Summary
This is an AU that spans from the late 1950s to just shy of modern-day. With the exception of the prologue, it goes in order. It begins in the fall of 1959 at Dalton Academy and follows the trajectory of the American gay experience through our not-always-so-happy couple. While the central story series is Klaine, there are some genfic stories on the side, set in the same universe and timeframe. Mostly because, as I planned out the main story, I kept coming back to all the ways in which the members of New Directions would be different 50 years ago, how many ways their worlds would be unfamiliar or more limited than we think of today. For all politicians seem to talk about what a great time the 1950s were, they weren't for a lot of people.
There will be links periodically to songs involved in the story. Sometimes it's a big plot point, sometimes the character is singing it, sometimes it's just what's on in the background. Think of it like the soundtrack, since it's not something we can hear in the episode because there is no episode. Or disregard it entirely, that's up to you.
And if you happen to want a great kind of nonfiction companion reading, check out Making Gay History by Eric Marcus.
