some favorites, no particular order, short thoughts in italics

Fog, Sheets and Thunder by theopteryx

Not as grey as it seems. A post-apocalyptic postal service AU.

Words: 5.536

Dystopia, post-apocalypse. Since the mcr fandom is so open to all kind of settings, the key to make it all so awesome and credible is the characterization. This one nails it and the world created here is also a 11/10.

Under the Hide of Me by fleurdeliser, tuesdaysgone

Prohibition in New Jersey means mob bosses and bootleggers running hooch up and down the shore and into the city. Gerard Way, his brother, and their friend Ray are running an operation for the Capo Maranzano. Rival factions are trying to take over the business, and Frank Iero, from a prominent Mob family, is sent to them as their new driver. But the Ways and Ray are hiding two secrets: their own still on a farm in the Pine Barrens, and something darker yet. They're werewolves.

Words: 18.228

Period!fic + werewolves + mafia. It’s like they ran an algorithm software to mix & create a story with the most loved tropes in the the MCR fandom. It’s also brilliant. Awesome characterization, niiiice plot, mature writing: check.

A Natural Reaction to Rough-rousing by Bexless

He made it to the bathroom and stood there leaning heavily on the sink, staring at himself in the mirror. He didn’t look like a creepy sadist. But neither did Christian Bale, and that hadn’t ended well for anybody.

Words: 27,994

Frank is always hurting Gerard. It’s no bandom if there isn’t an on tour fic. Awesome characterization!!! Great humour. Nice references. 

you weaseled your way into my heart (and ferreted out my feelings) by akamine_chan

You gotta watch out for those bands with umlauts.

Words: 5.444

It’s not a Magic AU, but there’s some magic going on somehow. Humor, on tour, animal transformation!

Envision The Magic by orphan_account

Gerard is a talented magician, responsible for much of the success of the famous Envision Destiny cruise ship. He's also one of those people. You know, one of those people who just seem to take up all the space they come across with their arrogance and confidence. You wouldn't wanna touch their personality with a 10-foot pole, but still people admire them.

That is beyond Frank. Working behind the cruise ship bars and seeing Gerard pretty much every day, he can't understand what's so great about him. Besides, everybody else doesn't have to deal with his snide remarks and rude comments. Because if there's one thing Gerard seems to love, it's the act of constantly pestering Frank.

Words: 69.420

The first frerard fic I have read. I was in my teens and I still adore it. The setting is very original. Gerard is an asshole. He sucks. I’ve had to read some asshole!frank next to avenge him.

Septicemia by orphan_account

Gerard keeps ruining things, but he never means it. Frank keeps getting hurt, but he never feels it.

Words: 44.884

Gore, super powers, kinda heavy&sad. I still read it from time to time. Mature writing, awesome setting.

Smokeless Flame of Fire by tabulaxrasa

Frank blinked. "What kind of name for a genie is Gerard?"

Words: 21.405

Yeah. Gerard is a genie. Frank is his little punk high schooler self. 

Public Enemy by tabulaxrasa

In 1932, Gerard Way has been making a name for himself robbing banks up and down New Jersey. Frank Iero, analyst for J. Edgar Hoover's Division of Investigation, is determined to catch him.

Words: 21.163

A cops and robbers au. Incredible! I remember being awed by this.

A Kiss With A Fist by iamdali

Part 1 of Boxer!Fic Words: 46;122

Frank is a boxer in a illegal gym. Gerard is a jobless and fresh out of school doctor. It’s perfect! Amazing writing, setting and characterization combo.

Buzzed by synonomy

"You should," Frank gets out between snorts, "you should cut your hair."

"What?" Gerard wheezes.

"No, it's just-- it's all stuck up." Frank shuffles forwards on his knees and then his hands are in Gerard's hair. Gerard's laughter dies down abruptly. Frank's fingers are surprisingly gentle on his scalp, ruffling it up, carding through it. "We'd probably have to wash it first, though," he says thoughtfully

Words: 6.345

And here is a pwp. Stoned guys, awesome smut.

