You know I'm getting the MCR boxed set, I want a ray gun! The postage will be a killer but it's my Christmas gift for the year so I don't care. Plus,



Things I want to know. Is that a motorbike behind Mikey? If so, hotness! Especially as certain people have now made Mikey and his motorbike equal sexy fun times in my mind. If it's not a motorbike and in fact is a rock or something, don't disillusion me. Also, Ray and his guitar. Does he go stand on a sand dune and play mournful music to the world? Do they have bonfires and Ray performs for them all? Are there secret Killjoys live shows in the middle of the desert!?

I was emailing themoononastick about stories I have in the works and finally I've got my happy fic Pete/Mikey story pretty solid in my mind, I was also telling her about the story I'm writing for Help Pakistan and she refused to indulge me by saying it won't be longfic. So it seems I'm going to spend another autumn writing about sex slaves in cages \o/

That 11 facts meme, I have facts for Frank and Gerard in the Killjoys GSF verse, Mikey in Tints verse, Pete in Sugar Survivors and Bob in Shades of Truth. The rest of the asks were for Shelter verse or Standing on the Graves of Dreams plus a few stragglers, I'll pull those together and post when they're done.



Pete in Sugar Survivors.

(1) When Pete is first given the business card his first instinct is to rip it up. He can't help thinking that paying for sex is for losers, and as low as he's sunk -- and that's very low in the past -- he's never had a problem getting laid.

(2) When he gets in one of his downward spirals it feels like the whole world hates him. Something he reinforces by getting online and reading every negative opinion about himself he can find. Pete knows it's fucked up, but if he reads those it feels like there's some basis for his own self-loathing.

(3) Sometimes Pete phones home when he knows his mom will be out. That way he'll get to hear her voice on the answer machine, but won't have to actually talk.

(4) Each time he does that she phones back and says she loves him. Pete never answers those calls.

(5) The first time he met Mikey Pete expected the reality to be nothing like the picture. That's just how life is. It's one of the reasons Pete was so thrown, because in this case reality was even better.

(6) When Pete says he's gay above the waist he's being truthful. Meeting Mikey was never about sex, it was about an instant connection via picture and Pete needing company.

(7) Which Pete knows is insane, but he's lived his life jumping on instinct. Sure, sometimes those jumps lead to him crashing down, but often it leads to him flying.

(8) When Pete goes back to the hotel Patrick, Andy and Joe are waiting. Patrick's pissed, yelling about Pete just taking off and what the hell was he doing. Pete tells him that he was off meeting the love of his life. Patrick throws a shoe at Pete and stalks out of the room.

(9) Patrick does talk to Pete again, after Pete's given him twenty seven songs all about Mikey and lost loves.

(10) It takes two weeks and four cities before Patrick snaps and tells Pete if Mikey means that much why doesn't Pete arrange for another date? Pete tells him that he's scared, what if he sees Mikey again and this time it's not perfect?

(11) Pete doesn't mention Mikey again after that, there's no point, he's just yet another thing Pete's lost. Then one night Patrick grabs him, says, don't say I don't love you, and shoves Pete into the bus. Where the first thing Pete sees is Mikey.



Mikey in Tints verse.



(1) When he was young Mikey used to put bread crumbs and grass in the dragon bird bath. Only Gerard asked what he was doing, and he never laughed when Mikey told him he was feeding the dragon. Because Mikey knew at night the dragon came to life and ate what he left.

(2) Mikey never tells Gerard that he eventually saw him going out and sweeping up the mixture before throwing it into the next door neighbour's yard.

(3) Even now, when things are so much better, it still takes Mikey a moment to remember his actual age. Fact is, it feels like he's lived a life time already.

(4) Mikey's only hated Gerard once. Intense, burning hatred when he found him on the bathroom floor and realised that Gerard had tried to leave him behind too.

(5) Mikey thinks that the saying boys don't cry is stupid. If he doesn't cry sometimes he'd have to scream instead, and if he does that he'd never stop.

(6) Mikey hates arguing with Frank, sure that when it happens Frank will walk away and never come back. When Frank realises each time they argue he'll stop before stalking away, say 'I'm fucking angry with you right now but I will come back' each time he has.

(7) Frank's the love of Mikey's life. Simple as.

(8) Mikey resents Bob for a while. It feels like he's taking on roles that are supposed to be Mikey's, even if those roles leave him exhausted.

(9) Mikey loves the whole process of helping Frank dye his hair. How Frank will laugh, be pliant under Mikey's hands as they crouch over the tub and add the new colour.

(10) The first time Linda refers to Mikey as her son he spills coffee down his front and has to spend twenty minutes in the bathroom pulling himself together.

