Smoking too much and being alone was something he was tremendously good at. Using big words and confusing his peers was something that he enjoyed. One of the few things that could bring a sly smirk to the corners of his lips. Everybody had been concerned about Ryan Ross at least once. Everybody but a small town Mormon, that seemed more fascinated by the train wreck than the forensics catering to the casualties.

It's been 1 year since the split. Brendon isn't taking things to well, even with the help of Spencer, he still feels like a big piece of himself was taken out. So he takes matter into his own hands and deals with the problem but only to find out that it's not as easy as it seems.

So Brendon has a stutter. The thing about him is that he tends to always be a failure in front of the cute boy with a briefcase. He tries to be smart in their english class to impress the boy, but ends up making a fool out of himself with his geeky perks. Those big black framed glasses can't exactly help him see around his crush.

Every year the school hosts a game. Find all the objects and you win. Brendon has played for the last three years, this is his last. Ryan is a newbie and is lost. When handcuffed together for the games, the two must fight it out to win the game.

sad to the core

Basically a "we both got kicked out of our rooms because our roommates are having sex so now we're standing in the hallway avoiding each other" au. College Ryden. What more could you possibly want.

The sex industry was a dangerous place, everyone knew that. Sure, it had its perks, but for glamour model Ryan Ross, the only perk was being asked to partake in a photoshoot with gorgeous pornstar Brendon Urie, a man he both hated and admired. That single photoshoot might just have been the detonation that started everything: the lies, the affairs, the heartbreak, the scheming - in order to stay sane, you had to keep your hands to yourself. And for someone like Brendon, it would be the hardest thing he'd ever had to do. Because when you fall, you bring everyone else down with you. "How can you be okay with yourself knowing that you caused all...this?" "I'm never okay with myself, Ryan. Ever." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
