As Far as the Sky
May. 31st, 2008 10:01 pmTitle: As Far as the Sky
Fandom: MCR, with FOB, P!ATD, GCH, CS, the Dresden Dolls, and other various music-type people.
Rating: Perhaps PG-13, mostly for language and threats of violence
Pairing: Mostly gen, some Bob/Ray
Length: About 67,000 words
Notes/Summary/Disclaimer: Someday, I’ll write a story that isn’t based on a movie that had a formative effect on my young psyche. Today…is not that day. This particular story is based on the 1975 movie Escape to Witch Mountain, which is in turn based on a novel by Alexander Key—I make no pretensions as to having coming up with its amazing premise myself. In this particular reworking, Gerard and Mikey are rather strange orphans with super powers who catch the attention of businessman Pete Wentz and his assistant Patrick. A series of unfortunate events leads to them and their friend, Frank, hitching a ride with Bob and Ray to try and figure out where they really come from.
While I’m giving credit where credit is due, I feel I must praise my beta-reader, Fred at The Space City of a Thousand Teas, an awesome roommate and an encouraging editor. Many thanks to the mods who arranged this whole shebang, and to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
omphale23 for such a lovely fanmix. Also, I have to say that I got the idea of Jay-Z as an FBI agent from stereomer’s “Tie Your Monster Down,” and passe_simple’s “Forever, Now” and its sequels inspired my love for MCR kidfic. While I’m on the subject of kidfic, this is kidfic, so if that’s not your cup of tea, this story might not be either.
And finally, although I know it might seem to go without saying, I feel obligated to say that I don't own or have any rights over the real people on whom the characters in this story are ever-so-loosely based, and am using names and traits of public personae without permission. No offense or attempt to profit is intended.
