To Have and To Hold series by Fleurdeliser and Tuesdaysgone (NC-17)
Hello, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lucifuge_5 and I'll be driving the Bandom van this month! \o/! My Chemical Romance is the band of my heart so my recs will be about them. There will be a ~theme~ for each group of fics I'm pimping. I've chosen old as well as new stories across several pairings and I hope y'all find something to enjoy.
This week, I'll be focusing on the super-cute and hot OT4 that is Frank/Jamia/Gerard/Lindsey. All right, let's start the tour! :D!
Fandom: BANDOM (MCR)
Pairing: Frank Iero/Jamia Nestor/Gerard Way/Lindsey Ballato in all possible combinations
Length: 97, 219 words split into a long fic and a short coda.

Why this must be read: The short version is that this is a poly AU that has pining, UST, sweetness and naughty times by the ton. ;)
Here's the long version:
Frank and Jamia have been together for years (they're married when the story begins). The thing is, even though he loves Jamia with all of his heart, Frank's also been not-so-secretly in love with Gerard for a decade. For his part, Gerard feels the same way about Frank but, out of respect for Jamia as well as for the commitment Frank has with her, Gerard's chosen not to give into his emotions. Both guys are aware of what's going on--at least, enough to talk about it circumspectly--while Jamia gets occasionally annoyed that nothing's been resolved.
But then, Gerard meets Lindsey and falls head over heels for her (while still pining for Frank.) He's mostly happy that Lindsey gets him in a way that previous boyfriends and girlfriends of his didn't. Frank ends up liking Lindsey (even though he's a tad jealous that he doesn't get to kiss Gerard) ;__; . Jamia thinks of Lindsey as a very cool friend she sometimes half-flirts with. . .
The first story is deliciously and fittingly long. It's super-neat to see the OT4 take their first steps into trying to determine how the different pairings work and what limit and/or boundaries there might be. This is an awesome fic to read if you've got a hankering for M/M, M/F, F/F, M/M/F and M/F/M/F. More than that, though, there are plenty of scenes where the characters interact outside of the bedroom. You get the feeling that these people genuinely like each other. Other than the Frank/Gerard scenes, my personal favorites were the Gerard/Jamia ones because they were tremendously adorable with each other.
Finally, the coda is heart-warming. Based on the canon event of Lindsey getting a new kitten for Christmas, the way the authors incorporated it into the THATH 'verse is ultra-sweet.
