MCR Fanfic Rec/Review List #2

Welcome in!

I recently created a long mcr fanfic rec/review, that you can find here. This post is a continuation of that! Less introductory yapping in this one, I promise. I read a lot more fics since writing the initial rec/review list, and I just HAD to make another one. Please give all of these a chance! This took longer than I expected oops...

Ships: Frerard & Fun Ghoul/Party Poison, Gerard/Bob Bryar (yep).

AUs: Office Workers, Gardening Services, Ghost/Paranormal, Superheros/Radio Show Host, Murder Mystery, and more!

Without further ado these are my picks!

The Science of Sleep by chimneythunder

Rating: Teens and Up (there is smut near the end) Pairing: Frerard & Frank/Party Poison Main POV: Frank AU: Modern World/Danger Days Status: Completed with 9 chapters and 93k words Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/883120 My Summary: Frank is living a boring office-job life, but one day he starts having reoccuring dreams about a certain apocalyptic California...Little does he know, they aren't really dreams after all! He also meets an artsy guy at a coffee shop that is somehow connected to all of this? Frank dreams start taking over his waking life...what is really going on here?! Personal Thoughts: This fanfic was really fun!! I was surprised with how unique the premise is here. Frank travels to the Danger Days world everytime he falls asleep, and reading about his journey from thinking it's a dream, to figuring out it was reality after all was super entertaining (this isnt a spoiler as a reader you know its real). I also love the portrayal of everyone in this story, especially Ray and Party Poison, they're just so fun and believable! I can't stress enough how original this story is, honestly a super fun take on the usual Danger Days AU! It also has excellent writing and pacing, can't beat that!

Living for the knife by drunkonyou

Rating: Teens and Up (no smut) Pairing: Ferard Main POV: Frank AU: Superhero Frank x Radio Show Host Gerard Status: Completed, oneshot with 50k words Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41442144 My Summary: Frank is what you would call a superhero, after rescuing Gerard from being mugged by a mysterious man and saving his life, he almost quits being a superhero due to the trauma of that night. Inspired by his rescue, Gerard starts a radio show where he discusses what Frank is up to, and his listeners share their experiences, theories on what his secret identity is and...ultimately lots of false rumors as well. One day, Gerard recieves a weird listener on call who claims to know who this hero really is...and that he wants to come back for more. It looks like Frank is going to have to rescue Gerard once again! Personal Thoughts: This is a shorter fic, however it felt really long in the best way! I was super invested in the plot of the story, and Frank suffers SO much in this one, it's really sad actually. The relationship Gerard and him build is super cute, who doesn't love a classic rescuing scenario?! I don't have tons to say about this, but the atmosphere is super cool and film noir-esque! Radio show host Gerard is an excellent idea all things considered, please give this one a read!

Shadowplay by findingsaturn

Rating: Explicit (smut near the end) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Frank AU: Ghost/Witchcraft/Vampires & Murder Mystery Status: Completed with 27 chapters and 147k words Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20872241 My Summary: Frank lives in a small town, where magical occurences such as ghosts, ghouls, witches, vampires and the like are part of the norm. He works as a paranormal investigator alongside Ray. One day on a particularly brutal case, they are tasked to find out what happened. Little did he know, it would be the start of a huge conspiracy and a unique relationship! Personal Thoughts: Wow I can't use fancy enough words to describe how I feel after reading this fic. It's honestly in the top best-written ones that I've had the honor of reading so far. The intrigue and mystery is amazing, Frank's relationship with Gerard is just..so tragic yet beautiful, you really feel for the characters in this story. Everyone went through different tragedies in their lives. And the slowburn uuugh uuuuughh.. please give this one a read! It was also surprisingly scary, the atmosphere was real creepy and some of the later scenes are super TERRIFYING! Otherwise, I loved this one so much I'll read it again someday!

The Best Part of My Day by pixie_revolver

Rating: Explicit (there is smut in the middle and end.) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Frank AU: Office Workers! Status: Completed with 14 chapters and 63k words Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45339874 My Summary: Frank works at an office, and one day bumps into a person he had not seen before and spills coffee over himself!.. This person is also the most gorgeous person he had ever seen, and fell in love at first sight! We follow Frank's shenanigans as he tries to learn more about his crush, while also being teased relentlessly by his coworkers. Will he get the courage to learn more about Gerard..? Personal Thoughts: This fic was short but SO fun! I was entertained from chapter 1, it's honestly written in a really comedic way. I was laughing and giggling throughout the entire story. Frank is sooo down bad for Gerard, and Gerard is so oblivious about it! Their relationship blossoms in the most adorable way... I want to re-read this one if I'm ever feeling down. There's also a cute touch at almost every chapter where you see Frank texting various friends who keep teasing him about Gerard, this gives a lot of personality to the story! I usually don’t comment on the smut, but it’s really good not gonna lie. Otherwise it’s a very fluffy fic and one of my faves on this list!

