    Key to band abbreviations appearing in this post:
    MCR = My Chemical Romance / PATD = Panic(!) at the Disco / FOB = Fall Out Boy / TU = The Used / TAI = The Academy Is... / GCH = Gym Class Heroes / THS = The Hush Sound / CS = Cobra Starship / MSI = Mindless Self Indulgence / AAR = All American Rejects.

    1.

    MCR (MSI, Thursday, The Sounds, CS)
    Frank/Gerard (Frank/OMC, Jamia/Pedicone, Bob/Jamia onesided, Bob/Maja Ivarsson)
    NC-17
    Warnings: Cross-dressing, Roller Derby related violence, some liberties with geography and roller derby rules and regulations.

    Roller derby AU. When Frank joins his best friend's roller derby team, he has no idea what he's in for. A story of crossdressing, lies, roller derby and love.

    2.

    MCR, PATD
    Bob/Brendon. Secondary Mikey/Ryan, Mikey/others, Ryan/others, Frank/Gerard UST. Also vague MCR circlejerk.
    NC-17
    Warnings: While heavily researched, there are possible inaccuracies due to the writer not actually having JRA. Off screen homophobia, mentions of religious intolerance. Brothers jerking off in the same room.

    Bob thinks that the ability to put up with the friends he has is a more unique characteristic of his than his Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Fifty thousand kids in the States have JRA, only a few could handle Mikey’s sluttiness, Gerard’s basement creeperiness, and Frank’s stupid refusal to admit his crush on Gerard. (Ray is surprisingly normal). But while he gets no help dealing with his friends, a few accommodations have to be made for his disease. Someone copying class notes is one of them, and when it turns out that Frank’s writing could be more legible if he did it with his feet, Brendon Urie steps in. JRA impedes a lot of things in his life, but falling in love isn’t one of them.

    3.

    PATD (with minor characters from FOB, TYV, THS, CS)
    Brendon/Spencer
    Explicit
    Warnings: No standard warnings apply. Contains consensual BDSM, both in and outside of the context of sex work.

    Spencer Smith has great friends, engaging hobbies, and a job he loves. So if the job--as a professional dominant--leaves him without the energy for relationships, that's okay. Spencer would rather be the best whip-wielder his clients could want than to split his focus by topping at home. After all, he'll probably switch careers in a decade or so, and he can wait until then to date, even if Ryan insists that's a stupid plan.

    Of course, that's before dance instructor Brendon Urie waltzes into Spencer's life. Spencer just can't seem to stay away from him, even though he's sure Brendon's plan for overcoming Spencer's relationship problem won't work. Spencer can't even remember the last time he subbed for anyone, and he's not sure he's the switch Brendon thinks he could be.

    As Brendon takes the lead, can Spencer learn to follow--or will they just keep stepping on each other's feet?

    4.

    TYV, PATD, MCR, TAI, CS, Jonas Bros
    Gen mostly, with hints of Gerard/Lindsey, Mikey/Alicia, Frank/Jamia
    R (for Language)
    Warnings: None

    Somewhere on this planet, hidden far away from all of them, might be their crown prince, the last of their royal line. They have no idea where he is and there’s a possibility that he might actually be dead, might never have even made it here.

    He’d always thought… but that was insane, because he’s seen baby pictures and he’d had friends growing up and all the facts that they’d been able to find pointed to the fact that their princeling had been murdered before he’d even got to his 1st birthday.

    It doesn’t change the fact that Ryan Ross is also the spitting image of their long dead King, Gabe has been telling him for years that everyone has a twin somewhere; apparently their maybe still alive princelings’ is a failed guitar player.

    5.

    MCR
    Frank/Gerard, Mikey/Ray
    NC17
    Warnings: Sexual situations for both couples.

    The Fabulous Killjoys have got a wedding to plan, and it's time for everyone to get involved. Gerard wants to throw his brother the best wedding this post apocalyptic world has to offer, and Frank's right by his side to lend a helping hand. It's all about love in the desert this year, so keep your gun close and your loved ones closer.

    6.

