The Man I Know I'm Not [Frerard] (Sequel To Tell Me I'm A Bad Man)

Your Questions: Answered

Okay so there were loads of questions, most of which were repeated, and I tried to answer them all but I may have missed a few, sorry!!

What happened to Brendon/does Brendon end up with Dallon/was the person Brendon was with Dallon?

Yes, Brendon and Dallon got together about two and a half years after Ryan died

I'd like to think that Brendon and [partner] adopted a little baby boy to raise and named him after Ryan

Oh my god yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea

Will Gee and Bert stay happy/do Gee and Bert work out?

Yep; they both get clean and sober and stop doing stupid shit and it's for good. And then they raise a dog or a cat or whatever, chickens maybe, and do whatever you want them to do (except break up, that's not on the cards I'm afraid)

Where did Frank end up/will Frank stay single/does he get with Bob in the end?

Very good question, doing this whole Q&A thing seems like a bad idea now aha

Seriously though, uh, my intentions were for Frank to stay single for the most part, and yeah, he could meet Bob in a couple more years when he's a little less bitter and he's like wow okay yea we could do this, or something like that. I'd like to think he'd be happy with Bob tbh

What happened to Ray and Mikey?

They got married, lived happily ever after, and idk, adopted a ferret

What did Frank become at the end? Like career, job-wise kind of thing

Uhhhhhh wow I never really thought about that...okay okay - now I'm going to be annoying and say 'make it up'; if you envision him as a guitarist screaming in a band called Pencey Prep and writing lyrics about a man named Bert that stole his boyfriend, then go for it. If you think he'd be better off in a humble music store, then that's also cool :)

If it was up to me, I'd say that he'd be a police officer, and then one day he arrests a teacher for sleeping with his student

Do Frank and Brendon ever hook up/does Frank get with Brendon?

Come to think of it, yes. After Ryan died but before Brendon got with Dallon; you can decide the specifics ;)

Why does Gee still like Bert when he was legit abusive in TMIABM/did Gee ever actually love Frank?

It's complicated; you could say that Bert was acting out because technically Frank stole his boyfriend, and he's not quite...stable, anyway. Bert's a nice guy underneath - he sees from the start that what Gerard and Frank have is purely physical, and even though Frank falls in love, Gerard never really quite gets there - his heart is still with Bert, for some reason. Bert just did some stupid things which he regretted in the end, and marrying Gerard gave him a lifetime to make it up to him

What happens with Frank?

Dammit Kristine I'm shortening your question:') he finds Bob, no he doesn't get run over by a car, no he doesn't kill himself, yes he gets a nice-paying job

Will you marry me?

Maybe ;)

Did they ever talk again?

I'm guessing you mean Frank and Gerard - and yeah, all the time. They become really close friends once things are sorted out

Why aren't there any possums?

Because, my dear, this was written before WCR

Do Mikey and Ray have babies?

Not literally, because then that would be mpreg, but yes they do

What's Gee's wedding like? Does he wear a dress?

It's...wedding-y - idk, I suck at weddings :') I would say he doesn't wear a dress, but he can in your version if you want him to

Do either of them still have that awesome fem attire?

Gerard does, yeah - but one day he finds that the stockings have gone missing and they may or may not be in Frank's possession

What colours does Gerard dye his hair?

It stays black for a while, and then he goes red, for old times' sake

How did Bert propose?

On the beach, on Gerard's birthday. The sun was setting, it was very romantic, etc etc

What happens to Pete and Patrick?

They live happily ever after with no complications and they adopt a girl a few years after Mikey and Ray marry

How long did it take Gerard and Bert to get together after Frank left?

At least a year

Does Frank ever really move on from Gerard?

Not really, but...

Does Frank still love Gerard and does Gerard still love Frank?

Gerard will always be important to Frank, no matter who he falls in love with in the future, because Gerard changed and excited him. But I don't think Gerard ever really loved Frank as much as Frank loved him. Crush, maybe. But not love. He more loved the idea of the risk of being with someone like Frank, rather than the boy himself

Did Gerard ever feel happy with Frank or was it just some distraction from Bert?

More of a distraction, if I'm honest; Bert's never been 'all there', so to speak, and y'know, people go through rough patches...

What do Frank's friends think of what Gerard did to him?

They didn't like it, obviously, but once they talked it all through, they, y'know, calmed down and such

Am I ur bae?

No

Does Frank's mom give him shit and say I told you so?

In the beginning, yes

Does gee ever feel bad about what he did to Frank?

Every single day

What was your inspiration for this?

There was a lot really, yeah No Shows was some of it, lots and lots of music like P!ATD, MCR, FOB, etc

What happens to Frank's mom?

Yeah she leaves his stepdad (forgot his name oops) and is less of a bitch than she was, and once all the Gerard shit's calmed down, he does see that she had a point, and they get on well afterwards

What happened to the edible body paint?

Wouldn't you like to know ;)

Was Frank basically a fwb?

To an extent, yeah

Was Bert abusive?

Yes and no

Thanks guys!!