Tints of Rainbow Hue by turps

Rating: Mature (no smut) Pairings: Part 1 thru 2 is Frikey; Part 3 focuses on Gerard/Bob Main POV: Bob & Various AU: Gardening Services Gang! Status: Completed with 3 parts, total word count 65k. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3399 My Summary: Ray owns a small gardening business, he travels around with Bob, and decides it's high time to hire someone new. They hire a younger Frank, who's very colorful and full of energy! They decide to work on the miskept and overgrown Way house, where two brothers live. Gerard seems to be ill and doesn't leave the house, while his little brother Mikey provides for both of them. This story follows along the relationships that blossom there! Personal Thoughts: This one is the only fanfic I'd recommend right now that includes Bob Bryar as one of the main characters. He's actually the main POV we usually follow throughout the story, especially in the 2nd fic. The characterization of Gerard's depression was hard to read, in the sense that it felt super real. I personally have not suffered with depression, but this felt more seriously written than most others who write him in that way. THE CUTENESS of Frank and Mikey though?! I read this fic originally cus I love me some Frikey, and Frank's pretty different from his usual punk aesthetic, he's actually quite the opposite! He's like, flowery colorful pastels if anything! It was a super refreshing take on him, though his personality mostly stays the same, he's super earnest and clumsy too. I never read fics with Bob due to obvious reasons, but I was actually cheering on this fictional version of him to allow himself to love Gerard. He's so gentle, yet firm with him, and super kind and it was lovely to read... Anyways before I gush and spoil everything, give this fic a chance!

Lethal Attraction by desolationglow

Rating: Mature (obviously, there's smut here since Frank's ya know) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Frank AU: Prostitute Frank x Billionaire Gerard Status: Ongoing with 41 chapters and 130k words Last update: 01/22/24 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/40619025 My Summary: Set in the late 90s, Frank gets by living in Los Angeles by means of prostitution. His once best friend Gerard disappears after high school, and still misses him to this day. After a series of brutal murders, people are warned about a serial killer on the loose, and Gerard reappears into Frank's life once more. Gerard is now a successful billionaire, and invites Frank on a journey of revenge against those who wronged them. Yet, their relationship is turbulent to say the least... Personal Thoughts: SO TRIGGER WARNING... this fic includes homophobia on Gerard's part. It's set in the 90s so there's typical bigotry in this one. Also this is the idiots in love trope to an extreme! I still recommend this fic cus the story is super well-written, I couldn't put this one down! Gee's mean in this one, but you can't help but like him as a sort of anti-hero/villain. Frank's the poor dude being dragged around by him... I don't want to spoil cus there's quite a few fun plot twists in this one. Also it has not updated since January of this year, however I bumped into the author randomly on discord! Yep, it was a super funny coincidence. I don't want to say much to respect their privacy, but I will say that they have not abandoned this fic! So I definitely recommend it, please continue supporting them as there will be more eventually!

If I Could Say the Things I Want to Say to You by I_am_but_a_holyman

Rating: Explicit (some implied smut) Pairing: Frerard Main POV: Frank AU: single Dad Frank and college dropout Gerard / Found Family Status: Completed with 25 chapters and 97k words Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46030816 My Summary: Frank has been a single father for a while now and has been struggling with finding a babysitter for his 10 year old non-binary child. One day, his friend Ray introduces him to Gerard, who babysits his own kids as well... it was definitely love at first sight! For who..? Well you'll find out soon enough! This story navigates the difficulties of being a single dad, as well as being a gender non-conforming child in an unaccepting world. Personal Thoughts: I loved this story so much omg!! Frank's kid is an original character for the story and they did not dissapoint! I loved that Frank is so supportive of his non-binary child, and protects them the best way they can. Gerard's just too cute in this one as well, he's also not completely cis and likes to wear more fem clothes, like the perfect rolemodel for Frank's kiddo! Overall a fluffy story, please give it a try!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that about wraps it up!! Thank you so much for reading!! I don't think I will make any more of these, but who knows?!

bandom shipping...

the hardest part of shipping stuff after going down a Ferard rabbit hole is nothing else (except for one other ship) makes any sense to me. Nothing else feels as concrete as was Frankie and Gee had. I don't ship current Ferard but I do believe that there really was something between them at some point. It was rarely ever "omg the eye contact!!" and more of "well they're kissing again." I was watching a Kellic video the other day and it was just a lot of meaningful eye contact. Sure, MAYBE there was something there, but more likely than not they were just best friends who respected each other and cared for each other immensely. Sure I refer to Kells as "Vic's ex bf" but just for shits and giggles more than anything else. The only other ship I can actually see is Petekey (aka: Silly Little Dudes, Fraternal Order of the Handsome Boy, and Fruit Brute.) All of Pete's stuff on his blogs, Bang The Doldrums, those white denim jackets, the entirety of Warped '05.

idk why I wrote this but I did

[kerosene-saint]

