Adult Fear is now a disambig

* AdultFear: Absolute loads of it, considering that it is a supernatural-themed fic with fairly heavy horror elements.
** Frank's ''stigmata,'' and how it impacts both him and his friends. For Mikey, he gets to watch one of his best friends repeatedly wind up with injuries inflicted by invisible forces so bad that his back tattoos wind up shredded and nearly the entire room winds up covered in Frank's blood by the end of one instance of it, and for the rest of the group, the first instance of it that they see is so bad that they initially think it's a ''suicide attempt.''
*** Imagine how terrifying it must have been for everyone involved to arrive in their best friend's apartment after he was just put on leave from his job (especially when one friend was directly responsible for said leave) to find him bleeding out from his wrists on his bathroom floor. It takes a while for them to believe that it isn't a legitimate attempt on Frank's end, and for good reason.
** Frank's frequently cavalier attitude in regard to his own safety is this for the entire group, (and considering he lets [[spoiler:an extremely-unstable seventeen-year-old boy hold a gun to his head]] at one point in an effort to ensure his friends' safety at one point, the fear is certainly not an unfounded one.) It provokes an extremely large amount of conflict in the group as the series goes on, and culminates in [[spoiler:Gerard's (temporary) death at the concert after he decides to sacrifice himself in Frank's place, as he cares about him too much to allow him to die to stop the ritual just because he cares more about the group's lives then his own.]]
** After [[spoiler:Gerard]]'s death, [[spoiler:Mikey]] nearly completely breaks down over the thought of having to break the news of it to his mother, especially considering that she's far enough away from the group's location at the time that it's very likely that he'll be forced to do it over the phone as well. [[Main/BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor However,]] [[spoiler:[[Main/CameBackWrong it doesn't]] [[Main/DemonicPossession remain a problem]] [[Main/BackFromTheDead for very long...]]]]
** Gerard's [[spoiler:death, and subsequent demonic possession]], and how quickly it all manages to divide the group and nearly end with everyone dead. Also, the certainty that something is truly, deeply wrong with one of the people you know best in the entire world, but no one is willing to believe you about it. Poor Mikey.

This does lead to quite a bit of conflict with Gerard later on, who, being a priest and all, does believe pretty strongly in the majority of Catholic doctrine.

Added DiffLines:
* CassandraTruth: Mikey's warnings and concerns after [[spoiler:Gerard comes back from the dead and isn't acting like himself]] go completely unheeded, leading to complete disaster and the near-deaths of almost everyone in the group. Though the [[spoiler:MoreThanMindControl]] that Frank was going through at the hands of [[spoiler:a demonically-possessed Gerard]] certainly wasn't helping matters either.
* ConfessInConfidence: One of these is what helped to spark the events that eventually ended in Gerard being made to leave his original position within the Church.
* CrucifiedHeroShot: Frank's ''stigmata'' seems to be attempting to force him to wind up like this, with the wounds and injuries he receives throughout the first story being directly related to the ones Jesus received on the cross, down to the poles through the wrists. Taken to its natural conclusion by the end of the third story, where his desperate attempt to [[spoiler:save Gerard from demonic possession]] ends in all of his ''stigmata'' injuries returning at once.

* Main/{{Gayngst}}: Gerard does have a bit of this, as even though he is willing to disagree with certain parts of Catholic doctrine, the common belief within his religion is still that pursuing his sexuality in any way would land him in Hell, which is a bit hard to ignore.

* GuiltComplex: Practically every member of the group has one, though it's most prominent when it comes to Gerard, who will happily take the blame for the majority of problems that might arise, even if they are most definitely not his fault.
Added DiffLines:
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Gerard makes one of these near the end of the second story, both in order to protect the people at the Fall Out Boy concert who are at risk of being killed by the necromancy ritual being performed, and to prevent Frank from doing it instead.]] [[Main/BackFromTheDead He does come back, though.]]
Added DiffLines:
* MartyrWithoutACause: Frank's tendency to put himself in harm's way in order to protect his friends or innocents leads to him being pegged as this quite frequently.
