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?

Heaven Help Us • Frerard
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 6/06/2024Complete

Animals {Frerard}
**HONOR AWARDS 1ST PLACE FANFICTION** Frank's life changed forever when he was 22 years old. And it will never be the same again. Two unbelievable, inexplicable events occured, driving off any normalicy in Frank's life. One good. One bad. But both of them crazy. Insane. Firstly a mysterious, morbid string of murders occured in Frank's town, just metres from his house. The victims were mutilated, slits cut along their bodies. The area fell into panic, the press labelling the serial killer as 'America's Ripper'. The second crazy thing was less of a thing, and more of a person. Gerard Way. An abnormally charming, strangly confident outcast that made it his duty to befriend Frank. But Frank has never met anyone like Gerard, and he starts to fall for him. Together, the two of them must face the menace that haunts the neighborhood, and find out if their relationship will break or hold strong.

Blind Date
"Look, I'm not saying this will be a thing. I'm just saying you two would get along. They're funny, they love movies, music, they've got this... thing about horror soundtracks. You'd actually have stuff to talk about." "Uh-huh," Gerard says, suspicious. "And what makes you think she'd even want to go out with me?" "Because," Mikey says, taking another slice, "they're just as hopeless as you. Maybe even more. I told them about you, and they laughed for a full minute." Ray snorts. "That's promising." Gerard sighs, dragging a hand over his face. "Why do I let you two talk me into these things?" "Because you love us," Ray says sweetly. "In your dreams." Mikey leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Come on, Gee. One dinner. That's all I'm asking. If it sucks, you can leave early and say I owe you for the rest of your life." or the one where Gerard is set up on a blind date and ends up discovering something new about himself. --- Hello everyone, I've been carrying this idea in my mind for a long time, and I'm thrilled to finally share it with you today. It's a story about self-discovery and reflecting on your life at a mature age, because it's never too late to truly discover who you are. Enjoy the read!Complete
