This book was inspired by the quote by gerard way talking about frank iero that states: "y'know like everyone brings their own kind of heart to the band and he brought this reckless kind of passion that i think really expressed our music"
INTRO:
It was the summer of 2002 and Hail was a student at some college in New Jersey studying music and photography. With dreams of being either a concert photographer or in a band somehow. Even though she had no musical talent whatsoever. She seemed to have lost purpose in life along the way. Barely making it by at the cafe she works and never ever getting into a relationship with anyone. But college was supposed to be her fresh start. Why hasn't it started yet?

(WARNING: this is the first real fic i ever wrote, I was in middle school, I know that it's horrible but don't judge it too bad thanks) When Gerard Way and his little brother Mikey are sent to a New York boarding school, Gerard should've known what hell would break loose the second he met the cocky, arrogant, and undeniably hot Frank Iero. Sparks will fly, and not all are good, but in the end- well, just read to find out. note: yes this was/is kind of inspired by @therevengeparade's now-deleted fics CRTD and TPATWYYComplete
Wintertime (Frerard, Sequel to Summertime)
Frank is twenty eight: he's mentally stable for the most part, and well nobody has to know about pills he takes twice a day, do they? He's normal now, he's a person now, he's a fucking adult with an office job and he fucking hates it and that's fine, because he got out of the mental hospital three years ago, and these past three years of mundane nothingness have been the best three years of his life. Ten years ago, or so, Frank was in love with a boy called Gerard with fiery red hair and the personality of a switchblade knife, and ten years ago that boy called Gerard had killed himself. Frank still saw him though: hallucinations, as he knew them to be now, and it took him years in a hospital he never thought he'd get out of to convince himself of his newfound sanity, but he was okay now. Twenty eight year old Frank Iero had been officially 'okay' since he was twenty five. He hadn't seen Gerard again, and he didn't even think about the guy - he was just normal, and he was almost painfully content with being the secretary to someone with a five figure salary. But of course, on one fateful morning in December, that has to go and change, doesn't it? (Technically a sequel to Summertime, but I wouldn't say you need to have read Summertime to understand and enjoy this)Complete

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

The Man I Know I'm Not [Frerard] (Sequel To Tell Me I'm A Bad Man)
[This is the sequel to Tell Me I'm A Bad Man, it's not a necessity to read that first, but you probably should] Frank was under the impression that as soon as he'd graduated and moved to New York with Gerard, everything would be, well, perfect. Though he wasn't completely naïve - he knew that the presence of Gerard's apparently suicidal ex-boyfriend was going to make things difficult, but he didn't know that his intense distrust of the man would start to break down the relationship he'd tried so hard to keep. And then lies upon lies upon lies from everybody start to build, until nobody's sure of the truth anymore. Six months isn't long, but it's enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [sexual content, may be triggering for some individuals]Complete
