Ride by Synchronik (R)
Hi, I'm
_mydecember_, and I'm reccing My Chemical Romance RPS this month. I love this band, I love this fandom, and I'm very excited to be doing this.
Fandom: MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE RPS
Pairing: Gerard/Frank

Why this must be read: Ride is not some elaborate AU. It's a deceptively simple fic, a story where the band plays some bar in Ohio and Gerard and Frank get together. And yet it is so much more than that. The characterization is perfect, the dialogue is perfect, everything just *flows*. It's funny and sweet and mellow and one of my favorite MCR fics ever.
It was strange, watching himself onstage, as he had from time to time when someone videotaped a show, because what seemed clear and in control to him at the time he did it came across as crazed and painful in later viewings. The thought that he could, possibly, see himself at some point rolling around on the floor, his shirt untucked, his belly flashed at an unflattering angle, was almost enough to make him stop doing it, so he vowed not to watch any more videos and kept doing whatever he felt like onstage. He screamed at the audience (most of whom got it, and screamed right back). He jumped off the edge of the little stage as if it were a cliff and he were committing suicide. He flung his arms out wide like Jesus and crawled on his knees and rolled on the floor and got himself tangled in the microphone cord and he sang into Frankie's mic, ignoring the screech of feedback from his own, and at one point, toward the end of the set, when Frankie came over to tell him something or ask him something or say something, Gerard kissed him.
