Spoilers: Potential spoilers (kind of) for all six seasons of LOST, and up to and through Glee 2X08, "Furt." This chapter references events from LOST 3.20, "The Man Behind the Curtain," and LOST 5.12, "Dead is Dead."
Standard-Issue Short-Form Disclaimer: I do not hold copyright to Glee or LOST, I make no claims to such, and I am not profiting from this. This chapter uses a small amount of dialogue from LOST 5.12, "Dead is Dead."
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: This is why.)
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. NOTE: This fic will be going on a four-week hiatus after Chapter 19, so I can get a good head-start on the more LOST-centric second section. There will be NO new chapters posted April 8 - 29. After that, posting will resume on Sundays as normal.
Previous chapters and supplemental materials can be found on
the masterpost.