    PATD, TYV + Shane Valdes
    Spencer/Brendon - Brendon/Shane - Ryan/Jon
    PG-13
    Warnings: Mpreg, non-descriptive car accident resulting in a coma.

    When Spencer finds himself standing in his bathroom, staring at a positive pregnancy test, he has a few life changing decisions to make. With everyone offering support and throwing in his or her own opinions, Spencer finds himself wanting to have an abortion just to get away from everything. Without telling newly married Brendon that he’s the father and forcing his friends and family to keep his secret, Spencer makes the decision to keep his and Brendon’s child and raise it alone. But when an almost fatal accident occurs, everything starts to unravel around the group, taking the decision to keep certain secrets out of everyone’s hands.

    7.

    MCR
    Frank/Gerard, Mikey/Ray
    R
    Warnings: None

    Gerard Way has had a crush on Frank Iero since the moment they met. Due to circumstances, Frank really isn't in his life much anymore. But what happens when Frank's suddenly thrown back into his life due to an unforeseen problem at his little brother's wedding? A story about pining.

    8.

    TAI, GCH, CS, Black Cards
    Mostly gen; vague forms of Travis and Gabe and William
    R
    Warnings: Graphically described suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, reference to past suicide attempts, mental illness, drug use, ableist language.

    Psychiatric hospital AU. Travis is hospitalized after a near-fatal experience. He's thrown together with fellow patients William and Gabe, who are dealing with their own issues. Travis feels like he's lost; his only hope is to reach out to the two people who are just as damaged as he is.

    9.

    MCR (with appearances from members of FOB and PATD)
    Frank/Gerard, brief Frank/Ryan, brief Gerard/OC
    NC17
    Warnings: This fic contains slight body dismorphia, references to eating disorders, self harm, profanity, and sexual situations. I also feel I should say that the Gerard/OC is not a large part of the fic.

    Gerard and Frank have been best friends their whole lives. Frank has always stood by his best friend through all his insecurities and problems. When Gerard is about to visit a potential art college, Frank makes a move that takes Gerard by surprise. They try to move past it, but can they? Gerard isn't gay, he knows he isn't. So why can't he handle Frank moving on? And why is it making him question himself more and more?

    10.

    MCR
    Ray/Gerard
    NC-17
    Warnings: Adult Content, Mentions of past drug use, Angst

    Gerard always knew he wasn't like other boys. At fifteen, he met Ray Toro, the first boy he would ever love. At eighteen, when Gerard was accepted to art school in New York City, desperate not to lose each other, Ray and Gerard got married, convinced they would have an amazing life together in the big city. However, after only two years of marriage, Ray's unhappiness led to divorce at a tragically young age. Alone, heartbroken, and depressed, Gerard's life spiraled into a period of darkness that consumed most of his early adulthood. Thirteen years later, several years into his recovery from his mid-twenties addictions, thirty-four year old Gerard Way finds his new, successful, happy life rocked by the discovery that his divorce that led him down his path of darkness to begin with wasn't legal.

    Faced with the task of hiding this information from the ever-growing attention his art was receiving, as well as rectifying the mistake, Gerard is forced to find and face the man he had long buried in the dark recesses of his memory. When the two end up having to spend five weeks together until the divorce can be done correctly, will the awkwardness drive them both crazy, or will the time spent together after so long cause old feelings to resurface?

    11.

    MCR
    gen
    14A
    Warnings: minor character death, alien possession, puking, minor violence with tranquilizer guns, swearing

    It takes a fob watch and a TARDIS for Bob Bryar to put his life together. A life he had forgotten was now reclaimed. He’s taken for a wild ride with Brian at his side as he tries to save the friends he thought were lost to him. Being an alien isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

    12.

    MCR
    Frank/Gerard
    NC-17
    Warnings: Minor character death, Mental Disorders, Rape, Violence, sex

    It took me a while to work out that there was something wrong with Gerard, he kept it hidden well and, really, he didn’t even know something was wrong with him. To him it seemed like normal, everyday stuff. He never found any of his behaviour out of the ordinary. To him it was just reality.’ After Gerard's grandma passes away his behaviour becomesstrange. He becomes less outgoing and more paranoid. As Frank tries to work out what’s going on with his friend/love interest, between school, learningpsychology and dealing with the jocks, he doesn’t realise just how bad it is.

