In conclusion, Frank. :)

[wildestranger]

I promised fleshdress and _emeraldgreen fic recs for bandom, and since I am a conscientious enabler...

Introduction to Bandom reclist! My Chem centric because, well, FRANK. Which seems to be a justification I use a lot recently, but seriously, just look at him. *points to icon* How can you resist? ;)

Mostly Canonical Fics, where they are people in bands.

A Natural Reaction to Rough-Housing by bexless

Frank/Gerard, long. Frank discovers that he likes comforting Gerard after he has been hurt, but is somewhat troubled by all the hurt he ends up causing. Hilarious (I've been using snippets of the text to lure kabeyk into the fandom, and despite her dislike of My Chem in particular and RPS in general, this fic has caused her to waver) and sweet, with a most enjoyable character-based plot. bexless is one of the best writers in this fandom, and her Frank/Gerard in particular is brilliant.

A Necessary Requirement also by bexless

Frank/Gerard, short and endlessly funny. Gerard feels that dick-showing should happen only in the context of a loving, stable relationship.

Between these two fics, you'll learn all you need to know about My Chem, and about Frank and Gerard's relationship. :)

Unequivocal by stereomer

Frank/Gerard, long. Basically follows the real life events of the band, with added Frank/Gerard. All you need to know about the history of My Chem, as well as vastly interesting as a character piece.

Pretty in Ink by mimesere

Pete/Patrick, Patrick/MCR, short. Possibly the most hilarious fic in the history of the universe. The rest of Fall Out Boy worry about Patrick's tattoo virginity, while Patrick has a gangbang with My Chemical Romance. And who wouldn't, honestly? :P

A Stitch Away From Making It (A Scar Away From Falling Apart) by femmequixotic

Pete/Patrick, long. Pete Wentz's sextape leaks out, and Patrick is conflicted and horny. Long and soulful.

Chord Change by giddygeek

Pete/Patrick, short. All Decaydance bands turn gay for Patrick. Hilarious and sweet.

Clothes Off! by queenofhell

Pete/Patrick, Pete/bunch of other people, short. Pete Wentz has trouble with other people's dicks. Sweet and funny.

Anywhere You Let It Go by skoosiepants

Pete/Patrick, Brendon/Spencer, long. With added Panic (!) at the Disco. Skoosiepants has a style of writing that is both sidesplittingly funny and heartwarmingly thoughtful. Also, this one has My Chem in crushed velvet. Bob Bryar in crushed velvet. And Patrick Stump's weirdly stoic baby.

Mostly AUs

Conclusions by bexless

Frank/Gerard, long. What might have happened if they hadn't formed the band - Frank owns a small record company and Gerard is a basement-dwelling artist. Hilarious and endearing and full of genius characterisation.

An Inexplicable Occurrence of Angels by stele3

Frank/Gerard, long. Where Gerard is a failed rockstar and Frank is an angel who falls into his kitchen. Naked. *g* Also includes some of the best insightful writing I've encountered, a compelling plot, and FRANK. No, really. If you read only one of the fics in this list, read this one. Link goes to final part, which has links to previous chapters.

The Holly Golightly Club by fluffontop

Frank/Gerard, Pete/Mikey, long. Based on the I'm Not Okay video, where My Chem are boys in a prep school (ties!), and also nerds who get beaten up by jocks. Most amusing and engaging.

In Which Gerard Is A Quirky College Professor, And Frank Is The Best TA Ever by wordslinging

Frank/Gerard, long. The title really says it all. *g* Link goes to final part, which has links to previous chapters.

Forever, Now by harriet_vane

Long genfic, where Gerard and Mikey are streetkids and Brian Schechter takes them home. No, not like that you perverts. Also, with the world's tiniest Frank who never fails to be awesome and hilarious, and some added Brendon/Spencer.

A Common Understanding by joyfulseeker

Pete/Patrick, long. A scifi AU where Pete blackmails Patrick into being his mistress. Lovely and hot, and yay for my favourite kink ever. ;)

Supersaturation, Solvation and Enthalpy by skoosiepants.

SGA/Bandom crossovers, long, with Brendon/Spencer, Frank/Gerard, Pete/Patrick, Ryan/Jon, Bob/Joe et al. Hilarious and endearing and engaging, and very much worth the read if you're into SGA at all.

If you want more, check out anything by bexless, giddygeek and skoosiepants. Or my Bandslash recs at del.icio.us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've read most of the Frank/Gerard ones via your del.icio.us already, but there's a couple there I've not got around to yet. ::squeeees!!!::

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

My Chem will make your life better!

[ellie-nor.livejournal.com]

They already have :-D

[rufus.livejournal.com]

. . . i've spent two (three?) evenings absorbing most of these stories (haven't gotten dug in to either of the s-f recs), and I don't even that much care for MCR. though I could be persuaded to start.

[snegurochka_lee]

Dude. I am so not in bandom that I don't even know who these bands are, srsly. But Femme is Femme, so I clicked on that one, and now I'm madly googling "Pete Patrick kissing" and shit, just to get on board. :D So, thank you!

Must read these others now. Good fic is just good fic, after all, regardless of whether I have any idea who these characters are... :)

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

Heh. This is how I got started on pretty much all my fandoms. And this one is so full of energy and excitement at the moment that I can really recommend it. And there's great music. And Frank Iero. :)

I might do a music post at some point, for further enabling purposes. *g*
