    Summary

    Sixteen year old Frank Iero can't seem to stay out of trouble. When he isn't getting drunk or high, he's picking fights at school or sneaking into neighborhood churches to deface their crucifixes. After his mother dies, things spiral even further out of control-and he eventually finds a court order to attend the WayThrough Mountain Academy: a faith-based recovery camp for troubled teens tucked away in the remote town of Stehekin, Washington.

    Whatever remaining hope Frank has for his future is slowly drained out of him, that is, until he falls into a deep, obsessive limerence for another equally troubled camper: Gerard.

    Summary

    Frank was ambivalent to life, the promise the 80s had brought him leaving him with nothing other than a bitter disappointment when nothing had changed.

    No matter how hard he tried, there was no way he could resign to the conformity that was being forced upon him because in the back of his heart, he knew his story was always supposed to be greater than this.

    Nobody understood him, just as he didn't understand them leaving him feel if he was constantly tuned into a radio that nobody else's frequency had an ability to reach. It didn't matter what job, person or promise he tried to commit to, he would always let his dissatisfaction sabotage it as they all failed to meet his expectations.

    He was on the brink of resigning to nothingness, and if it had not been for his mother threatening to disown him, then maybe he wouldn't have followed her that summer to work in the country club.

    Summary

    Shit is real bad, but Gerard is gonna fix it, you guys. He is. He's totally got this.

    (He doesn't actually got this and actually everybody is probably going to die horribly because nobody has any self-preservation instincts and in fact we've got the collective common sense of a baked potato.)

    Let's get weird as fuck.

     

    [This is the third and final installment of the Goth Gothic trilogy. If you haven't read the first two, go back and do it now, otherwise you're gonna be really confused.]

    Summary

    "Where's your mum, where's Mikey?" Frank broke the silence. Gerard came to for a moment, letting out a shaky breath before responding. "They... they went to Grandma's, for the night. Dad was... They um, they said they had to leave" he talked slowly, zoned out, eyes darting everywhere except at Frank.

    "Gerard... Where is your dad?" he spoke slowly through gritted teeth. Gerard seemed to panic at Frank's change of tone, stumbling back, the hammer falling from his hand and banging loudly on the floor.

    1960s/70s AU. Gerard and Frank have been best friends their whole lives. When they take the next step, things get complicated. Between Gerard’s self hatred and the wrath of his family, can Frank save him?

    TW: Period typical homophobia and language, self harm mentions, mental health issues - it’s just a bit sad.
