The past can haunt you, settling into your brain like an unwelcome parasite. But what do you do when the past crawls out of its hole, becoming your present, your everyday? Ashley Benson is about to find out.

The classic high school Vampire Gerard Way x Reader. Being best friend's with Mikey makes for a wonderfully awkward friendship. You, he and Gerard used to be inseparable.

Will keeping a secret from your best friend about his brother ruin your friendship? Will you find a new friend along the way? Will you ever get to kick that total bastard vampire from the first two paragraphs of this story in the ass? I hope so! Warnings: Language-the f word, they are teens what can I say? Blood?

Projekt Revolution 2007. Dozen bands. Plenty of masks. Gerard hides behind sharp edges and being obnoxious. Bella wears a smile that never quite reaches her eyes. Onstage, they're flawless. Offstage, they can't stand each other-or pretend to. But the more they clash, the more they see what no one else does: the cracks in each other's armor. And once the masks start to slip, nothing stays simple. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers story about tension, timing, and seeing the truth behind the performance. (It gets better the more you read it. The story and the writing. JUST TRUST ME 🙏)

*Previously named We're Not Okay (I Promise)* Hadley had never had a great life. She got bullied, her home life wasn't exactly steady and she didn't have many friends, but all that was okay, because she had her best friend right there with her, Gerard. But Gee had been suffering from depression for a long time, and to Hadley's horror, took his own life. Hadley's whole world is flipped upside down, she's sent wild with grief at the loss of her best friend who'd promised to be there for her, she hates herself for not doing more to save him. However, Hadley is sent to an even darker place when her best friend returns, yup, as a ghost. He informs her he's stuck between Earth and the After Life, and he thinks he'll be able to leave if he helps Hadley recover. He's sure if he gets her someone else to love, then maybe she'd forgive her deceased best friend, and if she doesn't? Gerard could be stuck forever.
