Summary: Bob is a good personal assistant (the best) and he definitely knows better than to fall in love with his boss. But when your boss is the goth-pop comic master of our time, Gerard Way, there's more to the job than keeping a datebook. There are appearances to shepherd him to, showers to make him take, and deadlines to remind him to meet. And, really, he's so earnest, it's not that surprising that a crush might develop. Just at tiny one.

Reccer's Notes: This is such a wonderfully happy-making story. Bob is so grumpy and sweet and Gerard just plain adorable. They're so much themselves in a slightly-larger-than-life way, and the way they interact and how their story plays out makes me feel all warm and gooey inside. And I love the side characters and the dialogue is spot-on. It's no wonder it's been among my favourite feel-better stories ever since it was posted.
