A More Audacious Monster by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
verbyna.
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Spencer Smith/Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith/Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross/Jon Walker, Michael Guy Chislett/Butch Walker.
Length: 40k

Why this must be read: I am completely biased when it comes toverbyna work - but this is really amazing. It's mythical and tragic and brutally honest and bittersweet poetic and I love it to pieces. There are no good or bad guys - everyone is human (even when they aren’t) and just trying to do the best with what they have.
Some Otherworlders are born with magic; some are born human and able to withstand one of the curses. Spencer's struggle not to turn Ryan into a werewolf gets a lot more complicated after their band is signed to a demigod's label. Suddenly thrust into a web of politics he doesn't fully grasp, Spencer realizes that if he can't have Ryan, he must do whatever it takes to make sure Ryan stays human. Jon Walker, on the other hand, never had reason to doubt the rules of the Pack, especially when Ryan asks him for a favor. As Panic splits down the middle, so does the supernatural world three of its members belong to. Is the right to choose not to be turned more important that the survival of the various magical species? A demigoddess and her oracle Gerard think so, and Brendon is the only human who understands that a revolution is taking place under the radar - with Spencer at its center.
