dreams of pirate ships and patty hearst

::takes a deep breath:: Okay, here it is, kids, the beginning of my romanticbandom story. Which is now very late, and still in process, but I plan to be done with all six parts by the middle of March! This is the plan, and my determined face, and all that.

If you like reading WIPs, feedback is love, naturally!

Title: Sleepless in Chicago (1/6)
Pairing: Pete/Patrick (Pete/Ryan, Patrick/Brendon)
Rating: PG-13, mostly for language
Word Count: This chapter clocks in around 4,800 words. Yeah, this whole thing's going to be epic.
Notes: Again, for romanticbandom, in which I obviously chose Sleepless in Seattle. Lots of love to dragonsinger for the beta, and to rue_quercus for listening to me ramble about this at odd intervals!
Summary: AU. Patrick is a widower and young father. Pete is an advertising exec with a boring relationship. When Patrick's daughter makes a call to a radio shrink, lives intersect and shenanigans ensue.
