A/N: This fic is an homage to 80s adventure films that I loved, including the first 3 Star Wars films, Indiana Jones, Romancing the Stone, and Back to the Future. Many, many thanks to my beta, jdl71, to amberdreams for creating such captivating art for this story, and Wendy, for moderating this year’s Spn-j2-bigbang. Y’all are rockstars!

The title is from the song “Message of Love” by the Pretenders: “We are all of us in the gutter/But some of us are looking at the stars.” Listen Here
