Hi. This is part one of the long-promised MCR/FOB/P!@tD/William Beckett Regency AU. There isn't much else to say, except I'm going to go ahead and warn you that Mikey and Gerard are girls. Other than that, and the Regency thing, and the fact that they're the daughters of a wealthy Lord, it's exactly like usual. (To say nothing of the stablehands.)

They asked for Girl!Gerard/Patrick, geek bonding. I hope I didn't stray too far from that. It was my first attempt at genderbending. Eep.

It's all Pete Wentz's fault, the matching t-shirts.

The first time Bob ever sees Trish, he can't actually see her at first. He's twenty, home from school for Thanksgiving, and his buddy Kyle drags him out to a club to see some band that sucks.

Pete wakes up feeling a little displaced in his own body.

Bren really can't be gay. She's a cheerleader! So she doesn't know what she's doing at this silly camp for homosexuals.

Pete sometimes wanted to form an "only-boy-in-the-band" club. He could ask Ryan to join.

You know what I was thinking this morning that I've never seen, but would BE THE BEST THING IN ALL THE WHOLE WORLD? girl!Patrick/Bob. Either always a girl or genderswitch. homg. That was October 31, 2007. It's taken me four months, and nearly 17,000 words, but I wrote it. And now you should read it.

And Mikey just says, very calmly because she's been practicing, "I'm having a baby, you're the father, I'm keeping it."

Always been girls AU. So, the point is, sometimes Mikey forgets she’s a girl and it’s really not that big a deal until she meets Petra "Call Me Pete" Wentz.

Spencer has always known there was something off about the DecayDance family. It doesn’t bother him, there were times when he’s felt inexplicably more comfortable around them than out in public. This doesn’t stop him from thinking well, shit when he rounds the Fall Out Boy bus to see Pete plastered to the side of the bus, hands and mouth thoroughly occupied by a short, and unmistakably female person, then have Patrick look up at him.

As good as you get: "The problem was, really, Kris Allen was a tease." If You Can't See Where It Keeps Its Brain: "The Sorting Hat has its own agenda." I Woke Up In Love This Morning: He was hazy, half-asleep and incredibly comfortable and still half-lost in the most amazing dream. Five Reasons Xander Harris Hates Pete Wentz: If the Bandom'verse and the Buffy'verse all occupied the same 'verse, this is exactly what would have happened. red, red, gold: "Her name is Tasha Stark, and you won’t break her."
