Breathing With the Aid of Denial (R), by frk_werewolf

Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Ryan/Mikey, side Frank/Gerard, Jon/Spencer
Length: ~22k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] frk_werewolf
Author Website: blood-howl,
Why this must be read: Because it's awesome and brilliant. No, seriously. This is a fantastic example of the supernatural/fantasy AU genre, with supreme world-building. [livejournal.com profile] frk_werewolf draws a completely original universe wherein she uses the guys characteristics to really fit the rules of her world. This is dark and often hurty, but also very hopeful, and full of beautiful writing.



Ryan had undergone so much training in the past two years that he had almost forgotten that he was ranked top of the class in drawing blood, especially from an uncooperative patient. Ryan stepped closer to the glass division and swallowed. He'd have to go inside, up close and personal with a dark sider.

He wasn't stupid. He knew that this was a dangerous job. Light and dark energy were polar opposites and therefore able to destroy one another. If Way still had enough energy to fight back, he could easily hurt Ryan. But he couldn't kill Ryan. Not if Way was a true healer, anyway. Nature had created a few laws Ryan agreed with.

"Give me the tools," Ryan ordered, setting down his clipboard.

"I should warn you--" Brendon began nervously. He chewed on his lip. "This guy isn't the average dark sider. He's got power. If you've never been near a dark sider before it can be a little overwhelming--"

"I've been near one," Ryan interrupted, visions of Spencer flashing in his mind, both of them using their new powers before they knew what they were. Ryan probably should have died, considering some of the things they had done. But he had lived and now he had a stronger defense against dark energy than most.
