Why this Must Be Read:

Okay, this one might get me into trouble. I've mostly recced happy things, now it's time for something controversial. Bandslash has a lot of ex-popslashers in it, and this is sort of a bandom version of Flesh Mechanic, Not an AU. You know, the story where Justin becomes a serial killer.

This is about Pete Wentz, and how he has a movement that's secret but not. It's about how Patrick gets brainwashed into the movement, about torture and sex and the dark things just under the surface of what seems to be harmless pop. A lot of people read this story, looked at their giant mound of bandom merchandise, and wondered if they hadn't accidentally joined the new Mansons. Honestly, it makes you question your involvement.

queenofhell left a note at the end of her story telling people it was all right to write their own pieces for this 'verse, and now there's over 70 stories and a community (cultverse). If you like, try out the other stories as well, most of them are good, some of them are fantastic. All are disturbing.

Again, warnings for horror, disturbance, mistreatment of Patrick (which should be a felony, I agree), minor character death. It's all here.

But here's the first step down the rabbit hole. It's a bit steep.

The real story starts when they’re on tour that first week, and Pete holds him down in the back of the van, knees on his chest, hands on his wrists, cock in his mouth, and whispers lyrics into Patrick’s ear while Joe watches intently and Andy in the driver’s seat hums along to a snatch of something on the radio, his voice happy and light in the background as though Patrick isn’t breaking in the back.

I love cultverse so disturbingly plausible. lol

cultverse is honestly one of my favorite things about this fandom, and that skeeves the shit out of some of my friends. I can't help it, it's a collective folk art at this point, dozens of people telling a story. And the net just gets cast wider until eventually *every* band will have their cultverse story.

(Let's just say that me and a friend, in aim, discussed Jethro Tull's place in the 'verse. That's reaching deep.)
