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+
Brendon Urie is not the school super star. He's the geeky kid with a bad haircut and terrible taste in conversation. When summer comes around, his mother decides her son needs a new place to make friends and expand his musical talent. Upset and worried about messing up in front of his fellow classmen, Brendon endures a full two weeks of Band Camp under the watchful eyes of his section leader and cabin mate, Ryan Ross.
