Set in Berlin, 1977. 25 year old, Allison Shwarz, has lived in Berlin her entire life. She once lived a happy life in a small East Berlin townhouse with her parents, that was until the Berlin Wall was built... She now lives alone in a small West Berlin apartment, working in a local bar day after day, trying to scrape up enough money to get by. She always thought that her life after that night in 1961 would be terrible, but one night when a familiar handsome looking stranger enters the bar, her life changes for the better... ⚡️ This is my first proper go at writing a fan fiction, so all constructive criticism is welcome! I went on a David Bowie tour of Berlin recently and using the information the tour guide told us about his life when he lived there and from my own research, I decided to write this fic! So I hope everything is accurate- if not, don't hesitate to tell me :-) Enjoy!

Once a girl pulled me out of the bar. Of course I quickly came to my senses and brushed her off, walking down the street not looking back. I kept my head down and walked against the wind. I pushed the door to a jewelry store. "I need an engagement ring..." I trailed off. "A nice one."

"Will this be all Ms..." She squinted at my sweatshirt. I knew what was coming, my last name. I've been through this a million times. As did everyone with Juilliard sweatshirts with their last names on it. "Bowie?" My eyes widened. That's not my last name. I looked down at the sweatshirt that I had thought was mine for the last hour. "Um... Yes thank you. You can call me Ilse. I'll probably be back a lot more." I smiled. But my last name isn't Bowie, I must have grabbed the wrong sweatshirt.
