I met him in the summer of 1922.

Frank goes to a Gatsby party and meets the mysterious Gerard Way. He is immediately enchanted by the man and is thrown into a world of love, obsession, partying, and tragedy.

Some general knowledge of the Great Gatsby story might help, but isn't entirely necessary. As some of the main Gatsby characters are in my story, I can't promise I won't give away any spoilers to the book.

Each chapter is named after some sad song, and each chapter description is a quote from The Great Gatsby.
Here are what we've got so far on the song front:
"Blinders"- Geographer
"Mr. Curiosity"- Jason Mraz
"Blue and Yellow" - The Used
"What Makes a Man" - City and Colour
"Of Angels and Angles" - The Decemberists
"Sleeping to Dream" - Jason Mraz
"Leave The Bourbon on the Shelf" - The Killers

*Also, I have just started posting this at Ao3. These are the only two places I post this.

1. Blinders

   “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

2. Mr. Curiosity

   "I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy."

3. Blue and Yellow

   "I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity."

4. What Makes a Man

   "No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart."

5. Of Angels and Angles

   "But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot."

6. Sleeping to Dream

   The most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. A universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain[...]the promise that the rock of the world was founded on a fairy's wings.

7. Leave The Bourbon On The Shelf

   "Once in a while I go on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love him all the time."

8. Love is Blindness

   "It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it [...] It faced--or seemed to face--the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor."
