Words: c. 4,000.
Author's notes: This series is a collection of alternate perspective pieces to accompany the chaptered fic, The World's Not Waiting (For Joe Trohman To Stop Being A Pussy And Start Going For What He Wants).

The short stories in this series will be from Patrick's perspective and will not necessarily follow a linear timeline - they'll be ad hoc and posted when time allows, or for specific reasons.

This part was written as a gift for my bandom secretary and PR dude chicagowinters on its birthday.

Truckstops & Statelines was the original working title of Chapter 14.

Author's notes: This story is broken down into four parts: Earth, Air, Water & Fire.

Although I am a practicing pagan, and many of the references are based on widely accepted concepts within the pagan community, this fic should not be taken as literal, nor is it a how-to manual or intended to represent any particular path or culture. Many elements are deliberately omitted or fictionalised for the sake of brevity and narrative.

If you are interested in learning about paganism, you could do far worse than visiting the website of the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids.

This chapter is somewhat transitional - no great strides in plot are made, but it aligns things for them to progress to the next phase of the story.

Title: Your Own Spotlight
Summary: A few months ago, he'd had to beg Joe to rejoin the band. It had left him shaken for days, even after Joe had said 'yes'. Like there was a chance, a real one, that they really might have lost him.

Words: c. 2,100
Prompt: "We’re so miserable and stunning, love songs for the genuinely cunning." - Carpal Tunnel Of Love
Author's notes: This fic was written for Tumblr's FOBCC challenge for July 2016, with the theme of lyrics.

As I was writing this story, which I had always intended to be a short oneshot, it became clear that the 'verse had the capacity for something much larger and more in depth. A fuller fic about the hiatus, incorporating a version of this scene with complete dialogue will be posted at a later date.
