A/N: Huge thanks to girlpearl for excellent beta that improved the story tenfold, and to pennyplainknits and melusina for reading along as I wrote it and encouraging this madness. Also huge thanks to the wonderful bbb mods for being supremely awesome, and of course to my awesome artist and brilliant mixers for the awesome extras.

Summary: Pete Wentz is a fashion mogul with a brand new music label who gets an earful of struggling artist Patrick Stump's demo and wants to sign him. Except when he asks to see a photo of Patrick, Patrick sends him a picture of his hot roommate Mikey Way instead.

An AU based on the movie The Truth About Cats and Dogs.

( When Frank's eyes land on the guy's face it's a shock to discover it's as familiar as his own. Because it is his own. )

( Frank's hands are touching, tracing the lines of ink before he's even realised it. He's running his hands over favourite band logos, words and symbols that carry special resonance for him. )

Well, it was technically my Bandomversary yesterday, but I was too busy to post about it. But hey - I have been obsessing about MCR for an ENTIRE year now and what a year it's been! I have read a lot of awesome fic, I have written more words of prose than any other year of my entire life. I wrote TWO big bangs and actually finished them and everything (this totally would not have happened if not for dancinbutterfly and b_dsaint. ALL THE HEARTS to you.). I've met so many awesome people and amazing writers through this fandom, it's been such an incredible year.

Total word count since October 1 2009: 205 307 words (This is actual posted fic only, doesn't include all the WIPs I have lying around, which would add at least another 50k.)

HOLY CRAP. Who'd have thought a bunch of tiny, adorable rockstars would be so damn inspiring? And I'm fairly certain a large portion of that number is porn. Well, pretty damn certain.

Apparently the universe is set on being awesome today, because I got PRESENTS.

podklb just posted her podfic of This Might Get Messy, Kids. She gave me a preview of it a while back and I love it TO DEATH. It's such a great reading of the story, she really harnessed the attitude and energy I was going for, and her dialogue delivery is fantastic. Check it out, and don't forget to leave feedback!

Also serendipitously, and because the universe is being awesome to me, aneas made me the most gorgeous art and this lovely icon for my dustverse fics!

( pretty under the cut )

So there you go. Awesome presents and a whole year of Bandom! A YEAR. Jesus.

ETA! Just saw this over at mcr_unofficial ( and I can't stop drooling )

I can finally post the wonderful art b_dsaint made for No Experience Necessary


Their FAAAACES! Frankie's lip! The store! The sign in the background! Isn't it wondrous and gleeful? OH MY!


Also of the coolness is villiagegreen's Reverse Ficlet Meme. Have you done it? DO IT! Release your bunnies and get free fic!

Look at all the cool fic I got! There is porn and hilarity everywhere! And coreopsis turned her awesome Bob/Gerard into a real actual fic and it's SWEET!

I even caught some ficlet bunnies and wrote:

asshole!Leathermouth!Frank for b_dsaint
sex toy designer!Gee and nervous!Frank for slashxyouxup
and girl!gee and Lindsey BFF's with bonus Frank for liescontinue


And I really should be writing my Wave 2 BBB. Though in other news I've broken 33 000 words on that one. DUDE. I don't even know.
