Sooo yeah you need to quit your job and just keep writing chapters for this story, K? That last chapter was exciting and I can't wait to find out what happens!! You didn't need my help for nothing :D
First off, I really like the mood you've set in the first chapter, it was very serene and it made me feel at ease; almost like I was there with Gerard when he was lighting his cigarette and standing in the cold. I also really like the analysis of his character in the chapter. It makes me think that he might be like that in real life.
All in all, I really like to see where you plan on taking this story, because this seems like the start of a real quality fic (:
