Pairing: Brian May x Fem!Reader

Summary: When studying at Imperial College in the 1970s, your path is crossed by a beautiful boy as much in love with the stars as you.

Setting: Imperial College London, late 1974 through 1975. You’re good friends with three young men named Freddie, Roger, and John. You share a class with Brian but do not know him well… yet.

Warnings: the fact that I write John Deacon’s nickname as ‘Deacy’ (don’t yell at me; that’s how Brian spells it), swearing, an innuendo here or there but nothing much, slight angst, reader has occasional feelings of worthlessness/self-deprecation, so slow burn you’ll want to kill me if I write it well :’)

A note on the historical inaccuracies of the story will precede each chapter, but for now, here are—

Some General Historical Inaccuracies:

Queen was touring the world for Sheer Heart Attack during most of 1975

‘Killer Queen’ had topped charts; Queen were therefore at this point quite a bit more famous than what I make them out to be

Freddie and Roger likely did not have their stall in Kensington Market (a building which also no longer exists) any longer

John went to Chelsea College in London, which is now a sector of King’s College London

Brian and Chrissie Mullen were together during the 1970s and had been since the late 1960s, oops

This fic will be rather lengthy, with each chapter, aside from the prologue, being between 3k and 6k words, but like I said, this is slow burn. Veeeery slow.

It is also, for the time being, uncompleted. There will be about 20 chapters in total.

Anyway. Enjoy the fic, and be sure to let me know what you think!
