Summary:

Michael didn’t seem particularly shocked when Gerard approached him with the idea, but then, Gerard had never seen his younger brother look particularly shocked at anything. He merely looked at Gerard, blinked once or twice, and repeated in a flat tone, “You want me to help you dress up like a woman.”

“It’s the stays in particular I think I’ll need help with,” Gerard told him. “Well, and buttoning the dress, and perhaps the wig.”

Author's Notes: This started out as my fic for the periodbandom challenge, but then I hit a nasty combination of writer's block and real-life stress. So, uh, here it is, only two and a half months late! Immeasurable thanks to bexless for betaing, and to various and sundry flisters for encouragement and demands that I finish it. Hope you guys like it. :D (Also, the title comes from here. Well, part of the title. I bet you can guess which.)
