    Summary

    Frankie kept telling himself this wasn’t the worst life a person could have.

    It helped if he listed things. He did that a lot, in his head, like he was tuning something. Okay: he wasn’t starving. His stomach grumbled sometimes, sure, but he always found a way to get a bowl of noodles or some other cheap shit from the stand three blocks from the station, or could heat a can in the workshop when the boss had already gone home. He had a stable job, which was way more than some of the guys he saw drifting through the outskirts, hollow-eyed and jittery, looking like they might sell a kidney for a clean glass of water. He had a roof over his head, technically.

    So, you know. Not the worst.

    It just also kind of sucked.

    or a Fun Ghoul origin story.

    Summary

    A flyer pinned to the community bulletin board at Frank's favorite dive bar reads:

    TATTOO TAP-OUT. $350, ARTIST'S CHOICE. I'LL INK YOU 'TIL YOU CRY. (8 HRS MAX). SHOW UP @ MXRDER SCENE TATTOO & LET'S DO THIS.

    He tears it off the board and stumbles outside with a half-empty Schlitz. To drive home sober is but a suggestion.

    ***

    OR, a weird middle-ground between a bottle episode and a dialogue study, in which Gerard Way is a tattoo artist and Frank Iero is an ink fiend willing to take eight hours under a needle in exchange for... well, he isn't sure.

    Spanning a year's worth of tattoo appointments-- trending toward mutual therapy sessions-- and the occasional adventure, Frank and Gerard bond over croquet teams, missing cats, deep fears, and the belief that a city can shatter a heart, but the right person can put it back together again.

    Summary

    There is only one thing Fun Ghoul is looking for: hard, meaningless sex with no strings attached. But he might be getting more than he bargained for when he catches the eye of a Scarecrow who goes by the name of Poison.