(11) Mikey never loves flowers and plants as much as Frank, but he does learn their names and helps in the garden. By sitting in the shade and admiring Frank's ass. Which hey, counts.



Frank in the Killjoys gsf verse.



(1) Frank doesn't keep track of dates and anniversaries but he does keep sense memory snapshots of certain times. How the smog was extra thick the day Jamia was taken, chemicals coating his throat and tongue. How the air was dry when he finally ran, the searing pain of flesh against hot metal, the rumble as he tumbled through ventilation tubes to outside. The scratch of his blanket that first night, lonely despite being surrounded by people.

(2) That night is the only time he's ever seriously thought about walking into the desert and not stopping. No supplies, no water. Nothing but a death wish and a need to escape what feels like an all consuming loss.

(3) He's never thought like that since.

(4) The first time Frank laughs after losing Jamia he feels like the worst person ever. He spends the rest of the day alone, remembering how Jamia laughed and the way she liked to dance as she listened to the illegal broadcasts, the way she looked at Frank like he was the sun in her world.

(5) Lots of people try to talk to Frank that day, he tells them all to fuck off. Mikey comes along last and he doesn't say a word, just sits next to Frank through the long cold night and into a new morning. When the sun starts to rise Frank says, "I miss her." All Mikey says in reply is, "I know."

(6) Frank goes through an extra angry phase. He goes out looking for Dracs to slaughter and takes pleasure in the spray of blood and gurgling screams. He stops when he comes back to base and the kid looks at his blood scattered face and recoils in fear.

(7) Frank kisses Mikey first. It's over a year since Frank left Battery City and he's scared they're losing Mikey, who's there in body but not in spirit. It's why Frank grabs him one day and holds him close, fingers digging in brutally hard and teeth clashing. He does it to provoke a reaction, and Frank gets one, Mikey's tongue in his mouth and he tastes of desperation, dry and bloody. It would be easy to maintain that pace, keep it brutal and demanding, but Frank doesn't allow that. He slows it down, no matter how hard Mikey fights against it, showing him that Frank's there, that Mikey's loved and needed.

(8) The night after that kiss Frank eases himself out of Mikey's embrace and goes outside. Standing in pitch darkness he tells Jamia he's sorry and that he still loves her. In his mind she replies and says she wants him to be happy.

(9) The first time Frank sees Gerard watching he puts on a show. Shoving his hand under Mikey's t-shirt to show off the pale skin of his back, biting at Mikey's neck and making him groan. Frank knows that Gerard knows he's been seen, that only makes it better.

(10) It takes a while for Ray to join in. Resistant to Gerard's words and Mikey's pleading looks, Ray gives in when Frank stalks over, grabs Ray and kisses him, saying, "We want you Toro, now get your fucking ass over there already."

(11) Frank doesn't bottom often, but when he does he likes to be the focus of attention. Fucked hard by them all, come drying on his face and chest, his neck dark with mouth-shaped bruises, his whole body thrumming and the kind of sore he'll feel for days.

(1) Being with three other guys is complicated at times. While they've got the same core of beliefs they're four very different people, and often one will go spinning off on their own. Or Mikey and Gerard will have one of their rare arguments that leave everyone feeling tense and wrong or Ray will need time alone, where he'll sit and mourn what he's lost. At times like that, when Frank feels confused and unsure he remembers being part of a couple, and how easy and simple that seemed.

(2) Those moments never last long. Then they're pulling back together, four cogs that combine into something smooth and effective, but more than anything, something that's powered by love.

(3) Frank's a sap at times, he admits it. The fact that now he sometimes thinks in metaphors is something he blames totally on Gerard.

(4) The day Ray caught a phaser blast to the chest was the day that Frank dropped to his knees and prayed to a God that he'd started to hate.

(5) It was four days after that, when Ray was burning up with fever, infection creeping in red tendrils and breathing shallow that he'd asked to see Frank. Sitting in the make-shift hospital room, the stink of rotting flesh at the back of his throat Frank had listened as Ray fought for breath and lucidity and told Frank that if it got worse Frank had to end it, before Ray became a liability to them all.

(6) After, Frank had spent weeks wondering why he'd been the one Ray had asked for. And what kind of person he was that Frank had finally said yes.

(7) Sometimes, when he's alone, Frank likes to jerk off thinking about Gerard and Mikey kissing. Not for any element of shock that makes it attractive, incest means little in their way of life, more that the bond between them is so strong that it's like watching love, attraction and sex all bound together into an explosive bundle.

