Hi, I'm aka, and I'll be your Bandom driver this month. Our van's full of merch and smells like beer, pot and stale burritos, but it's what we've got.
It's been a tough year for Bandom in many ways, and a good year in others, but it hasn't stopped the flow of amazing fanworks in the fandom. Such is life in a RPF fandom.
Anyway, I'm pretty open to the various pairings in the fandom, but I do have a strong bias toward MCR, and rarer pairs, and I'm going to try to highlight some of the more recent stories in the fandom.
Fandom: BANDOM (MCR, with guest appearances from other bands)
Pairing: Frank Iero/Gerard Way
Length: ~32k words
Author on DW: ktc
Author Website: ktc on AO3
Why this must be read: Because ktc created the most amazing world, filled with dragons and magic and bells, and because she built the city of Jersey in her head and made it come to life. Jersey is populated with characters and creatures that feel real and believable.
ktc takes us on a journey with Frank, bike courier extraordinaire, as he stops being a bystander to his own life. We watch as his relationship to Gerard and magic evolve and change and grows richer. Frank opens himself up to the possibilities and it's beautiful to see.
The story is sweet and satisfying in all the best ways. ktc did a wonderful job of writing this story, and I hope she continues to tell us stories of cute boys and dragons. <3
Frank knows where Gerard’s office at the university is, because he’s made a couple of deliveries there: mostly from bookshops, and the archives of the city museum. And he knows Gerard’s favorite place to get coffee in the afternoon, because he’s run into him three times coming out of the same little cafe, nose buried in a paper cup and looking blissed out. But from what Frank can tell, Gerard rarely strays from the university and its surrounding environs. He has no idea where to find Gerard outside of business hours.
Which is fine: it’s not like Frank’s obsessing over the guy. Really.
It's just that every time he runs into Gerard he’s always late for his next delivery, because they always get caught up talking about something or other. Gerard is fucking fascinating, and he’s smart, and he’s talented—his office is covered in amazingly detailed sketches and diagrams, the kind you’d find in books, and Gerard had blushed when he’d admitted that they were his. Gerard is really pretty when he blushes. He’s really pretty all the time.
Okay. So Frank might have a little bit of a thing.
