Pete/Patrick AU recs

[scribblinlenore]

Hey, my recent pimping has got me, like, three or four bandom converts. Watch out, world! I'm totally emboldened now. This set of recs is for inteligrrl who wanted AUs.



Pete/Patrick AUs I've read and enjoyed:

You Know by joyfulseeker
A kissing booth and twenty bucks worth of kisses.

Did You Clean Those Pants With Windex? (Because I Can Practically See Myself In Them) by adellyna
Patrick works at the local library. Pete would kind of like to hold his hand. Sweet and adorable!

I Hope He Is A Gentleman and A Mess Of Youthful Innocence offtheceiling
Patrick is 14. Pete is the soccer coach. So wrong and so right!

One Day, Robots Will Cry by lordessrenegade
Patrick the love bot!

As You Wish by lazenby
Yes, it is a Princess Bride AU, and yes, you know you want it!!

Mister, I don't believe in you by lazenby
Pete writes books. Patrick is a hooker. Pete wants to write a book about Patrick. A grittier take on hooker!fic than you usually see in fan fic.

Actually, lazenby has written a whole bunch of amazing stories, many of which are AUs. You should read them all.

The Wolf Prince by iphignia939
A delightful fairy tale, in which Pete is a werewolf prince and Patrick doesn't even realize he's lonely until they meet.

With The Moon In His Arms by miserylovedme
Merman!Pete

The Edmontosaurus Honked Plaintively by makesomelove and
Do Robotic Triceratops Dream of Electric-Bass Players? by rain_dances
Patrick is a dinosaur, and he's not going to let anyone else mate with Pete. Hilarious!

One of Nine by ficsoreal
Pete is Patrick's naked muse. I love this story just ridiculously a lot.

Put The Horse Before The Cart by theswearingkind
Patrick is Pete's mail order bride. I love this idea. I just wish there were much, much more of it. And some sex. Basically, if I could get the bandom version of astolat's No Refunds Or Exchanges, I could die happy.

Change (In the House of Pete) by lierdumoa
Pete is a changeling. He owes Patrick his first born.

and the moon in their net by iphignia939
Pete is a faerie who manages to get the entire band in trouble with the Queen of the Elflands.

Concatenation, the Birth of Babel, and Other Acoustic Rebellions by swanswan
An incredibly cool future AU in space in which only the elite few are allowed to play music. Our boys manage to become a band anyway.

also fond of hats by jezzabe
Pete's a music producer. Patrick's a studio musician who needs a flatmate. MikeyWay's an enabler.

this is my rifle, this is my gun by stereomer
Pete's a bounty hunter searching for Patrick's fraternal twin. He finds Patrick instead.

Must Have Excellent Oral Skills by souldiers
Pete is a phone sex operator, and Pete is his slightly creepy stalker. Okay, that last part isn't all that AU-ish, actually.

A Common Understanding by joyfulseeker
I already recc'd this, but it bears mentioning again. Victorian AU in space story in which Pete is a rich, but shady gentleman, and Patrick agrees to be his kept man to pay off his brother's gambling debts. JOY!



Also, here are links to my earlier recs sets:

Okay, I've gone through like every rec's set you've done and they're all awesome. The High School and early band ones are utterly adorable, and the au's are cracktastic (let's not even start on the mpreg, my love can barely outstrip my shame). I have one question though: Where's the epic Pete/Patric fics? They're meaty and satisfying, but I haven't seen the ones with a word count nearing LotR length and I want a universe I can live in for a while. Will I have to wander into Panic!fic to find it, or can you point me towards the P/P equivalent of a trek to Mt. Doom?

Okay, also, Bandom - Why are you not all over this Dollhouse concept? Is it not cracktastic enough for an AU? Where is the fic about Doll!Pete and Doll!Patrick, their overcoming brainwashing love, and their epic break for freedom? Come on, you know you want it...

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

I have to confess that I'm not watching Dollhouse, but I'm all for Pete and Patrick's love overcoming stuff!!!!!

Hmm. Okay, I can't think of any Pete/Patrick stories that fit the bill right off hand, but I'm going to consult my bandom sources. Will get back to you...

Just to clarify, Mt Doom itself is not actually required. I just thought it was odd, in a fandom that seems to specialize in 30k fic, that I haven't run into a couple of 120-300k fics.