[cyberstabbing]

Physical disabilities

Feeling You - Frank has this really dumbass idea that him being blind means that his feelings towards his best friend aren't mutual. His dad and Gerard work to square this issue away. 6k

​Heartlines - ‘Please, please don’t be sorry. It’s- It’s hard for hearing folks, you know? It’s hard for them to imagine being anything other than hearing and being proud of that fact. You’ve known me so long that it’s not weird to you, though, so this transition makes more sense. It’s your community too, you know.'

Deaf Gerard, Deaf Frank, self acceptance and growing up. 3k

All the Broken Pieces (Keep Cool, Stay Tough) - Up until that fateful night, Frank's had a pretty decent life. But everything's changed and now he's got to figure out how to be himself again. With the help of some really groovy friends, Peppers, and his never-give-up attitude, Frank gonna get there. He's sure of it. 39k

There’s this spectacular scene involving an escalator and Frank making a grand entrance that immediately pops into my head when I think of this fic. 

Description by babylynz: OH MY FUCKING GOD OKAY, THIS IS A FRIKEY FIC BUT IT’S SO FUCKIGN GOODJDDJDHHHGHG basically Frank gets in an accident that leaves him unable to walk and it’s a really emotional kinda story (but like .. Idk, it’s lighthearted) about him getting used to everyday life again and he meets Mikey online and they bond over really shitty movies and they meet up and AHH!!! Also Ray is like …. a ,,,, what is it …… He helps Frank get used to having sex again after the accident? He’s one of his therapists idk it’s a really good story, read it.

Besides anatomy of a fall and uhv what’re like thee Frerard fics

well like the issue is that for some reason, the most popular ones or the ones that most people have read are sometimes rally really bad. like a splitting of the mind and the dove keeper we’re regarded as two of the best for aaaaages but they’re horrible, both for different reasons.

to me. king and country is in the top three with aoaf and unholyverse. then there are a lot of other great ones but those are definitely like my holy grails. all the other fics that are like top kudos on ao3 suck for different reasons imo. definitely not a reflection of the best that the pairing has to offer.

[in-love-and-jeph]

So here’s a kidfic reclist! It’s less of a reclist and more of just a list of fics for my own enjoyment... I’ve reread most of these multiple times and love them. They’re listed in order of favoritism/familiarity, but I love all of them! I’ve also included the tumblrs of authors I’m aware of. Enjoy!

**Edited because I forgot Assholes in Love by brooklinegirl smh

The Sad Dad Club by mousefrnk (@mousefrnk) // E / 85.4K /  Frank Iero/Gerard Way, Ray Toro/Mikey Way 

Ex-frontman Frank Iero is a single dad in New Jersey doing his best to raise his three girls. He meets Ray and Gerard, two dads with sons in the same class as one of his girls. Along with Gerard’s brother Mikey (who is soon to be a dad himself), they make plans to hang out every Friday, asking each other for advice and getting some much-needed adult social interaction. Thus, the Sad Dad Club is born.

The Secret Life of Bees by eudaimon (@thetiredandthedreamers) // E / 12K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Summer.

Frank and his daughter have nothing left in New York, so they hit the road and end up in the tiny town of Orpheus Falls, NY. Frank meets Gerard at a farmer's market, selling artisan honey

They start to figure things out.

Something Better by LovelyPoet // E / 18.3K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

"We all have to take jobs we don't like sometimes, you know?"

AKA - The Nanny Frank fic.

pinkish by antspaul (@girlfriend-frank) // M / 6.8K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Frank is a loser.

At twenty-four, he works in a dead-end job in a motel with no aspirations or goals, and the only person he ever really talks to is his infant daughter.

Gerard is a loser.

At twenty-eight, he works in a dead-end job in a gas station convenience store, and he has no idea how he's supposed to get his life back together after his disastrous early twenties from the seclusion of his parents' basement.

