Summary: Pete's plans for his near future boiled down to constant negotiations for time with his son, trying to spend more time with his boyfriend, and getting the Black Cards on tour. Those plans change dramatically when irregularities show up in a routine check up required for tour insurance and throw his life into danger. Now Pete's world is a lot smaller and revolves around doctors, hospitals, and treatments that hurt more than the disease.

Review: This story is pretty much guaranteed to make you cry. Pete is stupid, Mikey is awesome, and the rest of their friends and bands are supportive in all the best ways.

All of the OCs are fully fleshed out and believable, and everything just fits together beautifully. The ending isn't sad, though about three-quarters of the way through the fic you will be sobbing your eyes out. So don't read this unless you've got tissues nearby.

This song is what the fic is based on and should totally be listened to while reading the part of the story that has the boy's playing it.
