As you can probably tell (especially if you've read that one one-shot I wrote a whiles back set in 1979), Liar Liar by Dylan ft. Dan Smith/Bastille is probably the perfect song to describe how the relationship between James & Dave ended. To tl;dr the lore: Dave had been cheating on James the entire time they were together - doing it more when James was away on tour for work - and would straight up lie to James' face about it. James had his suspicions because he'd caught Dave in the act once before and when he found out the last time, James (understandably) lost his shit and broke up with him - kicking Dave out of his flat in the process. 'Killing off my fantasy' I've decided is in reference to how James had thought that they'd sorted the issue out in the past and how he'd planned a great many things with Dave, which were, ultimately, torn into tatters by Dave's serial cheating. 'Always bad news when it comes to you...' in my head, is in reference to how they keep accidentally meeting during the Odd Foxes years and how Dave purposely sets off Frank (which, inevitably, ends up in a fistfight because fuck Dave x).

By chance, Frank meets Dave Stone. setting: some music biz party somewhere in London in the mid-80s characters involved: Frank and Dave warnings: none that i can think of although Frankie does, er, threaten some violence (that he doesn't actually mean, it's just to to shit up Dave).

James returns home from a tour (as a crew member for Silk Milk and Ablutophobia) and Dave expects a certain kind of greeting from him. setting: in James' flat in Acton, London, December 1977 characters involved: James & Dave warnings: cw: emotional abuse , cw: toxic relationship (?)

James is anxious about Dave's weekend stayover. setting: In James' flat in Acton, London, early 1978 characters involved: James & Dave Stone (featuring Echo the cat) warnings: none that i can think of
