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 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.

Title: All the Hours in Between
Rating: Um. R, maybe, for language and some violence.
Pairing: Brendon/Jon, Spencer/Ryan, implied Travis/Maja
Length: About 48,000 words, give or take a few.
Prompt: Ladyhawke
Notes: For the reel_band challenge. I own neither the main thrust of this plot, which is taken from a movie directed by Richard Donner, nor the real people on whom the characters are ever so loosely based. There are a few people in here who, while I'm certain are lovely in real life, are a tad evil and scary in the story for purposes of having bad guys so...sorry for any horrible character assassination.
