Max acts to forestall the final shot. AU, written for the WA Narrative Voices Challenge.
Forget Joe Gillis, New Years' Eve, and shots fired. Forget everything you know about Sunset Boulevard, including the year it was set. Because this is not about Joe and Norma, or even Max and Norma. It's about Norma and a girl. Elizabeth "Beth" Woods wants nothing more than to meet her idol-the great Norma Desmond. And she just might get her wish... MOVIE-VERSE
Shameless fluff between Max and Norma in which he takes care of her when she's sick.
Have to publish certain number of stories to be beta sorry this isn't an actuall story
