No sex, no drugs, no like, no love when it comes to today.

It wasn't written in the stars, it never was, but it still happened. And as the moon and the bright stars went down, the two could do nothing but watch

"Can I go to Art school?" your eldest asks you and your ex wife. "Why?" and you wonder why your voice doesn't listen to you at all. "I want to do something I'm good at, to make you proud," he answers, and you wonder how this five year old with brown hair with an innocence to him turn into a seventeen year old raven haired talented young man. He won't be happy anymore, but you realised as long as he's safe, it doesn't matter. "Just stick to school," you dismiss and you try not to cry so hard. You don't want to seem like a baby, but Gerard, no, Gerard just nods and storms out of the room, slamming his door in the process.

They lived. They thrived. They loved. He was sad. He didn't know. Only one of them remained. ***warning*** SLOW UPDATES SOZ

How to Pretend to Be Straight for Him. This won't be a full thing. It's more like a 6-part one shot sort of thing. It was originally about two girls, but I changed it so that it's about two boys. (Frank and Gerard) Frank is straight, and Gerard is not. He's hopelessly in love with Frank, while Frank has no idea whatsoever. This is about unrequited love. There will be triggers, and somewhat explicit content. THIS IS SAD. SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE SAD, DO NOT READ IT. Thank you, and enjoy x -xøFatherfrankie

He never speaks except to Jamia to order a large black coffee each day. Other than that, he says nothing. Ever. Frank hears talk about him, and Jamia says his name is Gerard. Frank wants to find out the truth about this mysterious regular who never talks but has a thousand words to tell. (All rights reserved. Please enjoy.)

I met her. And suddenly, I felt less alone. >●< This is a oneshot written specifically for a competition organised by tissuepaperhats. I hope you enjoy!

Frank feels very nostalgic one night, and when he suddenly meets with the guys, buried feelings become uncovered.
