crazy mad for him

crazy mad for him

It's not like Gerard's stalking Hot Train Guy or anything. He doesn't know his address, or what he does, or whether or not he's single, or his name, or anything really, except that he takes the 7:45 train from Hoboken to the WTC, loves the Times crossword, has at least one tattoo, and is really, really hot. If Gerard ever got to the train station early, he might know more than that—Hot Train Guy, unlike Gerard, is always there well ahead of time—but since that would involve actually striking up a conversation, it's probably for the best that Gerard is chronically almost-late.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: This is so cute

A World So Small

A World So Small

Victorian AU. When Frank, a sickly young man, is advised by his doctors to leave London for the country, he makes arrangements to stay with his friend Michael, who just so happens to be in possession of a large, old, and somewhat creepy manor house. What Frank has no idea of at the time is that Michael has an older brother, whose presence in the house he conceals. Gerard is an eccentric recluse who spends most of his time hiding in the attic and avoiding any kind of interaction with people, but he finds himself fascinated with Frank, who in turn realizes that the house has secrets, and becomes determined to uncover them. When he finally does discover Gerard, their first meeting is only the beginning of their story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: I fucking love victorian/period aus and this is adorable and awesome as fuck

Cupid's Chokehold

Cupid’s Chokehold

Frank taps his foot on the tile and looks at anything other than Ray’s face for a long moment. Then he groans and says, "I suck at love, alright? I’m a fucking Cupid, a servant of Aphrodite for fuck’s sake, and I suck at making people fall in love.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: I've decided this is also one of my favorites maybe like my fourth

Our Time is Running Out

Our Time is Running Out

The year is 2005. The location is New York.

Earth has turned to hell. The people left are all gathered in New York. They're panicked, devastated and abject. People have always been stupid enough to ruin the world, be greedy and to treat all living things badly. Now God, in the form of a dark cloud circling the city, has taken his revenge on the humans.

Since year 1900 he made life miserable for the people. He sucked the gift of feeling happy out of the humans' systems. Death is a privilege you have to earn by walking the terrifying earth for 30 years. Killing yourself, dying in an accident or being murdered results in you being reborn and having to start the long journey all over again.

Now, 105 years later, there aren't many people left living. Gerard was born into the miserable world and is 29 years old. He is impatient to finally meet his maker and be able to find peace. Then he meets the cocky and lively Frank and Gerard's view of the world changes. Now it's a matter of trying to survive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: Let's just say I was not expecting that ending and wow was this depressing

Small Talk, Big Thoughts

Small Talk, Big Thoughts

Frank was five when he found Gerard. The little white haired boy was cowering behind the rose bush in Frank's nonna's backyard. His clothes were dirty and tattered, and his little arms were shaking, wrapped around his knees, pulled up to his chest. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: This is really fucking weird but I love it

[wowafrerardreclist]

Get Naked (I Got a Plan)

Get Naked (I Got a Plan)

Frank slides his hand all the way up to where Gerard's arm and tentacles fuse at his armpit. The difference between the feel of one beneath his palm and the other is literally the stuff his dreams are made of. His wet dreams.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: WOW THIS IS HOT also this reminds me of tentacle hentai which it basically is so that makes me really really happy

The Anatomy of a Fall

The Anatomy of a Fall

The unholy union of a high school AU and a ghost story. Gerard's life takes a strange turn when his family moves to a small town in Vermont and he discovers the locals aren't all what they seem to be. Also includes: unexpected nature walks, murder, pining, improper treatment of crime scenes, a number of bone-related puns, high school bullies, and a short-range shrub named Ferdinand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: This is probably my second favorite

[wowafrerardreclist]

Like a Stone in the Sea

Like a Stone in the Sea

Gerard's mind conjures monsters, a time-traveling version of himself, and a portal to another dimension. He still isn’t prepared for what he sees when he opens the door. There’s a man on Gerard’s bed, covered in blood, and surrounding him are… feathers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: I'm still kind of confused

Gerard Way’s (Vampire) Detective Agency

Pete, in Decaydance Mansion, with a yarrow stake. Frank and Gerard, in the greenhouse, with a plant of questionable origin. Bob, everywhere you look, with a gang of assassins for justice.

The Dove Keeper

The Dove Keeper

Frank is a seventeen year old who doesn't want to grow up and has little aspirations for anything beyond standing outside the local liquor store and getting drunk. But when he meets Gerard, the old, ageing, and well known fag artist, he is offered something he cannot turn down. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes: This is the most well-known frerard fic in existence, next to The Unholyverse. Many people consider it their favorite of all time, and I love it, but I think it's a bit tedious. Also, when they say age gap, they mean age gap.
