If Frank was being honest, this summer had been one of his best yet. With his friends and boyfriend by his side, the bet finally out of the way, and a high-school diploma to his name -- he could pretty confidently say that he had all an eighteen-year-old boy could ask for. Unfortunately, he knows that all good things can't quite ever last, though, because August was ending quick -- and he knew that Gerard was set to head off to college any day now...

Honestly, Frank really still had no idea what he was meant to do in life. Gerard seemed to have it all figured out in college, or, so Frank thought, with tales of new friends and successes. Yet, the latter was still left behind in Belleville to rot -- hesitant to dive headfirst into the unfamiliar world of adulthood, and snagged on the thought of; if Gerard could find his purpose, then why couldn't he find his? 

It was no secret, either, that distance was putting a strain between him and Gerard -- communication scarce, and the loneliness overwhelming the fragile pair.  So, when Frank's offered a job down at his aunt and uncle's diner in Newark -- he accepts, ready to finally pull himself together, and to get his damn life started. The only lingering issue is: will distance bring Frank and Gerard closer together... or will it tear them -- or, rather, Gerard -- apart for good?

But I'd Like To Learn Your Name (Frerard Fanfic) by savethew0rld

Frank's cousin Richard offers him a job in the summer at the restaurant he owns. But it's not a restaurant. Richard doesn't even own a restaurant, he's a drug dealer, and he has Frank do the dirty work. When Frank is making a round he meets someone in particular. The boy is really cute, he likes all the music Frank likes, and Frank really thinks he likes him. His name is Gerard. Gerard always sneaks out, to drink, do drugs, smoke. His parents try to talk to him, but it never gets through. After a failed suicide attempt they just give up. They give Gerard to one of his moms close colleagues. Mrs. Linda Iero and her family. After another failed attempt lands Gerard in the hospital, Frank and Gerard get closer and closer. I update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. TRIGGER WARNING (suicide, self harm, drug and alcohol abuse, and I think that's all)

Like I Loved You Yesterday by AspynEmmilie

When Frank graduated high school, two things were certain: he wanted to go to college to be a teacher and he was unwaveringly in love with Gerard. Gerard was 6 years younger but the pair grew up next door neighbors with a fairytale story of falling in love. The fairytale ended when Gerard decided the age gap was too much, leaving Frank and his broken bleeding heart in the dust. After finishing his teaching masters degree the spring before his 25th birthday, Frank finds himself moving home to care for his sick mother and taking a very uninspiring job as an English teacher at Belleville High School. It was a job he was certain would be boring until he learns quickly that Gerard is a senior at the same high school. Emotions flare and tensions rise as Frank realizes the feelings he thought were long and buried are still very much around. Will Frank risk it all to be with Gerard again or are his wounds too deep to heal.

Alone // Frerard by march_5th_

Parents that act like their part of the fucking WBC... A flaming homosexual son... This is going to work out great. (The story will be better than the intro, I swear!!) Gerard's parents are religious, they value their beliefs above their sons. But Gerard doesn't believe in such things. Gerard was different than all the other people his age. He always had been. No one seemed to understand his strange ways, except for his brother, Mikey. Mikey was the only person Gerard gave a shit about, in fact, he truly loved his brother. Without his brother, Gerard would be alone. Oh yeah, did I mention Gerard was gay? When Gerard's parents found out, days later, there was one less member in the Way household. The night he was disowned, started as any ordinary day, and ended in silence. Gerard was kicked out of the home, with nothing but the clothes he was wearing, and whatever was in his pockets. As he stepped out the door, he took one final look at his brother. Mikey's facial expression was somewhat emotionless, but his eyes flooded with tears. That final fucking glance, it would haunt them forever... Gerard was homeless for weeks, until a short boy his age, caught him by surprise... **CAUTION** This fic contains: Mild drug abuse Moderate Alcohol Abuse Frequent Swearing Mild talk of Self Harm Smut (further in the chapters) Moderate violence Depressive Behaviors Enjoy!!

One day however, Gerard meets Frank, who happens to fall out of a tree while Gerard is walking to school and nearly crushes him.

