Paring: Frank/Gerard

Summary: There’s a dude sitting in one of the high-backed chairs opposite the reception desk. Mostly obscured by a fake ficus plant between them, the guy probably wouldn’t have been noticeable save for the lazy sprawl of his legs, the Chucks contrasting against the floral rug.

Legalities of the Heart

Legalities of the Heart

Length: roughly 20,900 Words

Pairing: Frank/Gerard

Summary: He laughed then, a small, amused chuckle, and it looked like he was holding back. Frank wondered when the last time Way had laughed properly was, and then caught himself. Surely that wasn’t being very professional.

‘You’re surviving?’ Way asked suddenly, and Frank nodded, surprised. He thought he was surviving pretty well, really. If you don’t take into account the constant fantasising and dreaming about his boss.

‘Then welcome to the team, Frank.’

Frank couldn’t keep the grin off his face even if he wanted to.

In Which Gerard Is A Quirky College Professor

In Which Gerard Is A Quirky College Professor And Frank Is the Best TA Ever

Length: ~ 12460 words

Pairing: Frank/Gerard

Summary: The beginning of the semester always gets Frank jittery, but in a good way. It’s one of those times when everything seems new and possible, and the stress of exams and term papers seems a lifetime away. 

TA-ing for a new professor, on the other hand, just gets him jittery. He’s been a TA since he was an undergrad, and had some really good experiences with it, but he’s also got his share of horror stories. You can never tell what you’re going to end up with. But the course is something he’s genuinely excited about being involved in, and as long as Professor Way isn’t a complete asshole, they should be fine. He checks the office number written in his planner one more time, but he doesn’t really need to. The newest professor always gets the tiny office in the corner. The door’s ajar when he gets there—Frank can see a bit of desk, a loose stack of papers, and a Starbucks cup, and he hears someone moving around, more papers being shuffled. He moves forward to knock at the same moment the door opens wide, leaving Frank with one fist in the air, face-to-face with a guy who doesn’t look all that much older than Frank himself. …Okay, no one warned him Professor Way was ridiculously hot.

It's Like A Bad Movie

It’s Like A Bad Movie

Length: 5,482 words

Pairing: Frank/Gerard

Summary: In all honesty, it felt like one of those bad movies where the guy did everything in his power to impress the girl, but she hardly even noticed him. Even though Frank had to admit that he rarely did anything to get Gerard’s attention. Sometimes, when he knew that a supervisor was out for the day, he would roll up the sleeves of his work shirt just to see if Gerard noticed his tattoos, but he never did. It was disappointing in the worst way, because his tattoos were one of the things he really knew how to talk about. If only because everyone asked about them when they saw them. Apparently Gerard was different, didn’t care, or really wasn’t impressed.
