Why this must be read: The premise is roughly explained by the summary and title: Jon inherits a bookstore. Considering this is an ensemble fic, obviously pretty much everyone in bandom shows up in some capacity or another and shenanigans ensue. It's mostly a PATD fic, I'm not going to lie, but as all good ensemble fics it manages to balance out character time pretty well so even if Panic isn't your thing, I'd urge you to give this one a try. :) I don't think you'll regret it.
As for why you should give it a try, there's a myriad of reasons. Excellent characterisation, plenty of humour, solid storytelling. It's not a stunning, award-winning, mindblowing piece of literature, but as far as well-written fic goes, trust me, you could do far, far worse.
