Not usually one to promote my own fics, but I love this one so much and very few people have seen it - so here it is in the hope someone else may enjoy it :)

Summary

The sweet sound of the clarinet, reaching up to the highest points of its soaring range. The sharp accompaniment of the trumpets blasting in agreement. The low, gutsy undertones of the trombone growling below the rest. The driving snare, the crashing cymbal, the bass drum, propelling it all on in a mad, cavorting dance that wove its way around the dancers that crowded the room, winding its way up the stairs between couples entangled in a dance all their own, and banisters adorned in cocaine.

The 30s roared past them in a blur of drug fuelled partying and gossip, yet there was a group that stood out from the rest. They partied harder, loved stronger and lived quicker than any others. The papers and much of the youth adored them, whilst the elderly looked on in scandal.

The papers dubbed them The Marauders.

Roaring 30s/Bright Young Things AU inspired by the first scene in the movie of the same name
