My Versailles

This is an *ultimate* Tryst Theory jam. Thank you, anon, for giving me the excuse to shout about:

 Fourth of July

Insane lyrics meta screaming below the cut!

 (You and I were fire)

This opening alone tells us about the intensity, vibrancy, heat, and all-consuming nature of the relationship. I hear this song as a retrospective on the pre-hiatus trysting that the Petericks got up to. This is one of the songs that was instrumental in convincing me of Tryst Theory, actually, instead of just Star-Crossed Queerplatonic Soulmate Longing. Trysting that each of them pretended meant nothing outside of sex, because each of them were so deep in their own issues that they thought the other would never possibly want more from them than that. (And Pete especially would never ask for it: he believed he would ruin Patrick, like he believed he ruined every other thing. And Patrick? Well, Pete Wentz will kiss anyone. He’ll do anything on stage, say anything to scandalize reports. He lives on rumors about himself, the nastier the better. He’ll touch anyone, say anything, spin any sincerity and fling it like a weapon, like a show, out into the audience. Pete Wentz is the King of Doesn’t Mean It.)

 It was the Fourth of July

You and I were fireworks

That went off too soon

And I miss you in the June gloom, too

The time anchor of summer is meaningful, I think: summer is the time of touring, especially in early days when they slept in vans and had to work around school schedules. Summer is used often by Pete as a metaphor that encompasses the ease and liminality of Van Days Peterick. Summer, too, is holy to us—a time when things don’t count, don’t have consequences. The free-for-all before autumn’s reset. Holy, and inevitably short-lived.

But more meaningful than summer is the concept of what a firework is. Bright, intense, thrilling, dangerous. A man-made explosion of pure entertainment. A firework that went off too soon, then, is Pete saying—we were perfect together and we didn’t know it. I was too much of a mess back then, and you were too insecure. If we went off now, we would be a showstopping fucking finale. We would tear the sky apart. We’d be the new sun. But instead our bodies found each other when we were too young to bear the meaning of it. We went off too soon.

It was the Fourth of July

You and I were fireworks

I said I’d never miss you

But I guess you never know

May the bridges I have burned light my way back home

On the Fourth of July

I love the play of ‘I said I’d never miss you/but I guess you never know’ because it shows us so many complexities in such an elegant, concise lyric. 1) Pete believing and NEEDING to believe, telling himself like he’s telling Patrick, that it means nothing—that he’ll never miss it. The act of I said and how that doesn’t mean I meant. 2) Pete saying it as a true prediction but being wrong—I guess you never know how these things will play out. 3) Pete saying it and knowing it was a lie, and Patrick being the you who never knows. Aaaaah, this song is so crunchy and good.

And these burning bridges—this is not the first time Pete’s written about them! (Tell That Mick: Stop burning bridges and start driving off them; I’m A Lawyer: I’ll take my last chance to burn a bridge or two. And let’s not even get into his mentions of the burning of cities…) It is amazingly restorative here, though, and a tell that the song is written by post-hiatus Pete: he’s using the bridges to find his way back to that which is most important to him, that which he attempted with his bad behavior to scorch off the face of the earth. He’s invoking a prayer, here, that he finds his way back to Patrick. Because Patrick is his home.

I’ll be as honest as you let me

I miss your early morning company

If you get me

You are my favorite “what if”

You are my best “I’ll never know”

‘I’ll be as honest as you let me’ shows us so, so clearly how much of the enforced secrecy around trysting, and how much of Pete’s perception of why the trysting was secret, is tied up in Patrick’s shyness and the ‘no-homo’ that appeared some time in between Van Days and Meteoric Rise To Fame Days—Patrick went from being comfortable with jokes about queerness, about him and Pete, physical touching, and styling himself with certain queer elements, esp. with effeminate physical postures and things like the infamous Guys Gone Wild shirt, to being markedly uncomfortable with those things. Like the scrutiny of sudden fame or feedback he received from their management indicated something about these expressions was unacceptable or frightening. Anyway, it shows that Pete has been holding his tongue in part because he doesn’t think Patrick would want to be seen with or associated with him in that way. That Patrick has been the onus for secrecy. And Patrick, meanwhile—he may have just been thinking none of it was real to Pete.