When an unlikely friendship arises between them, Frank doesn't realize how much he'll need an ally in the coming months. Then his daughter's maternal grandparents come into their lives, seeking custody of their grandchild. In an attempt to improve his chances in court, Frank accidentally-on-purpose fabricates a relationship with Gerard, tethering him to the situation and to Frank's daughter. // Part 1 of loser4loser

A Constant Work in Progress by onceuponamoon // E / 33.4K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Frank spends his time at Cedar Creek Elementary sucking at answering the phones, playing nurse, spinning in his chair, and avoiding glares from Principal Bryar.

His life gets turned upside down when his cousin Dani gets thrown in jail and he suddenly has custody of her three kids. Frank copes with the abrupt change with help from his mother, his friends, and this Gerard guy that he (sometimes literally) can't seem to quit running into.

Make It Loud by brooklinegirl // E / 31.3K / Frank Iero/Jamia Nestor, Gerard Way/Lindsey Way

How two assholes in love start a family. Part 5 of the Assholes in Love series

Envision The Magic by innocent_wolves // T / 69.4K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Gerard is a talented magician, responsible for much of the success of the famous Envision Destiny cruise ship. He's also one of those people. You know, one of those people who just seem to take up all the space they come across with their arrogance and confidence. You wouldn't wanna touch their personality with a 10-foot pole, but still people admire them.

throw a little sparkle all over it by etben // M / 26.3K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Babies and associated ridiculousness. (A baby is left on the bus and the band takes care of her.)

Professional Healers by synonomy // E / 34.2K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way, Lindsey Ballato/Jamia Nestor

Frank never wanted to be a pediatrician.

In A Pretty How Town by fleurdeliser and tuesdaysgone // E / 22.6K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Single dad Frank Iero moves with his son to a new town. Everyone is nice, but the mayor, Gerard Way, is positively too good to be true.

I Know What It Means to Me by mistresscurvy // E / 9.1K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Gerard didn't go to his single parents support group expecting to find love, but it found him there when Frank showed up one week. A single dads AU.

The Edges by Go0se // T / 71.1K / Fun Ghoul/Original Female Character, Kobra Kid/Party Poison

How the youngest Fabulous killjoy found her name.

A ten year old who wasn't a spy, four adults who weren't parents, a diner no one could find on a map, a totalitarian government that kept trying, improbable geography, clothes that mattered, music that mattered, food that didn't matter all that much, and a cat who no one could figure out. Fun Ghoul tried to help; Party Poison needed to keep everyone alive; Kobra Kid was called on to dispense wisdom; Jet Star watched the perimeters. Grace... she just wanted to go home.

Crazy for You by sockpuppeteer // G / 2.4K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Frank's relief is almost palpable when there is someone home in apartment opposite, and, although mussed and a little bleary, he looks relatively friendly. And gorgeous, but Frank is definitely not focusing on that right now.

Goodnight, Mr. Moon by anoceanmonster // G / 1.2K / Frank Iero/Gerard Way

Christmas Eve with a family of werewolves.

A high pitched howling echoes out through the yard and their heads immediately snap to the attic window where the young boy leans out and calls in to the night. The strings of fairy lights illuminate the boy’s face with a soft glow as he stretches towards the sky and howls again.

The Lights You Make by Honestmouse (@honestmouse20) // T / 171.8K / Fun Ghoul/Party Poison, Jet Star/Kobra Kid

It's been a year since Ghoul literally stumbled onto Kobra and Party's door step.

The trio have become close in that time though just recently having begun to call themselves a crew. Ghoul and Party are helplessly attracted to each other, though for some reason denying it.

And Kobra?

Well he's just himself. A little lonely but soon he has something, or someone, to take his mind off of it.

That person however is not exactly in the best uh shape to help Kobra as he watches his brother and best friend ignore their feelings towards each other.

Also: who the hell decided it’d be a good idea to give them a baby? (rec from @whore-frank)

“House of Wolves Plus one”

By: Geescluelessgirl

There are so many werewolf stories out there...but this is not one of them, though you could be excused for thinking it is.

The pack was small, but strong and fiercely protective of its own...well, for the most part anyway.

