Summary
A mash-up of Our Flag Means Death, Season 2 and the 2012 film, Populaire, which absolutely no one asked for. Populaire is used here to sketch out a world of typing as a sport, and a path to glory, or at least, cushy sponsorships. Maybe the Queen's Gambit snuck in here a little bit too.
Gender-swapped, all our boys are girls; Jim remains non-binary in all universes. This AU is set in the early 1960s in a place that is not really France, but more like the no-place setting of a 90's Mentos commercial. Am I not selling this enough? Break-up era Ed with a massive beehive updo drinking her way through competitions. Tearful Stede typing love letters. Competitive typing. Fashion shows. Beatnik cafes. Weird dreams. Alien abductions. Obscene morse code. Becoming a better friend. A second chance.