As time passes by, Frank begins to learn more about Gerard and what he's going through, but will he be able to save him in time? *Warning: Contains mentions of suicide*

Don't Look Down by xxfallout_mcrxx

Gerard way and Frank Iero have always passed each other in the hallway but never spoke a word to one another. They are both alike in many ways. Both loners who feel like they don't quite belong. Frank mostly spends his days depressed and alone. The occasional hurtful remarks from his fellow classmates and father wearing him down. Frank's family issues seem to swallow him hole which is mainly why he feels like throwing in the towel... permanently. Gerard lives to protect those he cares about. Though, he has a bit of an edgy attitude most people learn to respect. There's more to Gerard than what the outside shows. His brother Mikey and best friend Ray know glimpses of how he really feels, and how complications from the past really fuck with his behavior. But, their differences don't keep them apart considering these strangers are forced into each other's lives when Gerard finds Frank attempting to commit suicide. Can Gerard help Frank without revealing his own problems and emotions or will they become too much to bare? *Trigger warning *Still editing mistakes( I'm fully aware my grammar sucks) *also warning this is terribly written. I wrote this when I was 13 and finished when I was like 15. Now I'm editing as much as I can to make it less embarrassing. Sequel "Never look up" both fanfics make me cringe tbh

Haunted {A MCR/Horror Fic} by SkeleBri

Okay, so Gerard wasn't exactly ecstatic about where they had ended up. Sure, it was Frank, his best friend's birthday, it was Halloween, and they even had a day of vacation from touring. But when the four of them, Gerard, Frank, Ray, and Mikey, ended up on the outskirts of some random town in Jersey stood in front of a long since abandoned house with all sorts of bad vibes about it, Gerard wasn't all too keen on exploring it. By all means, Gerard loved horror movies and all manners of creepy things, but there was just something wrong about this house, and Gerard knew it. And perhaps Gerard was just a little frightened about the fact that he had no memory of how they had gotten there... And perhaps Gerard was VERY frightened by the looming shadow he had seen in the second story window... --- Comments left on this story: "Okay, I need to say this.

pastel skirts and skinny jeans by RideWithTheDevil

Gerard is new to the school.. he finally got kicked out of his old one, now being forced to go to school with Mikey, not that's it's a bad thing. unlike what people would thing, Gerard and Mikey get along great..it's just other people that bugs Gerard. he sticks out like a sore thumb, hes soft spoken and has pretty feminine features as well as dressing up in pastel clothes (skirts). he gets into fights a lot and he's not afraid to stick up for himself but it gets tiring so he normally lets his bully's do whatever they need. at his new school he meets Frank. he's known to not let people push him the wrong way and he'll call you out on your bullshit. Frank finds Gerard...uh, interesting. it's hard to tell what Gerard is thinking most times and that really bugs Frank. Gerard tends to be in his own and Frank wants to change that...but how can he? Gerard will forever be known as the "cross dresser" and Frank will always be seen as "too good" for Gerard.

Heaven Help Us • Frerard by bubblegum_bullets

How can two people so different be so perfect? A story of romance, tragedy, healing, and finally happiness, because everyone needs a happy ending sometimes. - Gerard doesn't talk to anyone, he doesn't know anyone, he's completely absorbed in the little bubble that is his independent little life. He's homeschooled as well, which means he only ever leaves to get groceries. For how little he leaves the house, and how closed off he is, it's quite a wonder how he met Frank. Frank is an extrovert and he kind of lacks boundaries when it comes to making friends. He's curious and speaks his mind constantly, which sometimes gets him into trouble. It must be good for something though, because not many people bother to figure out Gerard. Little did either of them no how much they'd change each other's lives. #1 tag in #frerardfanfiction 6/06/2024

Frerard - New Beginnings by GFGF222

Frank is a newcomer in a quiet, sleepy town, trying to escape his past. It's dull and boring until the arrival of a newcomer that could be the making or breaking of him. Gerard has demons of his own and is shipped off to his Uncle's place in the ass end of nowhere to sort himself out. He can't imagine anything worse until he stumbles upon a punk kid who seems to have secrets of his own. Frank is determined to keep himself to himself, but Gerard is an annoying, nosy, pain in the ass, who, for some reason, Frank can't seem to get enough of. Will he eventually let Gerard into his life, and will it be all plain sailing for the two if he does? Mature content - target audience 18+ --------------- "I can't put anyone I care about at risk like that again Gee" Frank said as he stared intently at Gerard in the hope of conveying that he cared about him. "I want to get close, but I'm scared of endangering you." He rested his head on Gerard's shoulder, and the two just looked out to the ocean, allowing it to calm them with its gentle lapping. "I'm prepared to take that risk Frank" Gerard said quietly. "I'd risk it for you."
