In the TV Light by Dira Sudis (explicit)
This is my last rec. Thank you guys so much for putting up with me for the inaugural bandom month; it was a lot of fun. I hope that my overview was helpful and informative for you guys, and that you enjoyed the recs. I hope I've sucked some of you into this insanity. Trying to narrow all of the fantastic bandom stories down to only twelve recs was excruciating. I've left out so many amazing stories, and ugh. But at least I know that there are some great reccers following me who will surely pick up my slack.

Why this must be read:
Like I said, I vacillated so much on what story I wanted to pick as my last rec to round out the month, and I finally decided on this one. It's a quiet, silly, first time My Chemical Romance story, and it contains some of my favorite cliches. There's pining and obliviousness and everyone-knows-but-the-main-character, and the author gains about a thousand geek scene-cred points for gratuitous mentions of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and Blackadder.
Bob tilted his head toward the TV. "Wanna watch? There's enough for everybody."
Gerard grinned, rubbing one eye like a little kid, and said, "Sure, what is it?"
Bob stared. "Gerard, seriously, you were a loser geek in high school and you didn't ever see Blackadder?"
Gerard shrugged. "The other loser geeks didn't like me enough to share their tapes."
Bob patted the couch beside him. "Come on, I'll start it over."
Gerard sat down, wrapping his blanket around himself, and when Bob settled back to watch from the beginning, he realized Gerard had planted himself a careful foot away, his knees drawn up to prop his chin on.
Bob stared. "You're seriously going to sit over there?"
Gerard looked over at him without moving his head, the glow of the TV screen reflecting off the whites of his eyes. "I'm respecting the personal boundaries of others this week."
Bob didn't think that was a Step, so it must have been a therapy thing. He rolled his eyes. "Well, I'll tell you to knock it off if you start drooling in my ear, okay? Come on."
