Reader's notes: Recorded as a gift for akamine-chan, who loves this fic and showed it to me, not knowing how much I needed it in my mouth right now. I told her tonight that I didn't actually get the extent of this fic or what the author is saying until I recorded it, until I had to embody Gerard's hopelessness and his longing to do more than worry about where the next pill is coming from. I actually broke down sobbing when he touches the Trans Am and recalls painting it as Party Poison. This is a stunning fic that I could talk about for hours: its thread through Gerard Way's rl, what TBP and DD meant to the band, what it's like to be absolutely terrified of dying or crashing but then coming to terms with it and choosing to live or die trying. Somehow this short anon killjoys fic captures so much of what moved me about MCR's work and journey.
