Archive of Our Own

For this Fest we’re moving across The Great Divide; Noah Kahan’s newest album. Write or draw the story that resonates with your chosen song. Want to turn a soul-crushing song into something happy or heartwarming? Do you want to write something silly with darker themes? Or do you just simply want to make us cry? Any interpretation is welcome!