Little Omega Gerard Way only really knew the pack, and there wasn’t any real chance of his meeting anyone else...so what will happen when a lone wolf enters the pack's territory...and will Gerard’s big brother let him go when the time arrives?

[oingoz]

so i totally made a frerard reclist. i enjoyed reading every single fic on here, it was just a matter of putting them all together in one place, which i’ve finally done! what to heck! so real quick, here’s a few notes:

- i am a gigantic bottom frank stan and therefore there is NO exclusively top frank fic on this list. actually, there’s only four that have frank topping at all, but even then gerard’s definitely the Main Top - long fics and oneshots combined, there’s a total of 87 recs on here, woo wee - the long fics have essentially been ordered from most favorite to least - the oneshots, listed below the long fics, have been sorted into categories rather than ordered based on how much i liked them. also i didn’t put descriptions on them as i did for the long fics

aaand that said, here’s the recs:

LONG FICS

✰ The Anatomy of a Fall [ 107k ] The unholy union of a high school AU and a ghost story. Gerard’s the new kid in town and he meets Frank, the strange kid who lives in the woods. This has gotta be my favorite fic ever… my love.

✰ Unholyverse series [ 177k ] Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest. SO brilliant, it is an actual masterpiece.

✰ Between The Wish And The Thing [ 23k ] Gerard has been in love with his best friend and bandmate for years. It’s basically nonstop domestic cuteness??? Your heart will melt???

✰ King and Country [ 52k ] Frank hasn’t really been a stable boy since he ended up in the archduke’s bed, but now Gerard’s exile is over and he’s king. Listen it’s an established relationship BUT don’t let this deter you as the author does tell how they got together- what I’m trying to say is, it’s a complete love story and they absolutely adore each other. Read it.

✰ Paris!Verse [ 43k ] They meet at Mikey and Alicia’s wedding and then fall in love in Paris. I really, really, really loved this fic.

✰ Promises, Promises [ 26k ] Gerard kidnaps Frank. A Stockholm syndrome fic with a fair amount of violence and dubious consent. If this doesn’t bother you though, I’d highly recommend it.

✰ Ain’t Nobody Gonna Love You Like The Devil Do [ 40k ] Frank is a good, God-fearing Catholic boy, and then Gerard happens. Essentially, Frank falls in love with a rebellious Gerard and it’s absolutely fantastic.

✰ To Cast Turpentine Kisses [ 22k ] (must be logged in to read!) And the subbiest Frank fic of them all is a not!fic. Frank is a student and Gerard is his teacher. What a blast, oh my GOD.

✰ Can Never Wrong This Right [ 23k ] It’s 1949 and Dr. Way is a professor of Archeology and Frank is his constantly exasperated (and secretly pining) assistant. Two words: soul bonding. Read it.

✰ Strange Steps [ 33k ] Gerard likes: A) popular Frank, and B) dancing. Everything’s chill until those two things are brought together when Frank suddenly needs dance lessons. Everyone loves a nice high school AU, right??

✰ In Repair [ 33k ] In which Frank has the hots for Gerard The Robot. This fic is chock full of things that are guaranteed to make your heart happy, I promise you that Gerard being a robot isn’t a burden in the slightest.

✰ Conclusions [ 49k ] Gerard moves in with Frank, and cozy domesticity and pining blossoms. Bexless never fails to please.

✰ He Was A Teenage Werewolf [ 45k ] Gerard is transfered to Queen Of Peace, a Catholic school, where he meets a weird kid named Frank. Another great high school AU except one of them’s a werewolf. (Don’t get deterred if werewolves aren’t your thing, it’s not even confronted until halfway through the fic.)

✰ Hearts Warmer than the Ice Keeping the Spinach Lasagna Cold [ 19k ] Gerard is in love with the punk boy who works in the deli department ♥️

✰ Becoming Joan [ 35k ] A complicated situation leads to Frank having to dress up as a girl. It would be bothersome except, he’s kinda totally alright with it…. Totally not what I was expecting based off of the fic’s original summary, it’s so good!!! Read it!!!

