Fics like Music is a made-up thing like myth

Francis Crawford was one of the biggest names in twentieth century music. His grandson, who shares his name, wants to be known for his own style and not defined by his famous relative. After winning a battle of the bands competition at Solway Moss, he is snapped up by Lennox Records, and soon finds success isn't everything it's cracked up to be. It's 1979, the Tories just won an election, and the power may be back on but punk is dead and life looks grim. What else is there for a precociously talented teenager to do but embrace all the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll he can get a handle on? - About the archive warnings: You'll know if you've read LC about the age gap between Francis and Margaret. In the UK the age of consent is 16, but I'm aware it may not be elsewhere; on the other hand, you can't legally buy alcohol until you're 18. Basically, expect teenagers doing stupid things, the same sort of nasty relationships you find in canon, and a lot of obnoxious references to music of the '70s/'80s.
