Summary
Poison and Ghoul had their first kiss in March. March 22nd, 2016. Poison's lips involuntarily twitch into a smirk for a split second- that is, until he remembers, and his heart gives a painful little twist. New life, new rules.
No thinking about breaking up the Killjoys, exactly 154 days ago. No thinking about Ghoul and Jenny’s wedding, exactly 160 days ago.
And definitely no thinking about Ghoul.
***
What if the Killjoys had broken up? What if they had all settled down, away from the action? And what if Poison and Ghoul had gotten married, but not to each other?
When Poison hears a love letter on the radio, he comes to the realisation that the words, the tone, the message, everything- sounds all too familiar.
It’s March 22nd again. But he'd fallen out of love with Ghoul.
Hadn't he?
Or, what if the MCR breakup had been a Killjoy breakup?Series

Summary
It is June 16th, 2015, gay marriage has been legalised and Gerard Way gets a call from a ghost. He stares for a moment in disbelief at the once-familiar avatar blinking on the screen of his car, the contact name he couldn’t bring himself to change.
Frankie is calling you.
***
“So, did you hear the news?”
He tries to smile. “Yeah. Yeah, I did. It’s great, isn’t it?”
The corners of Frank’s lips lift, automatic and stilted. “Yeah. I just…I thought I’d call, because, you know…” Because he’d wanted to marry Gerard as soon as he could.
***
When gay marriage is finally legalised, Frank and Gerard, now married to other people, confront their old ghosts and the reality of their situation. It could've been you and me. The thought hangs between them, unspoken but palpable as they talk for the first time in years. Gerard is drowning in his own guilt; Frank's anger threatens to overwhelm him.
Do you wanna get matching tattoos, have the same haircut, go steady and just be friends so we can fuck everyone who looks just like us, thinks like us, and feels like us too?

Summary
“When you decided to move to the countryside estate, our parents bade you find a wife, brother,” Michael said, looking mildly amused. “Not take a ghostly lover that is…decidedly not female.”
“His name is Frank,” Gerard supplied helpfully. “And he’s not my lover.”
Michael sighed.
***
When shy nobleman Gerard moves to the countryside, temptation presents itself in the form of Frank Iero, the mansion’s resident ghost. There are just a few complications- first and foremost, that Frank belongs to a graveyard and will continually grow weaker once All Hallows’ Eve passes. Secondly, and equally importantly?
The queen is dying and Gerard is secretly heir to the throne.

Summary
“You’re all right,” Frank reassured him. “I had brain worms to begin with.”
Gerard laughed so hard, Frank felt kind of proud of himself. “I know,” he gasped, wheezing for air. Strands of black-and-teal hair flopped into his face as he gripped the edge of the table for support. “Shit, sorry, I just had a really vivid mental image of what your self portrait would look like.” He gave Frank a sidelong look. “Swearing is definitely okay when it’s just us, right?”
Frank tried not to think about the familiarity of the words. Just us. “Yeah, duh.” He raised an eyebrow, feeling a smile tug at his lips.
***
When Frank meets Gerard, a 20-year-old art prodigy-turned-TA in his senior year of high school, sparks fly as an unusual friendship is formed. They may have bonded over a mutual, hilarious hatred of Romeo and Juliet, but Frank's not laughing anymore when spring rolls around and Gerard is climbing up a rope ladder to his balcony in the middle of the night. Then Gerard quits his job, citing romantic complications, and the only thing Frank knows is that he knows nothing at all.