✰ Variations on a Fugue [ 36k ] An Early Edwardian AU. Frank Iero is a young nobleman currently living with his parents in the Lake District, where he plans on leading a quiet life away from London and its temptations. However, temptation moves into his neighbourhood in the face of one Gerard Way. Involves old-timey dialogue, soul melting intimacy, and a line that I’ve thought about everyday since I’ve read it.

✰ On the Midtown Direct [ 22k ] A love story, one train ride at a time. Just thinking about it makes me want to go read it again, it’s so precious.

✰ Buy Handmade [ 18k ] Gerard has an Etsy page and Frank works in a bakery. Mega cute.

✰ When We’re Both Thirty [ 84k ] They had agreed to use each other as a backup plan. If, by the time they both reached their thirtieth year, they hadn’t found someone to marry, they’d marry each other. They had thirty days left……. So maybe the concept is unrealistic and the fic is a bit long-winded BUT I think it’s completely worth it, there’s several scenes that are just Too Good, trust me.

✰ Moth to Flame (or whatever) [ 31k ] Frank owns a flower shop and Gerard likes to frequent it. Frank’s so soft in this fic, he loves his flowers and does yoga and !!!!!! you will love him.

✰ Catholic!Frank and Artist!Gerard Not!Fic [ 21k ] Frank starts to like Gerard a little too much and his faith is challenged because of it. Also he owns a vegan restaurant and Gabe takes a fancy to Mikey. A fun read!!!

✰ Professional Healers [ 34k ] In which Frank is a pediatrician and Gerard is his patient’s father. This is such a feel good fic, I love it so much.

✰ 24 Frames Per Second [ 79k ] The 1984-Movie!AU: everyone works at the Belleville Film Palace. This fic is angsty but I- normally not fond of angst- really enjoyed this because it’s so unique and realistic and, most importantly, they love each other a whole lot! It’s really good, I promise.

✰ Companion [ 33k ] A workplace AU full of cutesy domestic fluff!!!

✰ We Each Play The Part Written For Us [ 27k ] Gerard’s had a crush on Frank since forever and Frank’s only just now getting around to returning those feelings….. That’s the gist of it but it’s not as angsty as it sounds, it’s actually super sweet.

✰ Black Market Blood [ 16k ] Frank has a crush on Gerard The Vampire. They’re both sweethearts in this omg.

✰ Distance in the Afterlife [ 15k ] Gerard comes out during Projekt Revolution and drama ensues.

✰ Public Enemy [ 21k ] In 1932, Gerard Way has been making a name for himself robbing banks up and down New Jersey. Frank Iero, analyst for J. Edgar Hoover’s Division of Investigation, is determined to catch him. Good good stuff.

✰ sing it for the n00bs [ 17k ] Gamer AU, wherein the Danger Days universe is an MMORPG. Frank has a strange way of going about winning Gerard’s affections.

✰ A World So Small [ 31k ] Victorian AU. When Frank is advised by his doctors to leave London for the country, he makes arrangements to stay with his friend, Michael. What Frank has no idea of at the time is that Michael has an older brother, whose presence in the house he conceals. So so intimate and sweet. I really do have a soft spot for historical AUs.

✰ Under the Hide of Me [ 18k ] Prohibition in New Jersey means mob bosses and bootleggers running hooch up and down the shore and into the city. Gerard, Mikey, and Ray are running an operation for the Capo Maranzano, but when rival factions are trying to take over the business, Frank Iero, from a prominent Mob family, is sent to them as their new driver. Also the Ways and Ray are werewolves. This was a good read, Gerard’s a major alpha.

✰ Five Times Gerard Pays for it and One Time He Doesn’t [ 22k ] A rentboy fic wherein Gerard (the customer) falls for Frank (the service-provider) and can’t figure out how to go from paying-for-sex to “dating” or if that’s even possible. A great read.

