    Summary

    “Tell me,” he insists. “You know I wanna hear it, baby.”

    It makes Frank’s face burn, the honey in Gerard’s tone and the embarrassment of having to voice what he wants instead of just jumping headfirst into it, but then the words simply tumble out of his mouth.

    “Hold me down and fuck my face. Choke me, use me, cover me in spit and come—I want all of it, all over me.”

    Summary

    All his life Frank has been struggling; struggling with his constantly sick body, struggling to find his place in this world, struggling because he is so goddamn misunderstood by absolutely everyone.

    Only when he runs into a handsome stranger backstage at a show does Frank begin to feel like someone might actually get him. Because Gerard seems to have struggles of his own.

    It's just that some people struggle with more supernatural issues than others.

    Summary

    “Maybe we should have a truce.”

    Gerard laughs, a real one, and Frank feels a queasiness that he can’t attribute to anything concrete. “What are we, five? You act like we were Montagues and Capulets. It’s fine, we can try to be friends.”

    “Cool.” Frank pauses. “By the way, about the call earlier – Geoff wouldn’t let me fire you. But, like, I hope that can turn out to be a good thing. As much as I hate to admit it…”

    He trails off. Gerard raises his eyebrows. “Yes?”

    “God, I don’t want to say it. But I guess it’s objectively true that working with you would probably make my book better.”

    Gerard laughs again. “It sure as hell can’t make it worse. I did read your manuscript, it’s awful.”

    “Hey, okay. I thought we called a truce.”

    “For now,” Gerard says lightly.

    Summary

    “Does that matter right now? I’m – fucking dead, man. I wanted to do so much shit with my life before I died!”

    “You still can,” the guy said. “Like, nothing’s stopping you.”

    Gerard leapt to his feet, aghast at how casually he was treating his death. That wasn’t very good manners. “Except being dead.”

    “What did you want? Fucking ballet dancing at your funeral? Get over it, we all did.”
