Title: Decisions

exmptfromsanity
Word Count: 4,589
Rating: PG-13 for some language
Pairing: Ian centric. Not really pairing him off, unless you want to squint at some certain pairing.
Summary: Ian has made some really tough decisions in his life. They've lead to some of the worst and some of the best experiences of his twenty years. Ultimately, he has to live with them, good or bad.
Disclaimer: Ian and the other boys do not belong to me.
Author’s Note: This fulfills both of my challenge prompts. I had stories planned for both of them but it turned into this after seeing those blog posts and tweets by the boys. Honestly, I won't pretend to know how Ian feels about what's going on, or why he made the decisions that he did. This is just fiction.
Also, I swear word limits keep getting shorter, so this is in two parts.

exmptfromsanityWord Count: 15,329
Rating: PG-13 for some (everyday) language
Pairing: Ian/Johnson, with a little bit of Cash/Alex, and some barely there Patrick/Pete and William/Gabe (and a few surprises).
Summary: This is what the off-season looks like for the Chicagoland circus. Ian’s not sure what to do with this.
Disclaimer: Umm… Ian’s hair may look like a lions mane but I don’t see him training circus cats in his free time. The boys belong to themselves. I only wish this were true.
Author’s Note: I’ve been working on this on and off since I wrote the first one which can be found (link). Unfortunately, student teaching made me way too busy. Here it is.
Also, the original story can be found here

exmptfromsanity Rating: PG-13/ borderline R just to be safe.
Pairing: Cash/Singer
Summary: Alex and Cash have been part of the circus together since they were fourteen years old. The problem is, eventually things change. Alex isn't so sure that he can handle this.
Disclaimer: Title and cut belong to Jack's Mannequin. I don't own the characters in this story and this probably didn't happen, though I'm pretty sure if Johnson did have an elephant he would use it to terrorize Cash...
Authors Note: Circus Cab!fic. It's AU so there's no real excuse to call him Singer...thus Alex. Huge thanks to my betas

Summary: One day in Seattle Ryan gets some bad news. Luckily the people he cares about most are there for him.

Notes: No beta to thank, but I fully blameaddandsubtract for getting me into Panic and bandom. If anyone would like to volunteer their beta services it would make me ecstatic. Also, the timeline is most defiitely screwed up, but this is fiction so we shall ignore it.

Notes/spoilers: Completely AU, takes place when Michael and Ben are high school and college age. I know it's been a while. I got absolutely no writing done while I was in Ireland, but Easter Break yeilded a lot of free time. I'm not sure how the rest of the semester is going to go but I'm working on it, and if I spend my summer at school more work should get done.

Both are surprised to find out how much they have in common. (Chapter 7 - A lot happens. Most importantly, Ben has a fight with his parents. give you one guess who he goes to for support.)
Notes/spoilers: Completely AU, takes place when Michael and Ben are high school and college age. (***The only reason this chapter is up so quickly is that it was already half written. Hopefully I'll be able to finish one more in the next 20 days because I won't have computer access for my entire spring break.)

Summary: Hunter is turning 18 tomorrow and he can't sleep. He's too busy thinking about how much everything has changed and how much he owes to certain people in his life. (chapter 3 - Jimmy runs away and recieves his punishment in an unexpected way when he gets home.)
Warnings: mentions of drug addiction, alcoholism, child prostitution, etc. (Like with my other stuff nothing is all that graphic, but if you don't like it don't read it.)
Notes/spoilers: My own point of view of Hunter's life thus-far. Probably missed some canon facts though.