(8) Frank loves that Mikey can get forceful during sex, and that he's got a filthy mouth. Watching Mikey make Gerard come through words alone is a memory Frank will never forget.

(9) Often, Frank dreams of deep baths and long showers.

(10) Show Pony keeps trying to teach Frank how to roller skate, each time Frank ends up lying on his back, laughing so hard it takes long minutes before he can even think about getting back up.

(11) Frank thought he'd only fall in love once in his life. He was wrong.


Gerard in the Killjoys GSF.


(1) Gerard only ran because of Mikey. Truthfully, back then it would have been easier to give in to the inevitable and become one of the drones, accepting a life without colour, sheltering under glass domes and breathing recycled air. Then Mikey was busted for listening to illegal music, coming home with an official warning on his record and welts around both wrists. They'd ran that night, Gerard's apathy not extending to watching his brother go down for something that brought him so much pleasure.

(2) For a long time Gerard thinks he's made the biggest mistake of his life. Eating scavenged rations and surviving on a shared bottle of water is brutal, but somehow they manage to keep going, sheer bloody mindness keeping them putting on foot in front of the other.

(3) Finding Dr Death Defying seems like a miracle. That he actually lets them stay is even more so.

(4) It's Mikey that first kisses Gerard. They've been sleeping together since the beginning, curled together for warmth and comfort, but it's never been anything more, until Mikey pushes himself up on one elbow and stares down at Gerard and says that he loves him. Which should sound like some kind of cliché but from Mikey it's nothing but a statement of fact, put out there as he leans in for a kiss. The first one, but also, one that feels like it's been happening forever.

(5) When Ray and the kid turn up it takes Gerard almost a week to realise that they're looking toward Gerard for leadership. When he does realise Gerard goes and freaks out for almost an hour, because he was never supposed to be a leader, he doesn't want to be a leader. He's Gerard Way, nobody or nothing special. When he tells Mikey that Mikey rolls his eyes, says, "As if," before wandering away, saying fondly, "Moron," as he does so.

(6) Gerard loves his leather jacket, and often wears it even when there's no need. When there's no dracs anywhere close and it's so hot it feels like he's swimming in sweat. Fact is, it's his shield against the world, his own fuck you and protection.

(7) Gerard isn't sure about Frank at first. He comes to them shaking and burned, eyes wide and so smothered in sadness Gerard can hardly breathe around him. Frank's a self ghosting waiting to happen, and Gerard's wary, sure he's going to wake up one morning and find Frank gone. That does't happen, but what does happen is Frank and Mikey developing some kind of instant friendship. The kind that leads to Mikey staying with Frank one night leaving Gerard alone. He hates himself for even thinking it, but Gerard's jealous.

(8) Gerard knows exactly how many dracs that he's killed, how many friends he's seen die, how many people he's lost. He wishes he could forget those numbers, but knows there's no chance.

(9) Leadership is a heavy burden, one that sometimes gets too much. The first time that happens Gerard's running on auto pilot, jumping into the Trans Am and taking off into the night, blood on his hands, sand under the wheels and music up so high he can't think. When he goes back hours later Frank punches him in the face and threatens if he ever does that again he'll ghost Gerard himself. And Gerard would be angry but he sees how Mikey's every barrier is down and fixed in place and how the kid's eyes are red and he's about to aplogise when Ray grabs him and holds on, says, "There's better ways, believe me."

(10) That night Gerard sleeps with Ray, held close, silent tears soaking Ray's shirt. It's the first time Gerard's cried in forever. It helps.

(11) It's not often they get the time, space or security to spend time indulging in sex. Mostly it's fast, which makes the times they do get to indulge even more special. Gerard knows which one of them likes, how Ray loves to fuck with his fingers and Frank deep throat and Mikey to indulging in lengthy rimming. Gerard likes all those too, but also, he likes to watch as they come on each others bodies, Gerard running his fingers through the come drying on Frank's chest, Mikey's face, Ray's lower back, swirling designs onto skin, a form of claiming that makes them Gerard's.


Bob in Shades of Truth.


(1) Arriving in the I'm Not Okay video the first time is one of Bob's most surreal experiences. It's like going from nothing to 100 within seconds and he spends the first day of awareness stumbling around and trying to understand what the hell has just happened.

(2) He never actually says it out loud, but Bob hates that he's got no place in the prep school scenes or his own school uniform. It makes him feel set aside somehow, no matter how often the others say that it doesn't.

(3) Which ties into why Bob's only visited Honey and Vampires once. It's not that he doesn't like Matt, they've had plenty of talks sitting on the edge of a float or on the steps of a rain soaked church. It's just, those videos aren't Bob's, and that matters.

