Page 33 – Hiatus Week 2: Keeping Time x B-SIDE You
Posted on July 11, 2024 by Kody

We're still on hiatus but it's CROSSOVER TIME. Over the past year, I've fallen in love with the webcomic B-SIDE You by Kaycie D, and if you're reading this, I'm preeeetty sure you're gonna love it too, because it's...

Aspiring musician and delinquent-in-reform, Danny Strife, strikes up a friendship with bookish teaching assistant, Alden Taylor, at community college. Danny educates Alden about his favorite subject – music – and Alden shows Danny a potential future at an amazing music school. As time goes on, however, their feelings for each other grow beyond friendship… and definitely beyond student and TA…

Anyway, not only does B-Side You take place in roughly the same era of the aughts as Keeping Time, it's even set relatively nearby, and I am convinced it is therefore not improbable that all these boys exist in the same universe and could therefore hang out. And if they DID hang out, I'm pretty sure it would go a little something like this.

Keeping Time Chapter 2 starts next week Tuesday, on 7/16! Looking forward to seeing you all then!