✰ Cover To Cover [ 32k ] Frank is fine until Gerard opens his large branch of Way Books & Café down the street, putting his small bookshop in danger. He basically hates Gerard because of it. Except, Frank doesn’t know that coffeeaddict, the anonymous guy he’s falling in love with over the internet, is actually Gerard himself. I was hesitant, at first, going into this one because they’re both in relationships at the start of the story, but reading this totally paid off because it’s so good. There’s a scene in particular that was so precious, I got emotional..,.,.. good stuff!

✰ What Ships Are For [ 22k ] Gerard is most concerned when he finds that, while away at university, his father has taken in a new ward of his own brother’s age. But upon his return home, he finds the young man to be particularly enchanting. Includes old-timey dialogue and a whole bunch of pining.

✰ Break The Walls (And Kill Us All) [ 27k ] Frank owns an antique store, but he’s not very good at it. About the only thing he IS good at is having a crush on his best customer. And housing ghosts in his shop, apparently.

✰ Thing-Thing [ 43k ] When Gerard signed the admissions paperwork for the Fordhaven School for Boys, he knew he was signing up for four years of sexual frustration. No one was gay at Fordhaven. In his senior year, though, this stupid gay freshman disproves Fordhaven’s straightness, and throws Gerard’s entire world off-kilter. (Includes a fair amount of underage drinking/drug usage.)

✰ Chimerical Romantics [ 22k ] A 19th century love story. If you're into beautifully written historical AUs, then this is for you ;)

✰ I’m Not On Desolation Row series [ 21k ] Desolation Row!Gerard meets I’m Not Okay!Frank at an illegal show in New York on Halloween. Frank’s such a twink in this, not even in a smutty way, he just has a twinky personality and it’s great.

✰ Love and Other Cliches [ 28k ] Bob Bryar is Gerard’s guardian; he is also a witch. When it becomes obvious that Gerard and Frank are hopelessly, silently in love with each other, Bob finds himself on a mission to get them together. But when nothing seems to be working, he resorts to real spellwork, and now Frank and Gerard are stuck in a romance novel with only one way out.

✰ Is It Enough to Have Some Love? [ 15k ] Frank and Gerard used to be best friends before Gerard decided to leave the little town they lived in and study art in New York. Four years later, he comes back to live at his parents’ house. He’s not Frank’s friend now, he’s not even the old Gerard anymore - he’s someone new and strange and when Frank gives in and starts spending time with him again, he realizes they might never be friends again. But they might be something else… This is kind of like friends to enemies to friends to lovers?? It’s cute.

i feel like u must have followed me in the last 5 minutes lol. 

but anyway ummm. i would not classify what i do/my thoughts as “shipping”. shipping to me is like oh these two would be cute together. i do believe that in the past their relationship was something past friendship, but i don’t think anything of the sort is going on currently.

i think i sum up my feelings on frerard well here. its not proof or anything like that, just my feelings on the misconceptions i have seen and where i stand.

i generally don’t read new fics but i do read the old ones that i love. but i did post a reclist two days ago for people who need something to read during quarantine lol.

i get the feeling that u asked this because you have a problem with it/don’t want to follow someone who talks about that a lot so i will say this: if you look through my blog you’ll probably see that i answered a bunch of asks and talked about frerard quite a bit in the past few days but that’s not how i intend my blog to be most of the time. i haven’t done that in ages but people had questions and it sort of snowballed. i probably will talk about it on occasion but i always tag it as frerard so people can blacklist. so yea i believe those things and sometimes talk about fics but i don’t think its really a focal point of my blog.

3.8k. Frank/Gerard. Prompted by “The college radio DJ has played 22 Mountain Goats songs in a row without comment and I feel like someone should call and make sure they’re okay.”

[reclist]

sur i need recs for frerard can u tell me 1) the hottest fic you've ever read 2) the sweetest/cutest fic you've ever read and 3) the saddest/most angsty five you've ever read?

oh anon, ANON, dear.

