**HONOR AWARDS 1ST PLACE FANFICTION** Frank's life changed forever when he was 22 years old. And it will never be the same again. Two unbelievable, inexplicable events occured, driving off any normalicy in Frank's life. One good. One bad. But both of them crazy. Insane. Firstly a mysterious, morbid string of murders occured in Frank's town, just metres from his house. The victims were mutilated, slits cut along their bodies. The area fell into panic, the press labelling the serial killer as 'America's Ripper'. The second crazy thing was less of a thing, and more of a person. Gerard Way. An abnormally charming, strangly confident outcast that made it his duty to befriend Frank. But Frank has never met anyone like Gerard, and he starts to fall for him. Together, the two of them must face the menace that haunts the neighborhood, and find out if their relationship will break or hold strong. "Fire tests gold" ((Trigger warnings: Swearing, mild violence/gore))

How can two people so different be so perfect? A story of romance, tragedy, healing, and finally happiness, because everyone needs a happy ending sometimes. - Gerard doesn't talk to anyone, he doesn't know anyone, he's completely absorbed in the little bubble that is his independent little life. He's homeschooled as well, which means he only ever leaves to get groceries. For how little he leaves the house, and how closed off he is, it's quite a wonder how he met Frank. Frank is an extrovert and he kind of lacks boundaries when it comes to making friends. He's curious and speaks his mind constantly, which sometimes gets him into trouble. It must be good for something though, because not many people bother to figure out Gerard. Little did either of them no how much they'd change each other's lives. #1 tag in #frerardfanfiction 6/06/2024

"Gerard Arthur Way, my light, my love, my image of utter perfection, will you do me the absolute honor of marrying me? And if you marry me, would you stay mine forever, and never let anything or anyone bring us apart again? I love you." "I..." ~~~~ Vampire Frerard. Frank didn't even know how he got there. He was only looking for a shortcut to his lonely apartment in the cold night of New Jersey when he found himself being attacked by a stranger man. But this man appears to be a lot more trouble than he thought, as he is revealed to be one of the most dangerous creatures Frank has ever seen. What will happen when he gets into this mess, a 24 year-old man, college dropout, gay, with no family or friends, along with the walking mystery guy Gerard Way? Written with 100% respect for the real people, 100% fiction with no intentions on hurting anyone! (This is one of those edits where I tell you that I wrote this story when I was 14, meaning it's a hot mess and I had 0 grammar and made most of it up as I went)

"God, Gerard," he moaned, "Are you that oblivious?" Frank watched him nod with a shrug. He rolled his eyes and continued nonetheless, "I really like you. I just wanna be fucking normal!" He huffed rubbing his eyes, "I wanna do stuff that I would do if we were normal. Like fucking romance shit. Like holding hands on the roof and looking at stars. Or sing to my Pandora station while we clean parts of the church before Sunday. Or make out in the back of my car and listen to my favorite songs. And god I would kill to dance in the rain with you and not have to worry about anything. No vampire shit. No age gap. No fucking rumors. You know that half of this goddamn town knows about my love life?" He removed his hands from his eyes to stare at Gerard who was staring back intensely, "It sucks. Everything sucks. My fucking life sucks." TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of gore, mentions of loss, mentions of suicide, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal actions, MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH

[1920s mafia AU] Gerard Way is a young, ambitious journalist in NYC, partly controlled by the mafia. His yearning for the truth starts getting him into trouble, but he is willing to go as far as it takes for his investigations. Maybe a little too far. This also happens to be the case of a certain Mr. Iero, who shares... peculiar bonds with the mafia. What if fate gives them a hand and make their paths cross? Will they both survive such a challenge? ⚠️Trigger warnings⚠️ violence, blackmail, death, mental illnesses, mention of trafficking and lots of illegal things.

Boys, girls, and humans of all kind! Sit down, shut up, and strap in tight, because you're in for one fucked up ride. - Frankie is nothing short of a glorified serial killer, a psychotic basket case, the sickening product of a fucked up mind. While it's in his very instincts to tear answers right from the very tissue of his enemies, one broken kid makes him think twice. And boy is he broken. This is the twisted life of Frankie and Gee. A mafia inquisitor and an abused, ex-drug runner. - So, I've been steadily working at this for almost a year now. It's a long time coming, but I hope you guys like it. That being said, this will probably have a very selective audience considering it's content. This is, like the description mentions, one fucked up and weird story. So, enjoy at your own risk, but don't come yelling at me if you're not that into it. I started this story off trying to somewhat vaguely base Frank and Gee off of Harley and The Joker, but with a little twist. I have no idea how it ended up the way it did, but I like it. Not to mention, I'm a total sucker for mafia!frank. I'm sure this probably isn't the best, but oh well. Here it is. P.s. The stories aren't exactly supposed to connect like a typical plot line. Its more a collection of experiences. -xoxoRiley

Frank's cousin Richard offers him a job in the summer at the restaurant he owns. But it's not a restaurant.

The boy is really cute, he likes all the music Frank likes, and Frank really thinks he likes him. His name is Gerard. Gerard always sneaks out, to drink, do drugs, smoke. His parents try to talk to him, but it never gets through. After a failed suicide attempt they just give up. They give Gerard to one of his moms close colleagues. Mrs. Linda Iero and her family. After another failed attempt lands Gerard in the hospital, Frank and Gerard get closer and closer. I update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. TRIGGER WARNING (suicide, self harm, drug and alcohol abuse, and I think that's all)

In Italy, the Iero family was part of one of the biggest mafias there ever was. The boss of it all, Frank Iero, Sr., watched over everything and saw to it that every member was loyal. When he's gunned down, his only son is left to take over the "family business", and lead the Italian mafia. Frank is dangerous, but when he meets a young, naive porn star on the way to fame, he hides all the danger that surrounds him and acts like he's as normal as any other person. But how long can Frank keep up the charade?

On his 18th anniversary, Frank Iero's parents reveal him their family secret. They tell him how their town has always been haunted and how their family, along with some others, are there to make their hometown a safer place. Along with all those shocking news, he finally starts dating his crush, but little does he know that he is one of the things his parents told him to kill. When Frank discovers about it, will he kill someone he cares about to honour his family, or will he betray his family and continue dating someone he's not suppose to? --- Other mysterious shit happening, but read to find out. -- um... i was rereading this and let me tell you i think i had a good idea but my writing is so shit. if you want better stuff check my other fics or my one shots but you can still read this cause i'm still proud of the idea. also the amount of vine references is not normal i was obsessed. - Tw: blood, gore, abuse, homophobia, smut (maybe other stuff to come, idk tell me if you're triggered from anything.)

Gerard was in town to visit his brother Mikey like any normal good brother would do, but things turn out to be a bit complicated when he 'accidentally' kills his brother's friend, and it gets even more complicated when that friend doesn't stay dead for long. Things seem complex now but it gets even worse when Gerard is haunted down by a bitter ex boyfriend and a powerful demon, how will he manage to survive all that? And could his not-so-dead victim be his end or salvation? Tbfh I suck at description but I do encourage reading this, it's kinda promising when you get into it... well, I sure hope so. All the love, HR xx.
