Unholyverse

by Bexless

After a troublesome day, piercing artist Frank goes out for a tattoo. Following his experience in the uncanny shop, he meets a priest, Gerard, who erases his pain from the tattoo and discovers that Frank has stigmata—marks corresponding to those left on Jesus's body by the Crucifixion. Frank is, however, an atheist and Gerard wants to uncover the truth behind his marks.

All hail the master of all Frerard stories.

“You don't ever have to be ashamed of these, Frankie,” Gerard murmured, his lips moving against Frank's shoulder blade.
“You got these because you're brave, because you're selfless, because you were chosen for something. You should be proud of them.”

words can not describe my love for this fic.

ever since i've been in the mcr fandom (for almost 2 years and a few months now) i heard abour this fic but i never had the courage to read it.

i loved everything about it. the ideea, the descriptions, the dialogues, the accurency of catholicism, the fact it was not rushed at all and that Bexless was not afraid to go deeper and deeper into sensible things. religion is a very rough subject that not many people can handle working with, but Bex proved them wrong.

i don't care if this is an AO3 fanfic, it should really get published. i want to have it in my bookshelf and stare at it for hours and hours and re-read it a milion times.

if you don't mind i'll put 'losing my religion' on and sob in the corner of my room.

Pues continuó la lectura de fan fiction. ¿Quien diría?

Me incomoda leer acerca de personas reales en situaciones ficticias, sobre todo porque son ideas que los fans tienen sobre dichas personas.

Sin embargo, la idea detrás de esta historia es increíble. Llena de situaciones sobrenaturales, ideas religiosas, una lucha entre “el bien y el mal.” Aprendí mil cosas en una pieza de ficción sobre una banda de rock…

Hay buenas ideas por ahí, pero me gustaría que no fueran tan fiction :)

3.5/5

Oh hell yes. I love when fanfiction is on goodreads. I read this over the break and it was awesome.

i have a lot of admiration for someone who can write a work of fiction longer than the average novel without any monetary motivation. i was going to say, 'damn, bexless really wasted her talent, she should have edited this and made it a novel!", then realized she couldn't since the first book is a ripoff of the movie stigmata. not as good as i remember but not as bad as i expected it to be on a third read (yes, that many times). sometimes childish. mostly read this for the nostalgia factors and it was fun to make up new faces for all the guys in my head (because imagining them actually being mcr makes me feel weird. sorry.) but overall very fun to read again.

This story is like if Supernatural, Scooby-Doo, and My Chemical Romance all had a beautiful gender ambiguous child. Actually, this is what I wish Supernatural was. Seriously, the writing is so good it ALMOST converted me. Still Agnostic though. I only have one complaint; how did Gerard actually come back to life? I feel like the answer was really ambiguous but also I understand that sometimes there just isn’t an answer in supernatural scenarios. Either way, this is a masterpiece that every MCR fan should read at one point in their life.

En efecto, es literatura 🚬 🚬
Me encanta que Gerard realmente esté escrito como un verdadero padre, que la historia tenga suspenso y no solo se base en c0ger

Ahí les va mi resumen de Unholyverse xq si

Pt1: Stigmata
Pt2: FOB y un culto todo raro
Pt3: Gerard endemoniado
En el bonus todos estaban super horny af

I have no shame. None. I will reread this until I die. You could tell that it wasn’t Bexless’s main goal to have them fuck, they wanted to torture Frank and Gerard first.

Also, the characters had a full fledged conversation about which Buffy characters they would be and we got the masterful line “Ray is a hairdresser!”

no one ever talk to me about this ever. 10/10.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Alex Butulescu · Rating 5 out of 5]

made me ultra catholic for a while (seems to be a common occurrence)

[Sabdi Rojas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un buen libro. Me la pasé genial leyendo, aunque esperaba que Mikey y Pete quedaran juntos. Aún así, fue grandioso leer algo entretenido, cómico y que me mantenía deseando cada vez más.

[max · Rating 5 out of 5]

idc this is a book to Me. and this is GOOD. i would love this even if it wasn't mcr fanfic.

[H.C. Myers · Rating 3 out of 5]

The details were awesome. The dialogue was hilarious and the relationships everyone had with each other was exciting.

But the bigger picture didn’t fit together. The atmosphere of every scene was missing, which is supposed to be the easiest part of a book. This made it hard to follow, especially with how the three parts were supposed to connect. Nothing flowed. It just happened.
