Dustverse Fics
Some of my personal favorites from the Danger Days universe. All of these stories are completed, but there are plenty more incredible stories that are still WIPs.
Insect King: incredible origin story for two of the dusters characters, Tommy Chow Mein and Dr. Death Defying.
I Believe We’re The Enemy: You know what?“ Frank snaps, glaring at the person who used to be Party Poison. "You know, sometimes I wish they’d just killed you instead.
Sing It For The N00bs: Gerard would be killing twice as many dracs right now if his fucking spacebar would quit sticking. (Gamer AU, wherein the Danger Days universe is an MMORPG.)
The Science of Sleep: This is… not exactly a killjoy fic, but at the same time, it is. I don’t remember much of it, but it is very well known. “It’s 2011 and Frank Iero’s life is pretty average until the night where he starts getting dreams about a strange, apocalyptic California where there’s rayguns, grey corporations and terrorists who use art and colour as a weapon. Interesting and fun at first, but the more he dreams about this world, the more he starts to wonder if it really is a dream… and the deeper he gets into this futuristic world, the more it seems to affect his life in the present day.”
Hold You Heart Into This Darkness: A three part collection exploring the canon events of the Killjoy music videos.
Haircare Tips for Zonnerunners & Let Your Hair Down, Diesel Doll: Two oneshots about Killjoys and their relationship with hair.
The Sane Abandoned Me: A very interesting take on ‘storytelling’, short and sweet.
These Kids Are A Disgrace: Exterminator!Gerard fic.
Angels From The Neon: An origin fic of sorts.
Transcript: Dr Death Defying Archive Tape N° 09, Dated August 22, 2019: an interview.
Masks: masks origin story.
Desert Heat: Disclaimer! I only read the first fic - Frank Iero has spent the majority of his life in and under Battery City. When he meets the notorious gang of outlaws that call themselves "The Fabulous Killjoys”, his life is turned on its head. But much like Frank, the Killjoys are not what they seem. Through the roaring roads of the desert, and the winding tunnels of underground life that eat at the base of Battery City, Frank (Fun Ghoul), Ray (Jet Star), Grace, Mikey (Kobra Kid), and Gerard (Party Poison) find that they have a place, nestled out in the zones, that they can call home. When their way of life is threatened by Battery City’s government, the Better Living Industries, the Fabulous Killjoys put everything they have on the line to protect the place they have fought so hard to call their own.
The Heart You Need: On my to-read list; …if the Killjoys were telepathic space pirates.
Incredible WIPs:
Deathwish 500: absolutely INCREDIBLE world building - set in a futuristic cyberpunk city after the fall of the Fabulous Killjoys and Helium Wars leaves the earth uninhabitable. Levitating ‘zones’ of cities exist, each with 5 levels. The higher your level, the more money you have.And then, there’s Frank. Frank has a sort of unhealthy obsession with bot fighting…
Subject Zero Zero: Battery City 2115: As a last-ditch effort to find him, or whatever may be left of him, Gerard has attempted to clone his long-lost domestic partner, Frank, and the results are near-perfect. Subject Zero Zero has one mission: Find out what happened to Gerard’s runaway rebel of a boyfriend before Better Living Industries takes everything.
