In this story, the author takes Gerard's canonical aversion to needles and gives it a twist by making him afraid of knitting needles. Normally, Gerard wouldn't think about it too much except for this one time when the one art store clerk who talks to him is none other than knitting enthusiast!Frank.
Trying to appear less failboat-y to Frank, Gerard lets him believe that he's just as much into yarn and knitting as Frank is. Of course, Gerard's lie prompts all kinds of randomly hilarious results.
Craftster!AU is one of those tropes Bandom really knows how to work. This story is just the latest example of the great type of fic this fandom has to offer.
