Hi! My journal is friends-only. All my fic posts and picspams are public. I'm not on LJ anymore but am keeping old fics public. Follow me on AO3 to see anything I write more recently.

A note on podfic: I love it! Please feel free to make it for my stories, if you are so inclined. I just ask that you let me know :D If you're interested in collaborating with me during the recording process, I would be excited to do it, but don't feel like you need to!

A note on sharing: Please do not share my works with the people I write about or their colleagues/family. I write for myself and this community, not for the real people who inform the characters in my stories (and I'm sure they don't want to see this!). Thank you for respecting that.

Notes: Written for bandombigbang 2011, wave two. The title is borrowed from The Eagles of Death Metal's song and album of the same name. My endless love and thanks go to anoneknewmoose and shiningartifact for devoting so much of their time to talking about and editing this story. Thank you for bearing with all its drafts, my late-night questions, and for wanting to help me make it the best it could be. I love you both a STUPID amount ♥ Also a big thanks to the mods for making this such an incredible challenge to be a part of!

Summary: From early days touring in vans to Projekt Revolution, the tour crew swears that they’re not homophobic, they just don’t want to see that shit. Frank takes it as a personal challenge.

"Okay," Cortez says on a Saturday night, sitting Frank and Gerard down on a picnic bench between the buses where some crew and band members are drinking from a keg. "Are you or are you not fucking?"

The guys around them laugh and Frank purses his lips to keep from smiling, looking to Gerard for an answer.

"A lady doesn't kiss and tell," Gerard finally says, making a kissy face. Frank notices that he's still got his sheriff's badge on; Mikey says it makes Gerard approximately 78% more gay.

"Yes she does," Bob says around the rim of his beer, "because her bandmates will make her sleep in the gear trailer if she's been having secret sex with her guitarist on our bus."

"If you can't tell whether we're having secret sex," Frank says, grabbing the beer Ray offers him and settling back against the bench, "then haven't you already proved that it doesn't matter?"

desfinado - This was written with invaluable support and input from shiningartifact - my absolute favourite podfic author, who I've been so fortunate to get to work with on this. It was such an honour to be get see the podfic planning and recording process for this; she puts so much care and attention into her work that it blows my mind, and I think it really shows. Also, major thanks to anoneknewmoose for a thorough beta that has made this story so much more than it was.

shiningartifact: This project was such a fascinating and fun experience. Thanks so much to the mods for their wonderful idea and all of the hard work that went into running this challenge! I'm beyond grateful to desfinado for all of the things that come out of her fabulous brain and for being so enthusiastic about our collaboration. She let me in on the brainstorming for the story, which was so much fucking fun, and was so supportive and helpful throughout the recording and editing process as well. It was a dream to work with her and I hope that I get to do it again soon.
