Punks without pants Chapter 9

Rating - Explicit

CW/ TW - previous chapters - swearing a lot of fucking swearing, homophobic and sexist remarks, minor injury and a tiny bit of blood. 

This chapter - swearing, minor violence, homophobic insults, brief mention of drug use, brief recall of past physical abuse from a parent, peeing in an alleyway.

Link to the chapter here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/61929289/chapters/162673981 

It’s road trip time! We’re leaving London and heading north, for cobbled streets, proper old school pubs and the place that was the centre of the Northern soul scene. 

What the beta’s are saying on chapter 8:

“I am sat here giggling: feeling so bad for Crowley but at the same time thinking "of course he charged up there with no plan.”

“I love this, how he learns new things about Az or comes to new realizations about him by observing the places he spent time in”

Thank you thank you to my wonderful Beta Readers - @rofell, @secretlywingedphantom, @angie-words, @sakascal, @springofviolets,

Thank you to @ines2925 for the wonderful fic art.

Thank you to @whickberstreetwriters and @goodomensafterdark

Brenda Lee - Time and Time Again (1966)

Brenda Lee is one of the few artists who have been named to both the Rock n' Roll hall of fame and the County hall of fame. While her Christmas song seems to be her lasting legacy, she really did have a career that crossed over into several genres. Here she's showing off her soulful vocals.

Another extra night of So It Goes at the Homestead in San Francisco this Saturday- it’s Dema’s birthday! Dipping into some Britpop and Northern Soul along with the usual punk, post punk, power pop and such.

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. "

Thank you so much to the army of beta readers who have encouraged me and helped me along the way. Beta readers have included -

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.
