The Obvious: I do not know any of the people whose names and public personas are used in this story, and neither believe nor mean to imply this ever happened.
Summary: They’ve been on the road less than two weeks, but it’s been almost four since Mikey and Gerard did more than peck each other on the lips.

( We can keep in time )

I've been making a playlist of the Conventional Weapons songs as we get them, and then listening to just those on repeat, for stretches while I'm in the car, and if I'm doing dishes or something, and it's definitely made me appreciate Ambulance and Gun. more than I did, and while it hasn't made me really appreciate where they would fit in with Boy Division and Tomorrow's Money on an album, I can see more now how they grew out of the same place. And then Gerard linked us to Zero Zero, and, more because it would make it easier to find in my iTunes than anything else, I added it to the CW playlist. And, totally unexpectedly, I feel like it ties Number One and Number Two together somehow.

Like really totally unexpectedly. I've been trying for the last twenty minutes to put my finger on even one way why so that I could make this post and sound even a little bit articulate, and then I decided to just start writing and see where that took me, but I still have nothing. Which is a problem for me being a music fandoms, really--my whole life, pretty much all I've had to say about music was either, "I like that," or "I don't like that," with the occasional foray into "that might grow on me."

So idk. Do you think I'm crazy? do you agree? as my us history teacher used to say, comments? criticisms? witticisms? Or any other thoughts on these boys in this band?

A/N: These are fictional events set during a fictional tour in the band's early days.
Summary: Gerard and Mikey are his friends, and they’re good guys. Some of the best he’s known, ever, and it’s stressful as hell on the road sometimes. If they need a little comfort, Frank’s not gonna judge.

One of the things I love most about fandom is that you can mention casually that you really need a gif of a certain moment of a video, and before you know it you have someone awesome like isweedan ripping it and someone awesome like annemaris making it for you :D :D :D



all the hearteyes in the universe for everything about this moment, from Gerard's face to the fangirls who made it possible for me to post it here.

Title: Let the Darkness Lead You Home
Author: rivers_bend

Warnings: This story contains vampire-related violence including graphic mentions of blood and blood drinking (both violent and eroticized), and some on-screen death. Only original (and mostly unnamed) characters die in any permanent way. Brief mentions of an animal injury. Some humans in this verse are controlled or owned by vampires, but all sexual activity is consensual.

Summary: Vampires are in charge and most of the humans on earth are prey, so Frank Iero's parents have him train as a cyber tech to protect him. Leaving the family he's born into may have saved his life, but his parents never could have expected the lengths he'd go to in order to find a new family to call home.

There is amazing art for this story here and an amazing mix here
