#frerard fic rec

[littleststarfighter]

“He thinks I have stigmata,” Frank said, because what the fucking hell, it couldn’t get any worse. He might as well just lay it out.

“Oh, well,” said Brian into his hands. “Of course.”

A piece I did right after reading Unholyverse by Bexless. It's an absolutely brilliant fic where Frank starts to develop stigmata and needs help. That comes in the form of Mikey's brother Gerard who is not only hot, but a Priest. It's wonderfully written and the religious discussions (okay arguments as Frank isn’t having it) are fascinating, and I say that as an Atheist. But most of all it's the delicious slow burn, hurt/comfort and pinning that develops over the series that dragged me in. To me those are my Kryptonite.

top five fics please and thanks. for a friend

HELLO ANON!! okay so i'm not sure if you're brand new to the fandom like i was or if you're someone who liked them back in the day and is looking for new stuff, so i'm going to give you a Classic Top 5 and then a Recent/Underrated Top 5.

The Classics (according to my personal taste and in no particular order)

Unholyverse by Bexless, aka priest!Gerard fic

Midgets and Madmen Run This Scene by autoschediastic, aka prison au

Alright for Kicks by dear_monday, aka Thee Prorev Frank Heat Fic™

Companion by onceuponamoon, aka caretaker au

Space Pirates AU by theopteryx, what it says on the tin

Recent and/or Underrated Fics

In All Our Lives by stoplightglow, aka time travel and art history fic

+44 by carleton97, aka fem!gerard bullets fic

Hold This Heart and Tie It Tight by samanthahirr, aka The Rope Fic™

Sincerely (Yours) by Tezy, aka historical tutor au

i only picked one fic from each author, but i really like everything these writers have put out! check out everything on their ao3 profiles for bonus recs. i know you only asked for five, but i also recommend Jiksa, synonymy, vesna (mrsronweasley), brooklinegirl, mistresscurvy, and sinsense. i also compiled a little rec list a few months ago of frerard fics that i don't see talked about as much, if you want to look at that too.

i also bookmark a lot of fics and mark my particular favorites as recs, which you can find here!

hope you can find something you like to read and let me know how it goes~

skin of the canvas is so good!!

#reccing frerard whatever im a grown man #it was extremely sweet and the way it handled addiction was really fucking good #and it was very much weird girl4weird girl which is very nice coming from a fic from 2008 #. look when youve read every good ray story out there you have to branch out

[littleststarfighter]

May I ask if there’s any mcr fics that you would recommend

These are what I've enjoyed so far. All Frerard (Frank/gerard) fic recs. I have many more to read (saved about 100 fics yikes) so will have more recs in the future if anyone is interested? A lot of supernatural, spooky and ghosty ones here. And, lots of Danger Days as that's what got me into reading them in the first place. Of course I started with what is seen as the holy fic trinity. These are just my taste. I can't promise that they’ll be yours, but hope there's something you like XD

Unholyverse by Bexless

“He thinks I have stigmata,” Frank said, because what the fucking hell, it couldn’t get any worse. He might as well just lay it out.

“Oh, well,” said Brian into his hands. “Of course.”

The Anatomy of a Fall by novembersmith

The unholy union of a high school AU and a ghost story. Gerard's life takes a strange turn when his family moves to a small town in Vermont and he discovers the locals aren't all what they seem to be. Also includes: unexpected nature walks, murder, pining, improper treatment of crime scenes, a number of bone-related puns, high school bullies, and a short-range shrub named Ferdinand.

A Splitting Of The Mind by Shoved2agree (Gaiamdma)

Gerard Way sees the world differently. Alone and institutionalised, Gerard claims that he is being hunted, and that his mind holds the key to existence. Does Gerard really hold such a powerful secret? Or is he just insane like everyone else in the institution?

Run by vesna (mrsronweasley)

Being a secret teenage werewolf is hard. Frank should know. He is one.

James Cameron Got It Wrong by ladyfoxxx

In which 2005!Frank and Fun Ghoul get it on. Then Frank accidentally winds up in 2019.

Shadows In The Parking Lot by Cellphonecharm_au

In which there’s a mass grave under Frank and Ray’s apartment complex, Frank doesn’t believe in ghosts, & Frank’s ex-boyfriend is, conveniently, a paranormal consultant.

The Science of Sleep by chimneythunder

It’s 2011 and Frank Iero’s life is pretty average until the night where he starts getting dreams about a strange, apocalyptic California where there’s rayguns, grey corporations and terrorists who use art and colour as a weapon. Interesting and fun at first, but the more he dreams about this world, the more he starts to wonder if it really is a dream... and the deeper he gets into this futuristic world, the more it seems to affect his life in the present day.

And just how exactly does everything all seem to link in with that douchebag black-haired artist who sits in Starbucks every day?

The Calypso Initiative by theficisalie

AU: A rise in technological and medical advancements combined with an unexpected surge in mutations around the globe can only mean one thing: superpowers. As a child born before the information boom of 2010 rocked the world with the official news of these "SuperHumans", Frank Iero was kicked out onto the street at nine years old. His power seems to be more of a curse than a blessing: his body creates and leaks a net of energy that sets those who are unaware of it on edge. He is saved at first by a rogue agent of the government who understands the plight of the homeless children, and then by a small team of government agents who bring him into The Institute: an underground compound set up by the government to teach those with emerging superpowers how to control and use their gifts.

Frank finally has a place where he seems to belong, and a group of friends: Mikey Way, a telepath; Gerard Way, whose body is a vacuum that neutralizes energy; and Ray Toro, a healer. All is far from perfect, however. Frank’s powers and training are put to the ultimate test when he has to fight both evil and betrayal to save not only the world, but also the best family he’s ever known.

synchronicity (cut me open, cut you down) by BackyardOwl 

Party Poison glares like Frank’s mere presence could’ve jeopardized the game. But then the scowl melts off and is exchanged with a smirk.

