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.]] |