1) hottest fic UGH im gonna go with price of pretty, but in the music of time and time travel verse deserve a mention. also get naked i got a plan

2) this was the hardest one to answer lmao im so bad with fluff but, my friend mel @phylocalist that isnt on tumblr anymore once wrote a fic of frank and gerard going to see bright eyes and. its very intense: I Could Go Anywhere With You (And I'd Probably Be Happy) please read it its so good its so good!!!!! also deserving of a mention: gold sharpie promise and moth to flame (or whatever)

3) i dont read angst unless it has a happy ending but, this one time i accidentally read a fic with a unhappy ending and it was the worst it was called anatomy drawing but i think it got deleted. for fics i willingly read: probably it all goes back to the dogs and filthy lucre (which has a sequel but was never finished)

most of these are in my reclist so if you want other fics that arent listed there lmk ill find u something

[mychemicalficrecs]

non AU frerard ig?? like the band/stage relationship between frank and gerard, i cant find anything

Hmmmm, I already made a couple of lists for canon compliant/non-AU stuff that you can check out below (the last two have other pairings as well, though). The one that’s closest to your ask is probably the stage gay list, but I thought touring fic might also work? So I made that a thing.

Canon Compliant Frank/Gerard Fluffy Non-AU Frank/Gerard Frank/Gerard and the Stage Gay Non-AU Frank/Gerard Smut Revenge Era Frank/Gerard Bullets Era Van Days

Frank/Gerard Touring

did you mean it? by reclist, 950 words, General Audiences. Frank watches Gerard perform Cancer every night and tries to pretend he isn’t pining that badly; pretends he isn’t head over hills over someone that most definitely doesn’t feel that way. He’s made peace with it a long time ago. The pining is strong, but not strong enough to fuck up the life he’s built for himself. It’s his dirty little secret. He doesn’t feel dirty because of it, but sometimes he feels like it should. It feels wrong and so, so right at the same time.

All is Fair by canadianhannah, 8k, Not Rated. What happened when you kissed Frank on Saturday? Magic. Fireworks. I was just getting even with him. I don't think we wanna know what he did to you... You don't. You don't.

If Love Is Blind by findingsaturn, 13k, Explicit. When Frank had dreamed about going on tour...well, he knew it would be perfect in its own way, but he never imagined it would be perfect quite like this. or: Frank isn't particularly great at putting on his own stage makeup. One night, when he goes to Gerard for help, he gets a little more than he bargained for.

Secret Admirer by BasementVampire, 866 words, Teen And Up Audiences. Gerard has been receiving chocolates all during the tour. Is it the work of a secret admirer, or just a prank?

Unwanted Thoughts by ViciousVenin, 44k, Explicit. It's Revenge Era, it's a summer tour, and it's hot as hell. After the air-conditioning on the tour bus breaks down the guys start stripping off all their clothes as soon as they get back for the night. And on one night in particular, Frank takes notice of Gerard in a way he never has before.

publicity stunts by Trojie, 6k, Teen And Up Audiences. The record company thinks a few plausibly-deniable rumours about Gerard and Frank dating would be good PR, but of course, they're not contractually obligated to sleep together or anything. Ahahah.

Keep Your Aching Celebrating Wondermaking Heart Alive by Tezy, 9k, Explicit. “You need to sleep,” Frank said softly. “I know,” Gerard mumbled into the pillow. His voice was scratchy and low. He took hold of Frank's hands where they were laid on his stomach and gripped them tightly, as if he was trying to anchor himself to the world through Frank. A few moments later, his eyes slipped closed, and his grip on Frank's hand relaxed, but Frank left his hands where they were. (In which Frank is pining, Gerard is exhausted, everybody is exhausted and tours are exhausting.)

Fellowship of The Dorks by orphan_account, 1k, Teen And Up Audiences. Frank and Gerard were complete fucking dorks. Jesus have mercy on their souls, they were damned to a life of geeking out and snorting at all the wondrous nerd splendours they encountered. No one could blame them really; they encouraged each other to out-dork each other. The rest of the band suspected they found it a turn on.

Wish You Were Here by morphosyntactic, 3k, General Audiences. Touring with My Chemical Romance is different to touring with Pencey.

I think I’m gonna work on my reclist tonight It’s here if you wanna look. I’m gonna add ratings and summaries I think, then keep adding fics alphabetically.

[awsugar]
