Description
Logan Carraway leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Logan lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Roman Gatsby and across the bay from his cousin, Patton and his philandering, blue-blooded husband, Janus Buchanan. It is thus that Logan is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Logan bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles. [PLEASE NOTE!: There is major character death in this, for those of you who haven't read The Great Gatsby. Also, I'll be combining the 2013 movie along with the book and I'll try to get it in a good mixture, without it seeming like it'll jump all over the place, dialogue wise. Also, keep in mind, because this is a TGG AU, most of the chapters will be in first person, as Logan is the one telling the story. Also, also, because this takes place in the 1920's, there will be period-typical racism, just as in the original book. Anyhow, that's all, hope you enjoy reading!] [Main Relationship(s): Royality (Romantic), Patceit/Moceit (Romantic)] [Side/Implied Relationship(s): Logince (One-Sided Romantic), Demus (Romatic), Analogical (Platonic or Romantic {not even the original book can make up it's mind on if Jordan and Nick are dating})] [Cross-Posted on AO3]
