Summary
"When they were younger, it had been easier to ignore. Or tease. Gerard would pat his back or hold his hair away from his mouth. Mikey always had the antacid on hand or mouthwash, but Gerard was the clean up crew. Always the one who didn’t mind the messy parts. Clean the sinks, the floors, and the nasty venue toilets. Wipe away sweat or tears or smudged eyeliner with his thumbs."
A Companion Fic to "The Resurrectionist" from Gerard's POV between Chapter 4 and 5.

Summary
"Maybe Mikey has just never thought much about how to maintain a friendship with someone like Frank, who used to be the one that made things easy. Affable, chaotic, and never without a long drawn out story, Frank carried their friendship as kids. So maybe he’s partially to blame. When Frank stopped calling him, he just assumed that eventually he’d pick the phone back up. That Frank knew on some cosmic level that Mikey was here.
Because Mikey has always been here."
AKA: Some of the events of "hang me up unfinished" as seen through the eyes of one Mikey Way.

Summary
“We definitely shouldn’t.” Frank agreed, but his hands were on Gerard’s ribs. Underneath his shirt, sliding over bone to find the soft dip of his stomach. Lower still, right to the edge of the elastic waistband of his shorts.
“I could tell you no,” Gerard is struggling to find even ground, the only things stopping either of them are a thousand miles away. No wives, no children, not even the rest of the band. Just an empty green room. Gerard presses back into the thick swell of Frank’s chest, his stomach, and the hard throb of his erection against the edge of his thigh.
OR
A filthy, smutty one-shot that broke my writer's block. Frank can't take Gerard's fuck-ass shorts anymore and does something about it. Gerard is into it.

Summary
"Deja vu hits like a train. The memory of that fuck ass mansion and that man. Gerard and Frank had agreed, reluctantly and after a massive blow out fight, to never mention it again. That they had somehow hallucinated the whole thing because of the fucking haunted mansion they were trying to make music in. For the last twenty years they had never brought it up. Not even when Gerard kissed him backstage in Seattle on that first night bringing the Black Parade back to life.
Especially now, they don’t even discuss kissing each other.
But that had been some version of Gerard. Wicked and older (back then anyway) and confident. A man who wore that nickname, Party Poison, as proudly as the skin tight pants he had on.
Like a bad dream, here was himself."

Fun Ghoul time travels to the future and only sex can send him back (that's what they told him and he's sticking to it).

Summary
Smutty Time Travel AU - Frank and Gerard are the last men standing at the Paramour when an unexpected and heavily armed guest drops in unannounced.
The gun lowers first, then, slowly, the figure lifts a gloved hand to their face. They hook two fingers under the bandana and tug it down, fabric sliding to rest loosely around their neck. Next come the goggles, peeling off their face and tossing them to the floor, hitting the hardwood with a hollow clack.
And then Gerard is staring at his own face.

Summary
"Then it’s only the rise of the stage and a huge amp between him and the man behind the guitar.
Gerard doesn’t need to breathe to live, yet he sucks in a deep breath anyway. Beneath the smell of sweat, beer, and all these bodies bleeding so carelessly, is the scent of the guitarist. Who looks down at him through half closed eyes. The shape of a butterfly high in the center of his throat.
He smells like blood and smoke, like saltwater at the edge of a much bigger city than this backwards town. It makes Gerard’s teeth ache in a way he hasn’t felt in years. A hunger that yawns open in his stomach, not just for blood, but for something much more. An awakening of all the years he’s spent alone in that tiny house with his shitty bags of cold blood."
Or
Gerard is a lonely hermit in a small town when Frank comes for a gig. Includes smut and secrets and middle age men.

Summary
"Right. So he isn’t a home wrecker. This is totally normal. He just has to knock.
Gerard takes the next step up to Frank’s door. Only it swings open before he can even untuck his hands. Revealing Frank fucking Iero. His hair is getting long again, but he’s gelled it all back from his face making the curls fluff behind his ears. The sweater he’s wearing is the ugliest thing Gerard has ever seen. A knitted Christmas sweater with Santa flipping off anyone who might see, flying across a dizzy pattern of triangles. At the bottom is says ‘Ho ho fucking ho’.
“Are you trying to give me a seizure? Jesus fuck. That sweater…” Gerard wheezes and dramatically closes his eyes before Frank can even say hello.
“Wow, what happened to ‘hello?’ Or ‘sorry for creeping on your doorstep for five hundred years’?” Frank whips back as fast as ever. The man looks delighted when Gerard cracks an eye open. Those hazel eyes growing warm and dark, cheeks stretched up until they clearly hurt from his smile."
Or the unexpected return to this universe for some truly filthy old man smut

