When Frank breaks his local church's window, he finds himself in-debited to the new presiding pastor. As the two become closer, both men have to face up to faith, love, desire, and the consequences of breaking the rules.

The biggest dilemma in all of this is that Frank slept with his future husband. Now Frank's just got to make sure that the future with him stays intact, but it's not so easy when present day Gerard seems to hate his guts.

Well, I'll be honest with you, I don't really feel like talking. But considering my current predicament, I'll probably lose my mind if I'm not talking. So I guess I'll tell you the story from front-to-back to catch you up. It's not like I'm sleeping tonight, so I guess I'll start at the beginning. Not the when-I-was-your-age beginning, but our beginning. When we first met. Which would be about... 2006. Yeah, spring 2006. Two criminals who fall for each other, a psychopath with a grudge, a long lost brother, the death of an ex with strings attached, and a kidnapping plot for revenge, fifteen years in the making.

"In the end, will you sink or swim?" - Legend has it, that in the murky waters of this cove, sirens lurk -- far out into the horizon and dark depths, awaiting their next victim to allure with their sickly-sweet lullaby. Residents claim that they can still hear the clinking of pickaxes down in the collapsed ruin of the mines, or chills rolling down their spines as spirits brush past them. The full truth is, that Kitsfort isn't quite your normal town... Frank's mother had claimed that the fresh air would help his lungs, and that maybe living by the ocean -- in a secluded, northern town where the sun only shone a whopping two months out of the year -- that, well, maybe he'd grow to like his new life here. Frank wasn't as optimistic about it all, though. Kitsfort was as gloomy as you could get, and all the damned talk of ghosts was about to drive him insane. He wanted out, and he wanted out fast. It doesn't help his case when his freaky, next-door neighbor keeps knocking asking for him -- each encounter leaving an icky, never-ending mush in Frank's gut, his suspicions falling thinner and thinner the more that the truth seems to be revealed, and as more seems to go wrong. And, well, when he finds his heart getting snagged on unwanted feelings towards this mysterious boy -- and as the alleged tree protecting this whole town from evil entities burns, he knows that this is all going to go to shit, and it's going to go to shit fast... A dark tale of a town with its secrets, murky mysteries and unsafe waters, the twisted beauty of death, and trying to escape the inevitable... [Inspired by Ghosts -- Raina Telgemeier]

Frank's lost his parents when he was sixteen and was now a nineteen year old who had to grow up way too fast. He was still struggling to find a job that didn't leave him struggling for money at the end of each month, not only for his sake but also his eight year old sister, Diana. Gerard was a young famous artist. No one knew anything about him really except that he was an arrogant rich hermit who had no interest in interacting with anyone beyond selling them his paintings.

Gee and Frank are both juniors in high school. Lovers since freshman year they were practically inseparable. They were even voted cutest couple in the yearbook sophomore year. As soon as Gee finds out she's pregnant while only sixteen, it changes their lives. Fem!gee

Gerard Way, a French artist, is returning to his hometown in the States for the sudden funeral of his late father. Because of relationship issues, he won't be staying with his family. But the Ieros next door are fully welcoming of him staying in newly renovated basement until he returns to France. Little does Gerard know, Mrs. Iero wants him to meet and fall in love with Lindsey, the "perfect cousin" of the family. But little do Mr. and Mrs. Iero know, Gerard is falling in love with Frank, their outcast son. ( co-created with @-knivesChau- )

"You're an idiot, Frank." "Don't remind me." - The bet was simple. All Frank had to do was manage to get a girlfriend by the last day of school, and he'd have won. He had four months. Victory was practically handed to him on a silver platter -- prepared to win the bet smoothly, and painlessly. After all, he could just simply charm his way into some random girl's heart, and he'd be set. Except, things never quite go as planned in Frank Iero's life -- and when he finds himself beginning to rapidly fall for the humble, raven-haired artist who always seems to be lingering around, he knows he's in trouble. Oh, he's in big trouble. A story of first loves, closeted gays, teenage shenanigans, and the craziest four months of Frank Iero's life...

Frank is a skilled assassin. He kills people for a living. He is not meant to fall in love with someone he's been hired to kill. He's supposed to just kill the guy and get it over with. If that's the case then why is Gerard Way still alive?
