I'm adding this to my mems so I can read over the weekend :D SOUNDS AMAZING!

Wow - I thoroughly enjoyed this! Wibbly wobbly timey wimey bits and hot hot hot sex -- what's not to love? Seriously, your characterizations are amazing and the plotting for this is really engaging - beautifully done!

I read the summary for this during mixer/artist claiming and my brain kind of shorted out just from trying to wrap my mind around Frank/Frank and Frank/Frank/Gerard. Now it's shorting out again because you're the one who wrote it and you're an epically amazing author so it's most likely going to be fantastically brilliant.

I shall place it in my memories to save for when i'm not horribly busy with everything in my lame-o life. =D

This is...um. I don't even have words, haha!


This is definitely one of the best fics I've read in awhile. I love the way you paid attention to tiny details that make it feel so real and fleshed out. I also am insanely jealous of Gerard at the end, because seriously? TWO of Frank? 98wyt8943htbg,adsglj I AM SRSLY SO JELLY RIGHT NOW :|


Anyway, I read the whole thing in one sitting a few days ago, and came back to re-read and decided that I just HAD to comment and tell you how much I loved this and that it's definitely a new favorite of mine!


If I had a big box full of win I would be handing it to you right now :)

You there. With the talent. I have things to say to you.

So, I read your notes in your announcement post where you said you really just wanted to write Frank/Frank/Gerard and then it ballooned into THIS. WELL DONE ON THAT, GOAL ACHIEVED YOU NOW OWN THREESOMES.

But what you did in addition to that is write a story that is accessible to people without any knowledge of the Killjoys 'verse. Through X-Men the movie commentary I learned about the method of using a narrative character (Wolverine) who knew as little about the 'verse he was in as the audience did in order to introduce them to it. I don't know if you intentionally used Frank like that considering your Porn!Goal, but he proved to be a great guide into this world. But before he went forward in time, you gave such a strong sense of who MCR are that as someone who doesn't follow them and who is only positive of what Gerard and Frank look like, I left the story with a strong picture of all of them--not only their looks but also their traits.

For me, reading this definitely crossed lines because I generally don't care for end-of-the-world scenarios where everything is uncertain, and having this on my Kindle for so long, I didn't realize that was what I was heading into, so I admit to a little bit of hesitation as it reached that part where Frank was pulled forward and the Dracs came after them, but because it's you and I had already loved the beginning, I kept going. There were some difficult moments, but never so traumatic that I had to think I was soldiering through. :) All in all, this was an amazing, heartbreaking, triumphant, sexy, action-packed adrenaline rush, and if I knew anyone who wasn't in Bandom fandom, which I think has stolen all of my friends, I would recommend it to them.

One final thought--you know you're legend in my mind for your sex scenes, but the way you wrote the onstage scenes in the beginning, especially the parts centered on the music playing, was just as detailed and vivid as the scenes you're infamous for. Those onstage scenes absolutely came alive. It was almost breathtaking to see your talent in action. Maybe performing is like sex, in terms of adrenaline and fun, so maybe that's what you're great at portraying and you could do that amazingly whatever the action is. (Try race car driving! Bet you could make me like it!)