‘I miss your early morning company, if you get me’ is pretty obviously about waking up next to your tryst-partner. What-if/I’ll never know kills me, actually physically kills me, on a daily basis. It highlights how they never tried to have a relationship for real, never gave it an actual honest-hearted try. They just fucked behind the scenes when they could and pretended it meant nothing to either of them. I’M NOT CRYING, THERE’S JUST SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CONTACT LENS

This configuration speaks to other lines, too, like favorite mistake and you were my picket fence.

And I’m starting to forget

Just what summer ever meant to you

What did it ever mean to you?

It feels so real in the moment, but as soon as they’re apart, it’s easy to doubt that the other person was sincere. That they were present emotionally. While they’re together, Pete is so, so sure Patrick feels it too. That it’s love. That it must be love. Then, in the after, Patrick is so closed-off and distant, Pete convinces himself he was imagining it all. Here’s posthiatus Pete, saying: it meant something to me. Did it ever mean anything to you? Were we ever friends, or were we always more?

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it

I just got too lonely, lonely

In between being young and being right

You were my Versailles at night

‘Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it’ could be posed conversationally—as another speaker giving an answer to the last verse’s question. Pete does this sometimes: Alone Together and Twin Skeletons are two immediate examples that spring to mind, where the songs are framed conversationally and could be heard/read as call and answer. He does it quite a bit in Van Days writing, usually framed conveniently in actual quotation marks, too. So he could be quoting Patrick back to himself here.

It could also be Pete trying to walk it back, voicing again what he said then to minimize the impact of the trysting, to give Patrick an out if posthiatus Pete is overwhelming him. He could be talking about ending the tryst and the resolution that they could never be together and indicating that that is what he didn’t mean any of. Or he didn’t mean it all the times he said it wasn’t real, that it was just fucking.

My Versailles at night, though—that is. That is some unequivocable queer-ass, decadent devotion. That is some Oscar Wilde level bullshit. I could do a whole post of screaming just about that, gilt and gold and impossible and unfair, a shame and a glory of historical proportion. It pulls up the masculine-gendered ‘mon cherie’ that appears elsewhere in the album. It lets us know this is the same person Pete’s writing about through the album. And Patrick speaks French, guys. That masculine mon is not a fucking mistake.

My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars

Again and again ‘til I’m stuck in your head

This is pretty clearly about Pete’s job of rehashing all his old pain to write songs that get stuck in our heads. It’s also in conversations with you were the song stuck in my head. It’s a clue that he’s digging into the past, as he so often is in his amazingly recursive relationship with himself.

Had my doubts, but I let them out

You are the drought

And I’m the holy water you have been without

REMEMBER IN THE KIDS AREN’T ALRIGHT WHERE PETE WRITES, ‘stay thirsty like before?’ REMEMBER GUYS DO YOU

It also says: I don’t doubt anymore. I do love you. Holy water, guys. Altar boys. The thing that saves you. The pure thing. The only thing to quench that thirst. Uggggggggh. The Save Rock and Roll vid shows us all we need to know and more about Pete’s idea of holiness and how the band fits into that.

And all my thoughts of you

They could heat or cool the room

And no, don’t tell me you cried

Oh, honey, you don’t have to lie

Running hot or cold on someone, the trysty flip-flopping of I love you I can’t live without you/it’s cool bro it’s just sex it doesn’t mean anything. And it shows how at that time, and through the writing of this album, Pete doubted whether it meant anything to Patrick. Whether Patrick was there with him, inside the feeling, or if he was alone.

I wish I’d known how much you loved me

I wish I cared enough to know

I’m sorry every song’s about you

The torture of small talk with someone you used to love

This is it. This line is the real fucking killer. This is the final nail in my tryst theory shaped coffin. ‘I wish I’d known how much you loved me.’ This is Pete acknowledging, finally: I think it did mean something to you. And I was so wrapped up in myself, my own performative suffering, my own myth, that I didn’t even care enough to see it. I was just convinced someone like you could never love me, that I’d hurt you if you did, that I’d ruin you. I was so obsessed with myself that I didn’t see it, didn’t know. How different I would have been, had I seen it.

