Fic: The Good Life (MCR, Frank/Brian, NC-17)
The Good Life
MCR, Frank/OFCs, Brian/Frank, NC-17, 28000 words.
Frank's a fucking asshole, but that doesn't mean he's not trying to get it right. [AU where MCR never got together; the guys have half-decent jobs in a shitty New Jersey city, and they get together and drink at night. Also known as asshole!Frank.]
one | two | three
Notes:
stereomer read this in installments as I was writing it, and inspired asshole!Frank in the first place. This originated in the comments to an asshole!Frank post I made ages ago, here. Most of the good ideas came from ix-tab, who also cheered me on. There are a couple of missing scenes from this version, which I will probably post later. (Edit: here.)
Thank you to chiromancy for the first beta-reading. annavtree found a serious pacing problem in the story, which ended up helping me a great deal. hetrez and proscription reassured me about it way too many times, including a tag-team reassurance party this weekend. secrethappiness did a final read-through and supplied ideas to make it suck a little less. As always, any mistakes remaining are all mine.
Warning for Frank being a complete asshole, explicit sex (het and queer), a character who does sex work, non-explicit mention of an enema, violence, a lot of slurs (particularly homophobic ones, but also ableist terminology and fat-shaming), and cursing. Please feel free to email me about any additional warnings I should give.
Finally, the people in this story are characters; any resemblance to anyone living or dead is mostly coincidence.
