warnings: none

*the descriptions incredibly short, but don't let that put you off; the fic is amazing and it's one of my absolute favorites. there is a part one but it's pikey (you definitely don't have to read beforehand but it's just as well-written as part two!)

*don't take that warning lightly; if mcd upsets you then don't read this fic. it's beautiful, one of the best frerard fics out there, but incredibly sad.