(4) It freaks Bob out that Ray watches Mikey die so often. It's why Bob doesn't linger when they visit that video. There's only so many times he can watch Ray shatter inside, caught on a reality he has no hope of ever changing.

(5) Bob's only kissed Spencer once. In the middle of the lake in a bobbing boat, the sun shining bright above them. After Spencer had rowed them ashore and Bob had walked away, mouth swollen and skin warm, and knew they'd never do it again.

(6) For the longest time Bob didn't think Pete had it in him to be a leader. No matter what Mikey said, all Bob saw was someone with a smile too bright to be real. Then Bob started paying attention, seeing the way Pete pulled strings behind the scenes, shoring up their boundaries any way that he could. They're never going to be actual friends, but Bob will follow Pete, always.

(7) Bob has a love/hate thing going with Famous Last Words. He loves that it's his band, his family singing Mikey home, he hates that it ends with Bob himself hurting.

(8) The shackles and chains used in Desolation Row? Bob found a use for them with his band, enough said.

(9) Bob doesn't actually like his Black Parade uniform that much. It's hot and itchy and digs into his neck. He's never told Gerard, and never will.

(10) Bob's had sex with Lady Gaga. Or maybe technically she's had sex with him. Bob's face pushed against a bed, panting for breath and his hands fisted as she fucked him wearing a strap on.

(11) Bob hasn't got a Killjoys uniform, or raygun, or his own nifty mask. But he does have a name, and an urge to laugh every time he hangs out at the diner, his four brothers around him, watching themselves flicker as they eat out of cans and look like an exploding rainbow.

I've been discussing that box with myself :-) It's quite expensive but I want it so much! Justifying it as a Christmas present is quite genius of you, I never even thought of that. Maybe I will order it after all...

ETA: Meeep! I've just ordered it!

♥ Gerard so much!

[turps]

I'm glad you did order. Ray guns! They have to be in our lives.

He's a special cupcake for sure.

[digital_diva]

ETA: Meeep! I've just ordered it!

Well, in that case, Merry Christmas! ahahaha!

[digital_diva]

*scrolls by like a maniac* ;-)

Where is last night's CSI? *whines*

[turps]

Are you not a member of i heart? It's up there.

Though it better be better than last weeks. I mean, sharks. The hell?

[kin_you_bi]

That is indeed a motorbike behind Mikey. :-) Sadly, I can't see enough of it to identify the make (I can't even quite tell if it's a dirtbike or road - dirt would make sense with the terrain of the zones, but it's looking a little roadbike to me). Interestingly, the bike appears to be white - did Mikey steal it from Korse & his flunkies?

The Mikey Tintsverse 11 facts ficlet is lovely, btw. Especially 1&2.

[turps]

YES! Motorbike porn is so in my future!

I hope he did steal it, then Korse would come and try and get it back and there would be epic battles and chases over the sand and maybe an explosion where they thought Mikey died but instead he rolled off like the bad ass he is.

Thank you <3

[frausorge]

Oh, Ray definitely performs for them all. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN NUDGE NUDGE

Mikey has such a pretty profile.

Thank you thank you thank you for the beautiful Mikey facts! I love #4 and 8 especially, they make me meep. Also #10. I have such a thing for asserted family. And #11! yay! all so awesome!

and also favorites: Kj!Frank #1-8 - oh my HEART. Jamia! And Kj!Gerard #11, oohhh. The marking. And Booooooobbbbbbb. meep! He totally must keep hanging out!

[turps]

I think I know where you mind is going!

Thank you for asking about them. I was telling Turlough above that Tints verse is one I feel comfortable in, but there's no actual stories left to tell, so these fact were lovely to do.

It's bad I have this whole Killjoys gsf verse planned out.

[dancinbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Things that are pretty, you has them in this post. I'm too tired to be really articulate but mmm pretty.

Also *paws you a little* stuff still in your inbox?

[dr-jasley.livejournal.com]

sooo much awesomeness here

*spins you* ♥ The Gerard Killjoy one really makes me want to start writing the Animorph's AU(because I'm a weird dork and an alien invasion's something I haven't written yet)

but dude total glee over all of this :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And you should do that. It would be amazing.

[myorangecrush.livejournal.com]

I want it as well and the shipping only goes up by $2 if you increase it to two items. Wanna share?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I would but I won't be able to order until payday at the end of the month :(

[inlovewithnight.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love all of these. Whole worlds sketched out. ♥

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, I like playing in the verses without the actual work of writing in them. It's a win win really.

