The Kings of Glamor by desfinado (NC-17)

This week's theme is Superporny Recs!

Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Gerard/Frank/Mikey
Length: 7,248 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] desfinado
Author Website: Masterlist
Why this must be read:

This is excellent sensory porn, a rich and fascinating exploration.

I love all the little details: the sounds, scents, and sensations extracted from the specific event of My Chemical Romance revisiting their roots at a small club show. The emotions the band attaches to returning to that particular time/space also allows for a return to certain adolescent explorations; it's messy, amorphous, and not so much permanent regression as re-familiarizing themselves with a space they're no longer used to and how it differs from their memories. The main difference here, of course, is an un-anxious threesomes with each other as longtime friends.

Warning: Incest. (This isn't an uncommon event in bandom, either. You are forewarned.)

Excerpt:

They're going to a show.

Not their own, not someone else's watched from side-stage or from the tents in the distance. Just a regular, darkened-bar, sticky-floored, boozy, sweaty local show. Someone had left a flyer under the van's windshield wipers this afternoon, neon green with a clip-art skeleton on it, and with a day off and nowhere to travel overnight Frank had pushed this show on the guys like it was his job.

So right now Gerard may be passed out, chin on his chest, damp patch at the collar of his hoodie from his open mouth. So Ray may be rubbing his temples and sighing really obviously every once in a while. So Otter may be pulling his sleeping bag out on the back bench seat and arranging it already for the night. Frank's got two nice, tightly-rolled joints in his wallet and an itch behind his teeth, that burning feeling of wanting to just scream a little bit, maybe be obnoxious in the pit so the delicate scene queens frown and give him his space, so the old guys like him who remember what it used to be like will slam him back with big stupid grins on their faces.

Frank is going to a fucking show.
