An Emergency of the Heart, by Bexless (PG-13)
I had all sorts of stern conversations with myself about audience and reception and the duties of the reccer, I shit you not, before I started putting stuff on here, because I wasn't sure whether I was gonna aim for the already-in-bandom contingent here or the casual crack-van reader. This story, if you're in bandom, I can evoke for you in just three words: tiny fatassed birds. You know the one? I thought so! 303 people (besides me) have it bookmarked, so unknown it ain't, but in the Gerard-Way-as-Intrinsically-Ridiculous stakes - my theme - it doesn't get better than this, so I'm reccing it all the same.
Fandom: Bandom (MCR focus)
Pairing: Gerard/Frank
Length: 13,000+

Why this must be read: This fic pushes you very, very quickly into that feeling of deep, heart-thumping glee that comes with a story done just right. It gives us, for example, Gerard Way - filthy, kinda depressed, nicotine addict Gerard Way - as Cinderella. And not just any Cinderella, but Disney's Cinderella. Hence, you see, the birds. And, of course, the mice:
And then Gerard goes to theball grotty club, and meets a handsome prince Frank, and there's glitter and pining and true love! And it's all written by someone obviously deeply appreciative of the twinned elements of bone-deep earnestness and unavoidable absurdity that is My Chem, with affection for the whole endeavour beaming through the lines. So if you're not one of those 303 people who already love this story, then I say, with the overweening appropriating pride of the reccer, you're welcome.* Heh.

The mice slip in just as he closes the door, and Gerard eyes the outfit the birds are laying out on his bed. "Black and grey, today, huh? What, you think I'm getting boring or something?"
The birds flutter around while Gerard drinks his coffee and finishes his cigarette. They always seem to know which clothes on the floor are - not clean, but less dirty than the others. Gerard doesn't know how, because he can never figure it out himself, but it's pretty fucking sweet.
The mice are doing something on his dresser and Gerard looks over. Oh, for - "I just showered, like, three days ago."
The mice shake the shampoo bottle at him a little violently, and as if he's not getting the fucking hint, the birds drop a towel into his lap.
And then Gerard goes to the