    13.

    MCR, CS, FOB, brief mentions of TU and TAI
    gen, with mentions of Gabe/William and Nate/Victoria
    PG-13
    Warnings: none

    All Gerard planned that day was going to school and band practice. He hadn't counted on the evil alien The Cobra and his (sort of) minions to escape their 10,000 year prison and attack Earth. And he definitely hadn't planned on getting recruited with his friends by interdimensional being Pete and his android PATRICK to become a superhero. What's a teenager to do? A PowerRangers!AU

    14.

    MCR and PATD (brief appearances by FOB, THS, and CS)
    Brendon/Gerard
    PG-13
    Warnings: None

    Gerard hopes that getting hired at another new high school (after getting fired from two others) will end with success. Third time’s a charm, he likes to think. While he hopes to make a good impression on his new coworkers, new boss, and new students, he meets Brendon, a fellow Spanish teacher, and they instantly get along. Can their common love of Spanish (and Shakira) blossom into another kind of love?

    15.

    MCR, CS, TAI, PATD
    William/Gabe, Mikey/Gerard, Mikey/Spencer/William, Gerard/William
    R
    Warnings: incest, sex, threesome

    William is quitting having sex with Gabe for his own sanity, Spencer finds himself in the middle of an unusual breakfast-club, Mikey is hiding secrets from his friends and Gerard is seducing everyone. This is a story about trying to let go of something that doesn't work and opening up to something new, no matter how unusual it looks.

    16.

    MCR
    Frank/Gerard
    NC-17
    Warnings: Violence, blood, sex, mentions of past rape, attempted rape, occult references, minor character death, supernatural themes

    Frank Iero is one of the best cops in New Jersey so it’s only natural that his boss dumps a seemingly unsolvable case on him and his colleague Bob Bryar. With no leads whatsoever Frank enlists the help of Gerard Way, a reclusive young man who experiences strong visions and dreams of events from the past and visions of the future. However, none of them could ever begin to expect the terrifying chain of events that come into play once they delve deeper into the unknown, questioning Frank’s very beliefs on what the world actually holds. A story of visions, sacrifices, over protective brothers and love all in the midst of the attempted destruction of the world. The devil’s got your number and he will come calling, until it’s nothing more than hell on earth.

    17.

    MCR
    Frank/Jamia (background Gerard/Pedicone)
    NC-17
    Warnings: none

    Asshole!Frank meets his match when he gets into a relationship with Asshole!Jamia. Frank's not one hundred percent sure why the relationship thing isn't freaking him out as much as it should - all he knows is that lately, the only girl he wants to put his dick in is Jamia.

    What's it going to take for these two to make it work? Apparently, a lot of dirty, dirty sex, and Jamia pushing every boundary Frank has. Oh, and a little help from his friends, of course.

    A story that proves that even assholes can fall in love - and how.

    18.

    FOB, MCR
    Pete/Mikey
    R
    Warnings: None

    Pete pursued soccer instead of music. He has a good long run in the game. Then in 2010, he meets this guy in a band.

    PATD, MCR, CS, FOB, TAI, THS, The Cab, TU, Black Cards, GCH, The Sounds, MSI
    Established Gabe/Nate, Gerard/Bert, Brendon/Patrick, Frank/Bob. Forced Spencer/Ryan. Hetero life partners Ryland/Ray.
    R
    Warnings: kidnapping, work slavery, gore, violence, graphic OC deaths, dub-con (due to sex pollen), bestiality.

    It’s been four years since the first tear between Earth and Otherworld opened, and in that time the travel has only been one way; supposedly mythical creatures coming in and wreaking havoc throughout the continents. Or at least that’s what the OEA would have citizens believe. When a tear opens in Sherman High School and the entire Chamber choir goes missing, and no one remembers them even existing in the first place the truth becomes known. Kidnapping Humans is a frequent occurrence, and part of the OEA’s job is to keep it a secret.