(Remember that interview where Pete says “In my twenties I was the most selfish person I’ve ever known” [paraphrase]? Hahahahahahaha so many cries)

And then: ‘I’m sorry every song’s about you.’ This alone gives so much weight to the idea that tryst theory is supported. Who else in Pete’s life has he been writing about all this time? No matter how intense his young relationships were, do we really think he’s still writing to some ex-girlfriend all these years later when he’s so happy with Meagan and has such a beautiful family? No, he’s writing to someone close to him, someone he cannot and will not forget about. He’s writing to the same person he’s always been writing to, on one level or another.

He’s writing to Patrick.

‘The torture of small talk with someone you used to love.’ Because isn’t it killing him, to carry on everyday, to pick up the phone during the hiatus and call Patrick, to carry on like he hasn’t finally grown and matured enough to be able to make good on the wild bets of his young heart? To act as if he isn’t in love with Patrick. To act as if he never was. Isn’t it torture?

ISN’T THIS ENTIRE BAND AND THIS ENTIRE ALBUM ABSOLUTE T O R T U R E

  And that is the Official Tryst Theory reading of Fourth of July! I hope it satisfied your angst-itching needs. What’s next, True Believers? I need something to rant about so I don’t dry up and die before Mania drops.

THANK YOU LOVE YOU BYE

joshler au #-22

(prompt: story must include a necromancer, gold, and a typewriter. savannah’s au following the same prompt is #22)

tyler joseph is the writer of the next great american novel. he has everything he needs in order to craft the next great story that will make him kurt vonnegut junior: a small apartment in new york city, a string of one or two manic pixie hookups he can lament about if he reaches a writers block, some whiskey from trader joes, and a vintage inspired typewriter he bought from amazon.com, part of which with the $25 amazon gift card he got from his aunt for christmas.

tyler was doing good until he started getting complaints from his neighbor. it started with little notes slid under his door like “hi, it’s your next door neighbor- the walls are very thin so if you can move your typewriter(?) to another area that isn’t the wall conjoining our apartments, or refrain from typing at 3am, that would be greatly appreciated. thank you!! :^) -av” and notes of similar natures continued to be slid under his door over the course of eight months

however, tyler could not do that for if he were to craft the next great american novel then he could not force inspiration to strike, he would let it strike when it struck; for example, at 4am after he makes his semi-regular midnight smoothie that he likes to call “the Joseph” and passes out, only to wake up at 12:10 with multiple ideas and then writes nonstop until 9am, then passing out again

THE JOSEPH

ingredients:

-4 bottles of “five hour energy” -gatorade -mountain dew code red -strawberries -daily multivitamin he forgot to take -some advil -cut peaches -whatever gelato/ice cream he has in the freezer -whatever coffee is still in the machine -lots of ice

steps:

-blend until smooth -drink in under a minute and then pass out -write the next great american novel

due to his intense writing process, his neighbors notes went from “please stop typing so loud -av!!” to “i’m literally going to murder you. this is a literal death threat”

tyler couldn’t let that happen. so he looked up in the yellow pages for a “pete wentz” whompst he met at a bar once and drunkenly told him that he could “call whenever he wanted for like whatever” before promptly vomiting on his own shoes and bursting into tears. upon calling pete, who did not remember who tyler was, but was friendly none the less. upon tyler saying that he’s in a pinch of trouble due to his neighbor trying to kill him so he would like to disappear” pete said that his friend could potentially help, so tyler wrote down the address pete gave him and went over to the address immediately.

tyler was surprised to see that the address he was given was a store called “gold 4 ca$h” which was a gold and pawn shop store that he would occasionally see infomercial style ads for at 2am when he stared into the on but muted TV directly in the eyeline of his writing desk. he entered to see a vaguely punk guy manning the counter of the store, reading a cosmopolitan.

“excuse me” says tyler, “im looking for a josh?”

“i am josh” says the guy, not putting down his cosmopolitan magazine. the magazine was from march 2008. “would you like to trade gold for cash? perhaps that gold chain you are wearing, or that stupid pinky ring?”

