waycest mafia au anyone? thinking either with both brothers involved, or gerard refusing to get involved with the family business/going to jail/ something else happening and mikey having to step up to take his brother's place. then they run into each other a few years later/gerard gets out/.....
we can discuss details, those are just vague ideas. i'm looking to play mikey in this, tough i could play gerard as well if your heart was set on playing mikey.