    Pete is not about to lose Patrick forever, and nor is Mikey with Gerard. After it becomes obvious the OEA neither cares nor plans on doing anything, the friends of the choir decide to band together and travel into Otherworld to save their loved ones. It’s completely uncharted territory, but how hard can it be to track down a few Humans in a land of Pixies and Centaurs?

    Unfortunately for the questers and Chamber choir alike, childhood research all come up lies in practice. Dwarves are not like Snow White Dwarves, Mermaids are not Ariel, and Dragons are not Tamora Pierce Dragons. Still, it’s okay to be in over your head when you know someone is waiting on the other side of the ocean.

    20.

    PATD, FOB, CS, mentions of MCR and TAI
    Brendon/Ryan/Pete, allusions to on again off again Brendon/William, minor mentions of past Brendon/Marcus Mumford
    NC-17
    Warnings: crossdressing(not the mc), visual impairment(not the mc),dub-con, cursing, mentions of WWI, some violent imagery, historical setting(early 1930’s America)

    It seems no matter how hard he tries, Brendon’s always doomed to trip into other people’s lives in just the right way to disrupt things. Being immortal means he’s had plenty of time to realize this, yet somehow he keeps making the same mistakes. If he’s not playing the part of mouse to William’s cat, he’s forever running from the consequences of being the only person capable of standing still while the rest of the world continues to rush forward

    On the side of a dusty road, he meets two men trying to fix a flat and offers to help them. The kind gesture gets him a job pitching tents for a traveling carnival. When he says yes, he doesn’t quite know what he’s expecting, but becoming friends with the carnival’s fortune teller and bearded lady isn’t one of those events. Nor is finding himself caught in the middle of the violent relationship between the carnival’s owner and its stage magician.

    Maybe this time around, though, he’s found something to hold on to.

    21.

    MCR
    Frank/Gerard
    R
    Warnings: Veeeery mild minor-character death, violence, drug-use

    “Can draculoids feel love?”, the kid asks, tears building up into her eyes.

    Party Poison isn’t really sure what got him into this mess, and he doesn’t know what will get him out of it either. Held captive in the Battery Towers, he is only being kept alive by Better Living Industries for as long as all their Extermination Chambers are out of order, and as soon as they have found a way to repair them he will be put down like a dog. As slowly pills and pain and propaganda are worked into his daily routines, he finds himself having almost given up.

    Fun Ghoul sets off to find him, to take him back to where he belongs, but soon he finds that getting into Battery City alive is harder than it sounds.

    Not to mention getting out again.

    NC17
    Warnings: None, unless you could Mikeyway in a Goofy suit. And I would.

    Only two kinds of people worked at Disneyland Park, Anaheim, CA: Frank Iero and everyone else. When new cast member and dyed in the wool Tinkerbelle, Gerard Way, starts at the Park Frank does everything he can to steer clear of the guy. He's exactly the kind of starry eyed mouse fanatic that makes Frank's cynical skin crawl. But he can't seem to shake him. Could it be that Frank doesn't really want to? Could it be that Frank's stoney maintenance man's heart isn't so stoney after all? And what's with all the people falling down disused fake mine shafts all of a sudden? Find out when you enter The Happiest Fucking Place on Earth. Have a magical day!

    MCR
    Gerard gen
    R
    Warnings: Disturbing imagery and themes. Highlight for spoilers: character murder, violence, human taxidermy, possible incestuous undertones

    Everyone has the capacity to become a monster and could be a monster if the right things happened to them. Gerard'll be the first to admit that maybe what he did was more than a little selfish. Yes, he saved the people that he loved, but the reason he saved them was entirely and wholly selfish. Gerard doesn't think doing nice things for selfish reasons makes you a good person, it just makes you human and Gerard's never pretended to be anything but human. There's nothing wrong with having an ulterior motive, with saving his loved ones because he selfishly wanted to keep them close forever.

    Everyone has ulterior motives, Gerard just thinks that maybe he's a little more open about his.

