Why this must be read:
This fic is what got me into the Brian and Bob pairing. It's a slow build fic, but it offers such wonderful characterization for everyone, including Bob. I think the summary sums up the fic perfectly and why it must be read: In which Bob Bryar gets a real job, grows up a little, puts the drums aside, becomes a touring sound engineer, drinks too much, repeatedly goes against his better judgment, hooks up with Jepha, gets sucked in by the earnestness of My Chem's message, is dumped by Jepha, joins MCR, develops an inconvenient crush on Brian Schechter, nearly dies, and says something he's been meaning to say for awhile.
