Title: Draculoids Will Never Hurt You
Author:

anatratrope)
Band(s): MCR, MSI, and various MCR wives and members of other bands
Pairing(s): Frank/Gerard, Mikey/Ray/Show Pony, various minor/background/past pairings
Word Count: 99k
Rating: NC-17.
Warnings: No standardized warnings apply, but the story does contain (highlight to read) skip) portrayal of drug addiction; offscreen violence involving a child; and serious injury and death to some minor characters.

Summary: Gerard hates his job in the art department at BLI. The only good part of his day is hanging with the smokers downstairs, especially Frank, who shares Gerard’s frustration and rebellion against the corporate norms. But when Frank is fired, Gerard quits his job too, and with Mikey’s and Ray’s help, sets off to find Frank, irritate Korse, and turn art into revolution.

This is an origin story, tracing the lives of the Fabulous Killjoys from their ordinary office jobs to their desert showdown against Korse and the draculoids, as shown in the Na na na video. We started writing it a week after the first Danger Days trailer video came out, thinking it would be about ten thousand words, and it got a little out of hand. Um, sorry?

Thanks also to...

Our enormous army of betas and cheerleaders. So many people have stepped up to have a shot at it over the past (holy wtf) 9 months that we're sure we'll miss some when we try to list them. Thank you especially to

isweedan, who left detailed and insightful comments through the whole fic and really kicked us to make this story better. Thanks also to

chagrined,

epershand,

fairestcat,

green,

jjtaylor,

marina,

oliviacirce,

roga,

synecdochic, and

themeletor, who've variously spent hours with us in IM, left feedback on our doc, helped us research, proofread, and kicked our asses and gave us support and encouragement when we needed it. Every single one of you helped us immensely with getting this fic out at last, and we couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks also to everyone who cheerled this fic and kept us excited and committed to finishing it over these last several months--you all know who you are.

We also want to thank the

bandombigbang mods for running the challenge!

Of course, any remaining mistakes are our own.

I signed up for Kink Bingo! Here is my card:

I have a lot of roleplaying on my card! Some of these are very exciting, with ideas already percolating, some will be challenging for me to write, but I am so excited for this. Due to writers' block, I am aiming to just finish a bingo this time around, and if that happens I can upgrade myself to more ambitious goals, though I'll admit: it's hard not to start thinking about double-line bingos and the very tasty and tempting postage stamp opportunities offered by that upper right-hand corner.

I'm really excited about the opportunities this challenge presents for writing in obscure fandoms and unusual-for-me pairings. I'm multifannish but I always end up back with John/Rodney for reading fic, and now that I'm actually trying to convince myself to <i>write</i> fic, I'm jazzed about pushing beyond that default fandom.

Hooray! Yay kink bingo! Thanks, mods!

This is a by-no-means-complete list of my very favorite fics. For the ones that I listened to in podfic form, I've included links to the audiofic archive

, courtesy of

general_jinjur . I'm sure others of these have podfics, but to save my sanity I'm only linking to the ones I have personally listened to and enjoyed. Most of these contain very explicit homosexual sex, and they are all SGA unless otherwise noted.

"always should be someone you really love" by

thingswithwings (Why has nobody podficced this yet?? It is in my top 5 favorite fics ever!) Also worth reading is the DVD commentary by the author, especially if you love meta and queer theory.

Merlin fic:

New fandom, and so far I only have a few very favorites.

Anything by

linaerys is gold. I particularly like the Arthurian legend-infused ones, "A Beast in Winter", "Springtime Promises" and "A Year and a Day"

"MERLIN" by

moonythestrals is AU cracky goodness. Arthur is a frat boy. Nuff said.

"Exit Music (For a witch)" vid by

heyiya . SO GOOD. It fixes the show's glaring problem with magical women.

If you have a chance, check out
