8	!!This work contains examples of:
9
10	* BlatantLies: Not that Patrick's aware of it when he says it, but [[spoiler: there's definitely an killer-adult contingent in town.]]
11	-->'''Patrick''': Anyway, besides the occasional escape attempt by [=McEwan=]'s cattle, there's really nothing that exciting about the townfolk, promise. No serial killers or Satanists or anything.
12	%%* EmoTeen: ...there might be a few.
13	%%* {{Gayngst}}: Which is replaced later on by {{Gayngst}}, ghost edition.
14	%%* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: Gerard towards Frank. It gets less and less convincing as time wears on, and is completely subverted by the end of the fic.
15	%%* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Ted Sikowski, of all people.]]
16	* HighSchoolAU: Gerard is in his last year of High School, and Frank died in his last year.
17	* MayDecemberRomance / MayflyDecemberRomance: Frank is significantly (ten years, approximately) older than Gerard, though with the appearance of being the same age. Being a ghost his "life"span is implied to be much longer than that of a human.
18	%%* OurGhostsAreDifferent: They can even smoke.
19	* LateArrivalSpoiler: Yeah, this is the fic where Frank Iero is a ghost love interest for Gerard Way. Moving on.
20	%%* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The guys Gerard ends up hanging out with at his new school.
21	* TheReveal: It takes a while for Gee to figure out that Frankie isn't exactly a normal High School Student
22	* SadistTeacher: Gym teacher Mark Sikowski really, really doesn't like Gerard, and really, really didn't like Frank either. Gerards attitudes toward many of the other teachers are also generally unsympathetic.
23	* ShipTease: Gerard mentions, in passing, spending a lot of time keeping his friend Pete (Wentz) from trying to pounce on his other friend, Patrick (Stump), in the hospital.
24	%%* ShoutOut: To a ton of famous comic books/graphic novels, in passing.
25	%%* SlashFic
26	* StalkerWithACrush: Ryan Ross. A rare, helpful variant in that [[spoiler: he realizes Gerard's gone missing before most of his friends.]]
27	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: There appears to be no non-bigoted, non-hate-crime-committing [[spoiler: (or murdering)]] parents in the general area, so it makes sense that the teenagers in Gerard's new hometown would be just as bigoted and violent. [[spoiler: Turns out Mark Sikowski is also an example, as he murdered Frank in his youth.]]
