Why this must be read: When I first sorta started reading the fic in this fandom, I had Certain Opinions on Pete Wentz. I still do, of course (as does everyone who has ever heard his name, I believe). Pete is in turns vulnerable, manipulative, tragic, dark, and charismatic. Guess who else could fit that description? Yeah, scary ass freaks.

I was pondering writing a story where Pete was the spider at the center of a very scary web when I stumbled on this story. The heavens opened--this fandom has a whole corner where people happily write stories where their beloved band members are psychotic maniacs? People revel in it? SIGN ME UP!

The amazing part of all of this is that the source material supports all of these conjectures with only the tiniest amount of squinting. Maybe you don't even have to squint at all.

This isn't a happy-go-lucky fluffball of a fic. It's also just the first installation of a UNIVERSE. If you like what you find here, you can spend a week gobbling up more. Probably longer if you shower and eat. If you're looking for something more than "dirty boys in a van drinking too much" or suspect that Pete Wentz is out to corrupt the youth, this is for you.
