Maybe it's time for the universe to have a reset
Title: Maybe it's time for the universe to have a reset
Author: umlautless, but that journal has been fic-free for almost a decade, so posted on diacritical
Artist: jenni_snake
Fandom: Big Bang Theory
Pairing(s): Stuart/Leonard, Stuart/OMC, Stuart/OFC
Rating: Mature/R (language, drug use, sex; the language is more vulgar than you'd hear on network TV at 10 PM, but the sex is less explicit than you'd see on cable)
Warnings: (in no particular order) Drug use, casual sex, infidelity, unplanned pregnancy, adoption, depression, homelessness, parade of original characters
Word Count: ~36k
Summary: Initially inspired by the prompt "Just... just someone love him. Hug him. Make him happy. With or without Zoloft." The story of Stuart's life took on a life of it's own. Leonard and Stuart have something of a slowly developing relationship made of equal parts restrained contentment and frustrating detachment. Or: "When I look back and think about times I was really unconditionally happy, and it wasn't quickly marred by my ability to make exactly the wrong choice at every intersection, it was 1993. And then, maybe last Thursday."
Notes: A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short. Thanks to my beta, who lacks on online persona, for enduring months of me babbling about this, and always providing great ideas. Thanks to my artist, Jenni_Snake, who did not read my early draft and run far away from me and my terrible ideas, and made me some awesome cover art:
Prologue | Chapter 1 | Los Angeles | Chapter 2 | Providence | Chapter 3 | Oakland | Chapter 4 | Alhambra | Chapter 5 | Epilogue
Read it on AO3 (Eventually).
