Author: rosiedoes
Betas: shiny_starlight
Rating: R at absolute max.
Pairing: Joe/Patrick
Words: c. 8,700 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 is the first chapter of TWNW that has been posted since 2009 and is dedicated to Lewis & Soren, without whose influence it would not exist. Sorry about the wait.


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