Fic: The pieces don't fit but they still make a picture

Jun 29, 2011 21:46

I wrote this last week when I couldn't sleep. Because every now and again, when I can make it work, I can shape sadness into something other than rage. This has lots of unresolved feelings and not what you'd usually call a happy ending. It's about people making the best of it, and hoping it can get better.

DUUUUUUDE I MADE YOU KEYMASH! This is the best comment. I love that you love it! After I wrote the whole thing I was all "Meg, why are you even writing Spencer/Dallon? What sense does that make?" but the summary was basically the start of the idea and then I HAD to write lots of painful unrequited love story. I'm so glad that you love it so much when it started out just being my own personal angst story.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SPENCER. ;_______;

Ugh this is so hurty. Dallon has no idea. And Spencersmiiiitth.

I love Bden & Spencer's friendship here. Bden is so awesome for resisting Dallon so as not to hurt Spencer. BFF's forever. ♥

Brendon knows his priorities, that's for sure. And Dallon is clueless but you can't really blame him, he has waaaay too many things to think about.

I like writing hurty things like this. It feels sort of refreshing, actually. I should do it more often.

Spenceeeeeeer ;_;

I love everything about this! It just hurts in such a realistic way! Dallon having absolutely no idea what is really going on, Brendon worrying so much for Spencer and valuing that more, spencer being so tragic and resigned.

Just... So. Much. Love. <3

Thank you so much! It's very dear to me, this fic, because it's all sad and stuff but BRENDON IS THE BEST FRIEND IN THE WOOOORLD. And I need there to be so much more Dallon fic than there is. I'm so glad you liked it! <3

Oh! Spencer! Dallon! Brendon!

I feel sorry for them all but especially Dallon and Spencer. Joining Panic would be hard enough and then there's the performing and stage gay to deal with, and then Spencer, wanting what he can't have.

I like you didn't give them that happy ending, and that sometimes things just don't work out.

The way I see this fic, they all love each other really but sometimes things are just hard.

I like stories that don't have neat endings where everyone gets what they want. I know fandom's all about fulfilment (whether that's perfect happy endings or OTT angst/torture porn) but I like stories where things don't all work out. I just feel like I can connect to that a lot more.

I LOVE IT!!!

SPEEEEENCERRRRRRRRRR!!! DAAAALLLLOONNNN!!!! AND BRENDOOOON!!!!

*wails and wails*

Also, because I'm an idiot, I squinted really hard and found my OTP deep down inside this story. Brendon/Spencer you will forever be my unsinkable ship.

DUDE. I'm glad you could see the Brendon/Spencer! At one point in the writing of it I thought about making it Brendon/Spencer at the end, but in the end I wound up feeling determined to go with "Nobody gets a happy ending!" for this one - and I couldn't quite bring myself to write "Spencer wants Dallon who wants Brendon who wants Spencer" because it would be too ridiculous. (And even if they had a threesome in those circumstances it would kind of suck and nobody wants that!)
