Summary
With nearly ten years working as an orca trainer at a local marine park, Frank Iero has never felt more fulfilled in his life, especially when he got to spend every day working with animals he cared for so much.
He thought he knew everything there was to know about aquatic life. That was, until a weird marine biology PhD candidate waltzed in.

Summary
Post-grad with little to show for it, Gerard returns home for the holidays. An unexpected run-in with an old flame derails his December. Spurred on by his brother, encouraged by a fatal dose of wintertime nostalgia, Gerard confronts a mess of feelings that never really went away.

Summary
A flyer pinned to the community bulletin board at Frank's favorite dive bar reads:
TATTOO TAP-OUT. $350, ARTIST'S CHOICE. I'LL INK YOU 'TIL YOU CRY. (8 HRS MAX). SHOW UP @ MXRDER SCENE TATTOO & LET'S DO THIS.
He tears it off the board and stumbles outside with a half-empty Schlitz. To drive home sober is but a suggestion.
***
OR, a weird middle-ground between a bottle episode and a dialogue study, in which Gerard Way is a tattoo artist and Frank Iero is an ink fiend willing to take eight hours under a needle in exchange for... well, he isn't sure.
Spanning a year's worth of tattoo appointments-- trending toward mutual therapy sessions-- and the occasional adventure, Frank and Gerard bond over croquet teams, missing cats, deep fears, and the belief that a city can shatter a heart, but the right person can put it back together again.

Summary
Illi McMillan is always around — she won't stop showing up. Frank Iero pretends not to care, pretends she doesn’t get under his skin. But the more he tries to ignore her, the more he starts to see her — really see her. And that’s when everything starts to fall apart. Or maybe fall into place.
OR — Frank Iero swears he doesn’t care about Mikey’s sister Illi, but he's lying, and it's starting to show.
