Yesterday's Kids

COMING SOON: YESTERDAY'S KIDS; A KILLJOY FANFICTION

Hi there!

PLEASE READ ALL OF WHAT IS IN BOLD DOWN BELOW (the rest is just me talking too much because I do that)

I am so so excited to start this. I've had the storyline in my head since February (2019)

It was driving me crazy keeping it all inside, so I started writing bits and pieces of a Danger Days-esque story, called "Stay With Me?"

I ended up dropping that one like a dirty sock. It sucked anyway, and don't argue, it had barely 37 reads (and 11 chapters oh my god) for a good reason. So I took it down, hid it away in my drafts, and finally decided "Fuck it. I'll write a fanfiction."

This was months before I even thought of "Listen Before You Go." I didn't even know my co-writer for LBYG yet.

LBYG was like a floral, pastel-edited greeter to my imagination, and my imagination is a black fishnet wearing, .22 magnum bearing fuckup with a bloody nose and an attitude problem.

I changed my OCs to fit the bill of our boys in leather and gave them laser-guns and said "Okay, Imagination, do whatever you want." and this happened.

I've always loved the Danger Days aesthetic and the idea of Killjoys surviving in a wasteland out of spite to an evil corporation making promises of their impending doom.

The story following Na Na Na and SING, it's just so exciting. After digging a little deeper into the videos and photos, I just got totally hooked. And I'm talking, up at four a.m., crying at my phone about how fucked up "Better Living Industries" really is.

After months of writing little scenes, ideas, and prompts, I just totally melted into the world that My Chemical Romance created for us.

I've edited, changed, and rewritten so much of this that it's barely the story I had started with. It's insane. And I cannot wait to share it with you.

I've never actually written a story in this style or genre before, but I've always wanted to, and I'm really hoping it turns out right. I am so fucking excited for this.

Please read the following:

This is the heaviest thing I will have written and posted.

There will be heavy topics and strong themes of: DEATH, violence, killing, fighting, sex, loss, vomiting, homophobia, alcohol/drug use/mentions, and more.

(think, walking into an R-rated action movie)

I will put warnings whenever I can, but these things will happen throughout this story.

Do not read this story if these things will trigger you in a dangerous way.

I do not want you to read my story if it is a risk to your health and safety. I just want you to be safe and have a good time reading, instead of being sick to your stomach.

I am a very cautious person, and these warnings out of context are likely making the story seem worse than it really is.

But I'm warning all of this for safety reasons, in case someone unknowingly steps into this thinking it's all fluff and cuteness, because there IS fluff and cuteness, don't get me wrong, you just have to know that The Shit does go down.

Get some popcorn and a water, baby. You're in for what I hope is a wild ride.

XOXO -Melody
