Disclaimer: People sort of own themselves, don't they? Which means this is a work of fiction.
Notes: Based on the 40's AU established by A Dream That Could Not Last. Fulfills the "falling in love" square on my schmoop_bingo card. Beta'd by the always-awesome lillijulianne.

Notes: We have less than 24 hours left of 2007, so time for a New Year fic. In the same 'verse as the Rymon/Cake High Art. Chris sings lines from "One for my Baby" and "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve." Thanks to allysonsedai for the beta!

Title: Radio Friendly Part 1 of 10: Come to Where the Flavor Is
Pairing: Blake/Chris (American Idol)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: In which Blake Lewis gets a new songwriting partner.
Length: 2300 words
Disclaimer: People sort of own themselves, don't they? Which means this is a work of fiction.
Notes: Radio Friendly is an AU set in 1962, when New York was the center of pop music and the Brill Building was where it all happened, when a group of talented songwriters and producers crafted perfect pop hits for artists whose every move was controlled by their label. Pictures and songs will be used along the way to take you back to yesteryear—and for those who'd like more info, see the additional author's note at the bottom.
You're reading this story because lillijulianne was so enthusiastic and allysonsedai insisted that it see the light of day, were willing to keep reading even when I sent three chapters in one weekend, and were instrumental in the flow, in pointing out what it needed and what it didn't, and holding my hand through the entire thing. Thank you, ladies!
