There aren’t many of these, I’m afraid, but I’ve been studying The Great Gatsby for my english class (who hasn’t) and as soon as we got into the conversation about Nick’s sexuality... let me just tell you right now, that man was NOT straight. Anyway, here’s a couple of wonderful fics I read where Nick is categorically not straight!
Boats Against the Current by patentpending on AO3. (7,961 words).
Tags: Time Loop, Alternate Ending, Angst, Period-Typical Homophobia, Period-Typical Racism, Internalized Homophobia, Angst with a Happy Ending, Character(s) of Color, Jay Gatsby Lives, Canon Temporary Character Death.
My Rating: 5 stars.
Description: Cicadas are hissing outside of his window. Nick wakes before dawn. It's the day Gatsby is shot. Cicadas are hissing outside of his window. Nick wakes before dawn. It's the same day.
Notes: This was amazing - I love time loop stories, and this was beautifully done!
litany in which everything is crossed out by lyricsandhearts on AO3. (1,395 words).
My Rating: 5 stars.
Description: He could build a city. Has a certain capacity. There's a niche in his chest where a heart would fit perfectly and he thinks if he could just maneuver one into place — well then, game over.
Notes: This was heartbreaking, but some of the best writing I have ever read.
Unsent Letters from a Heart-Broken Bondsperson by imbeccable on AO3. (2,183 words).
Tags: Canonical Character Death, Heartache, Yearning, Love Letters, Loneliness, POV First Person, Internalized Homophobia.
My Rating: 4 stars.
Description: A series of unsent letters dictating the true feelings of one Nick Carraway, with a single unwitting response from the one who owned his heart.
Notes: These were so gorgeous, especially the last one!
Behind Us, Reflected by irisbleufic on AO3. (4,140 words).
Tags: Fix-It, Alternate Ending, Historical Accuracy, Ambiguous Ending, Happy Ending, Bootlegging, Illegal Activities, Friends to Lovers, Established Relationship, PTSD, Neurodiversity, Disability.
My Rating: 4 stars.
Description: Other echoes inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?
Notes: This was so sweet and I can totally imagine Nick and Gatsby being literal partners in crime.
I hope enjoyed these! Thank you to everyone who recommended some over on my side blog, @linaraiscorner.
had an assignment based on Gatsby where we have to pick a quote we feel has the most emotional weight and make a drawing or collage to reflect it and sadly it is now the most gorgeous piece of art I’ve made in 10,000 years. shoutout to them 1920s queers❓❓
guess whos back with more

It’s The Gay Gatsby, old sport
I did not mean for this to even get shaded, let alone any sort of background, but that’s what happens when you draw while listening to music
Okay so maybe I’m still bad at drawing hands
POV: your famous, rich uncle who has a menagerie of ridiculous and vibrant Hawaiian shirts is making a scene at the local McDonald’s because they put onions in his boyfriend’s happy meal.
