...this is fix-it fic for The Great Gatsby and I am HERE for it.
Anyway, this is why it's important for books to come out of copyright after the author dies, so that writers like McLemore can have fun with texts like this.
It's a completely different book and also it's so obviously a response rather than a retelling and it basically upends the entire original. In a good way. I was delighted.
