slashxmistress | Ultimate Fic recs !

Mostly for

imafyrebyrd because I am doing my very best to corrupt her with bandslash love! (As well as show off how really, really talented my bandslash peeps are!) but also for my lurking gf ;O and anyone who's interested really.

My ULTIMATE bandslash reading list - the ones you just gotta read. There is also tons of fun stuff in my memories- but these are the ones that took my breath away. They're mostly Ryden and all Panic! just because that's what brought me to bandslash and therefore what I've read the most of. Happy Reading!!!

First there is Wednesday Night Boys
This is THE one. The story to rule them all. I have to reread this every once in awhile and it still makes me cry. It is the reason that Jon/Ryan/Brendon is my OT3 and it seriously blows my mind. It's an AU- our boys are rentboys in SF- Ironically I almost didn't read it because that's usually so not my thing but thank the gods I did!

Then while we're at Arsenic's site go read
The Quickest Way to Ruin a Friendship Not as long as WNB but damn- will need tissues here too.

Iron, Neon Lights, and Weed
This one almost bumped Wednesday Night Boys off the top spot! So, so very close. Another AU- "Brendon wants a record deal at all cost. He joins the Las Vegas underground music scene to get it, but ends up distracted when he falls for Ryan, a scene king with little interest in attachments." Will need an entire box of tissues.

Infinite, Sometimes
Is this bandslash you say? There's no sex, no kissing- just a lot of hand holding and just about the most amazing love story I've read. Tissues a must!

Grace
What can I say about Grace? Idk- words fail. It's AU Brendon's a movie star, Ryan a screenwriter, but it's SO much more than that. Just go and flail at the sheer genius of

flash_indie and read her other stuff while you're there too - it's worth it. Buy stock in Kleenex.

A Hotter Touch, A Better F...Than Any Girl You'll Ever Meet
Just a wonderful story of love and sacrifice and confusion and learning to be who you really are and I could go on and on - but just go read it already! Again - tissues.

The Sun on Your Face First of all, I cannot say enough about

ryrolovesbden she seriously rocks my face! This story is incredible and it is a prime example of my biggest weakness - stories where one boy is broken/unloveable, and the other boy loves him anyway. After you read this go ahead and read So Many Voices, So Little Medication She really outdid herself with that one. OMG -really your time would not be wasted if you read everything she's written.

Your Heart, My Hands The Valentines Day fic - no valentine could ever compare- read it- trust me.

Here There Be Dragons
Time travel fic! Forget the paradox- this is just so...guh!

Ballad For The Lost Romantics

and it's follow up:
Through The Looking Glass
Unbelievable angel! AU - Tissues, tissues, and more tissues.

This is by NO MEANS an exhaustive list - this is just the tip of the iceberg- but it get's ya started.
