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.

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.

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
