if you can't see it you're blind

So last week I read The Old Straight Track by jjtaylor, in which Frank is a ghost and Gerard is his apartment's next occupant. There are hauntings and seances and metaphors and pining. Highly recommended, though beware the abrupt ending (she's working on the sequel :DDDD).

I love that fic, man.

Also, it was jjtaylor's birthday last week! So I drew this:

Done while watching Life On The Murder Scene for the first time in months. Frank's tattoos were so fun to draw that I kind of forgot he probably wouldn't have all of them. *g* Also I think Gerard's maybe a bit lanky? But what the heck. Frank and his ghostly longing! Plus, any excuse to draw arting!Gerard . . .

All I have done this weekend is sit on my bed and draw MCR. (Well, practically.) I suppose I shouldn't do that.

Also, I have developed a stupid craving for obscenely sugary cereal (something I pretty much never eat). Damn you, Gerard Way! Pegwarming. I will never get tired of this fandom.

(This week I keep getting intrusive, personal IMs from people whose SNs I do not recognize. WTF?)

you've got some html fail there, my friend.

but oh man, i've just developed a "lalala timeline, what timeline!" attitude to bandom tattoos. it's more fun that way, really.

Could not figure out what I'd done to the coding. Turned out I'd misspelled my own file name. /o\

I think you're quite right about that; once I started, I didn't want to stop. *g*

haha, i've do it.

i haven't read the fic yet, but oh man, frank's expression is just killing me. he looks so wistful and ghosty ;_;

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's what I was trying for; that's certainly one of the main reactions the fic left me with. ;_;

Ooooh *___*

I was going to wait until the second story to read both back-to-back, but oh God so tempted D: Everyone keeps saying there's pining! Your pic has pining! I'm only so strong. :(

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Well, it depends how much pining you can take! (There's the pining in the fic . . . and then there's pining for more fic. *g*)

This is lovely! I love the way Frank looks at Gerard and his ghostly hands. And Gerard's skull-and-crossbone pajama pants!

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :D (I totally want those pajamas, now.)
