There seems to be a bad!fic theme on my flist these past few days, LOL. I'm just one of those people that can't read bad!fic for fun, unless it's MST3K'd, a la

svu_mst and the like, or when

blondiusmaximus reenacts them for me (because really, there's nothing better than having Blayne do her impersonations of Frank being fucked by a squid *___*).

Why all this bleakness and violence and unending angst, Panic fic writers? I can maybe understand death and destruction in MCR fic (although really, Gerard gleefaces over HAMSTERS FOR CHRISTMAS, why would he chop Mikey's body up into a million little pieces and then go sit in the rain naked and, like, draw a picture about it?), but can you really write Jon as a horrible bigoted high school bully who punches people when he wears slippers to m&gs? I mean, I realize this face just SCREAMS evil thoughts and a violence shimmer beneath the surface, but does it really need to be in fic? How can you look at these retarded faces and think, "Gee, I suddenly have a BURNING DESIRE to write fic where they're all drug addicted losers living in a halfway house, and Hobo has doggie AIDS!"

harriet_vane and I have been writing back and forth on a story where Ryan and Spencer decide to rob a small town bank because Spencer's sisters are being held for ransom and they don't know how else to get five million dollars, and Brendon's the poor assistant manager who doesn't have the keys to the vault, and Jon's the town's unsuspecting deputy sheriff who decides to swing by the bank to say hi to his BFF Brendon. Hostage situations occur! Ryan fires a gun that Spencer thought didn't have real bullets! Jon can't get back-up because all the rest of the cops in the area are either sick or on vacation! Somehow romantic shenanigans happen, idk.

Favorite bad!fic cliches, anyone? I'm curious! If I rule out secret mpreg, does that narrow the field too much?

DID MY SUBJECT LINE MAKE YOU THINK OF THIS?

OBVIOUSLY. EXCEPT WITHOUT THE LOVE BABIES.

I can't decide if the boys should be counselors or campers. OR OR OR, they met as campers and something ~mean happened, and now they are back as COUNSELORS and they have to work together all summer!

YES, AS CAMPERS WHEN THEY WERE, LIKE, ELEVEN OR TWELVE. And maybe Jon was with the ~cool kids, and Spencer wasn't (because Ryan was so anti-social? And Spencer never liked to leave Ryan alone?), and Jon gave in to peer pressure and maybe, idk, pushed Spencer into the lake and made him almost drown? But now they're back, seven years later or something, and Jon and Spencer are both counselors for the same age group (Ryan is in charge of the ~entertainment with Brendon).

CAN BRENDON BE IN CHARGE OF THE LITTLE KIDS' CABIN? I'm sorry, I have weaknesses. Brendon with little children is like... #1.

OMG SPENCER HAS BEEN RESENTING JON FOR YEARS, and now he has to WORK with Jon and he's totally convinced Ryan that Jon is awful, even though Brendon, who worked there last summer, says he isn't. But every time Jon tries to talk to him Spencer stomps off.

I'm SO sorry to butt in, but this idea has made me so happy. \o/

OF COURSE HE IS, MY BAD. He's in charge of the littlest ones, the ones who are away from home for the first time and get homesick really easily. Brendon has a whole collection of songs called "Songs for Homesick Kids" that he keeps on stand-by to sing at night.

JON HAS FELT GUILTY FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. And he really wants to make it up to Spencer for being a douchebag as a kid, but Spencer won't even talk to him at all, unless it's absolutely necessary for work. He tries to go about it through Ryan, but it's not much better. At least Ryan just pretends he's not there, where as Spencer stomps off.

Jon knows he can't win over Spencer directly so he wages a campaign to charm Ryan, bringing him snacks, singing him songs, being super, SUPER nice, until Ryan kind of can't take it anymore. And then Jon and Ryan get into a big yelling fight over Ryan in the middle of Brendon's singing circle, and he just puts his hands over the little kids' ears and pretends not to hear them. Spencer's all "LEAVE HIM ALONE," and Jon's like, "NOT UNTIL YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF." And Spencer's like, "FINE, YOU CAN HAVE THIRTY SECONDS, GO." And Jon's all, "NO, YOU MEET ME BY THE LAKE AND I GET A FULL HOUR."

