Summary
It’s 2011 and Frank Iero’s life is pretty average until the night where he starts getting dreams about a strange, apocalyptic California where there’s rayguns, grey corporations and terrorists who use art and colour as a weapon. Interesting and fun at first, but the more he dreams about this world, the more he starts to wonder if it really is a dream... and the deeper he gets into this futuristic world, the more it seems to affect his life in the present day.
And just how exactly does everything all seem to link in with that douchebag black-haired artist who sits in Starbucks every day?
(Set in the Danger Days world but not necessarily following the canon established by the album and music video's.)

Summary
Gerard Way has a system: a system for managing his life as a city architect, a system for being a single man living in a house in Jersey he still thinks of as his grandmother's and not his own, a system for finding one of the four solo seats in each car on the train into Manhattan every morning. He likes his system. It works.
His system derails when Frank Iero sits across from him on the 7:59 Midtown Direct one sunny morning in May.
A love story, one train ride at a time.

Summary
Last year, Frank was living his punk-rock stoner dreams; traveling the country, playing shows night after night with his favorite band. As most good things go though, it doesn’t seem to last. When the band dramatically implodes on the last leg of their first tour, Frank is left to flounder back in New Jersey.
After a long period of radio silence, Frank notices ex-frontman Gerard trailing him at a house party, looking worse for the wear. Withdrawals can be ugly, but this is different. This is… strange.
