"Run" - Frank/Gerard, My Chemical Romance (bandom), NC-17 - Master Post

[mrsronweasley]

Title: "Run"
Fandom: My Chemical Romance
Pairing: Frank/Gerard
Word Count: ~63,200
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: None
Summary: Being a secret teenage werewolf is hard. Frank should know. He is one. (written for werewolfbigbang)
Notes: I have no idea how I could have ever done this without three special ladies. Oh my God, where to even START? *flaps hands* This monster required a LOT of hand-holding, and I had the best cheerleaders and betas in the WORLD.

brooklinegirl encouraged this thing from the very start, even though werewolves were SO not her thing, and she not only kept me from quitting, time and time (and time) again, but also let me be crazy at her IRL, FOR MONTHS ON END, betaed the shit out of it more than once (and nearly made me weep in the process), and poured an incredible amount of love and was support into it right up until the end. She is forever my favorite. Thank you so so much, baby. ♥

philosiraptors was SUCH a rock star, omg, I can’t even begin to describe it. She helped plot this monster out from the very very start, she carried me through a lot of crazy over the course of writing it, was a HUGE help with, basically, every aspect of this fic. Like. Amazingly so. She was also an incredible cheerleader throughout and gave me the funniest (and wonderful) beta notes in existence. Everybody should have a B-Rex. ♥

Finally, shiningartifact was the absolute BEST, most sweetest cheerleader a girl could ask for. Even getting this thing in chunks, she believed in it the entire time and wouldn’t let me quit, even when I was a horrible whiny mess all over her. Her support has meant the world to me, and I could NOT have done this without her. ♥

ALSO, a HUGE thank you for all the werewolfbigbang mods for the incredible job they did, and being SO supportive throughout! You guys are my favorite. ♥

Any remaining mistakes are purely of my own making.

[whittakers-end.livejournal.com]

Haven't started yet but wanted to say that I know I'll love it given you wrote it - I'm opening all the parts now to get me through the LiveJournal maintenance period...

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Awwwww, thank you so much, that is incredibly sweet! :D

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you so, so much! I'm so glad you liked it! :DDDD

I don't know what to write. Sometimes you like something so much, you can't even really explain why. It's just-- you write them so well, especially Frank, and the sex scenes are so hot, but also very meaningful and, and. It was just brilliant. There's no other word.

Thank you for writing this fic. You can totally write more. I won't stop you.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you so much! This made me beam like a crazy person. :D

[ladyfoxxx.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH STILL HAVEN'T READ IT AND IT'S KILLING ME.

KILLING MEEEEEE.

BUT, I am making it into a PDF RIGHT NOW OMG. GOING STRAIGHT TO THE KINDLE. THE KINDLE OF PORN. BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL BE EPIC AND MOST AWESOME AND WORTHY OF THE PORN KINDLE. (OMG, Copying and pasting it into a doc was TORTURE and I had to STEEL MYSELF not to read forward because OMG OMG OMG. Sorry, I'll stop prattling. But MY EXCITEMENT. IS INTENSE. THIS IS WHAT I AM USING THE HALF HOUR OF FREE WIFI AT SINGAPORE AIRPORT FOR AND IT WILL BE SO WORTH IT TO HAVE IT ON MY FLIGHT HOME OMG.)

I can't believe how much writing there is in this comment with NO ACTUAL CONTENT. /o\ I'M SORRY. I AM EXCITE. EEEEE....

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOL *DYING* THIS IS THE GREATEST COMMENT OF ALL TIME. ILU SO HARD.

Uhm. I hope you enjoy it! ♥♥♥♥♥

[defect-no9.livejournal.com]

I am SO LATE leaving you a comment. Words cannot describe how I feel about this story. I really should just go back and leave you proper comments for each chapter. Which I will eventually get to. :) For now, just know that your story is very special to me, because I don't even LIKE werewolf fics. I KNOW RIGHT? I AM A COMPLETE MORON. I really loved the descriptions of the experiences Frank is going through. That's kind of vague, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. Again, I will leave you lovings on the individual chapters. :D OH!! One more thing; Do you know the song "Howl" from Florence+The Machine? IT'S PERFECT FOR THIS STORY. Here is a link to it in case you haven't heard it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucFHDxhCVwE

I think it was in the adds for "Being Human" but the first time I heard the song was while I was reading your story actually. I just downloaded her CD. Weird, and AWESOME that it happened to play during your story. I love this story, and can't help but hope for more in this 'verse. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME LIKE WEREWOLVES. ♥

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, wow! Thank you SO MUCH, what a lovely comment to get! :DDDDDD I'm so glad you gave it a chance despite not liking werewolves, and that you loved it so much. And, funny you should mention that song, because it was, in fact, the song I listened to MOST when writing it. I almost titled it after a line in it! Great minds. :) I looooooooove Florence, and between this song and "Cosmic Lungs" I was very much ~~inspired. Or something. In any case, thank you SO much for such lovely feedback! \o/

[lea-ndra.livejournal.com]

hi there! just wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved your fic! I had so much fun reading it - you're still the absolute master of teenage werewolf fic, no matter what fandom!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

HEY! Is that you??? HEY! And wow, thank you! Did I know you're in bandom? You've been in bandom longer than I have, haven't you? :P Hiiiiiii! :D

[xx-vintagerose.livejournal.com]

I am about to read this! And I am both happy and apprehensive!
I've never read a werewolf story, and that is why the apprehension.
But! I'm happy, because this came VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, from people that I trust with bandom recs, and I like nothing more than when my preconceptions about plots are shattered by awesome execution (like, the unholyverse, I refused to read for ages because priest!Gerard was weird to me but then it was AWESOME).
This is a pointless comment but I thought I'd let you know, so that when I probably leave happily flailing comments on every part you'll understand that I DON'T LIKE FANTASY FIC VERY MUCH.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Awww, well, I really hope you enjoy(ed) it! :D

[lobsterclaaaws.livejournal.com]

ksdhgkhj. I keep re-reading this and it KEEPS BEING AWESOME. I also keep secretly hoping for some sort of sequel where we see how Frank and the boys cope with a werewolf on tour, and whether it's confirmed or denied that Frank ~mates for life~ and if or when Gerard ever hangs out with Frank while he's a wolf (and if so, what happens). I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND THOUGHTS AND IT'S LOVELY BECAUSE THIS IS STILL AND FOREVER AMAZING.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I am SO GLAD it lives up in re-readings! I always worry about that, like, when the shine wears off or whatever, is it still fun? So I'm glad that it IS! And I won't say anything about a sequel. Writing's been a real struggle recently, but SOMETHING is in the works. If it ever makes it out. WE SHALL SEE. :P

[frankie-bb.livejournal.com]

Just finished reading all of this and just wow. I'm not sure I can contain myself from the sheer sexyness of this fic. Plus your writing it so good! A-fucking-mazing!

Hi I first found this fanfic a couple years ago and it literally changed my life.. like no joke. It was one of the first fanfics that I took seriously while reading it and it's soooo amazing. I have read it like 10 times and I love it every single time. I'm revisiting it now after a while and I'm still in love.
