A Marriage of Convenience by Jae (NC-17)

Fandom: Bandom
Pairing: Jon Walker/Tom Conrad
Length: novella-length: 40,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jae_w
Author Website: i will not be afraid of boybands and Jae's stories on LJ
Why this must be read:
When I realized this story hadn't been rec'd in this community, I had to do it even though I've recommended the story in my LJ before. (I was trying to choose only new stories.) This Regency AU is for any Georgette Heyer fans out there. You don't need to know the bands due to the AU setting; you just need to be in the mood for period romance.

It's a perfect take on Regency love, full of classic misunderstandings leading to angst. Jae caught the tone of the genre perfectly, and she also made the reader feel this Tom and this Jon are still similar to the Tom and Jon we know at present (and the same goes for Pete and Ryan).
