    Brendon can play. He nods. He can do that.

    Summary

    “So what’s with the getup?” Ryan asked, eyeing his dressed up form. “Surely there’s not a rule about black tie on cold December evenings.”

    Brendon rolled his eyes at the subtle poking of fun again. “There’s not.” He supplied monotone. “I played piano at town hall. What’s with yours? Is there a Bowie look-alike competition I’m not aware of?” If Brendon wasn’t worried about looking stupid, he would’ve laughed at his own joke.

    Ryan scoffed and decided it was his turn to cross his arms. “There’s not.” He mocked, and Brendon smiled.

    It’s 2005, Brendon is a Mormon and Ryan wishes he was dead.

    Summary

    “There’s a picture.” That's all Vicky had said to us, just “there’s a picture,” and we had known, I had known, that it was over. Decades and decades of sanctuary, gone in an instant. A single snapshot of a moment that some faceless reporter shouldn’t have seen, but they did, and now they’re going to know.

     

    I did some math, (scary, I know,) and realized that, according to the official post-THROAM ficlets, Ryan and Brendon canonically came out in approximately the late 90s. This is just me imagining what some aspects of that might look like, considering Ryan has a lifelong commitment to being insecure and unstable in the face of danger. (Aka me using it as an angst generator to fuel the hurt/comfort machine that is my brain.)