[ladyfoxxx.livejournal.com]

They are offering the box set for sale on the UKU Undercurrents store (http://store.ukundercurrent.com/store) also - only 100 of them though - and they are charging a bomb that doesn't line up with the exchange rate. I got a 9 pound discount code if you want it, but I will probably order from the US store and get it brought over.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Ouch at that price. I think I'm going to do the same as you. Thanks for the link though, and the offer of the code ♥

[desfinado.livejournal.com]

Frank doesn't bottom often, but when he does he likes to be the focus of attention. Fucked hard by them all, come drying on his face and chest, his neck dark with mouth-shaped bruises, his whole body thrumming and the kind of sore he'll feel for days.

Jesus CHRIST that was a hot image. And so very, very Frank.

Frank thought he'd only fall in love once in his life. He was wrong.


MY HEART. BOYS. <3333

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I very much like the idea of Frank being the centre of attention to them all.

They are scruffy, dirty, lawless boys who love each other deeply!

[halfeatenmoon.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately the idea of Ray playing guitar on a sand dune makes me think of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert. But oh man, the Trans Am isn't a bus but Gerard could still sit on the roof in a dress and sing as they drive along.

LOVE the last 11 things one with Bob.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA! Omg! Now all I'm imagining is Ray in those outfits with the huge rings around the feet with the attached shoes and trousers.

Gerard would look very pretty on the Trans Am roof, his hair streaming behind him. Shame there would be no room for a shoe.

Thank you :)

[sillyfax.livejournal.com]

First reaction: Picture? Where'd picture come from and where do I find the rest of it?

The rest of you post made me purr with happy. Even if Killjoy!Frank makes me want to cry. Your character facts are way more fleshed out than I ever do them. They tell a story of their own.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I grabbed it from tumblr and it's from the sleeve of the box set they're selling. I really hope there is more.

Thank you! I really like Killjoy!Frank.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

What other way is there to spend autumn? I should feel bad, shouldn't I?

OMG, it turns out I have no soul.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You should not feel bad at all!

Let's face it. I have a small list of people I'd write that much for, and you're one of them for sure.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooys. So hot ass. And your snippets are so evocative.

I am being good and not ordering the box set (heee, I wrote box sex first) because I a) have self control and b) do not need a ray gun/mask/bracelet no matter how much I think I do. But booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooys.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Snippets are fun. I like when I can talk about stuff with not much effort.

Box sex fits. Yeah, I really don't need a ray gun/mask/bracelet either. But still I crave them. The things they do to us.

[kopperblaze.livejournal.com]

i ordered the box set as well. so ridiculous, i shouldn't be spending money! and the concert is coming up (read: i want to buy more merch there) XD but i had to have it! though once more ordered it to my home address. mail is arriving here for me, but just to be on the safe side :)

maybe i'll finally have time to read mr. bob today! so excited! and i miss writing, but i haven't had any time for it in a week. aaaaaaaaah.

what raygun/mask do you hope to have in your set? i reaaaaaaaally want the yellow or red one. blue would be fine too. but i don't like green. least favourite colour ever.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They put so much tempting stuff in front of us. It's ridiculous I want a ray gun and mask so badly but I so do.

Well, you're busy having a life and having fun, that's more important always.

I want the red ray gun because it's Mikey. I'm sad like that.

[pikasafire.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, if Mikey is on a motorbike, I will sponteneously combust with the utter HOTNESS of that mental image. In fact, I'm going to sit here and fantasise a little about that...

also, love love love the MCR Killjoys facts. Though, now you've made me want mooooooooooar!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I think he is! The evidence is pointing to it anyway!

I want to write more killjoys so badly.

[delphinapterus.livejournal.com]

Mikey has a motorbike helmet so therefore I think it's safe to assume he's connected to a motobike in some way. I like the idea it's his bike.

All of these 11 things are wonderful. Pete in Sugar 'verse is so sad and messed up. You need to fix him! *big eyes*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I want to see him on a motorbike so bad.

Poor Pete, he is messed up big time. I'd imagine he has a fantastic time with Mikey and then at the end he goes to give him some money and Mikey gets all offended and is all 'I wasn't here on a job' and then stalks off and Patrick would tell Pete he's a moron, but then Pete would text Mikey and say sorry and they'd swap texts and emails and start over.

Edited for wrong icon.

[themoononastick]

I can't decide if I should feel guilty about my inability to indulge your mistaken belief that stories about boys in cages can ever be anything other than epic, or proud of my enabling ways *g*

All these meme responses are wonderful. And I cannot get the idea of Bob/Lady Gaga out of my mind!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I think you should be proud, with the clause you could retract that when I start whining about how complicated the story is *g*

Bob/Lady Gaga would work beautifully I think!