“I’m so glad you came tonight!” he says in the fakest sugary tone possible. “It’s important for a novice to observe, because you learn so much. And surely you learned from this, because that?” He motions to the arena behind him. “That’s how you play GridSlam.”

Frank is shaking. He’s this fucking close to decking the motherfucker. Novice? He hasn’t been a fucking novice since age fucking 11!

(a story about heated rivalries, mourning your loved ones, and cheating death)

Strange Things Happen At The One Two Points by lovebashed 

1930s. The Dust Bowl. Having no place to turn after his mother's death, Frank joins a carnival. By doing so a chain of events commence, that lead him to Pete. Frank and Pete couldn't be more different, but they both possess strange powers that gain momentum as their journeys unfurl. Both their lives, and that of those they know, will be irrevocably changed before the end. Carnivale AU.

I Believe We're The Enemy by Test_subject_306

"You know what?" Frank snaps, glaring at the person who used to be Party Poison. "You know, sometimes I wish they'd just killed you instead."

gerbert fic rec list

alright, kitty’s third fic rec list time! requested by @meowmeowcat759506 just after i had thought of doing one of these for gerbert, which is really fun! love you (platonic) clay <3

♡ = a favorite of kitty’s

1. On My Own: sad angsty pre and post break up gerbert

make sure to read all tags! very bwaaahhh and ough!! one shot. 642 words.

♡ 2. Well, We Kiss Like Painted Tigers: Written for a kiss meme prompt: "Bert/Gerard, smeared makeup."

trigger warning for mentions of drugs, alcohol, and addiction! god, i adore this one. one shot. 829 words.

♡ 3. Extent of My Sin: “And I don’t want to think too much about what we should and shouldn’t do.” Originally written June 2005.

trigger warning for drugs and sex! i love this one’s vibe, and it uses nine inch nails lyrics, which is cool! one shot. 2,067 words.

4. Clumsy Heart: The summer Bert and Gerard got together, Gerard was busy falling apart.

contains sex, drugs/alcohol/cigarettes. surprised me by not having a sad ending! has a fun sort of chaotic summer romance vibe to it. gerbert fics actually written in 2000s type time hit different. one shot. 2,266 words.

♡ 5. the confrontation: Bert confronts Gerard and calls him out on, basically, everything.

HOLY SHIT lmao. fighting (verbal and physical), cigarettes and alcohol, minor discussion of body image, f slur, minor nsfw. background past frerard. basically, post-break-up gerbert fight featuring an amalgamation of prorev theories, openly bisexual bert, sad little puppy unrequited love frankie iero, and deeply closeted gay gerard. daily dose of drama for someone who doesn’t leave her house (me). one shot. 7,938 words.

6. your love is my drug: Bert loves mornings like this. Waking up with his boyfriend kissing him sweetly then maybe later, they'll make those awesome waffles or maybe they'll have morning sex or whatever. He fucking loves this.

fluff. contains sexual content and background frikey. really cute!! one shot. 2,004 words.

♡ 7. Blush: Gerard lives in black and white. He’s fine with it. But when he meets Frank, everything changes.

soulmate au, but with a theme of “people can make their own choices about their soulmates.” starts out as frerard, but gerbert is endgame! has sad parts but a very happy ending. featuring background petekey, ashlee simpson (who i adore) and a baby! trigger warning for character death and some sexual content. multi chapter. 9,181 words.

8. Just Ask: Bert has plenty he wants, but doesn't want to ask.

costume party! warnings for sexual content and alcohol, and also for teh fact tha they wear cop costumes, lol. one shot. 4,517 words.

9. Parents’ Weekend: Gerard loves the guy, he really does. Really. But sometimes Bert, bless his heart, just gets things...Wrong. Despite his wonderful intentions.

very cute short thing about bert being nervous to meet gerard’s parents after they’ve been dating for a while. no warnings except swearing, but my blog url currently has a curse word in it, so anyone reading this is probably fine with that, haha! one shot. 483 words.

[imadeoutwithmikeywayonwarpedtour]

yes

literally any of inlovewithnight's gabekey/petekey/petegabekey fics.

not smashing windows. obviously. (gabekey, nj hxc scene pre-2001) as far as i'm concerned this actually happened.

pages in your passport (petekey, mikey is still in mcr but pete plays soccer)

romantic victories of peter the great (petekey, college au)

leave the lights on when you stay (petekey -> petegabekey, mikey is a sex worker and pete and gabe are grad students)

if it's the drive back home (petekey, pete plays in arma angelus and mikey is a nurse in chicago)

burn, about to burn, or still on fire (petegabekey, but it's complicated lol. magic au)

run away with me any time you want (gabe & mikey, they go to the beach

the brotherhood of the travelling hoodie (gabe & pete & mikey, the midtown hoodie)

put your mouth over the stupid things we're taught we ought to say (gabekey, gabe goes on tour with mcr as a bass tech after midtown breaks up)

heads up, hearts down (petekey, highschool soulbond au)

other authours / ships

stars are aligned for me tonight by jiksa (petekey, authours au)

play and record, held down together by morphosyntactic (petekey, high school au)

circuit 'verse by stoplightglow (frerard & petekey, circuit racer au)

this is a love song by brooklinegirl (petekey, summer of like)

a shot that you can chase by stoplightglow (frerard, heist au)

both by antspaul, pinkish (frerard, frank is a single dad) and the way it was (always meant to be) (rayrard, no band au) i've also heard their fic runoff is great!!!!
