Summary
Frank is a broke print shop employee in a failing post-punk band. He feels guilty over his internet scams — are they really scams, though? He started with creepy older guys, but it got very tiring. The older women, on the other hand, are sweet to him. They pamper him, dote on him, and willingly give him money just for talking to them. Being a beautiful, kind younger man who listens, treats them like a person and is their friend, a boy they can spoil, while they’re lonely in their real lives. That’s not a scam, that’s practically a service, right?
Then, he meets a stunning woman on a forum who quickly turns out to be unlike any other.
(very loosely based on a tumblr post by @mercining:
Day 4 of writing a summary of a fanfic that doesn't exist: Gerard is an online scammer who poses as a beautiful woman to extort money from people. Frank is also an online scammer who poses as a handsome man. They will try to extort money from each other, unaware that the other is an imposter.)Bookmarked by backtostars

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.
i.e. a fanfic inspired heavily by 'tis the damn season because my music taste knows no bounds and i WILL write an mcr au based on a taylor swift song :)

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
Ray’s never met Mikey’s brother even though he has heard a lot about the guy. Now, they’re going to be roommates.
Ray doesn’t know how much baggage Gerard comes with (or how much of it he’s willing to carry), but he’d do just about anything for Mikey. If that means helping out his reclusive, weird brother, then so be it.
