Punks without Pants Chapter 2

Punks Without Pants Chapter 2

Rating - Explicit

CW/ TW - (for this chapter) Swearing -seriously, lots of f*cking swearing, some reference homophobic insults, Crowley has a bad relationship with personal hygiene, drinking, partial nudity.

Summary: This is an AU based in London around the end of 1978 to 1979 known as ‘the winter of discontent’. Strikes, protests and political upheaval were the norm. Crowley, a self confessed rich spoiled little shit, is more discontented than anyone. Running away from his life of privilege he lands in a squat with Hastur a dodgy student who makes "art" from found metal. Has Crowley told anyone where he came from? Has he fuck. He's spiked his hair, torn his jeans and signed up for the dole, he listens to punk and is pretending he's as ordinary as everyone else....

Az an avid follower of the Northern Soul music scene is having a pretty shitty time of it. His dads been laid off and he's had to come down to London to work for his uncle who owns the punk venue Dingwalls. He spends his nights breaking up fights and serving pints to groups of pretentious "punks" who have more hair gel than manners...

Excerpt chapter 2 - "As Az pushed his way back to the bar he felt something under foot. He'd trodden on somebody's hand. He looked down and saw it belonged to the redhead from earlier. He was on the floor struggling to get up. Their eyes met and Az noticed the poor bloke looked quite panicked. 

My god the colour of those eyes, thought Az before he could help himself. 

He grabbed the lapels of his leather jacket and pulled the prone man up, maintaining eye contact the whole time. He set him on his feet, and gave a curt nod as if to say “there you go” and carried on back to the bar. "

And a massive thank you to the lovely u/Ines2925 for the fic art attached. It was a wonderful Christmas present and such a privilege to have an art for this before it was even published.

The Sapphires - The Slow Fizz (1966)

The Sapphires were two men and a woman from Philadelphia, who recorded the sublime Who Do You Love and Hearts Are Made to Be Broken. This sounds like a completely different group; upbeat, girl group soul, with no male voices whatsoever.
