Three Cheers for Tyranny [index]
Three Cheers for Tyranny
Band(s): My Chemical Romance, cameos from various others
Pairing(s): Frank/Gerard, Mikey/Alicia
Word Count: 57,700+
Rating/Warnings: NC-17; MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH, graphic violence and a fair amount of blood, gore, and cursing.
Summary: Mafia AU. Loyalty - Respect - Honesty: values Frank takes to heart when he steps into position as Gerard Way's bodyguard and confidant.
Author's Notes: First and foremost: huge, huge, huge thank you to giddy_london, who has been with this fic since the very beginning, when it started out as a crappy little thing with a completely different focus. She encouraged me and gave me ideas, calmed me down when I freaked out about things like the pacing or the ending, and I think she loves this story as much as I do. Best cheerleader in the world. Some of these scenes never would've been written without her. ♥
Thank you as well to random_yayness and wonder_walldbc, who read my drafts and offered opinions even though they barely knew who the characters were, and also to my entire f-list for not screaming at me to shut up when I rambled on and on and on about this fic without letting them read it. Sorry, guys. :P
I never thought this would be as long or as involved as it turned out to be. I think I used up a full notebook writing and rewriting and editing by hand when my computer broke, and I still have pages upon pages of outlines and drafts and notes stuffed into various backpacks. I'm even more in love with this story than I was when I first started writing it, and not only do I have several compainion ficlets already written, but I'm planning several more. I just can't let this universe go. I hope you all like it. xoxo
