ALL CREDITS GO TO "fullcollapse" on livejournal for this absolutely beautiful story. Mostly AU, high school age setting. With the help of his friends, Ryan has just learned how to like life. Brendon hasn't yet found such luck. This is a story about strong relationships, trust, not wanting to be alone, and holding hands. There's a river, and just like its never-ending path to the ocean, some things just go on forever. Sometimes you need someone more than you need yourself, and sometimes, that's okay. Rating: R. Word count: 200,000+

- In which Ryan is unhappy, poor, and obsessed with his dog. Brendon Urie moves into Ryan's house against his will, and fills the whole place with the scent of berry flavored bubble gum, which Ryan tries to counter with cigarette smoke, absolute angst, and the sound of him screaming at his typewriter. "But I have no doubt, one day the sun will come out." [Based off of Coldplay's album "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends"]

Just a bunch of Ryden