16. you can’t understand why people like this thing (characterization, headcanons, etc), for danger days!! no pressure tho :3

ohhhh man. so many cases since danger days is 99% fan based..... look okay. I have to say funpoison straight out the gate, I think everyone knows about that one already though. like I just don't understand the appeal, although I don't understand the appeal of ferard either (I know, not the same) I'm just the guy who doesn't understand mainstream ships most of the time ig?

but other than that I think another thing I don't understand is the characterization of Kobra Kid being completely uncaring and not showing any emotions. I never liked that. I do think he doesn't show a lot of emotion through facial expressions (mostly out of his own determination but also partly because of autism) but he does truly care for people. he can be standoffish to new people because of a fun thing called trauma and also again autism but he's not like that to everyone. he can be a bit pretentious, sure absolutely, but he's trying his best. also this plays into the fact that my version of Kobra is like 16. Ve's a 16 year old city kid raised entirely by vens older sibling who has a partner ve looks up to extremely. he's gonna try to impress them okay it's just gonna happen. but kobra shares their love still, like in the first music video they're seen helping the girl hack things out of a vending machine. I think ve likes to tinker and build things for the people ve's close to to show ve cares. Sure ve's a cool dude but ve's not an idiot. at least not enough of an idiot to not act like he can't show love to the people he cares about. also the British Kobra Kid thing I'm confused by that but I don't have many rant-y feelings abt it. OH AND THE AGES OF THE FAB FOUR. mine are Kobra Kid: 16, Fun Ghoul: supposedly 17 but really it could be a year younger xey don't remember, Jet Star: 19 and actually kept track of her birth record in the zones, Party Poison: 19. I just feel like people make them too old

uhmmmmmm I am so normal about danger days my god I did not mean to rant this long sorry

🔥 choose violence ask game 🔥

[hadesbullshit]

do poeple actaully ship mcr mebers? like I've seen people joking about ferard for ages. but i haven't seen any real shipping for a while. their are defnelty people who i would say are "truthing" is the way that they think something did happen but they don't "ship" it (petekey is the main one i think of as having happened the same way i know my best friends dated her ex but i don't ship them)

sorry if this makes no sence

[justahermitcrab]

every fuck buddy to lovers fic on ao3

friend: just saying... he looks at you like you're more to him than just a fuck buddy

main character, in narration: and from then on i couldn't stop thinking about what my aggressively quirky and gay best friend had said. every time my fuck buddy and i went on dates, slept in the same bed, spent intimate time confiding in each other and were romantically affectionate i couldn't help but think- could he possibly be with me for anything other then my 10 inch dick????

[lasisgood]

I saw a mcr comic where revenge era frank gave a love letter to modern gerard in a skirt and modern gerard was like oh I'm sorry.

And I don't even ship ferard but the art was pretty I need to find it

[soapisnotonfire]

[leathermcuths-archive]

I don't understand why people hardcore ship Ferard. Like honestly who cares and why does it matter??? Like I'm down for making a joke about it or something but some of these people need to chill out about it

I KNOW. i used to keep frerard off my blog 100% on my old blog, and most frerard shippers were fucking crazy. idk if you remember @/drella, but me and them had a lot of beef because i had said that frerard shippers were annoying and they got a shitload of their followers to harass me and shit because i said that they were annoying HEJFWKKD (and they were like 22 years old or some shit like that). i’m all for shipping frerard, but when it comes to saying that all songs written ever are Totally About Frerard is very dumb. another thing that’s Very Dumb, is when frerard shippers flat out diss on Lindsey or Jamia for “ruining frerard,” or stretch far enough to say that gerard and frank’s wives are cover ups for their relationship. like this isn’t some hollywood forbidden love shit, okay guys, they have kids and have been married for over 10 years grow up. SOME SHIPPERS ARE SO EXTRA AND ANNOYING IT BOTHERS ME, MAN.

[hellofanimagination]

a splitting of the mind is a frerard fic and i honestly don't even know how to explain but i would definitely reccomend it it's super good but now i'm dead inside so (also it's 20 chapters and idk if you've got time for that lol)

I don’t ship or read ferard but thank you for the rec, I’m glad you enjoyed it tho! 😊

[monstox]

Unpopular opinion: I don't ship ferard

i used to ship frerard but at some point i just realized how unrealistic it gets because its two grown man who are both married, like maybe at the time before their marriages they might have liked eachother or idk “had a fling” (haha esp project rev) but ughh i ship it as a cute close friendship goals

send me unpopular opinions

[supercoolkid21-blog]

Emo ships vs shopping

Ryden: Ryan,"hey I'm gonna-" Brendon, "just go, you already left me"

Joshler: Josh, "I am about to go t-" Tyler, shouting and latched to his leg, "NO DON'T LEAVE ME"

Ferard: Frank, "hey I think I'll be heading to the store, do you want anything?" Gerard, "dude, don't talk to me like that infront of the fans"

Peterick: Pete, "want anything from the store" Patrick, "just a drink" Pete, "cool, I'll be back. love you."
