Pairing: Gerard Way & Frank Iero
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Homosexual sex, language
Disclaimer: This never happened...it's 100% made up. I do not own Gerard Way or Frank Iero, as much as I wish I did.
Beta: happilyappled
Summary: A series of one-shots about Frank and Gerard's sexual tension with each other while on tour.

Title: TELL ME WHERE’S YOUR HIDING PLACE (standalone, Tom/William, R)
Author: b a m b y
Rating: R
Pairing: Tom Conrad/William Beckett
POV: 3rd
Disclaimer: not mine, only the plot, don’t sue and I will love you
Summary: the year Tom Conrad became a freshman in college, was the year he finally can be saved from the Monster from his past. William Beckett, was his savior. And also, his lover.
Warnings: past sexual-abuse, asshole!Gabe
Author Notes: about 5, 600 words. Kind of Christmas fic because the climax of this story is at the Christmas’s Eve. Unbeta’d so I’m sorry because English isn’t my mothertongue. I just want to post this story heheh. Comment? And maybe if you notice, I’m so freaking interested in rare-pairing, like… Tom/William, Tom/Spencer, Gabe/William, Ryan Ross/Edward Cullen—because they’re not cliché and writing them feels… different, I guess. LOL. Right, shut up now. COMMENTS, PLEASE. Thank you. Title from Cornerstone - Arctic Monkeys, and wow, Alex Turner/Ryan Ross seems like a good idea for a pairing, right?


“Tom, hey, why you never look at me when we talk?” William asks quietly, almost sadly even. He knows boundaries. Tom likes it, especially when William adds, “I’m okay with no answer, though. I’m sorry for asking.”

Title: Shades of black or Gerard the littlest vampire
Author: alles_luege 
Pairing: Frank/Gerard, but also Frank/OC's, Frank/Mikey
Rating: R
Summary: Frank's life sucks and he is only eight! Then one cold winter evening he meets Gerard and things start to look up, but what Frank doesn't know is that the little boy is a vampire. And with Frank growing up and Gerard not their problems just begin.
A tale about a childhood love that can never be. (Or you know, until magic happens.)
Warning(s): kissing, sex, vampires, mentions of violence
Author’s Notes: Important! This is based on theopteryx 's and shoemaster 's not!fic. I asked if I could write it, they said yes. (So please don't say anything about stealing or plagiarism to me.) I could not fit everything in this story I wanted, so there will be a sequel and I'm working on a piece that tells us about Gerard's past. Even if I tried to tell their story, it still is mine. Everything you don't recognize belongs to me. Also, I used like four sentences 1:1. I did not mark them, but I don't want to take credit for them. Last story from the Advent-calendar.

Holiday debuggery

We know there were a few kinks with the holiday promotion. We've been working very hard to get them ironed out. If you have a paid/permanent account, keep on sending those coupons. Here's an update:

• If you were unable to send out multiple coupons at a time, please perform a hard refresh, and you should be good to go.
• If you redeemed a coupon to upgrade your account and the balance at checkout was $0 instead of $9.95 or $15, this means your upgrade did not go through (nor were you charged). We've straightened this out, so you can now apply your holiday coupon toward the purchase of an annual paid account.
• If you tried to redeem a holiday coupon and had trouble using a gift certificate to cover the balance of an annual paid account, we identified the root problem. If this happened to you, you can now use your holiday coupon together with your gift certificate.
• If the number of holiday coupons you have available suddenly goes up (instead of down), this might be due to recipients declining the coupons, at which point your pool of available coupons will be replenished and, therefore, increase.
• If you need assistance with holiday coupons or pretty much anything else (well, LiveJournal related), please open a support request and we'll be more than happy to help!

Tweaks

• There were some initial glitches displaying results on My Guests, but we've worked them out. We hope you'll check out who's been checking you out!
• Some of you reported formatting issues using the Rich Text Editor (i.e., line breaks were being removed incorrectly). We've implemented a fix! Thanks so much for your patience.

Give a little extra!

We're pleased to report that we've already sold over 100 virtual red ribbons in honor of National AIDS Awareness month. Remember, for each charitable vgift you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to fund the development of an HIV vaccine. Once again, we thank you for your generosity.

Celebrate with holiday vGifts!

Stop by the Virtual Gift Shop and share some holiday magic with your LiveJournal friends.

Title: Mistake Number Two
Author: torturedbarbie
Pairing: Gerard/Frank
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After all this time, six years, Frank can take Gerard's persistence to peruse his dream career a state over, all on his own. What he can't handle is the cold shoulder from Gerard, and the idea that he's cheating with his new manager, Brian.
Disclaimer:Its my idea, yes. But I don't own the characters.
Warnings: Language.
Author Notes: So maybe I should have executed this second spin off when everything was still fresh in my mind... but I get too excited about my ideas, and I don't have an excellent memory to begin with. So better late than never, right? Spin off of the original: Novacaine For The Soul, and the sequel: The World Doesn't Stop For You. Here is the third and final installment unless I think of something creative for one of the supporting couples, but lets face it... this might be a little played out. I do hope you enjoy though, since it was sort of fun to re-read and write this. Its really long [26 word pages with very small margins and font size], but hopefully you'll enjoy it. The end, at least.

This will take you to the search landing page where you can further refine by Entries, Comments, People & communities, and FAQs. You can also access the search page directly.
2. Whitelisting: We've released a new option to help you moderate your busy communities more efficiently. If an entry contains a link to a whitelisted (i.e., trusted) site, it will be posted automatically without need for moderator approval.

To access this option, please visit settings for any community you maintain and select the third option in the Community Moderation box (located in the lower left-hand corner). Click the enable link to custom-edit your community's whitelist, which has been prepopulated with trusted domains. You can manually add or delete URLs in the text box.
