Why this must be read:
In the interest of full disclosure, this fic was basically written for me. But, and I say this as objectively as I can, it is a really awesome story.
wordscomekinda builds a stark space AU about one guy in the grasp of an authoritarian government. Her Bob voice is superb and befitting the situation: a little harried, a little run down, but he's still the same good, sarcastic guy.
My favorite part of this is the spirit of defiance that (eventually) fights back against everything else. This is ultimately a story about standing in the face of overwhelming power and corruption--no matter how you found yourself in the line of sight--and saying no, fighting back. Defiance and speaking up for what's right is a big part of what My Chemical Romance represents to me, and I think she translates this beautifully into this AU.
Bob wasn’t a trouble-maker, honest, he really wasn’t. He just had a bad habit of befriending the wrong people and sticking with them no matter what. His mom had called it character; he called it fuckin’ inconvenient on the better days.
“Where are you going now?” Bob asks, snagging the back of Bert’s collar as he turned to take off down a side-street.
“Leggo, dude, I know a guy who knows a guy-he’s got fuckin’ CDs, man, he’s a friend of Branden's-“
“No,” he shakes his head even as Bert wrenches out of his grip and keeps going. "Dude, we haven't seen Branden in weeks. We don't even know what's up with-"
“Come on man!” Bert calls without looking back. “Live a fucking little! You’re gonna go crazy like that otherwise.”
Bob looks at Jepha for support, or even just affirmation that Bob’s not the crazy one here, but Jepha’s already following Bert, sauntering vaguely down the alley. Bob squeezes his eyes shut before turning to Quinn, who just shrugs. Really, Bob figures, what’s he to do but roll his eyes and follow them? Someone’s gotta make sure they don’t end up doing anything really stupid.
Character, Bob grumbles to himself. He’s pretty sure he’s got assloads of character.
