Why this must be read:

With bandom currently knee-deep in the first week of [livejournal.com profile] bandombigbang's offerings and me being knee-deep in a week of tragedy, I didn't feel too bad about missing two of my recs already. But I'm planning on making up for it and to kick it all off I bring you . . . fairies! This fic wasn't on my original list of reccables, but I thought that in the midst of everything, BBB and personal stuff, something a little quirky, a lot fun, and all sweet would be appropriate.

Spencer Smith and Ryan Ross are fairies who routinely get assigned to young children; they are then expected to look after them as they grow up, like guardian angels but with fancier wings. On their first solo assignment, Ryan is sent to Jon Walker in Chicago and Spencer is sent to Brendon Urie in Las Vegas and, of course, love happens. What I adore so much about this fic is that it tells such a great story. While it could lend itself purely toward crack!fic, it takes a somewhat outlandish premise and makes it completely believable. Spencer and Ryan as fairies are extremely well drawn and their emotions are sweetly depicted, while Brendon is a heartbreakingly beautiful boy here and the love between them, Ryan and Spencer's friendship and Brendon and Spencer's unrequited feelings, feels natural and organic and real. Even Jon, who doesn't come into play until later in the fic, is fantastically done. These boys are not caricatures of themselves, even though a story about guardian fairies would be the perfect place for it, and that's the true wonder of this fic.

It's a great love story and it has literal fairies and if you want to check out something less than 20k but still as satisfying as any Big Bang, take a break and read this.
