⸻ YOU'VE GONE SOFT, MATE. ❞ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 liam and emma understand each other perfectly and yet it's not enough. ( liam gallagher x fem!oc ) ( 1994 - ? )

Rebecca (Bex to her friends) Brown lives and breathes music. She spends her nights in her room as the sole content creator, editor, photographer, and printer of her fanzine: Ten Storey Love Songs. She's slowly been building a loyal fan base under the pseudonym of Ben Brown. You see, as a sixteen year old girl in 1994 it's difficult to be taken seriously in the middle aged, male dominated music world. One night, Bex takes a chance. One single decision. One single piece of advice she is given changes the course of her life. And also the life of one surly, opinionated Mancunian singer/guitarist/songwriter: Noel Gallagher. One chance meeting results in this pair weaving in and out of each other's lives for the next 30 years.

It's 1987 and Maggie Mitchell is your designated, unfriendly, neighbourhood "goth girl". And when that neighbourhood is the council estate of Burnage in Manchester, Maggie has definitely not chosen the easy path in life. 17 years old and desperately waiting out the long, wet summer before she finally gets to spread her wings at college in London by working in Sifter's records she comes across one last final hurdle in her bid for freedom. A new employee that is the most insufferable, obnoxious bell end she's ever been unlucky enough to meet. Noel Gallagher is bored. 20 years old and fed up of being unemployed, on the dole and waiting to get out of Burnage somehow. As a loyal customer at Sifter's he sees a job opportunity going that'll get him where he wants to go quicker. One problem though. He'll have to work with the scary "goth girl". Fantastic.

Nothing ever really happened in Burnage. Nothing good anyway. Beatrice, Trix to her friends, always felt like she was waiting on something even remotely exciting to happen to save her from the mundane council estate on the outskirts of Manchester. Then, one day the Gallaghers moved in across the street and things weren't boring anymore. In fact, they weren't boring ever again. Liam is the best and loyal friend anyone could ask for until, that is, you catch feelings for his older brother... Starting in 1987 and the ensuing decade finishing around Be Here Now 1997 era.
