What if you had the chance to change someone's past...would you change it for the better or let it be? What if you woke up in the year 2003 and met an under appreciated boy on the road to success, yet he didn't know it...would you rewrite his history for the sake of his happiness or let him carry on? Hi, my name is Elise. In this timeline, Panic! at the Disco never made it big...and I'm the reason why. (Caution: strong adolescent/young adult language, deep subject matters, early 2000s slang. I don't do trigger warnings so...there.) This is story is a work of fiction. Even though I fact check certain details, this story is still just a Ryan Ross Fanfiction. Any and all similarities in that occur in this story and our reality are purely coincidental...that being said, hope you enjoy. :) (December 15th, 2018: Ranked #1 for #afycso) (January 14th, 2019: Ranked #1 for #ryro) (December 9th 2020: Ranked #1 for #prettyodd)

"If it's insanity, brand me infatuated." Leah Greene doesn't think much about the trip to California with her best friend until a hotel room mixup with the Arctic Monkeys and hollywood drama chasing her tail for it. Alex doesn't think much about the next few gigs in California after his recent breakup with Arielle. But after a rather awkward meeting between him and a fan, things are going to be changed between him and the band forever. [THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL. THIS IS A BETTER VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL.] IMPORTANT NOTE I left Wattpad years ago because suddenly I had a lot more pressure from school, and looked back on this story. I cringed so fucking much, but it brought back so many memories so I wanted to completely fix it. It won't get as many reads as the original but I wanted to put this out here anyways. Better version complete with: - NEW scenes - Foreshadowing - Realistic pacing - Grammar! - Better dialogue - Imagery - A standard (past) tense - Cut filler scenes - American spelling since Leah is American (even though I'm not) - Edited storyline - No confusing POV's - Fixed plot holes - Prior research - Actual common sense Thanks for all the support!
