   Summary

   Originally written in 2004 when streaming music wasn't that popular

   Starts seventy five years after ‘Not Fade Away’; Angel POV, goes back into the past a lot, hence the really messed up tenses. Title and Lyrics from ‘Under The Bridge” by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers

   Many thanks to Estepheia for doing an amazing beta job. Any mistakes, especially in grammar and tense, are mine, not hers.

   Rating: Hard R – NC-17, I guess; I suck at these things.

   Dubious consent between two people who have known each other for far too long
