Any good nurse Gerard fics?

ok, so the only nurse!gerard fic I've personally read was this one:

In Our Angelhood by vampirexchild [68k]

Mature | Frank/Gerard

After being spat out from the heavens, Frank Iero finds himself in the hands of Saint Raphael's Angel Sanctuary where kindness meets him. Shaken and fighting to regain his balance, Frank navigates his new life on earth and battles his skepticism in finding peace, discovering he doesn't need to be convinced to sink into the warmth of his nurse's smile that shines like the sun.

This was really wholesome! The only reason I didn't originally rec it was because the writing style wasn't quite to my taste, but like it's not bad, yk.

There's also Home is a Name by Arsenic, though Gerard's more of a lead doctor/clinic owner than a nurse in that. Otherwise, here are some I found in the ao3 search that are possibly readable:

let me be your shelter by vampirexchild

Sweet Cheeks by specialagentwoodfinch

I Love What my Hate Makes me Do by svns3ts

And some that seem to have frank as the nurse:

they drew blood by endlessnighttimesky

And Then There Was Frank... by happilyappled

[-skinny-bones-jones-]

I knew that he wasn’t the one when he asked if I listen to Rob Zombie.

Any hermaphrodite/intersex/boy pussy frank fics pls

Hm, I don't think I've ever read anything with that exact element tbh... the closest fics I can think of are like... most omegaverse fics, which very commonly have frank as the omega (here's my sparse a/b/o tag if you want peer reviewed, lol), and then like... transmasc!frank fics would probably have something similar to what you're looking for I'd imagine, but I'll admit I only have two of these under my belt and both are rated Teen+ (tagged trans character if you're curious, though).

Although now that I think about it, I will say this is a trope I've seen more frequently with Gerard, if you're willing to settle for that? Off the top of my head, there's the night is on your lips by pocketpepper (a gerard/adam pwp fic, gerard's gender/genital situation is completely unexplained) and In My Sights by setulose & xobarriers (frerard longfic in which gerard's fae and dualsex).

Idc the pairing but I’m desperate for any sickly!Frank fics. Honestly I don’t even care if it’s the main focus of the fic. I just need more

Ohhhh fuck there are A Lot, but I've unfortunately been ass at tagging it (though there is a sparse sickfic tag on my blog here)... lets see... ik it's a popular trope in period pieces, so like Shadows Fall Behind by anoceanmonster, Against The Wind by theopteryx, A World So Small by wordslinging, and some others that are in the tag linked above... And then it's also popular in high school fics, like Under Wraps by elle2706 & iforgetlikeanelephant, Remember Me as a Time of Day by cedarbranch, To The Midnight Land by akamine_chan (sickfic adjacent elements), Nightswimming by waxjism......... let's see, there's also Between the Wish and the Thing by ciel_vert, fleurdeliser, which has frank with tummy issues. Don’t Fence Me In by desfinado, which is Kinda sickfic adjacent? those flowers are bloodied, honey by ziemniok is a hanahaki disease fic, so that's kind of sickfic. A Kiss With A Fist by iamdali is another Kinda. Here I list some fics that might fall in line with sickfic. Also just. My hurt/comfort tag has some kind of adjacent/overlap sickfic stuff, so check that out 🤷

Additionally, some I haven't read but friends have thrown my way: rough 'round the edges by starryfrens, The Meaning of Meat by saints_for_girls, While We Were Sinners by saints_for_girls

Today I have a special treat for you guys--kickbutt author and uber blogger, Janie Hardy. If you guys aren't following her writing blog The Other Side of the Story, your're truly missing out. She has some great information over there. And it's all so neatly organized that I'm totally jealous. (*eyes my haphazard tags cloud over in the sidebar*) So today Janice is going to share tips on building a slow burning romance... A Slow Burning Romance I ran into a snag when creating the romance in my fantasy adventure trilogy, The Healing Wars. Since entire first book ( The Shifter) takes place over three days, there wasn’t much opportunity for romance. Nya, the main character, is eyeballs deep in trouble all the time and really didn’t have time for love. She was too busy trying to keep herself and her friends alive and safe. If I was going to make this work (and I really wanted to for these crazy kids), it had to be a romance that developed over the course of the series. I needed a slow burn, not a quick blaze.
