Black Velvet (Remus' Version)

The reason Remus was late is because he didn’t want to go.After the Jagger Disaster (capital D, don't ask), he physically cringed every time he was assigned a rockstar. Unfortunately, writing for Rolling Stone meant he couldn’t exactly escape them, and now, they’d stuck him with Sirius Black.Yes, that Sirius Black.Except Sirius is… not what he expected.Remus swore he wouldn’t fall for rockstar.He really thought he meant it.

This fic will reference Black Velvet (James' Version) quite a bit, and for good reason. One of the main things I wanted to explore was the contrast between the two decades. Sure, 1950 and 1980 are thirty years apart, and sometimes it’s hard to believe they exist in the same universe. The world changed a lot in thirty years, but in many ways, it didn’t change enough. There was still plenty of darkness, and for gay men, the world remained a hostile place. Falling in love was just as dangerous then (1950) as it now (1980)That said, if you haven’t read Black Velvet (James' Version)—shame on you—but don’t worry, you won’t be lost. You won’t miss anything crucial. The references are just there for those who know it.And just like Black Velvet (James' Version), this fic comes with its own playlist to go along with the story.
