Why this must be read: *points at title* What could be more amazing and adorable than Bandom peeps in duck form?
Whatsunsetmog had done in this fic is take the 2008 versions of the bands and their canon and whip up a cracky premise that has lots of heart. From Gerard's vision on how to swim to the stage gay and the duck revolution, there's a lot of components that will give anyone a severe (and awesome) case of the AWWWWWS and the heart-eyes.
Another great thing is how, regardless of how recognizable Mikeyway, Patrick or Brendon might be, they're all still ducks.
Whimsical, sweet and truly funny, this is a fic worthy of a read or two.
An excerpt
Gerard swam backwards sometimes, just because he could.
He would be careering down the middle of the lake, backwards, and he would be shouting out to the other ducks, Sometimes it's okay to want to swim backwards. Sometimes it just has to be about what makes you feel good. Just remember it isn't wrong to want to swim backwards!
Ray used to think he was messing around. When he realised Gerard was genuine in his desire for all the ducks to embrace their inner swimming orientation, he stopped rolling his eyes and just started swimming closer to Gerard and Mikey, in their slipstream. Sometimes he swam backwards too, but he preferred seeing where he was going rather than where he was coming from. And he wasn't as good as Gerard at figuring out reversing, and had crashed into Gerard bottom-first on more than one occasion. It left him feeling uncomfortable, but Gerard had taken him under his wing and just said it's okay to swim forwards too, you know.
Mikey sometimes swam sideways, just because.
