#abelfoxes

fear is a song written by abel in the odd foxes/untoward verse which is about being aromantic + bisexual (without really knowing at the time that he's aromantic); it appears on their debut 1982 album light & shadow.

Meet Odd Foxes' labelmate pals, Wilderness - a band who've been around for roughly about as long as Foxes have and came up in the scene around the same time. They come into the Fox Drama™️ during the 1985 Wall Jumping Tour and Abel, specifically, gets, er, entangled with Tim.

Following a rather lackluster gig (no thanks to the terrible acoustics of the venue), and in the privacy of the band's dressing room, Abel notices that Eddie doesn't seem to be acting like his usual self and tries to get to the bottom of it. characters: abel campbell & eddie granger setting + timeline: a dressing room at the haçienda, manchester, england | february 1983 warnings: cw: implication of transphobia, cw: implied transphobia other: n/a
