The Light Behind His Eyes (Frerard)

Summary

Frank Iero is a runaway that was forced out of the closet by his bigoted parents, and had no place to call home...until he met up with some familiar faces from high school, Ray (a drag queen), Bob (a stoner), and Mikey (a comic book merchant). They all take Frank under their wing out of sympathy, reminding him he’s not alone. Then, in his new home, Frank meets Mikey’s older brother...a known murderer that’s named Gerard Way. Infatuated with revenge, he claims that he will not rest until he hunts down the people that have “ruined” him and robbed him of his innocence: bullies from school, abusive foster parents, and the two men that brutally murdered his and Mikey’s parents. As Frank begins to settle down with his new but peculiar life, he soon realizes that he’s falling in love with the cold-blooded killer. To Frank’s surprise, Gerard is doing the same exact thing in return...at least, that’s what it seems to him...

I'm quite late writing this comment, but this story is extremely underrated and one of the best on here. I remember reading this 2 years ago, remembering how beautifully tragic this is. I hope you are doing well now, it seems like everyone on here has left.

It's 5am... I've been reading this for almost 5 hours, I read the entire thing from start to finish without stopping because it was that fucking amazing, by far one of the best fan fics I've ever read and I can't commend you enough for such amazing work. It was also the first fanfic to make me cry, so beautifully tragic, and I loved it more with every unexpected twist. Definitely a story I could read again and again :)
