Why This Must Be Read:
Hi, I'm Amandazillah, driving the crack_van for bandom this month! Although I tend to spend a lot of time on My Chemical Romance, I wanted to start with one of my favorite Panic At the Disco stories.
Skoosie's "Certain Coasts Set Apart" is hurt/comfort the way it should be done. It's a future fic where Spencer has had an emotional breakdown following a personal tragedy and Brendon breaking his heart. One day five years later, Brendon comes back into his life. There isn't an emotion or a character in this that isn't perfect.
“Look, we all coped in different ways, okay?” Jon leaned his elbows on his thighs, clasped his hands together. “You assaulted a beloved anime character and got into a fist fight in the happiest toy store on earth, and Brendon. Brendon had some sort of mortality crisis, got married and had a baby.”
Certain Coasts Set Apart
Spencer picked at the knee-hole in his jeans with a thumb. “It’s been too long, Jon,” he said finally. He couldn’t actually say that he’d moved on, because Jon wouldn’t believe him. He lived at the beach. He lived at the beach with two cats.
Jon sighed. “He tried to make it work. Jay’s a great kid and Marla’s—”
“Jon,” Spencer cut in quietly.
“They tried, Spencer.” Jon reached out and cupped Spencer’s knee, squeezing it. “You can’t fault him for trying. Now you have to decide if you want to try, too.”
