Not A Big Deal - lovelypoet (NC-17)

Fandom: BANDOM - Fall Out Boy
Pairing: Pete/Patrick
Length: 3000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lovelypoet
Author Website: None that I could find.
Summary: It's not a big deal anymore, it's really not. (Telepathy fic)

Why this must be read: Despite there not being anything supernatural about bandom canon (confirmed anyway, but I've always had my suspicions about the Way brothers...), the fandom is rife with supernatural fic. Bodyswap, genderswap, vampires, sudden appearance of wings, etc etc. The trick is seperating the good stuff from the bad stuff, and this is definitely one of the good ones. It stays very true to the characters and it's a reasonable transition from friends-with-telepathic-connection to friends-who-are-in-love.

Plus, [livejournal.com profile] lovelypoet comes highly recommended by pretty much everyone (I'm sure we all remember Something Better), and this fic is no exception to her excellent track record. If you like telepathy, you'll like this. I promise.



Selected Excerpts from the Pete and Patrick Communications Commission Rules:

1. Don't answer out loud in public. Really.

2. Patrick is not to psychically earworm Pete with horrible songs, with "horrible" defined as anything Pete would get beat up for if he started humming it aloud. ("So, no New Kids On the Block?" "Not unless you want to die.")

7. Radio silence required during sex, masturbation, in-depth fantasizing, and bathroom trips. ("Prude." "Freak.")

10. Pete cannot just "beam" lyrics into Patrick's head without also providing them in some sort of written form. ("But it would save time!" "No. It really wouldn't.")

15. No shutting down the signal for more than eight hours at a time. ("Eight hours?" "Eight hours." "I'm not going to do it again, Patrick." "Just check in. I will too.")

20. Patrick is allowed to ask if Pete's taking his medication if the messages start getting significantly weirder than usual, but only once a week.

21. Pete is allowed to tell Patrick to leave the studio and go get some fucking sleep, but only if he hasn't made any progress in hours, is looping through the same few notes endlessly and it's after midnight.

26. Try not to pay attention to the weird dreams that slip through sometimes ("Seriously, a matador, Pete?" "Fuck off, you're not supposed to be looking at that stuff." "Yeah, but... MATADOR?")

32. No waking each other up on purpose out of boredom. Ever.