    Warnings: Offscreen underage rape

    One Friday night, sixteen-year-old Mikey Way goes out to a club... and doesn't come home.

    He awakens to find himself in a house with seven other boys, all taken as he was, all kept under lock and key. While Gerard and his friends work with (and sometimes against) the police to find Mikey, the boys in the house follow their kidnappers' orders and try to stay alive and sane. This house has a reputation among a certain clientele, who know that when they can't risk finding what they want out in the world, they can always visit the house to sate their needs.

    Mikey is convinced Gerard will save them all. But until then, he'll do what he has to do to survive.

    Brendon/Ryan
    PG-13
    Warnings: mentioned off-screen minor character death, general angst and confusion

    It's August 30th, 2006 - Ryan's already been here once, and this isn't how it goes. Bruised, confused and in the wrong year, Ryan struggles to make it through the Nothing Rhymes With Circus tour (for the second time) and reconnect with a band that's grown apart, while desperately grasping onto the future he knows he's already lived.

    As with all things in Travis’ life, he sat back and asked “What the fuck just happened?”

    Warnings: descriptions of autopsy and mortuary procedure

    Ridiculous pathology!AU. In autopsy, it is not a matter of life and death, it's a matter of DEATH AND LOVE! Frank Iero, the new registrar in the mortuary at Mercy hospital, was not expecting autopsy to be sexy, but he also wasn't expecting his hot new boss, Gerard Way. Featuring Cobra Funerals, death by papercuts and LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS (that don't necessarily involve corpses). HOW WILL FRANK ENDURE HIS PLACEMENT?!

    29.

    MCR
    Frank/Gerard, Gerard/Frank/Gerard, and all kinds of Gerard/Gerard
    NC-17
    Warnings: Mentions of alcohol and substance abuse.

    It’s Frank’s last day off before the North American leg of the World Contamination Tour begins, so he’s not particularly happy when his nap is interrupted by a frantic phone call from Gerard. Gee’s clearly upset about something, but the urgent instructions he gives Frank as he rushes back to their hotel room are not making much sense. And why does Gerard keep asking Frank if he’s alone?

    Frank’s confusion only grows from there. The next thing he knows, Gerard is right there, kissing him - which should be impossible, considering Gee’s still on his way, and talking to Frank on the phone. It is Gerard kissing Frank, though. A blond Gerard. Gerard, circa 2006.

    And if that wasn’t enough to give Frank the mother of all headaches, it appears that there are actually not only one, not even two, but three Gerards come from various dark times in Gee’s past, congregating in the hotel room, looking for hints of a brighter future.

    This is the tale of Frank and the four Gerards, and of the afternoon that set everything in motion.

    Brendon/Spencer, Jon/Ryan (Brendon/Dallon)
    Teen
    Warnings: Implied relationship with an authority figure. Also contains background genderswap (always-a-girl!Ian)

    Spencer's life is awesome.

    His schedule is full of Brendon time, Ryan and Jon's fights get more entertaining every time, this kid in band totally worships him, and the new chemistry teacher is almost as hot as Mr. Van Vleet.

    But then again, the hot chemistry teacher is monopolizing Brendon's attention, Ryan keeps proving to be better at relationships than Spencer, and he'd rather not talk about the incident with his band buddy.

    Okay, Spencer's life sucks.

Trying to settle into his new life, Frank discovers that some obstacles are more difficult to overcome than others. In core training he finds himself surrounded by strange people and at the mercy of a demanding schedule of coursework and physical training he's not sure he's going to survive.

    To most normal people, college is the best time of their lives. For Mikey Way though, it was the worst and it’s a time he tries to forget. When his best friend left for a different college and left him alone, Mikey found parts of him that that he never knew existed within him, hidden away and surfacing when he’s most vulnerable. His life took a turn for the worst and through months of trying to drink the pain away, Mikey ended up coming to terms with the fact that not only was he depressed, but was diagnosed with (type two) bipolar. With the right medication, a supportive brother and in law means that Mikey is able to leave his past behind him and try to get his life back on track. That is until, his best friend Ray comes back and he’s left trying to decide if seeing his old best friend and high school crush will leave him unstable and back to square one, or if becoming close with Ray again will help him on his long road to recovery and acceptance.

