Part One: Thursday Evening, April 22, 1943
Miss Cassie Reucassel arrived at the club early, as usual, after leaving the refuge centre where she worked with her mother. It seemed like a perfectly calm night, which was either a blessing or a curse, depending on how much the Germans wanted to disrupt her routine. She was hoping nothing would happen. She had, though, gotten used to navigating through the darkened streets at night, thankful that she didn't have to travel far to get to her home. Not everyone was that lucky, and more than once people had been killed by bombing raids because they were out in the open on the streets.

Part Two: Friday Morning, April 23, 1943
Chas was trying to rev the car he’d ‘borrowed’ from a friend when Kelly joined him, slipping in beside him as if he was meant to be there. The car wasn’t that interested in starting, and Chas cursed a little and tried again.

Chas glanced over at Kelly as he wondered whether the car could be hotwired. "Julian, right?"

"Who else? Besides, you're not the only one who's a little curious about our man in there. Shall we?"

“Definitely, when this bloody car decides to start. Here, give us a hand, will you?”

Part Three: Friday Afternoon, April 23, 1943
The base at Lichfield was an overgrown old manor house, built on the site of an old fairground, that had once been owned by an American businessman. It had sat vacant for several years before MI5 acquired it just before the war. It was surrounded by high stone walls with big iron gates, and the buildings inside were closer to caricature than real. It was never set up to be a working manor, and the manor house itself was gaudy and sat somewhat uncomfortably on the land. It looked too big, or too small, or quite the wrong shape. It was never really clear just what was wrong with it, just that it didn't look right.

Title: Don’t Walk Away, Don’t Say Goodbye
Author: Sashataakheru
Fandom: Electric Light Orchestra RPS
Starring: Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan
Pairings: Jeff/Bev, implied Jeff/George Harrison
Word Count: 828
Prompts: 001 Comfort Sex (kink table) (table); 024 My Fairytale (Lime Table) for citrus_taste // ‘pointless’ from dailyprompt
Warnings: ANGST. And sex.
Rating: FRM
Disclaimer: Not true in any way, shape or form.
Author’s Notes: Set early 1988. Also, I feel I have done far too much research for what is essentially an angsty one-shot. Especially when I have a politics essay to write that I could be channelling my energy into instead. XD Also, watch me subvert both ‘comfort sex’ and ‘my fairytale’, because the sex isn’t comforting and the fairytale is just about dead. Muses, you fail. XD
Author’s Notes II: Also, yes, it really was inspired by all three prompts above. And the ELO album Balance of Power, to a certain extent, which was, well, angsty. Poor baby.
Summary: Bev goes to see Jeff about doing another ELO album and things, well, aren’t as they used to be.

This really is one of those pairings that, like Andrew/Bajo, was always going to be written eventually, isn't it? Yeah, thanks, Andrew. I really needed to spend all day writing this for you. No, of course I have nothing important to do. Of course not. *headdesk*

...Someone strangle Andrew for me kthnx. DX

Rating: FRAO
Disclaimer: I don’t know them, not associated with them, just a slashy fangirl admirer with a very active imagination.
Author's Notes: Is anyone surprised how long it’s taken me to write this pairing? It’s all totally Andrew’s fault. He also insisted on the girlfriend. XD
Summary: A mixture of sex dreams and waking moments, mingled together in some sort of coherent manner over a series of nights, leaving Andrew in dire need of attention. Set when he’s about 19-ish (or so he said). Second person.
