Title: The Present and the Distance
Author: lolab
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Panic: Ryden-heavy, hints of everyone, eventual GSF, a bit of Brendon/Shane
Word Count: ~153,000
Warnings: Minor character death, violence, angst. Also, angst. Did I mention ANGST.
Disclaimer: They belong to Pete each other the island themselves, not me. Fiction, I hope to god. Any similarities to Lost are incidental, as I have never seen the show.
Summary: There is no way to summarize this that doesn't sound ridiculous, so I leave you with my original cheesy!blurb(tm): There are 17,508 islands in Indonesia, about 6,000 of which are inhabited. On August 31, 2008, returning from an Australian tour in the middle of the year's most violent storm to date, a plane carrying Panic at the Disco loses power, veers off course, and crashes into one of the remaining 11,508 islands. This is their story.

Date: 2008-10-04 10:42 am (UTC)I have to agree with everyone that this is an EPIC read. I can't wait for the next chapter, even if I do have to read it at some god-forsaken time in the morning. :D

Date: 2008-10-08 01:59 pm (UTC)To start it off, Konstantine. Just for that, I love you. A lot. :)
I discovered this some time last night just before I had to go to bed (how typical), but I only had time to read the prologue and the first chapter. Since I had to get to Uni extra early to find a parking spot (it's really crazy these days), I woke up this morning and thought I'd have time to read some (if not all) of it before my first class.
So I just printed the rest off (I hope you don't mind) and took it with me. I parked and sat there in my car with the papers propped up against the wheel. Which in turn made me late for class. lol
Not that I minded and not that it wasn't worth it! Because it totally was!! I can't wait for more. :D

Date: 2008-11-11 02:51 am (UTC)i'm not sure if i'm allowed to write on here, but you know everyone else is so fuck it, i am too. plus, what i am about to say is just so freaking irritating that it could only happen to me so i have to share it with you:
FUCKING JOKE!
okay, so i totally came on here to check if you had chapter twelve up yet, because i miss pwf a lot.
no i'm totally not obsessed, what made you think that?and my SLUT of a computer is such a fucking TEASE and it kind of made it look like the "chapter twelve" selection on the chapter list was click-able (lol me and my technical lingo-speak. i fail miserably at life) and i like freaked and was all "WEEE! LIFE IS WONDERFUL AND FULL OF HAPPINESS AND JOY!" and then i realized that i am a moron and it wasn't, in fact, clickable. my computer is just a fucking WHORE and decided to play tricks on my eyes and give the ILLUSION that chapter twelve was clickable.so now i am depressed. and sniffly and cold. because i'm still sick.
my. life. is. such. a. joke.
brb gotta go be emo!bilvy.

Date: 2008-11-17 02:23 pm (UTC)The parts the broke me the most (other than the deaths... cause OMG TOM! OMG SHANE!) (Seriously though, watching Jon not being able to except that Tom was dying was tormenting) was the dance/text message moments between Brendon and Ryan. I mean, Ryan Ross you unbelievable tease! They were gorgeous and precious and so real in those moments.
This is so full of epic awesome that I can't even name it all. InLove!BrendonandRyan though is bound to be squishy and adorable. Though I am kinda waiting for the "Shane killed himself for me" freak out from Brendon. Though, maybe it won't come... hopefully... but it could and it makes me nervous.
Okay, I have to do work stuff now, but seriously you guys, it's awesome. Thank you!

Date: 2008-11-17 02:30 pm (UTC)hmmm, i can maybe see brendon having a freak out at one point... i hadn't planned on it, but yeah, that could be a good idea.