“pete said you could help me? said tyler. “my neighbor is going to kill me i think?”

josh finally looked up from his cosmopolitan. “i can help you. follow me,” said josh, who then lead him behind the desk and into a small little room off of the employee lounge, which was filled with drippy candles and a bunch of old stuff that looked vaguely menacing.

this is when josh told tyler that he ran a little necromancy buisness on the side, that would involve some slightly illegal acts. tyler was to allow josh to marry him, then take out a life insurance with pete (who was apparently a life insurance agent who hated his company) and list josh, his now spouse, as the receptor of the money should tyler die. once his neighbor kills tyler and is satisfied knowing she saw the life fade from tylers eyes, she would back of suspicions of him being alive. then josh would stage a funeral, grieve, move all his stuff into storage and collect the life insurance. after josh was able to receive the money, he would take a portion of it, give tyler a new identity, collect his belongings from storange, and then allow him to move to cuba, like tupac shakur and all other people whompst’ve successfully faked their own deaths.

tyler knew this all to be perfectly sane, because if he were to write the next big american novel no one, not even his neighbor, could get in the way of him and success.

“i’m going to write the next great american novel,” said tyler.

“great,” said josh.

josh said that he needed to collect something as “collateral,” until tyler was able to pay josh for his services, something important. tyler agreed to give josh his typewriter. tyler pawned his gold chain for another louder one that josh had on hand, which would hopefully speed up the murder process; they did not have much time anyway, upon josh seeing the increasingly angry notes from the neighbor. they called pete (who was also registered online to be a minister) and were married in the middle of the pawn shop right there. tyler pawned his pinky rink in exchange for a wedding ring, and also bought a bluetooth speaker so he could record his typing sounds and blast it 24/7.

it took a short 2 days for the preparations, and a short 3 days for his neighbor to come and kill him. after she stabbed him repeatedly in the chest and was content with her job, she left and enjoyed a solitary moment of bliss, of peace and quiet. then josh mourned and held a funeral, before collecting his belongings and relocating to cuba.

josh revealed to tyler that he could be continuing on to cuba with tyler, because the house that tyler wanted for writing his novel was too expensive to live in alone, and the necromancy community was growing in cuba, and josh had always wanted to live there. they started as roommates (josh slept with noise cancelling headphones anyway, his roommate in and out of college, also pete, played in a metal band so he formed a habit) and then eventually, beauty and the beast style, their relationship grew. tyler finally published his novel, which the huffington post called “not horrible, but still pretty bad.” josh consoled tyler over this and they instead went to go pick up shells on the beach and relax as tyler talked about his ideas for his next novel, and josh starting on his next “”vintage””’ woman’s magazine.

That he’s messed up or broken– maybe that’s why he didn’t dream with his soulmate for so long. But then he does, and fuck. Of course his soulmate is a fucking trauma case.

WARNING: WILL FUCK YOU UP. i’m not even exaggerating. it’s so angsty and sad and perfect and i love it so much. also, please read the tags before deciding to read this fic. some include: abuse, alcohol, suicide attempt(s). this isn’t the full thing so please take care and read the tags. 207,878 words.

♡ 4. Our Eyes Shine the Brightest When Our Faces Are Covered in Dirt (sequel to Two Vatos…): “Life isn’t a Disney Movie, and the world isn’t that generous. Sometimes, a story ends with an unsatisfying fade to black, and that’s all you have.”

Ryan struggles to teach his students this after taking a university teaching job to distract himself from his absent soulmate and his dying friend at home. He begins wonders if the ring on his finger means anything at all to Brendon.

read Two Vatos before reading this one. this may be even more sad and angsty, if that’s even possible. i cried a lot while reading this & the prequel. keep tissues handy. 104,062 words.

5. The One Thing I Never Expected: Ryan is Brendon’s best friend, they grew up together. But Ryan is different. An accident when he was a child left him deaf. Brendon has always taken care of Ryan, but now he’s starting to care for Ryan in a different way.

this is one of my all time favs. there’s a rape, suicide, and alcohol mentions. this is so cute and yes, they do have sex eventually. high school au. 91,000 words.

6. Star Shaped: Brendon’s not having the best holidays season ever.

you may want to read Forever, Now before reading this fic for it to make more sense. it isn’t ryden, but the story will make more sense if you do. 54,593 words.

