Summary
A mash-up of Our Flag Means Death, Season 2 and the 2012 film, Populaire, which absolutely no one asked for. Populaire is used here to sketch out a world of typing as a sport, and a path to glory, or at least, cushy sponsorships. Maybe the Queen's Gambit snuck in here a little bit too.
Gender-swapped, all our boys are girls; Jim remains non-binary in all universes. This AU is set in the early 1960s in a place that is not really France, but more like the no-place setting of a 90's Mentos commercial. Am I not selling this enough? Break-up era Ed with a massive beehive updo drinking her way through competitions. Tearful Stede typing love letters. Competitive typing. Fashion shows. Beatnik cafes. Weird dreams. Alien abductions. Obscene morse code. Becoming a better friend. A second chance.

Summary
“Wait--is that…?” Lucy tilted her head and squinted at Ed. Bingo.
Izzy rolled her eyes and Fang shrugged as the young woman took a slurp from the straw of her wine-bottle-sized iced coffee and took another look.
“Wow, it is her. Wouldn’t have recognized her if there wasn’t that meme of her punching a paparazzi.”
“Paparazzo,” Izzy corrected.
“What?”
“Singular, one guy. Settled out of court,” said Izzy, ever the stickler.
“The Snoopy t-shirt almost threw me off the scent, looks like kids’ pajamas,” Izzy and Fang exchange a look, as Lucy got that in one, Ed hunted down vintage pjs, “but those are clearly Comme Des Garcons pants and Margiela tabi boots. And not the knockoffs off from Amazon that scuff and peel right away, don’t ask me how I know.”
____________________________A Spooky Season meet cute (or two) in a discount store while shopping for Halloween crap. POV Fang! Fang is finally coming into her own, and out from behind the large shadows cast by her friends, Izzy and Ed.
