Gerard Way is a 29-year-old blood splatter analyst and a respected part of New Jersey's Homicide unit. He's charming and elusive, witty and happy go lucky; at least in the daylight when he is among his peers. He lives a dark secret double life, one that prevents him from letting anybody get too close to him. ...That is, until he meets Frank Iero, a 24-year-old that can't seem to keep himself out of trouble, and off of Gerard's mind.

* This story is based off of one of the greatest TV shows ever, Dexter. If you are familiar with the show, you'll find similarities because it's what inspired the story, but I will do my best to keep everything as original as I can. This story and the characters in it are all purely fictional, this never ever happened and never will. Rated NC-17 for a reason due to profanity, violence, and a good healthy dose of smut... If you don't like the above mentioned combination, this fic probably isn't for you. You have been forewarned! -- Enjoy :))

* This is co-written with one of the GREATEST Frerard writers of all time, one of my dearest friends Shelby [jon walker on mibba]. We've decided to come out of "retirement" and kicked our writer's block in the throat to bring you this wonderful new idea, the first original thing we've written in nearly FIVE years- please leave us some loving and tell us what you think of the story and its progression. We missed writing for you, did you miss us?!

1. "You don't know a thing about this life..."