7. Brilliant Smiles and Barely Scraping By: Brendon’s holding something inside of himself. It’s far from his heart; that’s where his favorite songs are kept. What he keeps secret is held in a place that Brendon himself doesn’t even want to try to find.

If Brendon couldn’t fight battles, Ryan was more than ready to fight for him

so so sad and worth reading. highschool au. there’s mentions of abuse and is quite angsty. this fic made me really angry. 73,600 words.

♡ 8. Rock Band Is (Not) A Synonym For Love: A mall AU. Pete’s head over heels for an oblivious Patrick, Gerard’s running out of ways to tell Frank he won’t date him, Ryan’s successfully trying to ignore his feelings for Brendon, and Spencer’s trying to make ends meet even as he slowly falls for Jon. On top of all that the big mall celebration is coming up and there’s all kinds of trouble keeping everyone on their toes.

so so cute. all your fav ships in one: peterick, frerard, joncer, and ofc ryden. pretty funny as well. 45,000 words.

9. Freaks: An accident lands Ryan in the hospital, and he meets Jon, who tells him of a mysterious patient on their floor.  There’s something not quite right about him, but then again, there’s something not quite right about Ryan as well.

ryan is so self concious and kinda an ass. jon & spencer are the best. 46,000 words.

10.  I Don’t Have a Library Card… But I’d Love to Check You Out: AU college. Brendon is close to flunking out of college, and his roommate and partner in crime, Jon, is not helping. He seeks refuge in the school’s library and finds a little more than a place to study. This is a story about finding love, taking chances, and being true to one’s self. 

ryan is adorable and sarah may seem like an ass at first, but she’s not. oh, spencer and sarah are siblings. 46,500 words.

♡ 11. How To Kill A Straight Guy: “Have fun eating your once-living flesh! I’ll be in here masturbating to girl magazines I got from my pot-smoking friends!”

the summary above is just for the first chapter. this fic is AMAZING and soooo much angst. it’s unbelievable. you will probably end up crying. it has a kind of sad ending, just warning you. 75,766 words. 

fics that are too long to be one shots, but too short for the long fics:

♡ 1. Just A Dash Of Fairy-maldehyde:  Brendon had never expected to even meet a real nymph, let alone fall for one.

so so so cute!!!!!!!!!!!! the story line sounds weird, but honestly it’s not at all?? the author totally works it. ryan is flustered so easily and it’s adorable. it’s written by the lovely @buttercupross give her a follow and check out her writing! it’s amazing, and so is she. 14,914 words. 

♡ 2. What We Invented: Now Brendon really doesn’t mind having boys in his bed, especially pretty ones and the one currently occupying his sheets seems quite pretty. It’s just…he likes to know who the boys in his bed are and he has absolutely no idea who this boy is.

ryan is so strange in this but it’s a good strange so it’s okay. the joncer is also so cute like? bill beckett is ryan’s roommate. 7,411 words. 

3. Let Me Down, Charlie Brown or How Jon Walker Saved Christmas:  Christmas time at the mall sucks, especially for those who work there. Brendon has given up on Christmas, Ryan is uptight, and Jon just wants to help. 

pete dresses up in a santa costume and patrick is in an elf one. brendon works in a pet shop and spencer always somehow always knows shit. 13,239 words.

4. Love in Bloom: Ryan Ross is a normal boy who struggles with his past. Can one rose seller at the side of the road help Ryan remember the past while still living in the present?

i’m pretty sure i had a revelation while reading this. i remember crying after reading this. a lot. 12,000 words. 

5. The Interpretation of Dreams: “I think something’s wrong with me,” Brendon tried to explain. “I basically have dreams so great that they kind of make real life pale in comparison. But not so great that I can tell the difference when I dream.” “And this… is a problem?” Spencer looked skeptical.

this fic was also really sad. very well written. so much pent up emotion. 20,000 words. 

6.  The Laundromat: Ryan doesn’t want to know the names of the people who come into the Laundromat. He doesn’t want to know what makes Tattoo Guy talk to Guy Who Never Showers. He doesn’t, but a new customer might just undermine all the work he’s done to distance himself from the world.

ryan’s names for people are pretty funny. features joncer, frerard, gabilliam, and peterick. 20,427 words. 

