the present and the distance [master post.]

[behindthec]

 

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.
Notes (July '08): PLANEWRECKFIC HAS ARRIVED (some may also recognize this from the coconut milk/lube jokes).

dude, listen. if you got an LJ you could add me as a friend and then you'd always know when i update. you're doing this the hard way. ;)

[(Anonymous)]

i know. dun worry, though, i'm overr itt. it was late last night and i was suffering from insomnia and nighttime depression. it causes me to go crazy and get upset at little things hahaha. :)

maybe i'll just make an lj SIMPLY for the purpose of knowing when you update, then. i mean, i'm not sure if i could be any more of a loser by doing that, but yaknow, whatever.

feel special. i am creating a lj because of YOU and you ONLY. if that doesn't boost your ego into the next century i don't know what will. so, love me forever. <3

and, like, idk. maybeeee, possibly, eventually i MIGHT, at some point, CONSIDER posting something i wrote.
