turpsI submitted my BBB wave 3 last night.
But that's not what I'm here to talk about. As part of my slowest long fic read ever I've spent the morning reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyfoxxx's wave one. We Used to be Friends is Frank/Mikey, and all kinds of amazing. There was no way I could stop reading this morning. It had my attention from the first word and I was disappointed when I finally reached the end.
If you haven't read it yet you should consider doing so because seriously, so good *_______*
This bbb season has been so great, and it's not even over yet. I keep saying it every time I rec a new awesome Frank/Mikey story but I'm so happy the pairing is being written more often, all these excellent writers who gift us with these incredible well-written stories. So. Much. Love!

Date: 2012-08-21 03:38 pm (UTC)I'm enjoying all these Frank/Mikey stories because goodness knows how long it's going to last.
You mean Bob/Gerard? I know you love Gerard/Gabe too but I'm putting that in the rarely got written in the first place camp.

It was the pairing I thought would replace Bob/Gerard and it just didn't happen. Also, the other rarer pairings like Patrick/Gerard and Pete/Gerard have pretty much dried up completely. It's like the only Gerard fans around these days are the Frank/Gerard people and it makes me a little sad.

Date: 2012-08-22 10:02 am (UTC)Well, there are plenty of Gerard/Mikey people around still but I know that doesn't help with getting more Gerard stories that aren't Frank/Gerard.
I'd like to see more Ray/Gerard, more Ray fic in general in fact, those two match together really nicely. I'm not sure if it was you or someone else who said they're a comfortable pairing, one where you can easily see them happy and content.

Date: 2012-08-22 02:42 pm (UTC)No, I don't think it was me that said that. I completely agree with it though. It's the kind of pairing it makes me happy to contemplate. Maybe it's not popular because people consider that boring? I don't know.

Date: 2012-08-22 12:21 pm (UTC)I'm having a terrible time getting stories read. I decided to take the day yesterday and just read, which is great, but nothing I can do often. I hope you enjoy when you do get to read.
