#miguel sanchez's grand slam of love

[myneuroticromance]

not to ryden on main... but please let me know if any of y'all have any old anna green fanfics. please share!

[x-on-the-calendar-business]

ryan ross iceberg (tier 2)

tier 1, tier 3, tier 4, tier 5, tier 6, tier 7, tier 8

the tip of the iceberg:

the young veins:

this is the band that ryan and jon started after they split from panic! it included a few other members, and often times ryan’s good friends z berg and alex greenwald (of phantom planet), who will be mentioned more later on. they only released one album in 2010, called take a vacation! they played some live shows, but at the end of that same year, they went on an indefinite hiatus. HOWEVER, they made an official instagram account and have been active this year!! it’s likely that it's because there will be vinyl repress (further supported by a comment jon left on their only post) but it’s super cool nonetheless [i].

this is a personal aside, but i honestly like this band more than anything panic! released post split, with the exception of new perspective and the calendar. like god this was such a good fucking band.

dottie, elwood, and hobo:

these were all ryan’s dogs.

hobo was the dog he got in 2006. however, when he and keltie (we will discuss her soon) broke up, she took her with her [ii].

dottie was a dog he got circa 2015.

elwood is the dog he got in 2017.

i’m not sure if ryan still has dottie and elwood since he has pretty much disappeared from the internet.

eta: i misspelled elwood's name as elmwood in the iceberg image. sorry about that!

z berg:

this is one of ryan’s exes and his bestie. they dated around 2009/2010. they still hang out today and he’s made appearances at these events she does called proms. she gives us the majority of ryan content that we’ve gotten in the past few years.

he featured on one of her songs, “the bad list,” and she featured of the young veins cover of “nothing matters but you.” she will come up more in other entries as well, which is why i'm not going super in depth here.

throam:

whew.

this is a ryden fic – probably the most iconic after the milk fic – called the heart rate of a mouse, written by anna green. it was originally posted on livejournal, and it’s LONG, coming in at 3 volumes and over 500k words.

the plot summary is that in the 1970s, ryan is the lead singer/guitarist of a famous band called the followers, and brendon is a roadie on their tour. brendon is openly gay, and ryan and brendon start hooking up, even though ryan is “straight.” from there, the series becomes 3 volumes of angst and pining. of course, there’s so much more that happens, but i won’t say too much for the sake of spoilers.

despite it being a ryden fic, it’s incredibly well written (if you’re able to get past the explicit smut), so i do recommend reading it at least once in your life. i’m gonna keep it 100, i’ve read this series at least 10 times with a yearly reread and have physical copies of it.

anna also wrote some ficlets to go along with it, such as one from brendon’s pov and just some extra stuff that didn’t end up in the final cut. she also wrote a lot of other iconic fics (all of which i also recommend), like the black rose season, how a resurrection really feels, posing in a ballroom, miguel sanchez’s grand slam of love, amongst many, many others. sadly, she purged her entire livejournal account, so you would have to turn to internet archives to read anything other than throam [iii].

unfortunately, this fic also reached the icon status that the milk fic did so multiple people from the bandom sphere know about it and have acknowledged it. for example, keltie, ryan’s ex-girlfriend, has read it and mentioned it on twitter multiple times (embarrassing for her but whatever) [iv]. jon tweeted about it once [v]. also, i swear that vicky t from cobra starship mentioned it (i wanna say it was on instagram, but i could be wrong); however, i can’t find the comment she made anymore.

link to throam for those who are curious

jac and keltie:

these are two of ryan’s exes from the panic! days.

jac vanek was a scene queen in the early 2000s, and they dated from november 2005 until feburary 2006 [vi]. it was a pretty cringey teenage relationship that was overly (grossly) chronicled on livejournal, and if you’re interested to read more, there will be a link in a later tier.

an interesting tidbit is that while ryan was dating jac, brendon was dating another scene queen named audrey kitching, which will also come up later in this iceberg.

keltie knight (née colleen) and ryan started their relationship in august 2006 after meeting at the vmas, where panic! was performing and keltie was a backup dancer (she was a rockette). he was 19 and she was 24, which may not seem like a big deal, but it definitely played into some power dynamics in their relationship. for example, in keltie’s book, she says she often had pay ryan's bills for him. also in her book, she stated that he didn't take their relationship seriously, leading him to propose to her and asking her to move in (maybe he wasn't taking it as seriously as you because he was barely in his 20s keltie just a thought). they broke up in 2009 right before the split. we’ll touch on that again later. there is honestly so much more that i could say about this relationship/keltie, but some of it will be covered in this iceberg and the rest will be linked along with the jac info.

