Title: Mambo Italiano

Author: theremin

Canon: Cobra Kai | The Karate Kid

Pairing: Daniel LaRusso/Johnny Lawrence

Rating: 10,175

Word Count: Teen [PG]

Summary: 50s high school AU. Johnny Lawrence will do just about anything for a chance at a date with Ali Mills.

Recommendation: OMG, this was so cute! I have to admit that the first time I read this I totally overlooked that it was a 50s AU and I just imagined them in the 80s with really retro taste, lol. But it works either way really. Daniel is much more comfortable with his more feminine appeal, and Johnny is a lot more laid back without Kreese's influence. Really, this is the cutest and now I want to go dancing.
