The Heart Rate of a Mouse was one of many beautifully written fanfictions (in Ryan's pov, too) by Anna Green, beggarsnotes on LJ in around 2008-10. They are so hard to find, excluding THROAM, which can also be found on ao3. I have a lot of them saved and I know people want to read them.. so here. ALL RIGHTS TO ANNA GREEN, BEGGARSNOTES.

Ryan Ross is a world-famous film director. When he needs to hire a photographer to take pictures for his new movie, young wannabe photographer Brendon Urie steps onto the scene. They have polar opposite personalities, but when they run out of gas in the middle of Death Valley, they'll have to learn to work together if they want to survive. ----------- so I've re-edited this entire story (it's taken about four hours wowowoww) and fixed parts that I wasn't happy with or parts with continuity issues that didn't make sense (like all of a sudden brendon has glasses in chapter five? what's up with that, past self?) but yes! not much has changed but if you ever want to re-read or if this is your first time reading, read this one! the first one is mainly there to remind myself how far i've come as a writer, even though it's only been a few short months. also, I still love reading all of your comments on that one; they still make me smile :) love you all!!!

Brendon was a boy in love. Ryan was the pitcher for the school baseball team. {Just a ryden baseball au I thought would be cute!} Brendon's POV
