I've never seen any of Marilyn Monroe's movies, and I first watched her "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" performance right before I sat down to write this, and yet I still found myself inspired by this prompt. Also, thanks to anon for the line "Happy Birthday, Mr. Jones." Hope you like!

July 4, 1962. First and foremost America represented his country. But he was also Alfred F. Jones and even he needed to act like a normal human being every once in a while. As the human incarnation of a country, he had connections in high places, and as a regular human he could sometimes be quite charming. He was hardly the same as Francis, but he had been intimate with quite a few movie stars, both women and men. That one night with Marlon Brando had been exceptionally wonderful, Alfred remembered, but tonight he was with a very special woman ( ... )

Oh, Anon. Gorgeous work. Being stuck in Media Studies class makes me want fic about America and ALL of his celebrities--because let's face it, THEY'RE the ones who rule him, but at the same time, they'd be nothing if it weren't for his [obsessive, life-consuming] adoration. The quiet little "You're so pretty" makes me wibble hard. and it's hot, too. ;_; Thank you so much!

That was so cracky, cute and different, I liked it!
I don't think the idea of Alfred running around and hanging out with different Hollywood stars is ever going to go away now xD

In '53 Alfred spent half his time in the Oval Office, when he wasn't busy making the rounds in Hollywood and spending time with the people who - like himself - were busy shaping America's image: at the craps tables, and through a haze of cigar smoke and up there on the silver cinema screen. He hung around with Humphrey and Judy and Frank and Lauren, and they talked about nothing much and made sure to look as glamorous as possible for the media on the scene; they joked about making their own little club, and Alfred laughed and thought of NATO and tried hard to keep on laughing. The Hollywood of the movie-house was still a blessed relief, and he laughed through How To Marry A Millionare and found himself whistling 'Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend ( ... )

The movies came, and each brought Marilyn a step closer to immortality, and even when the crises came (as they always did) it seemed like the lights of Hollywood could never go out. Alfred was an honorary member of the Rat Pack, which was what Humphrey'd decided on calling their little group, and Judy got stick-pin rats with rubies for eyes, and Sammy and Dean joined in. The Fifties were peaking and so were its stars, and despite everything Alfred still made time for Marilyn, who talked to him when she could and sometimes about what she couldn't say ( ... )

That was the last time Alfred saw her, because at her funeral he didn't want to see what the mortician had done. He would remember her the way she'd been in life, and as he looked up at the memories of her preserved in the reels of film, he'd wonder what she'd meant by those words and shrug away the uncomfortable dark thoughts that question always spurred. Time passed, and the world turned, and Marilyn Monroe became (as she had been in life) a legend all the more beautiful for her tragedy ( ... )

Oh God wow. That was beautiful. That was just *wipes away a couple of tears* that was damn good. Bravo.

First author here, and that was beautiful! I really liked all the history woven in and the bittersweet ending.

Coming from the prior fic's author, that's a compliment! :) I'm glad I could finally use all my Trivia Pursuit skills re: old-timey Hollywood, and as to the bittersweet ending... Well, I'm not good enough to write a happy ending that fit. ^_^;

curse you, busted computer, for keeping me from seeing this sooner!

Requesting OP is a puddle. A PUDDLE. There's just not enough ;_; in me for this (these!) beautiful fic(s). The whole... *words failing...* kaleidoscope effect of all the film and music rushing together, and it drowns them out but still it makes them... The lines about Alfred not being able to go the the funeral kill me, and the fact that he does come to understand her through the retrospective breaks my heart. This fic is a historical commentary AND it's powerfully written AND it's heartbreakingly romantic. Awesome, awesome work, anon! ♥

D'awww... *super-blushes!* That's way more praise than I'd hoped to get; I was just crossing my fingers that you'd like it! xD; But I'm glad that you do, and that maybe I did justice to Alfred, Marilyn, and the U.S. Film Industry... for better or for worse! =^_^=