Brendon is giving them sad looks and the kids are watching them all wide-eyed and fascinated, so Spencer huffs and says, "Fine, GO." And waves his hand toward the lake.

But they don't really need an hour, because Jon talks really fast, since he's afraid if he doesn't get it all out Spencer will just walk. He tells him he was a stupid kid just trying to fit, but he knows he really hurt Spencer's feelings and he's sorry, truly, and can't they just be friends, please? He looks at Spencer so earnestly, Spencer can feel his resolve melting. Damn those stupid puppy eyes.

"All right, truce." He holds his hand out to shake, and a HUGE relieved grin spreads over Jon's face. He grabs Spencer's hand and says, "Thank you," all soft-like, and Spencer suddenly feels his cheeks heat. What the hell?

AND THEN THERE'S A DANCE ONE NIGHT, AND ONE OF THE GIRLS' COUNSELORS, CASSIE, ASKS JON TO GO WITH HER, AND SPENCER FROWNS A LOT.

Ryan's like, "Why aren't you HAPPY? He's gonna leave you alone finally?" and Spencer can't explain it, and just ends up stomping around a lot. He is a horrible chaperone and snaps at all the kids all night and finally storms out when Jon and Cassie are slow dancing.

And then Jon totally decorates his cabin with Christmas lights and wakes him up with Brendon's boom box and asks him to dance.

I HAVE A GOOGLE DOC OPEN RIGHT NOW, FYI.

...can someone get a makeover before the Big Dance? ♥__♥

YYYYYYYYYYY BRENDON HELPS JON DRESS NICE. WITH REAL SHOES. \o/

AWWWWWWWWW. ALSO, A TALENT SHOW! AND THE COUNSELORS PARTICIPATE TOO!

I'M CALLING THE CAMP "CAMP HIDEAWAY". IS THAT TOO CHEESY?

OMG, THAT'S PERFECT. <33

\o/!!

ONE NIGHT ALL THE COUNSELORS HAVE A PARTY AND MAYBE THERE'S BEER INVOLVED, AND SPENCER ENDS UP KISSING SOMEONE NOT JON AND JON SADFACES. THE NEXT DAY HE IGNORES SPENCER, WHO DOESN'T REMEMBER MUCH FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND IS CONFUSED.

YES OF COURSE. And also there is a long and extended PRANK WAR, which started off okay when they hated each other, but now due to ~conflicted feelings Spencer can't decide if he should do mean pranks or nice ones. He just doesn't mean to get caught and end up hiding in a closet with Jon.

It's AWKWARD in the closet, and Jon's not saying anything, which normally wouldn't bother Spencer, but ugh, he can't stand the silence. So he finally says, "What's with you? Why are you giving me the cold shoulder?" The closet is too dark for him to see Jon's face well, and he hears Jon say carefully, "It's nothing. Just don't really have anything to say to you," and that hurts. Which...it shouldn't since it's not like they're, y'know, a thing, but. If they're friends they should still talk about this shit, right?

"I thought you were over that," Spencer snots, and Jon snots back, "YOU were the one who came to camp with a problem with ME," and Spencer starts to yell "YOU ALMOST DROWNED ME AS A KID," but Jon refuses to listen to that again, plus, they are going to get caught and then Urie will win the prank warn -- he ALWAYS wins the prank war -- so Jon shuts Spencer up.

By kissing him.

WHAT? IT WAS ALL HE COULD THINK OF AT THE MOMENT.

UGH, AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE REALLY KISSED? BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO TIMES WEREN'T REALLY KISSING, IT WAS MORE THEIR MOUTHS SORT OF BRUSHING TOGETHER RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE INTERRUPTED THEM. And since they're stuck in a dark, quiet closet, they can pretty much kiss all they want.

"You really suck," Spencer mumbles into Jon's mouth, and Jon mumbles back, "Stop talking," and kisses him a little deeper.
