Warnings: Canon fuckery - this is an AU which borrows heavily from canon, but it's still an AU.
Summary:
"You and me, right Mikes?"

"Yeah, fuck everybody else."

Best friends since high school, if Frank could've chosen a brother, he'd pick Mikey. Then Mikey became a rock star and Frank... didn't. After years of radio silence, Mikey steps onto a stage in Jersey and back into Frank's life.

(Or, the one where Frank is a school teacher and Mikey plays rhythm in The Used.)

A/N: This story owes a lot to a lot of people. To anoneknewmoose for stellar beta and making sure I knew it was worth posting. To mizubyte for straightening out my canon fuckups (she drew me a diagram of the Starland Ballroom, you guys!) and being generally brilliant. To jenepel and silly_cleo the most awesome Nano gurus without whom this story wouldn't even have been finished, and to turps33, kopperblaze, cee_m and my entire twitter feed for continually reassuring me that there were people out there who actually wanted to read this ridiculous story. Lastly, to the awesome bandombigbang mods for running the challenge beautifully and being super helpful and amazing.

Ten Drabbles Ficlets I wrote for The Masochist Meme. Some of them technically aren't Drabbles as they went a few hundred words over 1000. Actually none of them are Drabbles, as not one is exactly 100 words. (Thank you Wikipedia) So let's call them ficlets. But hey, who's in it for the technicalities anyway?


( Gerard wants a threesome )

( Bob's bunk gets invaded by a flailing midget )