sun and moon:

another ryden entry. this refers to a theory about ryan and brendon about which one is considered the moon, and the other is the sun; it’s based on their personalities, like who embodies which more. polar opposites and all that. when ryden was still relevant, who is the moon vs who is the sun was a hotly debated topic (ryan is the moon, while brendon is the sun is the only correct answer).

this also loosely tied into some lyrics from panic and their solo music. for example, when the day met the night is often referenced in relation to this theory, although this song is definitely about keltie [vii]. also, in 2014 ryan wrote lonely moonlight, which also could refer back to this theory and kind of calls back to the lyrics in when the day met the night [viii]. however, this song is most likely about keltie too, if not another past relationship (not brendon).

dead end kids club:

this is a band/touring project that ryan was part of, including z berg, dan keyes, and the band palm springsteen. it was first announced in july, 2019. later that same year, they went on tour, hitting 8 cities for fall balls. this was referred to as the “1st annual” but….[ix]

in 2020, they released a song called lonesome town that featured a lot of videos from fans [x]. also that year, palm springsteen was accused of assault, which dekc posted a couple of statements about on twitter, here and here, stating that they had been removed from the project “a long time ago” [xi]. they pretty much disbanded after that and haven’t been active since october 2020.

livejournal:

iconic. livejournal (aka lj) was basically tumblr before tumblr existed. similarly, it could be used as a personal blog, a place to post rpf fic, an emo poetry hub, a photo album, etc. it’s on this iceberg because ryan was very prolific on livejournal, under the username i_amclandestine, and it’s essentially where panic! got its start. ryan made contact with pete wentz through lj, sending him the early demos, which lead to pete signing them and then cue domino effect to a taylor swift song.

anyway, ryan made many iconic posts on there, some of which will be addressed directly in this iceberg, but i will leave a link to an archive of his lj account for further viewing. he made his last post in june of 2006, but he deleted the account in july of that year after receiving a spam of hate. at the same time, brendon changed his (part_time_lovah) to friends only [xii].

along with the links to ryan’s old lj, i’m also going to link a youtube video by one of my favorite channels, the cozy representative, in which julian goes through ryan’s posts.

this is the web archive for ryan’s lj (does not include his last post):

this is a tumblr masterpost of all of his entries, including the last one missing from the above link:

and finally, julian’s video:

ryan and spencer childhood besties:

ryan and spencer became friends when they were around 5 or so years old, which was always the saddest part of the 2009 split to me. ryan and spencer were in the og band before panic!, which will be discussed later.

in 2016, spencer’s wife tweeted that ryan and spencer were still friends. however, ryan did not attend spencer’s wedding, which could have been for a number of reasons, one of which we will also discuss more heavily later on [xiii]. of course, there is no way for us to know whether ryan wasn’t invited or if he just decided not to go.

mcr makes me dance:

in 2004, ryan went to the chemicalromance livejournal community and posted, “hey im ryan im new i live in las vegas my chemical romance makes me dance” and history was made [xiv]. this became a "meme" amongst panic! fans, and they started bringing signs with that phrase written on them for ryan told in pics. this has continued even in recent times.

newsboy cap:

this is another iconic piece of ryan ross fashion. he wore it a lot in 2004-2006 cause he’s a little fruity. like seriously, this hat had him in the biggest chokehold.

now, we move onto some of the deeper stuff and into the waters.

tier 3

Maddie’s Super Sick Ryden Fic List From Hell

This is just a collection of all my favorite Ryden fanfics! Reader discretion is advised, many of them are explicit. I have read every fic on this list EXCEPT for The Heart Rate of a Mouse, but I had to put it on here because it’s the most iconic Ryden fic and I have heard many good things about it (I am waiting for my books to come in so I can read it!) I will be adding to this list as I find more, but I figured this was a good start. I also starred my personal favorites on the list. Enjoy! :)

[brendonwithyourshit-blog]

Ryden Fics

Here’s some I recommend, and I appreciate the authors for making these because AhajjHha

(I’m sure most of these will be on google if you look up the title)

(and I’m also sure all of these are r rated)

The Heart Rate of A Mouse

It’s the seventies. Basically, sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Ryan’s band, “The Followers”, go on tour. One of their roadies gets injured and needs a last minute replacement, which happens to be Brendon-Gay-Urie. And it goes on from there. There may be a lot of bumps in the road, but Ryan finally figures out who he is.

