Rating: R at absolute max.
Pairing: Joe/Patrick
Words: c.4,700 this chapter.
Author's notes: This fic is written in a slightly AU timeline, where Andy joins the band straight away. One or two formerly key players may also be conspicuous by their absence...

This chapter has been a motherfucker to write, content-wise. I've actually finished this chapter with what was supposed to happen at the end of next, having cut out thousands of words. I know it's been a while but harassing me for chapters just makes the whole process more frustrating. Chill, kids. They'll keep coming.

Be warned: boys are boys in this chapter. We're hitting the mild-R, kids.

Disclaimer: Get me a Dolorean and I'll make it real; until then, sadly not true.
