Years ago (pre-AH, even) I was very much interested in anything about the underground comic artist Dori Seda. Hence, I found this Bruce Sterling story.
As "4 3 2 1" (see other thread), it's a kind of "person-centered AH". In this case, about Dori and Lester Bangs, that music critic of "Almost Famous" (the flick) fame.
Both of them died pretty young. The title hints at it: They not only both survive, but meet (fellow underground artist Krystine Kryttre is involved), and become a married couple. The rest of the story is about their alternate lives.
As said, I just read it at that time because I was so much interested in Dori Seda - just a funny coincidence I stumbled on some obscure AH that way.

After a car accident there, they buy the music Club "Waxy’s Travel Lounge" in Kansas City and stay there. In 2015, he dies, and Dori has a vision of the child they may have had together.