My rating: 12/10

So long and ow my heart. Beautifully written and so poetic. This is probably the most popular ryden fic, but if you haven’t read it yet, jump on the bandwagon. It’s so totally worth it. You won’t forget about it.

The Black Rose Season

Ryan’s college scholarship gets cut short, and he has to reach drastic measures to get it covered: spy on a secret society that is lead by Brendon Urie. He wanted to get the job done so he could graduate, no strings tied. But that never happens.

My rating: 10/10

I love the story line for this, I was really digging the college AU. It was so mysterious and dark, but also bright and funny at the same time. Also the plot twists just, well, twist you up. Definitely worth a read.

Filthy Lucre

Brendon makes a living from prostitution, and sends most of his earnings to help his parents, leaving him with almost nothing. Ryan on the other hand, is extremely fortunate and famous. He is liability of his family, causing trouble and making headlines, never sober. When their paths cross, Ryan realizes maybe he doesn’t need drugs to make him forget his past.

My rating: 10/10

It’s such an amazing story despite being unfinished, and it really (even though it’s super, uh) has a good moral behind it. There’s some stories you forget, but this one will always be remembered for me.

Coffee

Brendon gets kicked out of his parents house, and Jon and Ryan take him in. That doesn’t last long though, but they will fight to get him back.

My rating: 8/10

This story moved a little too fast for me and it was also a tad too dramatic for my taste, but if you like that this is perfect for you. Minus that, I recommend it a lot. Super fluff-y.

The Key of Victory

Brendon gets a chance to be on a TV show called “The Key of Victory,” that chooses the best musical talent and gives them a kick start into their career. He is determined to win. Along the way he befriends Ryan Ross, one of the judges.

My rating: 9/10

This story is really creative and it’s also adorable as fuck. If you want a medium length story, choose this.

And That Smile That You Gave to Me

Jon develops a master plan to help Ryan win Brendon over. He has to follow EVERY step the correct way or it won’t work

My rating: 7/10

This one is pretty short but it gets the point across pretty well. If you want a super cute one-shot, this is probably your best bet.

Oh Doctor Doctor

Ever since Brendon started working in the oncology department, he has had a crush on the head surgeon, Ryan. Unfortunately for him, he has been declined for years. Until one night.

My rating: 10/10

This is one of my favorites because I love the hospital AU. It’s also the most adorable thing ever, like, it’ll have you screeching. Definitely the fluffiest on here. It’s not long, either. Literally go read it now. :)

In Case the Scene Gets Nasty

Brendon Urie has a smart mouth that gets him into bad situations. Especially fights with Ryan Ross. But Ryan’s no angel either, he’s pissy and temperamental. They develop a burning hate for each other. The extravagant amounts of fighting earn them both detentions for the rest of the semester, alone together, organizing files. During detention they both realize there’s something better they can do besides fight.

My rating: 12/10

This one. I love it so much. They literally hate each others guts, but they both have pretty rough lives and realize that’s something to bond over. If you haven’t read this yet seriously go do it you won’t regret it.

Iron, Neon Lights, and Weed

Brendon wants to pursue his dream by becoming a musician, but to do that he has to get a record deal. There was talk about this secret club in the city, called “The Bridge,” that gives them out to people that have the most potential. A new friend brings him in, and he meets a (dashing) guy called Ryan. Aside from that, Brendon has to convince someone called “Ross” that he’s record-deal-material.

My rating: 10/10

Do I even need to say an opinion about this one? It’s Anna Green so it’s obviously going to be great. Probably in my top five. It’s one you won’t forget either.

Two Weeks in Hawaii

Ryan was left at the altar by Pete, and Spencer and Jon force him to go on his honeymoon trip, in Hawaii, to get over it. He meets a resident, Brendon, and they both fall pretty hard for each other. It’s a shame Ryan has to leave in two weeks.

My rating: 7/10

SO CUTE. SO FLUFF. I LOVE. It also moves kinda fast for me, which is not really my thing. Also there’s like a ton of other couples in there besides Ryan and Brendon, but the main focus is always them. If you like that it’s worth a read :)

Burning Down Cathedrals

Ryan is a huge fan of “Established Heroes”, and it’s kind of a shocker when the famous Brendon Urie shows up to his family picnic. It’s even better when they become friends (or more?). Then it starts to feel like a dream when he asks if Ryan’s band could be their opener during the next tour. Sadly, good things don’t last long.

