   Summary

   1973. Led Zeppelin is huge, Jimmy is making himself scarce, and Robert is keeping himself busy to avoid thinking about it. It doesn't work.

   I've been wanting to do a tribute to my wonderful friend/coauthor LuxeApocalypse (who came up with the title)'s wonderful story, What Is And What Should Never Be (specifically the 1973 chapter) for a long, long time, but never felt like I had anything to add! Until now! My spin is supposed to be a bit dry and melancholic, retaining the second-person tense that I love so much in WIAWSNB, with added sex with strangers (and friends).