Summary
"The only reason he’d joined this club was because of his daughter. She was eighteen. She was going to college. And Gerard was single for the first time since he was in his mid twenties. At fifty he was a year into his divorce and friendless. Well that wasn’t true, but his closest friend was happily married still so he could only nod his head in sympathy to the woes of being single again. His brother was also married and while he’d been divorced before, he didn’t fall into the recluse genes of their family.
Gerard had tried the rebound thing at first, but it had not felt like when he was twenty. Now he was just…lonely.
So his daughter had forced him to join the most embarrassing group at the library; Divorced Dad Club. That was its real fucking name. DDC. Though the gender enforcement was more lax and queer (this was Los Angeles after all), the name was awful. Gerard Way feared he was also one of the oldest people at the meeting."
OR
The one where Gerard is middle age and divorced and Frank is middle age, divorced, and in his slut era. Some might call this a meet-cute, I call this self-indulgent smut.

Summary
"The ride to Gerard’s hotel is actually not that weird. Other than one teeny, tiny, pesky thing: he smells fucking amazing.
This kind of primal scent that Frank doesn’t even know how to fully describe (still).. Maybe because he’s trying desperately not to breathe it in too deep. Or it’s the fact that the moment he saw the other man standing there in his faded and worn out jacket it was like stepping back in time. The sweep of his messy hair, now long and streaked with gray at his temples, the way he hugged Frank when he helped him move his bagged into the trunk of his car, and the smile lines that crinkled all the way across his cheeks did a lot to fuck with his head.
Yet it was that scent that was driving him nuts."
Or: the one where Frank is a werewolf and has been for a decade and he still can't get over Gerard. Plus smut.

Summary
"Gerard is pretty grateful that his brother absolutely did not want to stay with him (which went kind of like ‘is Frank going to be there? No thanks’) and Ray had politely declined. It’s not that he doesn't want them in his house, they’ve been over a thousand times, but it does make having Frank to himself a lot harder. So when they both file out after dinner he’s relieved.
It’s just that he’s kind of been waiting for just a moment to have this. Between holidays and distance and other obligations to bands and art he’s only seen Frank once since everything happened. He’d flown his ass to Jersey and blown Frank in the car (though the resulting cramp in his back had maybe made it not worth it).
And now they’re alone. No kids. No family at all."
Or The last installment for real this time because we have a happy ending. There's also more smut!

Summary
"He almost laughs when he sees Gerard’s name flash on his phone. No coy text this time. Frank answers it without a second thought, his face damn near split in half with amusement, “Domino's pizza, can I take your order?”
“Frank, do you know how long I’ve been looking for those shorts?” Gerard does not play around, he does sound like he’s trying to be stern but there’s an edge to his voice that sends heat right to the core of Frank’s stomach.
“One pineapple and pepperoni pizza, surely you can eat all of that by yourself Mr. Way.” Frank decides that he can also skip answering in place of playing his own game. He sets his guitar back in the case before slouching back into his couch.
“You sneaky little fuck, I should have known it was you. You’re going to stretch those shorts out and I’ll never be able to wear them again.” Gerard also skips through the game, practically growling down the line at him. It’s kind of hot."

Summary
“Hey, we can totally handle this civilly.” Frank protests, but is drowned out by both Mikey and Ray saying in unison, “I call dibs on Frank.”
And Gerard isn’t even surprised, he actually laughs because Frank is a clean freak, he always has been. Where Gerard drops his towels and clothes in unruly piles no matter how short of a stay it is, Frank always has a place for everything. Where Gerard really hates the effort of showering, Frank will shower twice a fucking day. So he rolls his eyes at them all when Frank shoves at Ray’s shoulder, pushing him into Mikey like a domino.
--
Or the one where jealousy creates problems and no one has a conversation. There is, however, smut.

Summary
"There is a faint red mark on his cheek from getting slapped. Gerard feels flushed and cold and undone all at once. Mortifying, truly awful.
“Fuck yeah, Frankie.” It slips off his tongue so easy, so normal that it’s not until it’s out that he freezes up a bit again. He stumbles over his next words like an idiot. “You ever done an ice bath before? My PT has this deep bath they fill with literal ice cubes and you’d think it would suck, but it’s pretty much the best thing after running around on stage like tonight. We should get one for the tour, eh?”
And that makes Frank laugh, his smile contagious and awful. Gerard grins to himself and looks away to where his hands are gripping his knees in white-knuckles claws. If he can make him laugh then yeah maybe this is all worth it. He’s pretty awful at fulfilling other people’s dreams, but he hopes this tour can make up for that.
Frank deserves it. He really fucking does."
Or two idiots fall into old habits and start a new, worse habit in the process.
