I can’t believe you’re still out here, my dude. Quarantine has released some old pent up emo angst and I’m back here somehow. What ever happened to Night Swimming, I cant find it through any of your tags anymore?

i almost spit my drink out reading this ask lol. if Nightswimming was gone i don't know what i'd do...

HERE, ANON

(i rewatched LOTMS this afternoon/i'm feeling emo too)

[theultimatefrerardreclist]

hey idk if this blog is still active! but uhm, i was wondering if you happened to know of this one fic where gerard is basically a werewolf, it’s relatively long and him and frank fell in love in the city. gerard has to travel up to a cabin with mikey every month because of the whole werewolf thing. and at some point frank follows them because gerard’s just been making up excuses. gerard as a werewolf finds frank lurking outside the front door, and for whatever reason he turns back into a human.

Word Count: 144k

Summary: Meaningless hookups are easier than dating when you’re a werewolf. That is, until your brother sets you up on a blind date with someone you’ve already *ahem* ‘seen’ before.

[theultimatefrerardreclist]

I can NOT believe I am sending an ask in the year of our savior MCR but I am looking for a fic for that sweet Nostalgia. I’m like. 70% sure it at least has ferard in it? Based around frank/Gerard getting transported into different fairy tales and one of them lives in the fairy tale and they have to overcome each obstacle to continue to the next fairy tale. Pretty sure it’s frank and he got a weird book or somethin. Thanks so much!!!!!!

shit is WILD, anon

It's gotta be:

Love and Other Cliches by xrysomou and xaritomene

Word Count: 28k

Summary: Bob Bryar is the best witch in the whole damn scene, even if he does say so himself. Which is just as well, because he's got responsibilities, most of which involve his charge, Gerard. Mainly, Bob's supposed to keep Gerard from falling down a well, or losing his sketchpad - little things, but Bob is a conscientious guardian. But when it becomes obvious that Gerard and Frank are hopelessly, silently in love with each other, Bob suddenly has bigger things to worry about. Nothing he's tried has ended in the declarations of love he'd been aiming for (not the fireworks, not the sunsets, not even the four hours they'd spent in locked in a closet). In a last, ditch attempt, he resorts to real spellwork, the epic, Cinderella kind, and now Frank and Gerard are stuck in a romance novel... with only one way out.

Warnings Include: Bob

idk if you’re still around, but do you know what the fic is called where ray and frank are neighbors and rays apartment gets haunted and they have to get gerard (franks ex :0) to fix it? and I think frank gets possessed but only for a few minutes

*coffin lid pops off*

Ah yes, Shadows In The Parking Lot

Summary: In which there’s a mass grave under Frank and Ray’s apartment complex, Frank doesn’t believe in ghosts, & Frank’s ex-boyfriend is, conveniently, a paranormal consultant.

*reaches over and pulls coffin lid back on*

I came very close to dropping a rec for this before I even finished reading it. Kind of a slow build, but this is some A1 Demon!Frank: 

Fate Don’t Make Mistakes by corruptedkid on AO3 Rating: Teen Word Count: 81k Summary: After meeting the wrong end of a blade, Gerard wakes up in a mysterious realm called the Under. He's surrounded by demons who all seem to think he's something special, but none of them will answer his questions. They reveal nothing except the fact that he died too soon. The only person willing to help is Frank, his self-appointed guide, who swears he can bring Gerard home. He escorts Gerard across the Under, and together they confront enemies, unexpected feelings, and secrets of the darkest kind.

In the end, all it takes is one misplaced soul to bring worlds crashing down.

[theultimatefrerardreclist]

hey, do u kno a kind of long fic where frank and greard become roommates in a universe where the band doesnt exist and near the end them and their friends end up in a boat or smth and theres a storm? sorry if this is 2 vague. also do u have a copy of the fic What I Go To School For anywhere? it seems to be deleted from the internet. thanks

I re-read this one a lot! It’s Conclusions by Bexless ! (On AO3) 

As for ‘What I Go To School For’ - I can’t find it either! I did find a podfic version that is still up, which can be found here. 

[theultimatefrerardreclist]

I’m looking for a fix I read a long while ago where frank has healing powers and Gerard has super strength and the only way they can get their power s to go away is if they’re near eachother thank you!!

 ‘Septicemia’ by innocent_wolves !

[theultimatefrerardreclist]

Remember Me as a Time of Day by corruptedkid on AO3 Rating: Teen Word Count: 87k Summary: When it came to Frank's senior year of high school, he was prepared for the worst. But he definitely wasn't prepared for a crash course on the supernatural world, a new school ruled by gossip, or a guy called Gerard with more sadness in his eyes than any living soul could take.

Hi so i don't really know how tumblr works but can you make a compilation of your tags or something so i can read through your posts? I'm using tumblr on mobile by the way

edit: When I hit the little magnifying glass [search] icon on our blog every tag shows up on a drop down as suggestions and will filter the posts by tag - so I would start there if you are on mobile. Not sure if this works for android, etc. (I am on iphone)

'Ghost Hunter' is Too Bravo Channel - lilac_one & strangecobwebs on AO3 Rating: Teen Word Count: 24k Summary: When Frank finally opens the ballroom in the hotel he's inherited from his aunt, he expects it to be in bad shape. He isn't at all expecting it to look like it does. Luckily, Mikey's brother Gerard has just the expertise necessary to solve their problem.

[theultimatefrerardreclist]

Is there any fics at all where Frank is either a giant or is extremely tall!!??? I need to know this now!! 😤❤❤❤

The exact opposite of what you are looking for came to mind when I read this ask: Honey I Shrunk Frank 

I was able to find [this little oneshot], where Party Poison gets his hands on a shrinking device, which effectively makes Frank giant. (NSFW FYI) I hope this fills your mighty need, anon! 

[theultimatefrerardreclist]

I really need help, I read a fic a few weeks ago where Frank worked in a library and wanted to become a reference librarian but he was stuck in processing or something mending books. I think Gerard started working there and was teaching some sort of class and they become friends? Thanks

Could be... As The Ink Dries by ViciousVenin? 

[Haven’t read this one but added it to my reading list... a couple things from the library tag just ended up on my reading list actually. ; ) Have a nice day, anon.]
