Why this Must Be Read:

This is my second Frank/Gerard My Chem story in a row. But boy, does it deserve it. This has a completely different style and tone from my last rec with them. I don't want to give too much away, but it's a real AU, as in "I've never seen a world like this one, holy crap". Warnings for violence.


The first time the tattooed guy kills him is with Colt Navy in a city Gerard can’t remember the name of.

It all happens before he can react in any way. Just a flash of white teeth, a tiny blast and a flash of pain when the bullet collides with his flesh. It’s one of those that were used before 1886; it has a leaden shell that flattens as it hits the target, tearing tissue and blood vessels as it slices through. Then, it gets stuck somewhere near Gerard’s peritoneum and the pain makes his knees buckle. He falls to the floor like a puppet with cut strings. The floor is old, wooden, and thin layer of dust rises from the surface when he hits it, tiny specks floating in a ray of light.

Another bullet tears into his heart, and then, it’s dark.

And even if there's a science fiction setting it's mostly just used as a backdrop, it's seldom an integral part of the plot like in this story.
