Summary: Ten years ago, Ben Linus killed several of his own people and left the Island on a stolen submarine, with a child that wasn't really his. He and his son have been running ever since, from one end of the United States to the other. But no one can run forever, not even them.
(In this chapter: Sometimes, there is no right thing to do, no way to fix it. Sometimes, the best you can do is make sure that no one's left thinking that they're going through this all alone.)
Author's Notes: This is a Glee/LOST AU crossover. Fic is a work in progress, but I do have a substantial backlog of chapters to post while I work on the newest ones. I hope to post once a week, on Sundays, barring fire, flood, corset-related disasters, and/or LJ outages. Previous chapters and supplemental materials can be found on
the masterpost.
