Summary
Frank wasn't afraid of Mikey's weird older brother — he was afraid of vampires.
There was a difference. It wasn't personal, but it probably felt that way when the sun would start sinking in the sky and Frank would suddenly have to get home right away.

Summary
There is little in Frank Iero's life that goes according to plan. But when one bad decision puts him in a legal cesspool and bottomless debt, he has no choice but to intern at Korse & Associate's Legal Firm, where he expects nothing but corporate misery. What he doesn't expect is the degree to which some will bend to maintain job security. And Korse's personal assistant, Gerard, is the archetypal ass-kisser. But there's no way in hell Frank could end up like them, caring for the outcome of a sensational murder trial, or for his coworkers, or for anything outside his sphere of influence. Right?

Summary
The typical nude model is someone like Phil. Phil is forty-nine and paunchy. He's starting to go gray at his temples and in his pubic hair; he likes to pose on a stool, curving his back and curling his fingers together between his knees. Phil is secretly awesome -- he likes the Misfits and builds model trains -- but he's not what Gerard would call prime ogling material. Neither are any of the other models who have posed for the life modeling or anatomy classes Gerard has taken. This semester, Anna was kind of cute, but she whined about the conditions the entire time she was there. In his four years of art school, anyway, Gerard has never once dealt with being attracted to the model.
But this guy is hot.
---
Or: Gerard goes to art school. Frank is a nude model. Somehow their relationship gets off the ground, in spite of everything working against them.

Summary
That means Gerard has twenty-three working days to find a replacement for Theo, make them acquainted with all the instrumental accompaniment piano pieces for the play, give them time to learn to play them, and then rehearse with the kids singing along.
That means that Gerard is - excuse his language - fucked.

Summary
Frank is not a chill guy. Thankfully Mikey knows this, so he doesn’t even flinch when Frank bursts into the apartment to declare, “I’m going to fuck my English TA.”

Summary
There are three principles behind what They do. One: certain events must happen. Two: they must happen in the correct order. Three: they must happen at the correct points in their respective timelines. When one of these criteria is not met, the timeline requires repair.
Frank was just supposed to get Gerard on the damn ferry that September 11th, and go home.
But sometimes the universe has its own ideas.

Summary
Gerard Way has a system: a system for managing his life as a city architect, a system for being a single man living in a house in Jersey he still thinks of as his grandmother's and not his own, a system for finding one of the four solo seats in each car on the train into Manhattan every morning. He likes his system. It works.
His system derails when Frank Iero sits across from him on the 7:59 Midtown Direct one sunny morning in May.
A love story, one train ride at a time.

Summary
Gerard has been in love with his best friend and bandmate for years. It sucks. Especially because he's convinced himself that Frank does not feel the same. But a series of events including a long overdue break from touring, gastroenterology specialists, a new puppy and a visit from a know-it-all brother and his smart-as-hell wife, make Gerard question his assumptions.

Summary
Frank Iero does not believe in love at first sight. Frank Iero thinks the idea of love at first sight is really fucking stupid. Frank Iero, contrary to popular belief, hardly even believes in the idea of romance at all. Frank Iero is lucky to have ever had a boyfriend in his entire life due to his chronic cynicism.
Frank Iero just spilled an entire venti cup of black dark roast Starbucks all over his white work shirt.
Why? Because some random guy just walked past him in the office hallway, and wow.
Wow.

Summary
“We could,” Gerard begins, then frowns, looking slightly embarrassed. “Look, I just think – alright, I just got paid. We could use it to buy a house for cheap, flip it, and sell it. Or, like, I mean, I know you’re not gonna want – I just mean, we could find a deal and split it, but since I just got paid, it’s a good time. If it’s a good time for you. I think it is, though, I mean, you talk shit about your job all the time. Not the point, though, just – do you want to try?”
Frank doesn’t know how to respond for a moment. The surprise of Gerard delivering an at least halfway formed plan in the same conversation as it’s introduced is enough that it renders him nearly speechless, and he says, “Wait – fucking. What?”

Summary
“Look, asshole, do you want a job or not?” Mikey interrupts. “You said yourself you were bored. I know you can’t afford cigarettes anymore. Until the millions of jobs you applied for decide to call you back, this is the best you got.”
Gerard grimaces.
“Besides,” Mikey continues after a beat, “you’d get to hang out with me. And Ray and Frank too, I guess. But at least you wouldn’t be loitering at my job instead of finding something else productive to do.”
Gerard looks at Mikey for a moment before groaning and tugging a hand through his hair. “Fine, you win. Brian, can I have an application?”

Summary
He forgot about the beer in his hand. He forgot that he needed to go check the frayed leads on his own guitar before he went on. He forgot about the exam on Tuesday he hadn’t studied for and the show flyers he needed to photocopy at work the next day and all of fucking Jersey.
In that moment, though drunk and sloppy and barely intelligible through the awful mix, Frank knew he was watching the birth of an immortal.
Frank agrees to help find Mikey Way's new band its first show.

Summary
Frank’s muse in college had been the tired, coffee addicted convenience store regular that he’d nicknamed “the vampire”. Now, Frank’s a successful author, and his muse has just been hired by the publisher to create the cover of Frank’s newest book. The book that, unbeknownst to him, he's the main character of. Now, the two of them have to work in a new, more intimate setting, and the Vampire is even hotter than Frank remembered.
