On a lunar hotel built for ghosts of fame, two rockstars orbit each other like doomed satellites.
Miles still plays like it means something. Alex writes songs about things he swears he's forgotten.
Between empty martini glasses, late-night broadcasts, and the echo of what they used to be, they find themselves tangled in a love that can't survive re-entry.
Tranquility Base was never built for happy endings.

Nothing You've Come To Expect - Alex Turner
Who would have thought, that I'd be here telling the story of this love. Serendipitous. Unespected. A love like a ache in the jaw that made my ordinary life somersault. *Little challenge* find all the songs references 😉 *NOTE: I named my Y/n only way far in the story. I went back and updated with her name in the older chapters. If you see a forgotten "Y/n" that's why! **NEW** Playlist now available! DM me for the Spotify link https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4sr2XpYdtj8C5WoIkdyN9W?si=Gvj14hGxT42zP3-r_l2BNw&utm_source=copy-link ----------------------- The story is set around the Last Shadow Puppets Tour in 2016 and moves towards the Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino era. It mostly follows the real time line, but not completely (ie. concert dates/locations don't always reflect the real ones). Some of the characters are based on real people. Dude, it would be awesome to know them personally but I don't, so their role in this narrative is fictional. While the events are fictious, some elements here and there in the story are inspired by things the characters (mostly Alex and Miles) said/did in interviews or shows.Complete

As time goes on and the lockdown never seems to end, will they be able to keep out of each other's way, or will their feelings get the better of them, and will they ever get to the bottom of what drove them apart in the first place?Complete![He misses, feels, thinks.

But he is far from fulfilling their wish, because what they don't know is that their precious son belongs to the LGTBQ community, which his father despises. Alex's routine lifestyle takes a turn, when he meets Miles, the office messenger, who with his charisma and carefree gait, generates a desire that Alex is unable to control.
