Looking for a story…
I know it’s a long shot but does anybody know where I could find the Jared Followill fanfiction called “Pirate Smile”? I discovered it years ago (like maybe in 2010) on Quizilla and then later on Mibba. It was a beyond brilliant story just like the one by @ownisyoulove-blog.
It appears as though Mibba no longer works which is a real shame. Quizilla has obviously been gone for a long time too. And maybe the Kings of Leon fanfiction community hasn’t had much activity since about 2013 (I could be wrong though as I haven’t really checked into it since about then or so).
Thanks in advance!

Many groups tend to destroy themselves thanks to the fame they gain too quickly, which can be seen in their music then. I mean, I'm not surprised Kings Of Leon were close to their destruction, because their music follows the archetype of what rock supposes to be. I hear a lot of influences in their sound, though they put their own swagger – the latter might be a quality many modern musicians understand as the secret ingredient to reach their idols, but I digress – and they do the idiom that tries to be dangerous. This might be my problem with them, i.e. they are a facsimile, which shouldn't be seen as a bad thing. However, they don't play with the notion, you notice they consider themselves to be the real deal. To be honest, many of their peers are similar in their line of thinking.

You mentioned gorgeous was written before met gala. Could this be why? I saw many responses mentioning she had met him before that and had connections to gigs as well.
I did a post on this the other day, but it was buried at the end of one about 29 April, so copied here, with a comment on the Met Gala ticket below.
Joe Alwyn, the Bowery Gastropub & Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk "reshoots"
A Reddit and Toe-Tumber version of this story is:
Joe was in LA for BLLHW reshoots and was with co-star Garrett Hedlund, who's friends with Caleb Followill who is married to Lily Aldridge who was at Gigi's party where we know Taylor was. There is a pub named the Bowery Gastropub on Sunset and Vine so of course Taylor met Joe there because 6 degrees of separation. It somehow makes sense that Tayvin continued and Hiddleswift happened and that she wrote in the lover journal that Toe started dating 3 months before January.
Issues with this story:
This story hinges on a screenshot from an office assistants LinkedIn claiming to have worked freelance on reshoots for the film for 2 months March and April 2016. If you search the words in the screenshot the Linkedin profile does say that. However if you look at profiles for editors, videographers and producers on the film they all ended mid-2015. Perhaps the freelance office assistant was working on a different film, or listed the wrong task.
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk had no reshoots. They had no budget for them and shot specifically to avoid them. It was also not shot in LA.
Footage for the film had already been debuted on 16 April 2016. They were definitely not still shooting a low budget film 2 weeks later when it was being screened and was released in November
Joe was in London on 20 March 2016. There is no reason to think Joe was in LA.
Joe and Garrett Hedlund did attend the Met Gala - however as a C/B lister Garrett would not have a plus one, more likely he was Lily's plus one!
Caleb Followill, and his brother and bandmate Nathan Followill go way back with Harry - Nathan has a matching tattoo of the other half of Harry's broken heart tattoo! Harry (and Taylor) were last seen together at a Calab Followill's 2015 birthday party. If the Followill connect/ Bowery gastropub is true at all, it was not a no-name friend of a friend who was in London! 😂 It was a BFF who was in LA and flirting with his ex-GF.
This story reminds me of this quote Taylor gave Rolling Stone in 2014, about the snowboarding accident and OOTW:
"People think they know the whole narrative of my life, I think maybe that line is there to remind people that there are really big things they don’t know about."
How did Joe get a ticket to the Met Gala
Firstly, Joe was already modelling, had been at fashion week and appeared in a few films, he was from a wealthy family, his father was also a filmmaker. He may have just bought his ticket and been approved by Anna Wintour as a model. In 2016 that was $35,000 USD. Kate Upton paid to attend for the same reason Joe would have - to build their profile.
Another possible scenario is that he was part of the Tom Ford table. At the end of the year he was working a lot with them and later became a brand ambassador.
I think any scenario where Taylor paid or he was a plus one of a C-lister co-star are bogus. Only A-listers get plus ones, who are vetted. Taylor using Anna connections and paying for the ticket at that stage - then leaving with Tom Hiddleston, who she was at Anna Wintour's house with the night before the Met Gala is far fetched from a romance or PR POV.

Kings Of Leon - Nothing To Do
The video for Nothing To Do was produced and directed by Kings of Leon and Casey McGrath and was filmed by Caleb Followill, the bands singer and guitarist. The song is taken from their forthcoming album, Can We Please Have Fun which will be released on the 10th May.
There is panic on the streets
Man is obsolete
The wires got crossed and now we don’t speak
There’s a deer in the pool
And sperrys on the line
He’s looking for directions
Tell me is this your place or mine
And the kid is getting tall
He’s running up the wall
On the list of complaints is you don’t call
Cause you
You want nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
I got the message
It’s only legend after all
Nothing to do with
Touched by the thunder
And kissed by the rain
I’m a man on a mission of going insane
There’s a gold in the breeze
It’s running in your hair
Is it in my head is neither here nor there
And a picture framed of the day we met
It’s a mystery
How could i forget that you
You want nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
I got your message
I got the number off the wall
You want nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
There is panic on the streets
Man is obsolete
Our wires got crossed and now we don’t

I've seen a lot of people say that Eddie would sound like Kings of Leon lead singer Caleb Followill, and if you haven't listened to this song please do:
this is literally what I picture in all those Chrissy x Eddie fics where he writes a song for her and Corroded Coffin performs it
like listen to the lyrics and tell me it's not just 1000% Them.
