He's uncircumcised."

It's a fallacy that a decade and a half of friendship enables you to understand every word out of someone's mouth. For this, Spencer is sometimes very grateful.
