Summary: One day, six months into the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, Liam Gallagher thinks he is just closing his eyes for a nap. But it doesn’t take him long to realize that it’s no dream when he wakes up in a pub close to his first childhood home ... and the year is 1980. And not only is it not a dream, but he has a chance to go and prevent something terrible from happening to thirteen-year-old Noel. And to help the rest of his family in the long run.
Fifty-three-year-old Noel is also flung back into time shortly after and thus begins a three-year “celestial mission” (Liam’s description) where, together, the brothers go back and forth, back and forth, between their present and their past ... all because Liam made a fervent wish one night when he was eight years old.

Summer 1994. There are only three weeks left before the album comes out. Liam is hungry all the fucking time lately.

There was something burning inside of him: he couldn’t pinpoint which kind of feeling that was, but it was leaving him frustrated and electric, ready to fight whichever cunt dared to cross him, and as he loosened the grip on the tv remote he started to consider the fact that he and Liam were morphing into the same person.

Everything in its Right Place by foxcatcher | oasis | 7k

Liam couldn’t, to the best of his current, limited abilities, explain why Noel was pushing through the revolving doors into a Mayfair hotel lobby.
Or why Paul Weller was walking with him.

her eyes, she's on the dark side by orphan_account | oasis | 6k

Being the first to part, Noel catches a glimpse of Liam in all her glory—smirking lazily, licking her lips to taste her winnings—red and rusty on her tongue, bright blues slowly engulfed fully by the darkest black he’s ever known.
Blood of his blood—and if it isn’t him who is to kill her, she would, him, first.
And, until then, what bliss, this is.

We're only sleeping by 15clubsaday | the beatles | 62k

Paul and John never thought twice about sharing a bed... just two mates too tired to go home after a night of writing songs. But when Jim McCartney walks in one morning to find John still asleep in Paul’s bed, his reaction sets off something neither of them quite understand, forcing both boys to look at their friendship in a different light.

there is something in the world that resembles noel too closely to be random (keep watching) by jaembinn | oasis | 9k

Noel hears about the meteor on the radio in the studio kitchen at noon. Someone from Capital FM says something about a once-in-a-lifetime sighting and how the whole country is buzzing; how the whole earth is buzzing. Noel stands there with his mug of instant coffee and listens without listening.

Liam and Noel's life is shaped by the fact that Liam is different than the other kids. Quiet when he's not crying so quiet that everyone tends to forget that he even has a voice. Everyone but Noel.

Noel knows his father is a fuckin scumbag, but even then, he never thought he'd go lower than the very pits of hell, as he orders Noel to fuck his little sister, as he orders him to commit one of the worst sins ever.

The news spreads quickly across the cultivation world – Wen Ruohan is dead and his murderer declared himself the new leader of the Qishan Wen sect. Wei Wuxian is described as a demon, as a brutal warlord, as a threat to the very existence of the cultivation world.
He is also, unfortunately, the most attractive person Lan Wangji has ever met.

Before Wei Wuxian can say he will join Jiang Cheng and attend the Wen indoctrination, a letter describing the burning of the Cloud Recesses reaches Lotus Pier.
Realizing the danger to the Jiang sect, he decides to stay behind to help with the defenses and keep his sect safe. While he agonizes over the fate of the disciples sent as little more than hostages, he upgrades the wards of the Jiang sect to stand against the inevitable Wen army.

“Who are you, anyway?” Richie asks. “Jealous boyfriend or something?”
“Boyfriend?” Liam splutters. “Boy – I said I weren't a poof, didn't I?”
“He’s me little brother,” Noel sighs. “Followed me here, I suppose. I didn’t know he was gonna show up though, swear down.”
“Your brother,” Richie repeats, eyebrows climbing higher. His shrewd eyes flick back and forth between the two of them. “Oh yes, of course.”
“And who are you, then?” Liam demands. “Some kind of pimp, are ya?”
Richie laughs – it’s not a pleasant sound. “I’m a director, kid. I make films.”

Noel and Liam have a bond. It fixes absolutely nothing, Oasis breaks up, and it dies.
Then, fourteen years later, it comes back.
