[why_me_why_not]

Basement Romantic

Band(s): MCR, mentions of FOB and Cobra Starship
Pairing(s): Bob/Gerard, Mikey/Alicia, Frank/Jamia, Pete/Patrick/Ashlee
Word Count: just over 20,000
Rating/Warnings: rated PG for inclusion of swear words
Disclaimer: I know nothing about the personal lives of anyone mentioned; no harm intended.
Summary: MCR AU. Bob's feeling restless with his life in Chicago, but he doesn't realize what he's in for when he lets Pete talk him into going to New Jersey. A story about making changes and making friends.

A/N: This was a personal challenge for me, because I have a hard time ever actually finishing anything, but I couldn't have done this without a lot of help. Although the story ended up being something completely different than what I started out to write, credit for the original inspiration goes to thebiggest_lie. Lots of love and thanks is also owed to: irisgirl12000 for listening to me whine, encouraging me, and beta-reading; gelsey for beta-reading even though she has no idea about anything bandom; wearethestars for making me a mix to write to; reallythateasy for being a pain in my ass; and shutyourface for letting me text her bits of this and encouraging me even though she never did get the whole story. If I left anyone out, I apologize. All remaining errors, inconsistencies, and ridiculousness is all mine.

All I know about bandom is entirely from you, m'dear, and the few fics I've read. Which, oddly enough, are somewhat a part of my comfort-reads at times. Weird, huh?