7. Silver Roses: Happiness doesn’t grow on trees - but maybe it grows on rosebushes. 

there’s slight william beckett/jon walker which was a first. spencer is evil. this is kinda a cinderella au. cute. 23,000 words. 

8. Brendon Urie: Pet Detective: Ryan Ross is the new kennel attendant at Thompson & Thompson Vet Clinic. When he meets his co-worker, Jon Walker, they begin to discover dogs disappearing from their kennels. When Ryan’s own dog, Hobo, goes missing, Jon Walker knows exactly who to call.

i almost gasped out loud when i found out who took hobo. pretty creative. 18,000 words.

♡ 9. Just One Of The Girls:  “Spence, I’m. Look, I’m going to prove this girl-thing to you, okay? I’m going to,” he held up his hands, “this is so brilliant, I’m going to become a girl.”

pretty hilarious. ryan turns into a girl. vicky t is amazing. 20,830 words. 

♡ 10. Every Speck of Dust Illuminated: “Z Berg.” Brendon pauses dramatically for effect. “Is a witch.”

Jon drags a spoon through the foam to draw a four leaf clover, complete with stem. Brendon admires it for a second.

“Brendon,” Jon sighs. “I know you don’t like that Ryan is spending so much time with her, but you don’t get to go around saying shit about people.”

Spine stiffening, Brendon responds as levelly as he can manage, “This has nothing to do with Ryan. Well, besides the fact that he’s hanging out with a witch.” 

Elizabeth Ann Berg is a witch. (and there is Charlotte the cat, Ryan the oblivious, and Brendon the hopelessly infatuated.)

you need an account for the link to work. it doesn’t take very long to make one and it’s free. but, this fic is pretty good and ryan is an old man. not literally, he just dresses like one. 15,931 words. 

♡ 11. For Whatever You Loose: You can’t always get what you want - unless you fish it out of the ocean.

mermaid au!! brendon and jon are mermaids and ryan and spencer are humans. brendon is so cute. 14,500 words. 

♡ 12. You’re Going to Recycle That, Right?: The one where Ryan is a hippie college environmentalist and Brendon just wants a better music auditorium. Featuring Ryan Ross chaining himself to a tree.

ryan is pretty hilarious and smokes a lot of pot with jon. the ending is really cute. 10,600 words.

13. Because You Looks Like A Jackass: Apartment AU! Basically: Brendon’s just moved into town. He courts Ryan Ross with flowery words and also a coat rack. He falls flat on his face. 

brendon is honestly so weird in this but it’s kind of endearing and cute. 7,600 words.

♡ 14. Serenade In Blue: Brendon makes Ryan stupid.

brendon likes ryan and ryan likes brendon but they both have no idea. ryan acts really weird when brendon is around and even more when he’s singing, it’s hilarious. z berg is the greatest. 8,013 words.   

♡ 15. This Happy Ending’s Just Beginning: The Disneyland parade has evolved into an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza and Brendon wants to be part of it. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of opportunities for the guy who sells knick-knacks by the park gates. Enter Ryan, the parade’s current star attraction, who might just have a plan to get Brendon everything he always wanted.

disney au!! my heart melted. spencer hates everyone, overall really amazing. 28,348 words.

  16. You Got A Crew? (I Got A Crew Too): AU. Every June, in the world of Las Vegas hair care, it’s all about one thing: the Annual Services Survey. Can struggling hairdresser Brendon Urie and his coworkers finally win over rival salon Cobra Starship? Shenanigans ensue as they battle it out, all while Brendon struggles to keep his eye on the prize—and away from that cute but prickly reporter.

i kept avoiding this fic for some reason? i wish i hadn’t though, it’s hilarious and the pranks are hysterical. one of my favorites. 24,000 words.

here, my friends are 41 of really good ryden fics totally worth your time. if you ever have any questions, don’t be afraid to hit up my ask box. oh, and i apologize for the sucky descriptions, i’m not good at summaries. i tried including fics that i haven’t seen everywhere, so that you can get some new fics. please let me know if the links aren’t working.

make sure to take care of yourselves and read the warnings that the links give before reading. happy reading!
