This chapter - Pro choice protest, mentions of abortion and reproductive rights, no abortions happen but the characters are all pro choice
Here's a little summary of what this fic is about
It's the late 1970s, power cuts, strikes and political upheaval are the norm. Crowley, a self confessed rich spoiled little shit, has run 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 dad’s 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…
What happens when two disaster puppies, whose families are at opposite ends of the political divide, end up getting into a band and getting together?