My rating: 10/10

This one feels oddly real even though it’s a fanfic. It’s also like super depressing and it makes you feel. And that obviously means it’s written amazingly. Highly recommend:)))

Posing in a Ballroom

The Smith-Urie brothers have everything, or it may so seem. In reality they’re covering up their own family secrets. But they’re not the only ones. Their friends, Ryan and Jon, have some skeletons of their own. It’s one man for himself. They can’t hide their feelings forever.

My rating: 6/10

The story is written so good, but it’s literally like a soap opera. It’s also not strictly ryden, and the other relationships get lots of the spotlight too. It’s kinda one of those “woah-i-didn’t-see-that-coming” stories. Conveys tons of feelings. Just gonna leave it at that.

Miguel Sanchez’s Grand Slam of Love

Ryan is a famous tennis player, and also a self-conceited asshole. He throws a bit of a fit when a newcomer wins to him in Australia. Ryan has hated this “Brendon Urie” ever since, but Brendon couldn’t settle with that, apparently. Now the man has Ryan wrapped around his little finger.

My rating: 10/10

Honestly it’s so fun to imagine Ryan as a world-famous tennis player because that’s probably the last thing he would do. And I love it. It’s sorta short, but again highly highly recommend.

ok so that’s all I have for now but if i find more that are super good I will add them on!!

So I did promise a post about Ryan/Brendon (PATD) and DnP Fanfictions I really like. I’m going to break it up into wips and completed for dnp just because there probably will be a lot.

hi! sorry this took me a little while to answer, i needed to get on my computer so i could link you to everything! (ps, not all of these are LONG LONG but they’re still great and i love reading them!)

anna green (the author of throam) has a few more really good multi chaptered ryden. I’ll just link you my favorites:

Posing in a Ballroom - i’ve seen some people describe this as a reverse throam? i don’t really see the resemblance but oh man i spent a lot of time feeling bad for ryan and mentally screaming at brendon. bonus joncer

Miguel Sanchez’s Grand Slam of Love - ryan and brendon are tennis rivals. enemies to lovers. basically everything you could want in a fanfic

No Use in Turnin’ on Your Light - this one isn’t long, but man, its my favorite thing anna has ever written (except for Leave You Here, Stripped Bare, which isn’t ryden but i cried a lot). the first time i read it, i cried throughout half of it, then once i finished, i went straight back up to the top.

non anna green:

Two Vatos Locos Full of Carnalismo and Inamoratos - the first bandom i ever read and i am oh so in love with it. It’s a soulmate au that really hit my brain and my heart in all the right places. there’s a sequel, too, but tbh i prefer this as a standalone.

In Case The Scene Gets Nasty - THIS ONE IS SO WELL WRITTEN it just really encompasses the feeling of being a teenager and feeling very alone in the world. its basically enemies to fuck buddies that love eachother and dont realize it

starlight starbright (if you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel) - i actually didn’t know this was based off a movie until recently when i stumbled across the wiki for it. personally, i like this one better. brendon is a star and ryan has a crush on pete wentz.

Oh Doctor Doctor - as someone trying to write a hospital au at the moment, i WISH my fic could be as good as this one.

[mulletaetae]

hello friends - gather around. I need to spill some tea...in case u haven’t guessed it, i ship ryden!! This blog is by no means a ryden themed blog and i would never condone harassing in any way shape or form bren, ryan, sarah or anyone else for that matter about ryden. ryden WAS real, not ryden IS real ;) with that being said, this is my official ryden fic rec for all my peeps who also have secretly broken ryden hearts. 

so in no particular order, my favorite ryden fics:

The Heart Rate of a Mouse   The Impossible is Possible Two Weeks in Hawaii The Black Rose Season Burning Down Cathedrals One Night Stand Forever Miguel Sanchez’s Grand Slam of Love Crazy/Beautiful Infinite, Sometimes Iron, Neon Lights & Weed In Case the Scene Gets Nasty In Case the Scene Stays Nasty  How a Resurrection Really Feels Kidnap the Heart

most summaries given by the authors include any trigger warnings, but just be cautious! There’s a little bit of everything in this list and i hope you guys like them as much as I do. I’ll probably add more to the list in the future
