Can I Crash On The Couch?
Summary
No one can predict how their life will turn out. Everything is left to chance, and maybe a little bit of luck. What if there was one defining moment in your life that decided the course for the rest of your life? And then you went and fucked it up? Matt and Gerard messed up their defining moments. Now they have a chance to start over, back at the very beginning, and they're going to do it right this time. (Maybe.)
Disclaimer: I do not own any famous characters that you may recognize, such as the two bands I will be playing with: Avenged Sevenfold and My Chemical Romance. I do, however, own all original characters. If you are confused about who is borrowed and who is owned, all you have to do is ask.
Warning: This isn't really a warning, just more of a precaution. This warning is to hopefully prevent someone from yelling about some fact about a band being incorrect. This story is the very definition of an Alternate Universe story. The more important things will remain the same, like the band lineups. Other things will be changed to suit my needs, or is it wants? Whichever. For example, ages! I know that certain people are older than others and so on, but I'm changing things to suit my needs/wants. That's the beauty of fanfiction, right? Also, no girlfriends/wives will be in this story. It's not because I don't like them; it's the exact opposite actually. I love these three bands, which means I love the people they love. Like their wives. For this same reason, not many siblings will appear in this story either. The goal is to keep this as simple as possible. My focus is on the bands and my own original characters. So, please, no hating. If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them all!
