If Music Be the Food of Love by sunsetmog (R)
The microphone has been passed to me for the next month of Bandom recs, and I'm pretty pleased to be doing so! I hope to share a wide range of fics with you, including some little recced bands such as The Cab and The Used this month. I've over 1000 fic recs bookmarked, so I'm sure I'll be able to come up with something for everyone :)

Why this must be read:
sunsetmog calls this fic her not-so-secret love letter to fandom. It kind of really is. Mog gets right into Brendon Urie, a Mormon kid with no friends and too much energy and a huge need to please. She tells his story from before he met the rest of his band, his trials at school and at home, and one of the most significant periods of Panic canon history: Brendon leaving his parents and home for the band.
The emotion in this fic is amazing, Mog's perspective and how she portrays Brendon and the band are perfect and real. And the quiet, subtle relationship that developes with Brendon and Spencer is fantastic.
Brendon's almost asleep when Spencer's mom comes in. Brendon is lying half on top of Spencer, his head on Spencer's shoulder. Spencer's got his arms around Brendon and Brendon's fingers are in Spencer's hair. Brendon doesn't open his eyes.
There's a long moment where no one says anything. Then, quietly, Spencer's mom says "Is there something you want to tell me, Spencer?"
Brendon definitely does not open his eyes.
Spencer's hands tighten on Brendon's arms. "Not yet, Mom," Spencer says, softly.
It's a long time before Brendon hears the soft click of the door closing.
In the morning, Brendon thinks that maybe Spencer's mom has been crying. Her eyes are red-rimmed and she looks tired. She makes them all pancakes and presses a kiss to Spencer's temple, touching at Brendon's shoulder with her hand.
Brendon tries to pretend like nothing's changed.
