    Summary

    "Noel stared down at the letter from the hospital blankly. His hands shook slightly as he got to the bottom. What the fuck? What the actual fuck?

    It almost felt like a bad joke. As if the universe had conspired against him just as things were starting to get better again. Of course he’d have to have just made amends with Liam for it all to just fall through his fingers again."

    When Noel receives the worst possible news he's forced to re-evaluate everything including how to proceed with he and Liam's relationship.

    The question is can their love withstand the difficulties that lay ahead?

    Summary

    It’s a picture Noel sees, inadvertently, that starts it all off. 

    His mam’s doing some big clearout, and he’s sifting through a bunch of photos of himself to see if he wants any, nodding idly as she chats away about what Paul’s been up to, throws in a sentence or two about Liam in her most disapproving tone, eyeing Noel to see how he reacts. He just carries on nodding, setting aside the picture of him in the red jumper at Knebworth, sweaty and concentrated, and picking up another random photo from the assortment on the table. 

    It’s not him. It’s Liam, from their Glastonbury gig in ‘94, just as pretty as Noel remembers; full lips slightly parted, long lashes dark behind his sunglasses. He’s got one fist in the air, hidden by the long sleeves of his jumper, and in the other he’s holding a star-shaped tambourine.

    Summary

    In November of 1996, Oasis is recording their epic third album 'Be Here Now'. The band has played to historic crowds at Knebworth and Loch Lomond, and Oasis' most cocaine-fueled, chaotic period is in full swing.

    Noel Gallagher is about to find out that winning control, and keeping it, mean precisely fuck all if you can't control yourself.

    A story about little white lines and grey moral lines, and what happens when everything gets crossed.

    ---

    “Tell me you’re sorry.” Noel blurts. His heart is beating cocaine-fast, adrenaline and arousal crashing through him.

    “W’tfor?” Liam slurs, and Noel has to laugh at the audacity of it.