    PATD, Gold Motel, The Like
    Girl!Brendon/Greta, Z/Tennessee
    PG-13
    Warnings: repeated sexual harassment of an underage girl, reference to past sexual assault, as well as both references to and displays of homophobia.

    It's Summerlyn, 1992, and Brendon's getting tired of keeping secrets about herself. From the tapes she has hidden under her mattress to the fact that all the attention the popular new youth pastor's been paying her is entirely unwanted, she knows that there are a lot of things about her that would break her parents' heart. On top of all of that, Brendon's in high school, she's kind of desperately lonely, and she's also pretty sure she's gay.

    It's only after she starts hanging out with Z, Tennessee, and Greta that things seem to go right. They call themselves riot grrrls, a phenomena of pissed off teenagers reclaiming their anger and turning it into music and not giving a fuck what anyone thinks about it. Brendon finally feels like she's not lying anymore, but it takes leaving home, falling in love with a girl, and competing in a Battle of the Bands for her to realize that the one heart she needs to worry about the most isn't her mom's or dad's. It's her own.

    Or it is until Mikey decides to embark on a journey of sexual discovery and adventure and Frank's left at home with nothing but the fridge monster for company. To make matters worse, Mikey insists on telling Frank everything he does with his new kinky friends, right down to the tiniest detail.

    And now suddenly Frank is best friends with his right hand and he can't stop thinking about Mikey in ways he never has before. The really big problem, other than suddenly being in lust with his best friend, is that Frank isn't sure why.

    angels, but I suppose it could theoretically bother people-- the character in question is about 16.)

    Patrick shows up on the night Ashlee tells Pete she’s leaving him, when Pete is pretty sure he’d be doing the world a favor by leaving it. Patrick-with copious application of ice cream, the Food Network, snuggling, and occasional well-meant violence-does his best to keep Pete alive.

    Pete, in turn, does his best to convince Patrick that Patrick is, in fact, secretly Pepper Potts, and that Cupcake Wars is not a legitimate form of entertainment. In the meantime, Vicky-T, all sharp eyes and crocodile smiles, looks after Gabe and tries very hard not to care that Bill is looking after him-and maybe her-too.

    Gabe spends most of his time trying to convince Vicky-T that he’s allowed to have two soulmates at the same time.

    MCR tourfic set in the universe described by Helenish's SGA fic, "Take Clothes Off As Directed", an alternate universe adjacent to our own, in which dominant and submissive BDSM roles -- and prejudices based on them -- are as mainstream as gender roles and prejudices in our own world. In this universe, most bands are made up of tops, and MCR are unusual for having several subs in the band (only Gerard and Bob are tops, and Gerard's got long hair and wears eyeliner, so...) The fic follows them on tour through the UK and Europe, and shows how they deal with negative reactions from the press and from assholes on tour. The main relationship is Gerard/Brian (turns out Brian has a secret, involving his role identity and some fake ID, which causes complications) and there's also a sub-thread (no pun intended) of Bob/Ray, and bits of Gerard/Frank, Bob/Frank, Gerard/Mikey, and generally the band being a big kinky family.

What you just showed us was everything we are not and do not ever want to be.” Gerard pauses for a bit and feels a small smirk grace his lips, enjoying the determination and enthusiasm in Frank’s eyes as he leans forward on the table, closer to Frank than he has been. “So take a good look at me, Frank. Look at me, and play me a fucking song that I just described to you.” Frank Iero’s biggest hero is Gerard Way; the outspoken, obnoxious lead singer of the multi-platinum selling band My Chemical Romance. His world changes completely when he finds himself suddenly shoved into the limelight, playing sell-out shows every night and earning more than his usual $6 an hour. However, the infamously homophobic frontman isn’t what Frank expects, and after mixed signals and unsolved revelations he learns that, with Gerard Way, things are never simple.
