   Summary

   It's 1977 and Charley's lowk dying...Frank's also dying but in a more figurative sense, and Mary just wants her emotionally constipated friends to get their heads out of their asses.
   Not gay in like a Heated Rivalry way, mostly just homoerotic as hell.
   will be updated whenever i get motivation
