    Summary

    Nurse Iero is a fuckup. What else is new? But this fuckup deserves a special kind of punishment. And maybe in Ravencolm Hospital, servicing the prisoners in the adjoining penitentiary, he might find purpose again, maybe even peace. Turns out that's pretty fucking hard to do with a coworker like Gerard, with his inexplicable need to dress the way he does, and treat Frank like human flotsam. The rest of the town's creepy-ass denizens aren't helping, or the fact that it's in the middle of nowhere, without even a proper grocery store. Or maybe Frank just deserves to go through hell.

    Summary

    Illi McMillin took her art school education and got herself a nice cozy secretary job, one that paid her just enough to afford a shitty two-bedroom apartment in the city with her brother, and she wasn’t happy, per se, but she was settled, and that was enough. Who needed more than that, anyways?

    Then Frank Iero waltzed back into her life, and he was just as lovely as he was when she ran away from the whatever-it-was they had in high school, and that was a big problem for her and her spinster-at-twenty-three way of life. What’s a poor girl to do?
    Fall back in love, probably.

    In which Illi battles with her self-destructive habits, Frank plays at least one Smashing Pumpkins song, Mikey is a meddling, conniving little brother, and Ray just wants everyone to get along again.

    Summary

    Ray raised the paper towel, gingerly touching Illi's face and wiping off the blood off her lips and chin. Then she grabbed another paper towel and gave it to Illi to put in her nostril so it would stop bleeding.

    “Are you hurt anywhere else?” She asked, watching Illi lean against the sink and sigh.

    “No, I’m not bleeding anywhere else.” She spoke softly.

    ---

    Both Illi and Ray are trans, one is out and one is not, they become friends anyways.

    Summary

    “Question. What do you want to see? You still haven't told me what this is about.” Mikey said, as he put his feet up on his desk while his brother continued to mess with the wig in front of the mirror that was forcefully attached to all the dresser doors in every dorm. “Does it have something to do with Ray?”

    “Ray is not my boyfriend, we've been over this.” Gerard said, rolling his eyes in the mirror.

    “So you say.” Mikey muttered, picking up the spiderman comic he'd been reading.

    ---

    or: It's 2006, in a boarding school, with people who are convinced Ray and Gerard are gay. Gerard has other issues to worry about, like how he liked wearing a long-haired wig just a bit too much.

    Summary

    “We could,” Gerard begins, then frowns, looking slightly embarrassed. “Look, I just think – alright, I just got paid. We could use it to buy a house for cheap, flip it, and sell it. Or, like, I mean, I know you’re not gonna want – I just mean, we could find a deal and split it, but since I just got paid, it’s a good time. If it’s a good time for you. I think it is, though, I mean, you talk shit about your job all the time. Not the point, though, just – do you want to try?”

    Frank doesn’t know how to respond for a moment. The surprise of Gerard delivering an at least halfway formed plan in the same conversation as it’s introduced is enough that it renders him nearly speechless, and he says, “Wait – fucking. What?”
