Won't Know 'til You Begin by knight_tracer and Sena (Explicit)

This is my last rec for the month! I had a blast sharing fic, and I hope my fellow bandom readers saw some links they hadn't before.

A note about today's rec: it's part of [community profile] pod_together, which, as I understand it, involves a higher level of collaboration between podfic reader and fic writer than in normal situations. As such, even though I haven't listened to the podfic yet, I've included both creators in the post.

Fandom: BANDOM (My Chemical Romance)
Pairing: Frank/Mikey
Length: 24,315 words.
Creators on AO3: faviconknight_tracer and faviconSena

Why this must be read: Frank/Mikey is one of my all-time favorite pairings, and this story is the perfect example of how well this pairing can be done. Everything about it feels really natural: the way their best-friends compatibility evolves when Frank discovers that they have non-platonic things in common, the way everyone screws up (and responds to the screw-ups), the dialogue. And, like many of the stories I recced this month, the sex scenes are absolutely scorching.

Summary
In which Frank is an accidental pervert, Mikey sleeps with Fabio, Gerard is much too sincere when talking about pain sluts, Ray is terrible with women and great with guitars, and Otter's got really bad taste in music. Alternately, the one where Frank realizes he has a thing for Mikey, Mikey realizes he has a thing for guys, and they're both adorably stupid failboats.
Excerpt
Mikey looks up at him suddenly with wide eyes. "Do not tell Gerard."

"It's not like he's going to judge you for being, um, for experimenting."

"He'll want to talk about it," Mikey says. "He'll want me to talk about my feelings and, seriously, no."

Frank nods. "I won't tell him, I swear. Is that orange soda on your fucking cereal?"

Mikey shrugs and takes another bite. With his mouth full, he says, "We're out of milk."

Frank rolls his eyes. Mikey is such a heathen sometimes. Everybody knows that Mountain Dew goes best with Cheerios.
