Why this must be read: The one where Frank and Gerard makes a list of the reasons they don't fuck.
This is another classic story I'm suprised hasn't been recced before. I love pretty much everything about it: that it's an on-tour story, the way it involves the whole band and not just the main pairing, all the snark and humour and pranks, and the awesome bunksex. Add in some great writing and a warm, sunny atmosphere, and the result is the absolutely best sort of feel-good story.
Excerpt from the story:
"What the fuck is this?" Ray asks the next morning, when Frank is bright-eyed and perky and Gerard is still blinking blearily at the world from behind the shelter of his coffee mug.
"Gerard and I are making a list of reasons we don't fuck," Frank supplies helpfully. It's currently a short list; Frank had started things off with 'showers bi-monthly,' Gerard had retaliated with 'too short for frottage' - which, what the fuck ever, Frank was awesome at frottage - and they had both agreed on 'not enough room in the bunks.'
"Oh," Ray says after a minute, a puzzled frown hovering over his face. "That's cool."
"Are we all allowed to get in on this?" Bob asks, bouncing a rubber super-ball on the tabletop. "I could come up with a few."
"Condoms are expensive," Gerard contributes suddenly. Frank stares at him for a few seconds, trying to follow the logic-trail of breadcrumbs through the labyrinth of Gerard's mind.
"That's more of an argument against having sex with anyone, though," Ray points out thoughtfully. "Not just Frank."
"And we could still have blowjobs," Frank points out, catching on quickly, just as Mikey walks in through the doorway leading to the bunks and stops dead in his tracks.
He rubs his eyes, obviously still waking up, and then says, "Ew," and, "Please tell me you're not still talking about having sex with my brother."
"We're talking about me not having sex with your brother," Frank corrects. Bob bounces the ball across to him and Frank sends it back by way of the windowpane. "We made a list."
Mikey stops to consider the list, then picks up a pen from the table and writes carefully, 'for Mikey's sanity.'
"I heard you and that girl once," Gerard says mildly, sipping at his coffee.
"Oh god," Ray moans, intercepting the pen from Mikey and adding, 'because we'd all have to hear it.'
