Thinking about how this is the first time Zoot and Lips were seen Standing Next To Each Other™️, and it isn't even on Disney Plus because they cut this segment from the episode
So I've never mentioned this before, but the first Zoot/Lips fic I ever wrote was actually a 600-word drabble, a couple days after Muppets Mayhem came out. It never saw the light of day, mostly because I realized that the concept was too big to fit into a drabble and I would need a much longer story to tell it. So now, I'm finally writing that longer story!
Summary:
Zoot's photographs are quite literally his memories. So whenever he sells a photo at the art gallery, he loses that memory forever. And his photographs of Lips turn out to be his biggest sellers. By the time the band reunites, all his memories of Lips are gone, and Zoot has no idea who Lips is or how in love they used to be. It's up to Lips to get those memories back.
Each is chapter named after a jazz standard, so it's got some music to go along with it. Here's the song for this chapter!
