Summary
Frank has looked forward to finally starting college just a little too much, and yes, partly because it means he gets to hang out with Mikey's older brother again, who left for college a year ago already. But Gerard's just a cool guy and Frank hopes to do cool stuff together, like meet his friends, go to concerts, watch movies, get drunk at a party and fuck. No, hold on, the last one wasn't supposed to be on the list. But surely that wouldn't make things awkward ... right?

Summary
Ever since Gerard Way got transferred to his school, Frank's life has been hell and his only goal is to survive his final year and, well, maybe harbour a secret crush on his bully. That is until their relationship starts developing into something else - something that is messy and complicated and far from ideal. But love is supposed to hurt ... at least when you're a masochist.

Summary
“Maybe we should have a truce.”
Gerard laughs, a real one, and Frank feels a queasiness that he can’t attribute to anything concrete. “What are we, five? You act like we were Montagues and Capulets. It’s fine, we can try to be friends.”
“Cool.” Frank pauses. “By the way, about the call earlier – Geoff wouldn’t let me fire you. But, like, I hope that can turn out to be a good thing. As much as I hate to admit it…”
He trails off. Gerard raises his eyebrows. “Yes?”
“God, I don’t want to say it. But I guess it’s objectively true that working with you would probably make my book better.”
Gerard laughs again. “It sure as hell can’t make it worse. I did read your manuscript, it’s awful.”
“Hey, okay. I thought we called a truce.”
“For now,” Gerard says lightly.
