24 Frames Per Second - The Belleville Fright Night Experiment of 1984 by lea_ndra
Title:24 frames per second - The Belleville Fright Night Experiment of 1984
Author: lea_ndra
Band: My Chemical Romance
Pairings: Frank/Gerard, Mikey/Alicia (mentioned)
Word Count: 54.000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: character death (minor original character)
Disclaimer: Obviously, this is all fiction. I messed with their ages - for the plot to work, Frank actually had to be the oldest. Also, I’m pretty sure Jon Bongiovi’s brother is an upstanding citizen. Last but not least, forgive me for all the shit I might have made up about film archives and film projection - research only goes so far.
Thanks: To my girlfriend Raina, who helped me through this project from the first moment on when it was conceived to its last draft and offered countless hours of support, suggestions and patient listening. To desert_neon for listening to me during the early stages of this fic, to eldaileana and temve for their wonderful beta work! Last but not least to my awesome artists crowgirl13 and noctecaelum whose work has enriched mine.
Summary: 1984: With new multiplexes opening up all over America, the run-down Belleville Film Palace is probably the least exciting place to work at for a teenager. Except if you’re a movie nut like projectionist Gerard and his closely knit circle of loser friends. When cocky and confident Frank joins their team as an usher, Gerard really doesn't think he'll stick around. Besides, there's something about Frank that just rubs Gerard the wrong way. Then an unforeseen event threatens the future of the movie theater and Gerard starts to questions things he's always taken for granted...
