TAH DAH! Here is the fic I wrote for the wonderful Lucefuge_5 in last year's stuffsit challenge. Man, this fic came out HARD. It didn't want to come, but I knew it was in there somewhere. I'm so glad it got such a good response from Luce and she enjoyed it. I really wanted to give my recipient the best work I could - hence no less than FOUR betas.
Title: Mikey Way and the Quest for the Stone Author:roxy_palace Pairing(s): Mikey Way/Frank Iero Rating: NC 17 Warnings: Some potty talk, mock violence, guns, people shooting at Mikey, jokes about drug running, drug use and drug related violence, handle bar moustaches, death defying feats and Mikey Way’s faily Kung Fu. Word count: 28, 656 Summary:“I’m in Colombia!” Mikey said, raising his voice over the crackle of a poor connection. “No. no, no, no, no,” James wailed. Mikey could really relate to his disbelief. He couldn't believe he was in mother fucking Colombia either.
A/N: This fic is based very loosely on Romancing the Stone a really wonderful 80s, post-modern Rom-Com staring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. There are also nods to Indiana Jones and the Goonies. The 80s were another country, dude. It was also inspired by a Tweet by one Iero, Frank A, regarding his daughter seeing a resemblance between him and Harrison Ford. Be flattered, Frank. You really are a hero. Also, a nod to Stephen King for supplying Mikey with the best Twilight smack down of all time.
Immeasurable thanks to my betas, anna_unfolding , mizubyte , alasse and greedy_dancer who made this story what it is. You read it over and over, and you put up with my freak outs, your hand holding and care was pretty awesome. I want to give some special thanks to Anners for coming to my aid in the depths of the night when I needed her most, even though it was tough for us both. Turned out okay, huh kid? ;)
Finally, huge thanks to the mods for running the exchange. Your hard work made the whole thing go so smoothly. It made it fun.
It's 1:00 AM on a school night, and even though I'm sure I'll hate myself later for not going to bed, I don't think I'll regret it. This fucking gives me hope, and I don't even know. I'm seriously…
This was absolutely heart warming and beautiful. I'd like to say that you capped Gerard as genderqueer perfectly. (Being genderqueer myself) Can I say that you got everything right? And that there's…
